(The Player)

OK, user registration is done.
Now for a name...
Yasuhiko's probably already there waiting for me. I'd better hurry.


The Player can input a first name and a custom Username, or use the default username Kite. For the purposes of this transcript we will be using the name Kite.

(System Message)

Mac Anu (Meeting Orca)

Kite logs into The World for the first time, appearing in front of a Chaos Gate in a flurry of golden rings. A title card shows the name of the town he warps into as "Aqua Capitol Mac Anu." Peaceful music consisting of strings accompanied by woodwinds loops in the background, and the sounds of water can be heard in the distance. A large man with a sword stands waiting by the Chaos Gate. Kite spins around, surprised as an unfamiliar voice calls out to him.

Orca

Hey. You made it!


Kite

Uh…


Orca

Hey, it's me. Orca, the
Blademaster.


Kite

Whoa! You look so different
From the real Yasuhiko.
Nothing like the real you.


Orca

Hey, in this game I'm Orca!
Regardless of what I am in reality,
I'm pretty well known here.


Orca

What…?


Kite

No, you look great. :-)


Orca

Anyway, take this.


(System message)

You now have
Orca's member address!


Orca

Member Address is the Flash Mail
Address you can only access in
"The World."


Orca

With Flash Mail, you can exchange
Messages with others in real time
As long as you are in "The World."


Orca

It's mostly used by newbies to
Contact other players to form
a party.


Orca

Try it out by inviting me
to join your party.


Orca

First, press the △ button to
open the menu.


The menu opens, and Orca continues speaking.

Orca

In the menu, select Party.


Orca

Next, select Add.


Orca

Names of players who gave you
Their member addresses will be
listed here.


Orca

Choose a player you want to
Invite to your party, and send
a Flash Mail.


Orca

Since you just started, you
probably only have my
member address. :-)


Orca

Now press the PS2 Cross Button icon button twice,
to send a Flash Mail to me.


(System Message)

Calling party member.
Please standby.


Orca

…Ah, got it! "Join my party!"
It's kinda weird mailing each
other when we're face to face. :-)


Orca

See? My name appears under your
screen. That means I'm in your
party.


Orca

By the way, Flash Mail is only
available when you're in a town.


Orca

Oh, and you can't contact people
when they're not logged into
"The World."


Orca

People do have a life, you know.
We're not online 24/7!


Orca

In other words, you can't always
count on the same members to form
a party.


Orca

So, try to get as many member
addresses as you can. You'll
have more fun that way.


Orca

Well, how you play is up to you,
but since EXP and stuff isn't
divided among party members continue icon
you really don't benefit if
you go solo. :-)


Orca

OK. Well, why don't we head off?
There's nothing to worry about. I
found a perfect place for newbies!


Orca

This is the Chaos Gate, a sort
of transfer device that takes us

from one place to another. continue icon
Now, press the PS2 Cross Button icon button.


Orca

In "The World," each play zone is
called an Area, determined by a
combination of 3 keywords. continue icon
Select New Keyword.




[The party warps to the field.]

Δ Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field

Field

Title Card: Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field Upper right-hand corner: Δ Server

Kite and Orca appear in a grassland field. They are surrounded by 4 magic portals.

Orca: Before we get going, let me explain to you about the Camera Control. (next)

During the game, enemies will attack from all directions. (next)

The idea is to adjust your view quickly to see your enemy and grasp the situation. (next)

I'll explain more later, but remember, you can only use Skills on targets you can see. (next)

Basically, if you don't use the camera right, you'll be dead before you know it. (next)

The camera angle changes, jumping behind Orca and Kite.

Orca: First, rotate the camera. Push either the L1 button or the R1 button to move the camera.

[Once the player inputs L1 or R1 to rotate the camera to a certain degree] Good. Next, let's zoom in and zoom out. (next)

You can zoom the camera in or out by using the right analog stick. Try it.

[Once the player zooms in and out a few times certain degree] Yeah, that's it. (next)

Finally, you reset the camera by pushing the R2 button.

There ya go. Remember, when the battle stars, constantly adjust your camera. (next)

The camera begins circling Orca and Kite.

Okay, and this is the Field. It's the lowest level in the area. (next)

When you want to return to the town, press the △ button and select Gate Out from the menu. (next)

Grassland, wilderness, and jungle are some of the field types. You can set them with keywords. (next)

The combination of field type and weather determines the Area Elements. (next)

For example, if it's a grassland and it's raining, that area will be a Water Element stage. (next)

The elements also affect the type of monsters that will appear and the items you can get. (next)

Don't worry about it now. As you get used to it, combine words to get different elements. (next)

The camera returns to the spot behind Orca and Kite. A map appears in the upper right corner.


