This FAQ is the compilation work of theonejin based on
the JPN version of Blue Dragon.


First before I proceed let me give thanks go to:
Mistwalker, Artoon, Microsoft game studios and
especially to Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama &
Nobuo Uematsu for a magnificent RPG, may it spawn lots of sequels! ^_^
