-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARM MODIFICATIONS
*ARM performance is affected by how and what part of your ARM you choose to 
modify. 
*You can enhance your attack power, your hit probability, or your ammo count. 
*Decide what kind of ARM you want, then modify effeciently. 
*Trying to enhance every aspect can result in an ARM that is awkard to use. 
*You can't undo an upgrade, so upgrade according to a plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BE EVER PREPARED
*Disaster and misfortune may strike at any time.
To survive, you must assume the worst possible scenario and plan accordingly.
*Unpreparedness allows a bad situation to grow worse, overwhelming the 
unprepared.
*Precaution and prevention stop disaster from spreading and help minimize tha 
damage.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BORDERS ARE BARRIERS
*Human settlements grow until they reach the point where a nation is born.
*Filgaia's nations and people are divided by invisible walls called borders.
*The people are further divided bya longing for security and suspicion of 
foreign nations.
*Will Filgaia ever learn to live together as one people sharing the same 
planet?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIARY OF A NAMELESS MERC
*This is for young adventurers aho hopes to become Mercs.
*1. Ask around for information!
2. Always reload your items!
3. Never underestimate the enemy!
*Remember: Cowards live longer. Don't confuse bravery with recklessness. 
*Lastly, never work for free!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINING EMPATHITE
*There aren't many mines where one can mine Empathite. The most famous is Mt. 
Keltepekio Siltolingelon.
*Alias Mt. Chug-Chug. It's said that the name comes from the "Chug Chug" sound 
of the mining machinery.
*While the amount mined is low, the best and purest Empathite is found here 
and sent all over Filgaia.
*The Empathite's power is determined by its size and purity.
*If size doubles, so does power. If purity doubles, power triples. So large, 
pure Empathite is best.
*Currently, the most powerful Empathite ever discovered is being used in the 
Telepath Tower.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TELEPATH TOWER'S USE
*The TekepathTower was designed to broadcast worldwide, so it's got the 
world's largest Empathite.
*Communication Empathite at the broadcast location amplifies the power of the 
transmission.
*Now it's possible to use the Empathite to transmit long distance or to 
regions not reached before.
*Also, Empathite that used to be discarded can be reused, due to more 
efficient use of resources.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE COMING THREAT
*The threat of the Blazing Demon is past, but who knows when another treat may 
appear?
*The next disasytter to strike could be a monster - or it could be a natural 
disaster.
*We are not prepaed to deal with such disasters.
*A treat global in scale could overwhelm us.
*We must unite! But can we? Are our beliefs and ideas too different?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FILGAIA SUMMIT
*The Filgaia Summit is a conference of the nations' highest-ranking leaders.
*The Summit is held every two years or during a crisis.
*During Slayheim's collapse, an emergency summit was held to discuss the world 
situation.
*The Treaty of Iscariot, a peace treaty, was also discussed again at this 
time.
*At the Summit, nations meet to discuss world peace, not their own national 
interests.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ROAD TO WORLD UNITY
*What can unite the world so that all the nations can live as one?
*Absolute terror? 
Overpowering force? 
Common ideals?
*Everyone has different ideas and oppinions. Will the world ever unite?
*In the past, others strove for unity, only to see their achievements vanish 
like a dream.
*Is it even possible dor one ruler to unify the world?
*Perhaps the world will unite only when all the people pf the world desire 
unity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEY WHO ARE KNOWN AS MERCS
*In Filgaia, there are many young adventurers who call themselves "Mercs." 
Mercs can be broadly devided into two types. 
*One type hunts for treasure in the ruins. 
*The other does freelance work, fighting monsters or acting as bodyguards for 
money. 
*Remember that the public considers both types to be scoundrels. 
*That means our bahaviour affects our reputation. That is a heavy 
responsibility.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THE HECK IS PS? - PART 1
*PS stands for Personal Skills, which are set independently for each 
character. 
*These skills used in battle are acquired by spending PS points. Remember: 
*Personal Skills cannot be changed once they are earned.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THE HECK IS PS? - PART 2
*Each time you go up a level you earn 1 PS point to raise your personal skill 
level. 
*The highest character level is 99, so the upper limit for PS points is also 
99. 
*However, acquiring all Personal Skills takes more than 99 points. 
*You must strive for the ideal form for your character within the given 
boundaries.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THE HECK IS PS? - PART 3
*Acquiring a personal skill requires at least 1 PS ponit. 
*Some skills require more than 1 PS point. 
*You can acquire many simple Personal Skills, or save up to acquire a single 
powerful one. 
*Which strategy you use is up to you.
