These are some of the most common questions that people ask me, so in order
to save time I will put them here. In other words, please stop mailing me

3 Where and what is Shift?
4 How do I evolve dragons?
5 How do I get to Cray's mom on the Golden Plains?
6 Where is the Sea Dragon?
7 Where is the Abandoned Village?

Q How come some of my characters will do stuff even if I didn't tell them to?
A Nina, Cray, Ershin, and Scias all have a "Proper Will" as the manual calls
it. This will allow them to perform certain abilities during the main
fighting round. They will not happen all the time, but each has its own
trigger. The instruction manual says Ursula has Covering Fire, but that
is only a typo(unless I'm missing something).
Nina - Cheering: When someone in the front row goes critical, she will
sometimes cast a healing spell that heals for half of
Vitalize, but only if she is in the back row.
Cray - Guard: If a character in the front row is critical, he may take
the damage for them if they get targeted by an attack.
It will not work if the attack is a vs. all, and he
may still block if he is critical himself, even if it
kills him. It only works if he is in the front row.
Scias - Rakhasa: When Scias goes critical(his HP turns yellow), this
may happen. What it does is make his next attack a
critical attack, like when he uses Shining Blad
