I promise that I'll try to answer them if I had time to do so. This guide for those somethings that are mostly known to anyone (but just can't be able to read them, 'cause its in Nihongo) and some extra stuff on PSX Tales Of Phantasia (TOP).

Gou Shou Rai (TP:10;LVL:41;a little bit of fire) CC : D,U+[] 13. Senkuu Retsu Ha (TP:16;LVL:45;light->thrust) CC : F,DF,D,DB,B,F+X 14. Guren Ken (TP:10;LVL:50;slash->fire) CC : U,UF,F,DF,D+O 15. Jigen Zan (TP:28;LVL:--;slash) CC : D,DB,B,DB,D,DF,F+X 16. Kokuu Souha Zan (TP:30;LVL:--;light->slash) CC : D,DF,F,D,DF,F+X 17. Kuukan Shou Ten'i (TP:35;LVL:--;light->thrust->slash) CC : D,DF,F,UF,U+X 18. Satsu Geki Bukou Ken (TP:LVL:99;slash->fire) (only with SD equipped) CC : D,DB,B,DB,D,DF,F+[], followed by O,X,U+O,D+X,U+[],O,O,D+[] Remember that in the future, you have to go to several places like fire tunnel and ice tunnel? Well, below are the details. - To learn Jigen Zan, you must defeat Feinbeast and retrieve the Vopal Sword (ice sword) in the ice tunnel (not ice cave). - To learn Kokuu Souha Zan, you must defeat Flamberg and retrieve the Flamverge (fire sword) in the fire tunnel (not fire cave) - To learn Kuukan Shou Ten'i, you must defeat Origin and retrieve the Eternal Sword (combined weapon of Vopal Sword and Flamverge) in the Treant Forest. These three given skills are known as Jikuu Ken Waza (Dimensional Sword Techniques), as well as for ougis like Jikuu Souha Zan and Ten'i Souha Zan which are Jikuu Ougi (Dimensional Secret Techniques). You know that Satsu Geki Bukou Ken is an ougi of TOD' Stan Aileron (CV: Seki Tomokazu). In the US, Satsu Geki Bukou Ken is renamed as Assasin. To have that skill, you have to enter Euclid Fighting Tournament for the ninth time. At the ninth time after you defeat the Calf Beast, you will have to face Lilith Aileron (Stan's little sister). If you won the fight against her, you'll received a weapon known as SD (Swordian Dim- los) which allows you to perform Satsu Geki Bukou Ken. The difference is that in TOP you have do push buttons after the motion like you were doing a chain combo in a fighting game. There are non damaging hissatsuwaza such as : 1. Juu Shou Rai for increasing defense power for a moment 2. Gou Shou Rai for increasing attack power for a moment 3. Shuu Ki Hou for filling up your HP slightly 2. Cless Ougi List Now for the ougi listings. In Phantasia, an ougi can be found in places like stores, caves, camps,etc. Now this is the tough part, which is: To have an ougi available in your skill list, you have to master all two skills that required for the ougi. Here's what I mean : for example you have Majin Ken and Koga Hazan in your list. When you're looked both of them, it shows that the usage of Majin Ken is 50% and for Koga Ha Zan is 70%. For ougi, let's say that you have Majin Souha Zan. But you can't use them, 'cause it needs full mastering of both Majin Ken and Koga Ha Zan. So when you're in battle, just focusing on mastering swordskills. If you got a new skill, use it. It maybe included for ougi requirements. OK ..... here we go!! 1.

At the time, he saw his late father Miguel Alvein praticing with a stuffed target. Saw his liitle child pleased, Miguel perform a move which is Alvein Sytle Final Secret Technique Soukuu Zanshou Ken. When Cless awakes, he has receive a class 'successor' which allows you to perform that ougi. The condition is that Cless is at 1/4 health and the word [POWER] appears at his TP bar and by pressing O+X+[] at once. Desperation time! Just on his quote when he do the move, "Makeru .... mono kaaaa!!!" (I will never lose!) If you used Shuu Ki Hou also at that condition, your health are almost fully recovered. ii.

