I.  INTRODUCTION
Welcome to my first FAQ!
This is an FAQ for the US (NTSC) version of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.
I haven’t played the Japanese or PAL versions of the game, so I cannot say
whether the information contained herein applies to those versions.
If you are an RPG-perfectionist like I am, then this is the guide for you. My
goal in writing this was to provide a guide to obtaining every term possible
for the Dictionary featured within Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. To my
surprise, I discovered after several play-throughs that there were many
Dictionary terms that could be missed, and this made me wonder just how many
of these missable terms there were. To ensure that I did as complete a job as
possible in determining this, I went through the game speaking to every PC
and NPC possible before and after every plot event and documented every use
of every term in the game. The result was an 88-page document that was
largely unintelligible. So I decided to extract the useful information from
that document and make this FAQ. This whole process turned out to be a lot
more work than I originally had anticipated, but based on this method I
believe the information below to be nearly complete.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II.  DICTIONARY OVERVIEW
I would first like to define what I mean by “mandatory,” “non-mandatory,” and
“permanently missable” Dictionary terms. Mandatory terms are those that are
given to you automatically as you progress through the game. To determine
which terms were mandatory, I played the game engaging in the least amount of
NPC dialog possible. All terms I had obtained by the end of the game,
including any terms embedded within those terms, I deemed “mandatory.” For
the purposes of this guide, mandatory terms do not include any post-game
areas. All remaining terms, including post-game terms, I deemed
“non-mandatory.” Permanently missable terms are a subset of non-mandatory
terms. These terms are those that cannot be obtained if you haven’t gotten
them before you reach the end of the game (i.e., you have gotten all the way
to Luther but have not yet defeated him). Permanently missable terms only can
be obtained during specific time windows, and once you miss your opportunity,
you can’t get them ever again.
There are 475 total Dictionary terms:
116 Political Bodies/Places, 112 of which are mandatory, 4 of which are
non-mandatory, and 1 of those non-mandatory terms is PERMANENTLY missable.
140 People, 74 of which are mandatory, 66 of which are non-mandatory, and 7
of those non-mandatory terms are PERMANENTLY missable.
51 Races, 40 of which are mandatory, and 11 of which are non-mandatory.
168 Miscellaneous, 144 of which are mandatory, 24 of which are non-mandatory,
and 9 of those non-mandatory terms is PERMANENTLY missable.
In short, 370/475 terms are mandatory, 105/475 are non-mandatory, and of
those non-mandatory terms, 17 are PERMANENTLY missable.
Below are all of the terms you can obtain for the Dictionary. They’re broken
down by category (Political Bodies/Places, People, Races, Miscellaneous).
Each of those categories is divided further into mandatory, non-mandatory
but not permanently missable, and non-mandatory and PERMANENTLY missable
terms.

III.  NON-MANDATORY TERM LOCATIONS
Below I describe where to get all of the non-mandatory terms, broken down by
Dictionary section.
I am not including Roger S. Huxley or the terms embedded with this term
(Dribe, Lezard, Lucien, Melt, Vellion, and Menodix) for reasons described in
the previous section. In addition, I am not including Inventors or terms
related to the Craftsman’s Guild (Guild Master, Welch Vineyard, and
Craftsman's Guild), with the exception of Izak, because you can get them at
any time and can refer to another FAQ for help on Inventor recruitment.
Lastly, I am not including terms from post-game areas (Maze of Tribulations,
Urssa Cave Temple, Santa, and Santa, Mercantilean) or the Aquatic Gardens of
Surferio, because these terms are obtained simply by entering and/or
completing such areas.
The Private Action (PA) numbers refer to EChang’s Private Action FAQ on
www.gamefaqs.com.
Starred entries (*) are PERMANENTLY missable.

IV.  PERFECT DICTIONARY WALKTHROUGH
This section describes how to get all of the non-mandatory Dictionary terms
in chronological order as you play through the game. This is not meant to
show you every opportunity to get each term, because that is covered in the
section above this one. Instead, I list the way in which I think it is
easiest to get each term. I also have left out PAs wherever possible so that
you don’t screw up any endings you are trying to see.
Again, for reasons already discussed in section III, I am not explicitly
covering Inventors (except Izak) or post-game areas, all of which have an
associated Dictionary term but are not permanently missable.
To complete the Dictionary, make sure you follow the directions below. In
addition, you’ll also have to recruit all of the Inventors, read Boyd’s
Dictionary term, and explore all post-game areas and the Aquatic Gardens of
Surferio.
Starred entries (*) are PERMANENTLY missable.