Now, let's get going on our quest! First, check the map at top right. (next)

You see the Red Down Arrow on it? That's the gate to the Dungeon. (next)

In the dungeon's deepest level there's a Gott Statue that usually holds a rare item. (next)

Basically the goal is to reach this statue. (next)

But enemies are often tougher down there, so gain some levels above ground before you head below. (next)

OK, wait a sec. (next) System message: Orca used Fairy's Orb!

The locations of the 4 magic portals are revealed on the map.

Orca: By using the Fairy's Orb, hidden data on the map becomes visible, like this. (next)

Yellow areas on the map show Magic Portals where you encounter monsters and treasures. (next)

All right! How about we go pick a fight? Head for one of the magic portals. (next)

Kite and Orca approach the portal located directly ahead of them. The portal activates and fades, revealing a Goblin.

Orca: For a basic attack, approach the target and press the ✕ button. (next)

By the way, a cursor appears on the target so that you can check Its name and HP. (next)

Try using a basic attack to defeat some monsters. (next)

[Kite defeats the goblin after several blows.]

You've started to get the hang of it, right? OK, let's try using Skills. (next)

Press the △ button to open the menu, and select Skills.

The menu opens, and Orca continues speaking.

OK then, choose Repth from the list.

When the target cursor appears, Select the target and press the ✕ button to execute.

Kite casts Repth.

That's it. Pretty easy huh? (next)

You can target a party member for recovery or remedy skills and the enemy for attack skills. (next)

Remember, you can only apply skills to targets within your view. (next)

Before using a skill, adjust the camera so that your target comes into view. (next)

Well, you must be sick of me at this point. :-) (next)

It's your turn to tell me what to do by using Chat Commands.

OK, I'll teach you the command to get your members to heal. (next)

OK, then press the □ button to open the menu.

The menu opens, and Orca continues speaking.

Next, go head and choose First Aid! from the menu.

[Orca casts a multiple-healing spell on the party. (La Repth?)]

Well? It's good to be the boss, isn't it? :-) (next)

If you use it well, you can bunch up on the enemy or give separate orders to each party member. (next)

When you add new members to the party, try various chat commands to see their effects. (next)

That's it for now! Just remember what you learned, and start exploring. (next)

When you think you're ready, we'll head for the dungeon! (next)

The player regains full control of Kite.

Dungeon

Upon Entering the Dungeon:

Orca: Now we can start exploring the dungeon! (next)

One thing you need to remember is that you can't Gate Out when you're in a dungeon. (next)

To Gate Out and return to the town, you have to go back to the field. (next)

The Sprite Ocarina will warp you to the surface, but you can't use it during battle. (next)

The camera cuts to a different angle, focusing on the two boxes in front of Kite. Orca continues.

This is the treasure box. But you knew that right?

-) (next)

You should know that there are two types of treasure boxes, normal and booby-trapped. (next)

This one's normal. Hit the X button to open it.

Kite receives an item from the Treasure.

System Message: You now have Resurrect!

Orca: This one's booby-trapped. Notice the different color? Try to open it as is and you're screwed. (next)

Just use the Fortune Wire on it. This item will disarm the trap. (next)

[Orca uses an item on the Risky Treasure.]

System Message: Orca used the Fortune Wire!

[The Risky Treasure becomes a regular Treasure.]

Orca: See, now it's safe to open. Press The X button to open it. (next)

[Kite receives an item from the Treasure.]

System Message: You now have Green Gale!

Entering the next room of the dungeon triggers the following cutscene: In the Dungeon Girl Chased

After the cutscene, the player regains control of Kite. At the intersection, the player may choose to go right or left. The path to the right is optional, and if the party enters the room at the end of the hallway, it is revealed to be a small room with a Treasure. The Treasure contains a Speed Charm.

Kite: (It's a dead end. That girl…) (next)

Following the path to the left leads the party to a room, which activates a brief cutscene upon entry. The camera focuses on the entryway behind Kite, revealing spiked gates lowering to obstruct the doorway.

Orca: Better watch out, we're trapped in here! (next)

In the dungeon, there are rooms with traps everywhere. (next)

The camera pans to reveal a magic portal around the corner. Orca continues.

The only way to get out a trap like this is by activating all the the magic portals in the room. (next)

All right, let's charge to that magic portal! (next)

The portal activates, revealing monsters for the party to fight. After the fight is over, the party continues down to the next floor of the dungeon. Upon entering the Gott Statue chamber:

Orca This is the room where the statue is. (next)

There's only one of 'em at the dungeon's deepest level, and you can get rare items from it. (next)

That's enough adventure for now. Let's grab the treasure and get back to town, shall we? (next)

If we had a Sprite Ocarina we could warp out of here, but we don't have one. (next)

So we gotta go back the way we just came. (next)

Treasure chest: Steel Blades, Rainbow Card, Grunt Doll

Leaving the room triggers the following cutscenes: Girl's Return Book Entrusted Enemy's Return Death of Orca Friend or Foe? Woman in White
