ROGUE GALAXY (NTSC/J) FOR PS2 QUICK AND EASY WALKTHROUGH/FAQ Created on December 10, 2005 by Edwin "Shinji" Chow compassionhasit@aol.com Version 1.0 - The Beginning Version 2.0 - (15-12-05) Completed the Walkthrough ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1 - INTRODUCTION 2 - BEFORE WE START 3 - WALKTHROUGH 4 - ENDING NOTE 5 - CREDITS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - INTRODUCTION This walkthrough/FAQ is catered to those who just want to complete the game in the fastest way possible. All sidequests have been left out unless they are really needed to be fulfilled. I'll assume that readers have some knowledge more or less regarding how to play Japanese RPGs and can read Japanese text. IMPORTANT NOTE: This FAQ do contain some story spoilers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 - BEFORE WE START The objective of each chapter is simple - just head towards the star that is located on the map. An event will most likely occur after that. You can enlarge the map by pressing the SELECT button and then scroll using the direction buttons. This makes navigating a lot easier. Also, the save points in the game are actually transporters and can make travelling a lot easier. The areas that you have to explore before reaching the star on the map will most probably be huge, although they are pretty straightforward at the same time. Thus it's best to be both mentally and physically prepared before the start of every chapter. One last note - EXPLORING is the key to this game and will help uncover passages and pathways that will lead you to the star on the map. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 - WALKTHROUGH CHAPTER 1 - Going on a journey ------------------------------ Planet Roza ------------ - You'll start of in the desert planet called Roza.
