Editor's Note: Some people are puzzled as to why the Japanese can get away with having more than six letters. Well, the answer is pretty simple when you think about it: Japanese characters can have one or two letters contained within each to produce a sound. Tina (Terra) would be three letters in Japanese. So, the Japanese DO have a letter limit... It's just that they make better use of the space.
To use multiplayer mode, you go to the config screen and change it from single to multi, then hit A and assign to the controllers. It only works for the battles though, not the regular gameplay.
Edgar can use 8 "tools" in battle: autocrossbow, drill, bio blast, debilitator, flash, chainsaw, noise blaster and air anchor. Many of these can be bought in Edgar's castle, South Figaro.
Sabin has special control pad techniques that are issued when the "blitz" command is invoked. Select "blitz", input the code and then press A to continue.
