This FAQ is copyright 2000 to me. Don't copy or plagarise, it's naughty!
-------------------------------------

Here is an incomplete list of spells, skills, etc. My
guide to the game doesn't list them to keep the print pages low
so this is a complement guide.

Each list goes down in order they appear in battle if you have them
all, so you don't need to be able to read Japanese to know
what each skill does. Just count down to the skill you want.

Note: Classic Final Fantasy spell names are used (ex. Cure 2 instead of
Keal-Ra, Bolt 3 instead of Thunder-Ga, Life instead of Rise, etc.)

This is best printed with Microsoft Word, period.

Total Pages: STILL IN PROGRESS
