                                              STORY

The  world  thrived  on the  power of four particular crystals - Wind,
Earth,  Fire, and Water.  With the power of Wind, people sailed ships.
With  the  power  of  Fire,  they began the industrial movement.  With
Water,  people  quenched  their  thirst, and from Earth, they received
blessings.

One  day,  the  Tycoon  King,  upon feeling an irregularity in the air
currents,  rushed  to  the  Wind Shrine, only to find the Wind Crystal
shattering  to  pieces  right  before  his  eyes.  In addition to this
catastrophe,  an  enormous  meteor  had  fallen to the ground, causing
earthquakes in the surrounding land near Tycoon Castle.

Unbeknownst  to  them,  this  event is about to bring four people from
different walks of life together on a common journey.  There is Faris,
a  pirate  who  felt  the  impending  disaster  of  the Wind; Galuf, a
mysterious old soldier who has lost his memory due to the force of the
fallen  meteor;  Reina, a girl who has left Tycoon Castle in search of
her father; and Bartz, a wandering traveller.

Why  did  the  Crystal  shatter?   What happened to the missing Tycoon
King?  What meaning does the fallen meteor have?

The  answers  will start to unfold as this grand adventure filled with
new encounters and many mysteries begins...

                           SAVING/ENDING
                         

Saving Onto The Memory Card ----------
Insert  a  MEMORY  CARD  into the PlayStation MEMORY CARD slot 1 or 2.
The  player  will  be  able  to  save in the field or in areas such as
dungeons  where  save points exist.  Select (Save) on the Menu Screen.
If the player selects a MEMORY CARD onto which the data will be saved,
the  screen  will  switch  to  the MEMORY CARD File Screen.  From this
screen,  the player will be able to choose a MEMORY CARD slot on which
current game data can be saved.

Saving Onto the Memo File --------------
A Memo File save is not the same as a MEMORY CARD save.  The Memo File
system will  leave  one  temporary  record in the PlayStations memory.
Once the power is turned OFF or the RESET button is pressed, the saved
Memo  File  will  be  deleted.   Data  that  the player wishes to save
permanently  should  be stored on the MEMORY CARD.  In order to record
to  the  Memo File, the player must select (Save) from the Menu Screen
and  then select (Memo).  Once (Memo) has been selected, press the (X)
button to save.

Soft Reset ----------
To  restart  a  game  from  a  saved  Memo  File, execute a soft reset
(simultaneously  pressing  the  R1,  R2, L1, L2, START, and the SELECT
buttons).   The  player  will be taken back to the opening movie after
which  they  will  be  able  to  access the Loading Screen.  Selecting
(Memo)  from this screen will allow the player to resume the game from
their saved Memo File.

Game Over ---------
The  game  is  considered  over  if  any of the following instances or
combination of instances occur to the whole party:

- Party members HP reaches zero.
- Party members become Petrified.
- Party members turn into Zombies.

Once  a  game  is over, it is possible to continue from the last saved
point.   During  battle,  instead  of  constantly attacking, the payer
should utilize Recovery  Magic and other items in order to prevent the
decrease  of HP to a critical level.  Be aware of other characters' HP
level  at  all  times.  If a character is poisoned, becomes petrified,
turns  into  a  Zombie,  or  gets  paralysed,  it  is crucial that the
character is quickly healed before their HP reaches zero.

                          THE MENU SCREEN
                          
The  Menu  Screen can be accessed at any time except during battles or
events by pressing the (T) button.  Commands such as viewing character
status,  changing  jobs  and switching equipment are all executed from
this screen.

Character Data --------------
1. Name - Displays the character's name.
2. Level - Displays the character's current level.
3. Job - Displays the character's current Job name and/or status  (see
         Status Abnormalities on page 16).
4. Job Level - Displays  the  character's  current Job Level, acquired
               Ability  Points,  and Ability Points necessary to reach
               the next level.
5. HP (Hit Point) - Displays the character's Current/Maximum HP value.
6. MP (Magic Point) - Displays  the  character's   Current/Maximum  MP
                      Value.

Formation Changes  ---------
In  addition  to  the  order  in which characters are displayed during
battle,  characters  can  be  assigned to the Front or Back Row of the
formation.   Characters  in  the  Front row can do more damage and hit
enemies easier, though they are also more vulnerable to enemy attacks.
Characters  in  the Back Row have a more difficult time attacking, but
are  better  shielded  from  direct  attacks  by  the enemy.  A  basic
strategy  is to place warriors in the Front Row while magic users cast
spells  from  the Back Row.  To change formation, first go to the Menu
Screen.   When  the  directional  button  is  pressed to the LEFT, the
(Order)  command  will appear.  to change a character's position, move
the  cursor  to  the character to be changed, and press the (X) button
twice.   To  switch  the  positions of two characters, the player must
move  the cursor to one character, press the (X) button, then move the
cursor  to  the  other  character  and  press  the (X) button again to
complete  the  switch.   (The character located at the top of the Menu
Screen will represent the character/party when in the field).

player  is not accustomed to the game controls, Battle Mode can be set
to  (Wait)  (see  battle  on page 14) and Battle Speed can be set to a
slower  speed to give the player more time to become familiar with the
