In this section you will find help on playing the game in general, and advice
common to all stages of the adventure.

{3.01} ADVICE FOR EXPLORING
<<<=========================================================================>>>
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
EXPLORING AS EDGE
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
TRY TO EXAMINE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS
=============================================
The big difference between exploring as Edge and exploring on the dragon is
that Edge doesn't have a convenient radar telling him where all the items,
switches and doors are. Also, there are far more things that Edge can examine
in his areas, though most of them are just for added detail. I have listed the
locations of anything and everything that is useful in this FAQ, but if you
just want to explore for yourself, be sure to examine anything that looks
suspicious.
SETTLEMENTS "CHANGE" AFTER YOU COMPLETE CERTAIN TASKS
=====================================================
Not entirely obvious is the fact that, as you progress through the game, the
world around you is moving through time, and the characters in various
settlements are living out their own stories which you can miss entirely if you
don't revisit places regularly. A general rule is that most settlements
"change" (as in, the people in them start saying and doing different things)
when you return from defeating the boss of a main area. It is up to you how
important all these little sub-plots and things are, though, as they are the
only things not religiously covered in the walkthrough. If you're the kind of
player who walks around every town talking to everyone just to absorb as much
plot as possible, though, this might be of interest.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
EXPLORING ON THE DRAGON
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
KEEP AN EYE ON THE FLIGHT RADAR
===============================
While exploring on the dragon, always keep an eye on your radar for Access,
Break, Caution and Enter targets. Many of them are almost invisible to the
naked eye, and without the radar you would fly right past them. It you simply
explore every square of the Field Map while picking up all the items that
appear on your radar, you should find everything in every area by default!
USE THE FIELD MAP OFTEN
=======================
As the flight areas are often huge and are usually quite daunting, you should
keep in mind that Y brings up the Field Map of the current area. This is
especially useful if you are going for a 100% Field Map Coverage Rate (see
Section 4.27), as it will allow you to easily keep track of what you've
covered.
<<<=========================================================================>>>
{3.02} ADVICE FOR BATTLES
<<<=========================================================================>>>
Though you do not actually get a reward for achieving an "Excellent" grade
against each kind of enemy, it is one of the few things the game records: many
players will want to get an Excellent against each enemy because of this, if
just for the sake of completeness. Also, getting Excellents logically means
that you are playing well, and so this section, dedicated to improving your
battling skills, deserves a place in the FAQ. Likewise, all battle tactics in
the main body of the walkthrough aim to explain not just how to win a battle,
but how to get an Excellent for that battle.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
SEQUENCES OF BATTLES
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
At some points in the game, you will be forced to fight different groups of
enemies one after the other, with no real pause in between. At the end of the
sequence of battles, you will only receive one grade, (Excellent, Great Fight,
etc.) based on your overall performance in all the battles in the sequence.
Your "Data on Defeated Enemies" list will record this same grade for each enemy
that appeared in the sequence.
For example, assume that you do very well in the first battle of a sequence,
and that this battle contains two enemies you have never encountered before.