Since I show you list of skills and job classes here, there one question that you may wonder. How to get Suzu to come with us, is it not? Well, here's the way. (Please note that I tried second time when I do this, so level up your characters before you do this. Just to be a little more easier) In the future after you saw the Rare Birds in Euclid Science Academy, go to Volt Tunnel. You can stay for a night first at a house near it. As you enter the tunnel, go to the right and you'll see a scene where a little kunoichi (female ninja) fighting against two black ninjas. She won the fight in ninja style, of course. Cless and others try to talk to her, but she is in a hurry. Walk up to find her electricuted in an energy coil. Cless tries to help her, but also got electricuted instead. Next thing that the two are free from the coil, but the kuno- ichi goes off again. Go enter the cave and remember to equip the Sorcerer Ring to activate the coil for opening the door for a short time. You may keep rapidly shooting the coil to prepare yourself to run through it. Go to the right. There's a switch to step on somewhere, if you haven't touched it. After you step on the switch, go through the door and go to the right. You find that kunoichi is surrounded by a ninja leader and couple of bad looking goons. Cless was encouraged by Mint and the others to help her. Cless steps in and the battle between Cless against three ninja masters and a hanzou. Try to win this one by equip Cless with a suitable weapon (a Damascus Sword would be nice), hit them with a hissatsuwaza suitable for you and a suitable ougi, which I suggest it will be Majin Souha Zan. Keep on looking at your HP as it may be dropping quick, 'cause you're fighting against these ninjas alone. Keep using items constantly and keep on nailing them until their down. After they're down, Cless and the others try to talk to the kunoichi once more. Feeling that she own her life to them (especially to Cless), the kunoichi told them that her name is Suzu. She thanks them and went off again. Well, its the first step for convincing Suzu to join us later in the game. Now just keep on continue to search for the lightning mys tic Volt. Now that you have Volt and have the Rare Birds available for your own use. Here's another step that you can do before or after going to Alva nista Castle performing tasks given by Runeglom. 1. Retrieve the Rare Birds, which you've already did. 2. Four things that you have to do: 1. A book in Euclid Castle about Japon. 2. Listen to a talk by a man in Venezia. 3. Listen to the people talk in Alvanista (the Major's House maybe?) 4. Listen to a talk by a man in a bar at Arley Village. 3. Enter the Trent Forest. Since no half-elves, Arche will automaticly walk out of the group. That time Chester will replace Arche in your team force. At the entrance of the Trent Forest, the directions will be up,up,up,left,left,left,up,up,up. There's Suzu waiting to take us to her village, which is a ninja village. The vilage name is Ninja No Hoshi (loosely translated Star Of The Ninja). From there you'll be treated by mostly funny scenes on Cless being caught crazy by ninja traps. There are some talks between the gang and Fujibayashi Ranzou, Suzu's granpa and chief in Star Of The Ninja. Mostly about Suzu's lost parents whose last seen in Euclid. Then Ranzou will hand his anscestors' ancient weapon, the Murasame to Cless. 4. Go to the Euclid Castle to register at the Euclid Fighting Tournament. As you entered the ring, you have your first tournament battle. Make sure you equip the Murasame or more suitable weapon and your level are suited for this. For fighting the eighth monster (the Basilisk King), be sure to use lightning ougis like Shuusou Senretsu Ha. After you finished the eighth match and won it, there are two ninjas appear in front of Cless. Meanwhile Cless hear voices which came from the ninjas' inner feelings. There's a fight between Cless against the two ninjas, which way to powerful for Cless. As Cless lost the fight, Suzu appears to save him. Suzu then exclaim that the two ninjas are her parents, but the two deny that. Then she heard her parents' inner feelings to fight them. Suzu fights them and she won the fight, while sad that her parents were controlled by Dhaos. After all that, go to Star Of The Ninja by talking to a ninja in the Village Of Elves. Go to the Fujibayashi house and talk to Ranzou about the whole thing. Ranzou understands that and give Cless an ougi script on Shuusou Raizan Ha, while asks us to look after Suzu. That means that Cless and co. has a new companion, named Fujibayashi Suzu. All you have to do now is go to the shop there to buy some items and equipments, which mostly for Suzu and search for more items in the forest around the village. Those items found will be included spell Earthquake for Arche and BC (Blue Crystal) Rod for Mint. Since I wrote down the steps above to find Suzu and made her to join us, all I have to do now is to write down list of cookings in TOP. Here's the list of cookings, along with the source. 1. Hamburger Use : All small HP recovered Location : - 2. Onigiri Use : All small HP recovered/recovers poision Location : - 3. Roll Cabage Use : All small HP recovered Location : Euclid (Present) 4.
