Hidden Characters(thanks for the writeups, Noel!)
  • Azran, the Dragoon

    • When in Ashieeton Lv. 2 (there's Azran's workshop on a cliff) when talking to Azran choose an option regarding his recruitment to the party.
    • Since he cannot leave town unattended for it to develop properly, he tasks you with finding a replacement for him and advises to ask around bars.
    • The replacement is Eden whom I happened to find at the pub in Aquaria, although it may be in a different city because it might be random where she'll appear.
    • When back at Azran's workshop in Ashieeton, Eden says she'll replace him after you give her something. That something she needs is an "Iron Celata Visor" which can be stolen from enemies in Patch Tower, and the Waterway/Manor Basement in Cecille. Presenting ICV to Eden will award you with Azran as a party member.

  • Kaayu, the Dancer

    • First you need to acquire an airship.
    • From there head to Enaya and talk to Elia in the doctor's house and she'll tell you that to heal Kaayu she needs water from Frozen Whisper Forest.
    • In the airship, fly to a valley north of Garuda's Peak where there's a larger forest to the west, smaller forest to the right and a snow plain between them. Land on the snow plain and head to the larger forest. Enemies here shouldn't prove too much problem, a party of around level 30+ (which you should have at that point of the story) will be enough. There are no boss fights here, if you're wondering. When in forest simply head north and approach a spring, press the Action button, and head back to Enaya.
    • In Enaya talk to Elia inside the doctor's house and she will prepare a potion which will heal Kaayu's condition.
    • As an addded bonus we are treated with some background regarding Kaayu's mysterious disappearance at the bridge to Palomton.

  • Divinus, the Time Mage

    • After acquiring airship head to southeastern continent and land near a lone house which is located in an eastern valley. Enter the house on the world map and you'll arrive at the Hunter's Lodge. Inside the building, head to the room on the left side of the map with a silver-haired man in it and accept the NM quest.
    • Now head to the Western Forest, the first dungeon of the game, and south to the save point in the southern map of the dungeon there'll be a star. Stepping on it will initiate the battle against the spider. Defeat it and head back to Hunter's Lodge.
    • Talk with Argus to finalize your joining to the hunter club and go upstairs.
    • In the right-most room there will be a girl with black and white hair. Talking with her will result in her joining the party.
    • Divinus can Mix items to have a variety of effects and can use Magic to toy with time a bit in a battle.

  • Flame, the Mime

    •After returning from the past, head to Cutter's Cry. Speak to the blue-robed woman with Level 99 in the lead of the party. In a strange scene, she will randomly join you.
    •Flame functions like Gogo from Final Fantasy VI. In the Skills menu, you can equip her with three commands of your choosing. Mime is always equipped. Note that not all commands are available. Flame knows whatever skills your party members do, with some exceptions for powerful skills. To make up for her versatility, Flame has low stats and cannot use Magicites.

Normally you don't need access to Google Drive to download the game.
It is like dropbox.
You only need access if you want to download it to the same cloud.
Just download it on your harddrive.


Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, but there is no way to download it directly to my harddrive. When I click the "download" button, it brings me to a Google sign in page, then to a web page that asks me to request an access permission to download the game. That's where I am stuck.

Blue Magic is just Yanfly's Blue magic script, I modified it a bit but mostly just to work better with my battle system. The Bushido abilities are really just spells with no MP cost and long charge times. You should be able to do that in any atb system that supports cast times.
Do you mind if I ask hiw you did the blue magic and Cyans bushido abilities? I plan on having characters in my project who do something similar. You can PM me if you like. Thanks. :)

I am looking forward to this next game. Where is the next step after Goldbug vanishes in Port Enaya for the phoenix sidequest. I accidently hit the key and missed what was spoken. After returning from the past, visit Goldbug in Port Enaya and complete the quest. Thanks.

Also, I submitted a few bugs I have noticed in the bug forum.


Head to Jipang for the next part of the quest~

And thanks, I saw them! I'll see what I can do, I have a bunch of cumulative fixes I have done that I just have to commit. Unfortunately the Wide Volley bug is some weird bug with the battle system that I have been unable to resolve. I really don't know what it is doing, in order to fix it I'd have to just have the skill hit once and do higher damage I think.

RydiaMist do you and the other developers plan on making another game? Unless I am mistaken this is your first and only? Also, how can I find out what version I have? I think I have an earlier version but I am unsure. Always appreciate the help and really great game.

Ashiee and I working on another FF fangame, yes! Progress has been a bit slow recently, but we do have most of the sprites done and have a fully functional Job system. I don't want to say too much, but it is basically a duplicate of the system found in FF Dimensions/Bravely Default which is of course just an expanded version of FF5's. Jobs gain their own levels(independent of character level), you learn abilities and commands which can then be mixed and matched on other jobs, and so on. We're hoping it'll be something people enjoy since the job system has always been very popular. =)

If you're unsure of what version you have you can always just get the latest and update your game. There's no real way to easily tell, sadly. ;;

I wanted to add this to a list of bugs. In the Hallway of Doom I have saved between two boulders the northern one is in the black space stopped and the south really fast one is spending most of the time in the black space and a little into the area I can actually walk in. I went and stepped on a spike and took me almost back to the beginning the first boulder is stopped far left hand of the screen and the same as the third. The second boulder goes into the right black area and a little into my area I can walk in.

Really great game. I haven't found the missing blue magic yet almost completed the list of what I could though.


Hmm, I will probably just disable saving in there, it was an oversight that it isn't. All that stuff is event based so I see why that would just break it completely.

I always appreciate your very quick responses with the loss of Patch Tower is there another place for gargoyles, chimeras or their blue magic Saline Coat and Blank Gaze? Thanks.


No problem, we try to respond as fast as we can! I am almost certain those spells are obtainable elsewhere but I couldn't tell you offhand exactly where. If you are unable to find them I'll have a look through the enemies and see.

Question, how does one get the Excalibur II? Is it related to game time, like in FF9? I'm guessing get to Gilgamesh within a time limit?


Nah, no time limit involved, you just need to have the regular Excalibur and bet it in the arena. Excalibur II is good but not quite as overpowered as in FF9, haha.
