The story of saints, which fought to protect the world from evil by using cloths, based mostly on constellations and mythological characters. The game is in turn-based RPG style, therefore the player make choices on what to do on combat during his turn as he wishes and the universe around is very interactive. The game is still not complete so some bugs are still present however; the programmers on a regular basis gradually solve those. V1.1: It is with great excitement that I return to update the game guide to catch up with the new demo released just a few hours ago. I don’t think I have any new introduction to make other than simply stating that the game is (trying to) combining both manga and anime versions of the story (including the OVAs, which are one of the biggest points of criticism about the series conversion to anime). Instructions: The game is very simple: Move and Change Options using the four directional buttons; Enter or Space to Accept; Esc to cancel, to open the main menu or to return one menu back Basics: 1. Events Events are happenings that may occur during a battle. It may give status to one character or it may win the battle to the player, or even give you an item after such. They are activated when the player creates certain circumstances or some choices are made. Once circumstances are correct, the event should occur by the use of the Talk action on the battle screen. 2. Battle Styles: Battle Styles are different ways of combating an opponent in the game. Before a fight, you have to choose a combatant and its Combat Style. There are in total 4 different Battle Styles in the game. Each influences differently your character. Different characters have a different range of Combat Styles. - The Aggressive Style gives your character a boost in attack but a big lack in defence. Should usually be used for quick fights where there is no reason to stop attacking, since any enemy attack will cause great damage. The Aggressive Style gives you the options to Burn or to Gather your Cosmo, giving you more attack power or increasing your speed so that you can avoid enemy attacks. It gives you the ability to fight using Heavy Attack, or using Special Attacks up to level 3. - The Inner Style focuses more on your inner power. It has no influence on attack nor defence but it boosts your Cosmo. Thus, it allows you to Expand or to Flare your Cosmo. Those increase you Cosmo by adding more to it or by doubling it. However due to Inner being a more neutral Style, it gives you the choices to Attack, Defend or use up to level 2 Special Attacks. - The Balanced Style has influences on both Attack and Defence, however your special attacks have a certain lack of power. It allows your character to use Improved Attack, which boosts the agility, allowing to hit almost anyone, Defend which doubles your defence, therefore blocking attacks, using a level 1 Special Attack or a Combined Attack, which is as strong as a level 3 Special Attack, therefore spending SP. In Cosmo, you will be able to Expand only. - The Defensive Style increases your defence greatly, reducing your attack. This time, you may use Cosmo Expand and Fortress, an ability that increases even more your defence. You have no attacks; however, you will have the use of Improved Defence, which DOES boost your defence. You may also use Bless, which allows your character to use Athena Bless, Cosmo Bless or Blood Bless. Those restore your energy, Cosmo and cloth respectively. Your only Attacks are a level 1 Special and a Summon Attack, which uses the power of: either Jabu, Steel Saints, Minor Bronze Saints or Crystal Master to attack the enemy. These need cards to be equipped to the character, which not only will be used for this attack, but will also boost some status of the saint. They use some SP. 3.

Saving: This game has a particular difference from other RPGs which is the lack of saving. Instead of what many may think, this is a good thing in this game since the save option will be informed by the character at a point where some important event will happen (ie. The player will need to make a choice) and is always available with a “shop” character, Kiki, for instance. 5. Cards: Cards, need no introduction for they are part of most RPG games nowadays. In this particular one, they are divided into 4 types: Usable recovery/boost cards; Quest item cards; Character Cards; and Equipable items. Here is a list of those cards known to me so far: Usable recovery/boost cards: Athena Bless; Cosmo Bless; Blood Bless; EXP ATT Card Liv 1; (increases att by 1) EXP DEF Card Liv 1; (increases def by 1) EXP AGILITY Card; (increases agl by 10) EXP HP Liv 1; (increases hp by 5) EXP SP Liv 1 (increases sp by 2) Item Quest Cards: Pieces of gold cloth; Cloth Boxes; Etc.

Walkthrough: Chapter 1: A New Era of Legend • Seiya’s Path You begin the game with a short sequence from the manga, which end up presenting a young Seiya training with Marin. When asked, choose any option, if you want an introduction on the Cosmo choose the second option. On the next scene just pay attention to what she says and follow her instructions when asked to. You will have two battles with her. Choose the correct Fight Styles and everything will go normally. After those, she will ask Seiya to break a stone. At first Seiya wont be able to do so, so Marin explains him how to concentrate in the point he’ll hit. You have to choice to either say “Uhum…” or “…” – choose any, I saw no difference when choosing one or another but a couple of lines which don’t make any difference on the game (unless theres a big secret about it) .
