Xenosaga Skills FAQ ver. 1.0b For Japanse PS2 by Ashley Curtis (Date 7/7/02) Do not reference, alter, or use (this include webmasters, publishers, and magazine staff) without my express written permission. Contents: 1.1 Intro 1.2 Thanks and Email Info 1.3 Updates 1.4 Skills 1.5 Questions about Skills 1.1 -------------Intro-------------------- I've been working with Jetfuel, in the making the ultimate faq for Xenosaga for sometime now. I've heard several requests for sections of the mega faq in smaller chunks. So I've taken it upon myself to a least put my contributions in bit sized chunks. This is the first of these. The skills below were taken from the game. Also I translated info from many different Japanese Xenosaga web sites to fill in the gaps. 1.2 -----------Thanks and Email----------- Please feel free to offer tweaks about translation and the effects of these skills. I can be contacted at asyurei@adelphia.net. I want to thank most of all "Game Masters of XenoSaga" a great site for info on the game in Japanese (http://www.netdene.com/~kusari/xenosaga/). Also in need of much thanks are "Jetfuel, Duckroll, Axel5, and Olivier Hagu for corrections and supporting my translation efforts. It's imposible to forget to thank "The Ethos Headquearters" for providing a great forum for me to post my work (http://www.the-ethos.org/). 1.3 -------------Updates------------------ 03/27/02 Version
