Though they probably won't believe I'm writing FAQs like this one I would like to greet them just in case they stumble onto this little doc. Greetings to Alvin Austria, Wresjon Madronio, Ryan De la Paz, Donie Tuyor, Jay-ar Seculles, Darwin Cannonicato, Melvin Punzalan, Noriel Punzalan, Michael Marquez, and Michael Fontanilla. Oh, and sorry guys, my mind is not in it's best form when I wrote this walkthrough. I have lost motivation, and I think this FAQ of mine is one of the more "no good" ones. And there is still a lot of room for improvement. Hopefully, when I pick up some motivation, I may encourage myself to make this FAQ a better one to read... But don't let the above statements dicourage you for reading my FAQ! :P "Racers, ready your horses!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS _____________________________________________________________________ Section I --- LEGAL Section II --- CONTACT INFORMATION Section III --- VERSION HISTORY Section IV --- TUTORIALS Controls Screens Game Mechanics Section V --- CHARACTERS Section VI --- WALKTHROUGH Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Endings Section VII --- CONTRIBUTORS & CLOSING --------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________ Section I: LEGAL _____________________________________________________________________ This FAQ/Walkthrough is copyright 2003-Present by Genome X.

I went through the whole game and finished all the sections, I am not expecting another revision/ release. I hope you guys like my FAQ! Version 1.2 (FINAL) - I worked on this version for 1 day only, April 18, 2003. Removed a section that deals about my FAQs. It's pretty useless anyway. Added the "characters" section, to compensate for the loss. I also fixed some spelling and grammar mistakes, and made some revisions to the walkthrough. This is the FINAL version, no more releases. Version 1.3 (FINAL) - After a long while, I suddenly realized how bad and messy this FAQ/Walkthrough looked... I needed to make an update to improve my work. fixed the formatting, removed some pretty useless sections, changed the LEGAL and CONTACT INFORMATION sections for the better, Fixed the TABLE OF CONTENTS, fixed the WALKTHROUGH and TUTORIALS sections a bit. I think the FAQ has changed for the better. Version 1.4 (FINAL) - I needed to make an update. I remove the GAME INFO section and put the Haruka Ending in the Endings part of the walkthrough. I replaced the ugly ASCII art with a new, much cleaner looking one. That's about all, really. Version 1.5 (FINAL) - Aaaargh! I was forced to make an update again! Sorry, CJayC... Anyway, this time, I deleted a duplicate part of the walkthrough which tells how to get the Haruka ending. I fixed some typos, done some small things here, there, here, there. I know there's more room for improvement, but I lost my motivation recently. Maybe I'll make an update again when I have the motivation... --------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________ Section IV: TUTORIALS _____________________________________________________________________ IF you are new to Love Hina then read the tutorial below. ======== Controls ======== Up Button - Lets you scroll up for options. Moves your character up in the regular screen. Down Button - Lets you scroll down when choosing options and moves your character down in the regular screen. ---> Button - Moves your character right in the regular screen. <--- Button - Moves your character left in the regular screen. /---\ I A I Button - Confirms that you chose a certain option, Talks to a \---/ a character in the regular screen. /---\ I B I Button - NO USE \---/ /-------\ I START I - Let's you see the girls' affection ratings. \-------/ /--------\ I SELECT I - NO USE \--------/ /----------\ I L Button I - NO USE \----------/ /----------\ I R Button I - NO USE \----------/ ======= Screens ======= -=-=-=REGULAR SCREEN=-=-=- Now, you don't see the regular screen that often. This screen is where your character can move around and interact to the other characters. The regular screen is free of menus, as the menus only appear on the sub-screen. (more on that later) -=-=-=SUB-SCREEN=-=-=- The sub-screen is where most of the action happens. If you are talking to any character, You are in the sub-screen. Most of the story is seen here too. Under certain situations, The menus or options appear in the subscreen. (more on that later) ============== Game Mechanics ============== -=-=-=OPTIONS/MENUS=-=-=- All of these appear in the sub-screen. On certain cases, you will be asked to choose from some options. These represent your character's actions, some better than others. These options influence the storyline a great deal. Choose a good option, and a girl's affection rate might go up, Your HP might recover, your MAX HP may increase, and you may get good results. Choose a bad option, and a girl's affection rate might go down, You might get get hurt and lose some HP, your max HP may go down, and the game may end sooner than you think. So think twice when making desicions, BUT!! always remeber that everytime you are asked to choose an option, a timer is activated. The timer's speed differs. In one part of the game, The timer only lasts for 2-3 Seconds! If the time goes up before you have chosen an option then the last option (phrase of that option) that is highlighted will be considered as the one that you choose, wether you like it or not. -=-=-=HP=-=-=- At the beginning of the game, You will notice several golden orbs at the lower right side of the screen. An orb represents one Hit point. If you get hurt by any means, One or more of the orbs may turn to black, indicating that you lost some HP. If you lose all your HP then you lose the game. You can recover your HP each time you take a rest or take a bath. Recovery rates differ, and you cannot recover more HP than your max HP. Example. Your Max HP is 5, and the recovery rate is 6 HP. Even if the recovery rate is 6 HP, you cannot gain more than 5 HP, because 5 HP is your Max HP. In some occasions, your MAX HP may increase if you choose the right options. -=-=-=AFFECTION RATES=-=-=- These represent how much a girl likes you. The affection rate bar can be found on the left side of the screen, and is activated when you talk to a girl. The affection rate is in the form of hearts. 1 Affection point is represented as 1 heart, and well, you know the rest. -------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________ SECTION V: CHARACTERS _____________________________________________________________________ Keitaro Urashima: Keitaro dreams to one day get into Tokyo University but has failed several times.
