| This Guide is now completed! That is, the Walkthrough is finished. I still |

complete anyway. My next updates |
| will likely fix any mistakes I've made, and fill in the dating section
|
| further. Also, I may split this into 2 separate FAQ's, the Walkthrough and |
| the Dating FAQ.

getting emails from |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tradguld, the land of locomotives and peaceful countryside...
Langoud, the seafaring beach-city...
Sharan, the floating center of commerce...
Myscatonia, the land of mystery and wonder....
And Dianova, the dark empire bent on taking over the world.... a world of swords
and magic... This is the story
of Meis Triumph and his journey to save the
people from the Dianovan Empire's reign of terror
and oppression. Having been
raised within a circle of Spirit Blacksmiths, Meis was enjoying his life in
Kant, a nature-filled town in Tradguld...
However...
Dianova's conquest reached the town of Kant, and the people were forced to
evacuate
their once peaceful land.
Separated from his family, Meis reaches the town of Boyzby and meets Sodina.
From here, the story
unfolds...
-- from the Thousand Arms Manual
Thousand Arms is an RPG created by Atlus for the Sony PlayStation, and is a
rather unique
one at that. With a very strong Anime styling, Thousand Arms is
a visually impressive game, with wonderful
pre-rendered backgrounds, and
colorful detailed Anime Sprites for your characters.
But perhaps the most unique thing of all is the Dating System which is an
integral
part of the game. You have to date to increase your overall power in
the game, to find new spells, and to
gain new power-ups.
In addition to that, Thousand Arms makes extensive use of both Anime Cutscenes
(which are cleverly well done
for not being FMV's) and its quite extensive use
of Voice Acting (12 hours worth!).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii. Characters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meis Triumph (Main Character)
Age: 16
Hometown: Kant, a town in the countryside of Tradguld
Personality: Meis is the horniest male character I've ever seen in any RPG
ever. He flirts with every girl he comes across, and I really
mean every girl!
Sodina Dawnfried
Age: 15
Hometown: Boyzby, a town to the south of Kant
Personality: Sodina really likes Meis, but has a strange way of showing it,
by being mean and jealous.
You meet Sodina when you first arrive in Boyzby as she is being attacked by
bandits, Meis
bravely rushes to defend her. Sodina is loyal, and for some
reason, likes Meis a lot.
Muza Grifford
Age: 21
Hometown: Schutzren, home of fearless warriors
Personality: The complete opposite of Meis, Muza is shy towards the ladies.
Muza dreams of becoming a hero, but is painfully shy around
any females.
Muza joins up with you just after the Lucent Cave.
Wyna Grapple
Age: 17
Hometown: Langoud, the pirate's floating city
Personality: Strong and outgoing, Wyna is the opposite of Sodina. She wants
to live life how she sees fit, not how her father sees fit.
Wyna will join up with you in Langoud.
Soushi Mahoroba
Age: 18
Hometown: Wano, the destroyed land of the Orient
Personality: Although just as randy a man as Meis, Soushi manages to come off
a little more sincere. Possibly because he looks so feminine.
Soushi will join up with you after you break him free of the Dark Sword in
Wano.
Kyleen Nelphe
Age: 16
Hometown: Sharan, the floating city
Personality: Although she is bitter, cold, and untrusting when she first
meets up with Meis, she warms up (a little) after a bit of time.
Her family used to rule Sharan until they were ousted and
killed. She lived in the undercity after that, which may
explain her curt attitude.
Kyleen will join up with you in Sharan.
Nelsha Stylus
Age: Appears to be 12 (is really MUCH older!)
Hometown: Myscatonia, the Ancient City
Personality: Timid and strange (tends to talk about herself in the Third
Person), Nelsha wants to become the Dress Master. When she
changes her clothes, she literally becomes someone different.
Nelsha joins you when you finish the Ghost Town of Zozotto.

* - The Hard Armor has a hidden Drawback, it doubles the damage received by

actually
loses 40 HP. Nasty. However, if your defense is high enough,

the enemy you are fighting isn't as powerful as your high defense,
it
will do 0 dmg.
