Final Fantasy Legacy FAQ

     Welcome to Final Fantasy Legacy. Before you get started, we would like to go over some of the rules for this game.

The rules are:

     1.No Spamming
     2.No Excessive Swearing
     3.No Excessive Insults
     4.No Blocking
     5.No Asking to be a GM
     6.No Asking for anything unreasonable from a GM


1. How to Play

  A. Starting point

     You start the game in the Town of Baron with 2500 GP(money) but without any equipment and items. It is highly recommended for anyone who is just starting out to visit the Weapons and Armor Shop in Baron before heading out to do battle (since you lose 1/2 of your GP when you die).

  B. Controls

    1) How to buy/sell/rest

     Whenever you are in an Item Shop, Weapons and Armor Shop, or an Inn, stand directly in front of the Merchant/Inn Keeper and press 5 on the numpad (always use the numpad and turn numlock off). This will bring up the Buy/Sell Menu (or the Yes/No Menu if you are at an Inn). Anyway, once in any of these Menus, pressing the arrow keys will move the cursor, pressing 5 on the numpad will select/confirm an option/choice, and pressing 7 will cancel/exit. Also, pressing 5 in front of an in-game character allows you to "listen" to what they have to say.

    2) How to use the Game Menu

     Pressing 9 on the numpad (numlock off) will activate the Game Menu where you can check your stats, browse/use Items, and equip/reequip Weapons and Armor. Once again, pressing the arrow keys will move the cursor, pressing 5 will select/confirm an option/choice, and pressing 7 will cancel/exit. Eventually, Players will save their game by selecting the Save Option and pressing 5 (doing this will save you at your current location), but for now, the game automatically saves whenever you log out.

    3a) How to Battle

     The Battle System used in Final Fantasy Legacy is Active Time Battle (ATB). Once in battle, Party Members and Monsters will take turns battling (based upon their individual speed) until one of the two Parties is defeated (or you run). When it is your turn, a cursor will appear on your battle menu. Pressing up/down will move the cursor up/down the Menu, pressing left will enable you to run, pressing right will enable you to parry, and pressing 5 on the numpad (numlock off) will confirm your selection. Once you have selected your command, you can move the cursor to select the Enemy/Player whom you wish to Attack/Cast Spells upon. Continuosly pressing the left arrow key will allow you to select All Monsters and continuously pressing the right arrow key will allow you to select all Party Members (this won't work with all spells). Pressing 5 again will confirm your choice, and your character will execute the selected Command. At the end of the battle, each Player still standing will recieve Experience/GP.

    3b) The Experience/GP System

     Since Final Fantasy Legacy is designed to support Parties, a new system has been developed to encourage Players to form Parties. This new system works as follows:

     1 Person Party: recieves 100% of the Exp./GP.
     2 Person Party: recieves 120% of the Exp./GP divided by 2
     3 Person Party: recieves 130% of the Exp./GP divided by 3
     4 Person Party: recieves 140% of the Exp./GP divided by 4
     5 Person Party: recieves 150% of the Exp./GP divided by 5

Note: If your HP reaches zero, you will not recieve any Exp/GP at the end of the battle. If your entire party is wiped out, you will restart outside of Baron and you will lose 1/2 of your GP.

    4) Bank

     The Bank (Fat Chocobo) is in the Chocobo Forest located to the SouthWest of Baron in the small round patch of trees. Pressing 5 on the numpad (numlock off), while standing in front of Fat Chocobo, will bring up the Bank Menu where you can give/take (store/withdraw) your Items and GP. Press 5 to select/confirm, and press 7 to cancel/exit. Keeping your GP in the Bank is especially useful since you won't lose it when you die.
