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.

That was actually a mistake on my part when I was redoing some items, it will be fixed in the next patch to provide different stats. For now though, I'd suggest just getting the shield.
Need help I'm towards the mid end part of game I know there's a genuine glove somewhere I'm looking for it and a kotetsu to trade for murasame in coliseum so I can duel wield masamune and murasame
You could download the walkthrough (seems like RydiaMist hasn't put it up yet)
or (as far as I remember)
Those weapons are available in Aisheetown after completing/post game.
Why's Dispel being reflected by Reflect? Trying to kill Omega and with Omneguard and Reflect up (that can't be dispelled) it's virtually impossible to kill.
This was an error and will be fixed, sorry. For now, a Soul Blade Cleansing Strike should work to get rid of it. Ultima and Meteor will also pierce Reflect. Omeguard protects from the next 3 attacks, so if you are using a character who can equip it, Ridill is a good way to get rid of the status as well since it hits 3 times.

Much simpler to just use Cleansing Strike.

Btw, where can I learn Dragon Breath, Absolute Zero, Southern Cross and Twister for Doiden? Last dungeon or the bonus one? I checked the list a while ago and saw that I missed Mighty Guard.

Edit: Also, regarding the Paladin's Shield. I have to choose between that or Ultima Weapon, Omega's Mark and Conqueror's Mark? Or do I just have to show them to the guy in the VIP room along with the Cursed Shield?

I seem to have missed a Flame Band somewhere too.

And I'll probably have beaten the game by the time Reflect has been fixed.
For now, Absolute Zero and Southern Cross are in the bonus dungeon, but in the next patch they will be obtainable before that. You can get Twister from fighting Mythril Dragons on the Island Closest to Hell. Dragon Breath isn't a learnable spell, I'll need to fix the list because I think it was put there in error.

For the Paladin Shield, you just need to show them all of those items, they aren't taken away.

Ok. And sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions. Where can the Gil Band be found?
No problem! The Gil Band can be gotten as a prize for picking all the "right" answers in the event with Fievel and the Sultan. You can also find another in the final dungeon if you missed that one.

Mhm. I deliberately picked the answer that was the most rude there. Was funnier that way. Didn't know you got a prize for the right one. Had I known that, I'd have picked the right ones.

Edit: Uh...where is the bonus dungeon, anyway? Seems I can't continue playing after I've created Clear Save file.

The bonus dungeon is at Cutter's Cry near Emerald City.

Oh. And I must've missed a Flame Band somewhere.

Edit: I seem to have a slight problem. I can't get in. "Sorry, this area is off limits."

If I try to start the game with the Clear Game data, it just sends me to the end-game picture. Then nothing seems to happen.

After the Credits / The End you are asked to save. With this save you can enter the post game and so Cutter's Cry.

You can just hit enter/cancel to get past that, but I need to have some sort of auto skip after a time for it I think because a few people have gotten stuck there.

I've tried all buttons on my 360-controller. Doesn't work.

Edit: Enter worked. Have no idea why A on my gamepad didn't.
Weird, it should have worked just the same, haven't heard of anyone not being able to advance it via controller. I'll have to look into it.
How far into the bonus dungeon can I learn Southern Cross and the likes? I've "studied" just about every enemy I've come across (up until the first superboss) and none have taught Doid anything.
