Explanations

Stats

All characters have a stat spread sheet that shows stats for Pw, Sp, Hits, H.P. nad Exp..

Pw (Power)

Pw is based off how much damage one deals in combat, the higher the Pw stat, the higher damage dealt to an enemy.

Sp (Speed?)

Sp is based off how likely one is to avoid an attack. The higher the Sp stat, the more likely one is to avoid attacks.

Hits

Hits are percentage based off of how likely one is to land a hit with their attacks, the higher the percentage, the more likely they are to land hits.

H.P. (Hit Points)

H.P. is how much health one has.

Exp. (Experience)

How much experience one gains in combat. Exp. is gained based off each time one deals damage in combat. Every 50 Exp. gained will grant a boost to stats such as Sp and Hits.

Trivia

• Party members function very differently from other JRPGs:
  • They do not have distinct abilities or personalities. They only have different starting base stats.
  • If a party member dies, it is permanent. There is no way to revive them and they will be gone for the rest of the game.
  • They are all technically temporary party members as they do not show up for the final boss fight, instead disappearing after Gombe marries the Princess.
• If any party member's experience is higher then Gombe by the point that the King offers the Princesses hand in marriage, they will instead marry the princess which will result in a game over.
