[ AUTHOR'S NOTE ]
---------------
I already finished my walkthrough for this game and just decided to take note
of the weapons I find along the way. I'll try to make this as comprehensive
as possible. I also included the weapons' stats during each level. If there
is a (?) on a specific field, that means I levelled up the weapon twice
during a single mission.
Again, as mentioned, in any case there's something missing or incorrect about
the faq, don't hesitate to email me. I can't promise to personally reply to
you since Im working on a night shift and I take 2 hour long rides fro and to
my home and office. I'll update the faq as needed and I'll automatically
mention your name on my next update.
Please dont email me demanding credit or to fix some minor, unimportant info
or part in this document. I allocate my free time to create this to be as
detailed and user-friendly as possible. I played the game 4 hours a day,
taking note of every weapon's stat as they progress, hoping that this would
be a complete faq as I anticipated.
--------------------------
[ ABOUT THE GAME - WEAPONS ]
--------------------------
Weapons are scattered throughout the game and can be acquired by opening
treasure chests during missions and free expeditions. They can also be
obtained during the course of the story or when a character joins your party.
You can also purchase them from shops. More will be available later in the
game. Also note that some weapons will only be available after your 1st and
2nd playthrough, it will also be mentioned here.
-----------------------------
[ ABOUT THE GAME - ACCESSORIES]
-----------------------------
Accessories are ornaments that you can equip to achieve a boost varying from
strengthening your attack, defense, magic, etc. They can be purchased from
the shops. You can only equip one accessory at a time.
-----------------------
[ ABOUT THE GAME - ITEMS]
-----------------------
Items are used to recover HP, MP or both. They are also accessed from the
Grand Wheel. (Press down after opening the wheel using R2). They can only
be purchased from the shops (after your escape from the knights)
!!NOTE: Some chests containing some weapons are not indicated on the maps,
making them missable but not permanent. You can get them again on
your next playthrough or if the area is available as a free
expedition. (Im not sure if this applies to story related weapons)
