Sakura Wars FAQ ver 1.0 By Eric Bickle psx0001@aol.com This Walkthrough was made in little more than a week to act as a guide through the game. At Many points in the game the different characters will ask questions and you have a limited time in which to reply. usually you will have three choices, and the choice of not answering at all. Depending on your answer you can get a good response, which will make the girl happier toward you, or a negative one. You can tell the difference easily by the good or bad jingle that follows your answer. Answering every question good also add bonuses to your girls mechs during fighting. I found that the game's strategy section was rather simple and should cause no real trouble. the most important things to take note of in the strategy part your main characters protect move and the duel attacks. Your main character, oogami, can protect one of the girls up to 8 times per fight, you will absorb their damage and take none yourself. it also gives you a point towards that girl. You can easily win with any girl by just answering anything, but making sure to always protect the same girl. Thought with this walkthrough you can cut the gametime in half. Once you have selected the girl you are going to win with (the game decides on Episode 7) you will have a dual attack with them. you must both be standing next to each other and both have maxed special meters. They look cool and do big damage. As far as I can tell you can only have one dual attack at a time, but you may start of with one girls attack and end up with another girl's latter in the game. after you beat the game a new option opens up that lets you view pictures that you bought in the game and you can play the arcade games you found and win new pictures. you can listen to game music and view the videos that you have seen. Beating the game with all six girls adds a quick special end where all the girls say stuff to you (Fortunately I don’t know enough Japanese) It helps to know the character's names so I list them here. Sakura is the first girl you meet, she is Japanese. You later meet Iris a little 10 year old English girl, Maria, an older Russian girl, Sumire a French girl who wears purple, Kanna a Spanish girl, and Ri Kohran a Chinese girl who wears glasses. The other characters are your commanders, Ikki and Ayame, as well as Tsubaki(whom you can buy pictures from during the game),Kasumi(who looks a little too much like Belldandy) and Yuri(all three are apparently sisters). Quite a bit of people to keep track of at any rate. Well enough jabber, here's the walkthough in a nutshell: if the answer is the first , second , or third response use 1,2,3 respectfully. If the correct response is not to answer, I put not, and sometimes I have found no difference between answers in which case I put any. If you get a point towards a girl I marked it as PT.In some cases the story slightly changes depending on who you are winning with. But the answers are the same. In those cases Favorite= the girl who your winning with --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode 1 Sakura-2-PT Sumire-2-PT Ikki-2 Iris-2 Sakura-3-PT Sakura+Iris Sakura-3-PT Sakura+Iris 1st customer-2 2nd customer-1-You get a letter for Sumire Little boy-ANY You run into Sakura on way to Makeup Room (she says "Guess who?")

You can view the endings of your characters in the new option by going to the balcony after you have earned their endings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Other Stuff--- Each character has a little arcade game of varying difficulty and everyone has the shooting game you get when you date them. winning each game offers you a full screen picture of that character.here's a basic description of the games... Sakura's game-You and Sakura sweep the floor of the stage running very fast.you must steer them past any obstacle till they reach the end.This Game took me about 2 hours to beat since half of the stage is random ever time. when you win you get a close up of Sakura holding broom Sumire's game- Sumire is at the opposite end of the pool. get there and beat the high score, avoid the mines and tap a,b,+c rapidly to swim faster. Also moving left and right slows you down so try to turn only when necessary. Winning gives you a full screen shot of Sumire in A bikini. Maria's Game-How well can you cook? This game has 3 parts that you are graded on, Cutting on the dotted line, Adding the correct ingredients, and heating the food. the first is self explanatory, the second is a pain...she tells you (randomly) to put1,2,or 3 parts of each ingredient in the pan, the it asks you how much for each ingredient in a different order than she told you. It helps to jot down on symbol and the corresponding # for each ingredient so you can match them up. Third keep the heat at a steady temperature for 30 seconds using right and left on the control pad. not to hot and not to cold.after you do all three she gives you a grade for each and average's them out.Good luck at getting above a 90 if you don’t know Japanese (I was Really lucky on my 20th try or so) You get a picture of Maria blushing wearing a frilly apron when you get the high score. Iris's game-Essentially a slot machine that requires mad timing. You have to get the high score by matching up the hat dress and shoes of an outfit. after you get all 3 you are judged for your fashion sense, avoid the dino and bald guy out fits and the bunny suit is the best. You get the most points by matching all three parts of a suit and if you get all three of the bad ones you still get decent points. You get a picture of Iris with flowers for winning Ri Kohran's game-A Japanese card game I have seen before but don't know the name of...You have to match cards to suits or pairs...selecting the second option in the game menu before the game will show you point values to go for when you get a winning suit you can choose to take your winnings or continue and risk for more point bonus. This one only takes a few trys to get down. you get a picture of Ri Kohran holding a few of the cards. Kanna's game-You need to know Japanese to beat this game....you must send each child to their correct parent in under one minute. there are 9 children who randomly change as well as name differences.three strikes and you are out.I have not beat this game yet and any insight on it would be appreciated. Ayame's game-Again A knowledge of Japanese is needed here. Its a trivia game based on what you know from the game...Stuff like how much did it cost to go to the festival and who's locket is this...randomly arranged and I believe you have to answer 20 questions. Haven't beat it, don't know if you get a picture...probably do though. Besides the two games above the only other mystery to me is the second page of pictures you can view at the terrace. I have bought the first six during the game, but have not found the second page of seven...my only guesses are that beating all the games gives you the picures,Or they are the pictures you see during the end of the game that you don’t see anywhere else(such as the picture of the 3 sisters in bathing suits in one ending) if anyone knows about these, I'd be very happy to know what they are and how to find them. I hear Red just announced that Sakura Wars 2 will be coming soon can't wait for that eh? Until then happy gaming.
