Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

ESRB Game Ratings

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age-appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

ESRB ratings have two equal parts:

• Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada.
• Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

PROLOGUE

Long, long ago, a young warrior, guided by a beast of the gods, united the scattered warring kingdoms under a single banner. He went on to found a country and become its king.

For ages the kingdom flourished under the rule of brave and wise kings, its fantastic technologies ushering in unprecedented prosperity for the people. One fateful night, however, the entire kingdom was suddenly cloaked in a terrible “darkness” that welled up from inside the Palace itself. The darkness swallowed up the people and utterly destroyed the kingdom in just a single night.

Those few of its people who managed to survive fled to the wilds and deserts of the frontier lands, there languishing in poverty as they struggled and fought one another over what meager land remained.

The bravest among them eventually banded together and returned to the kingdom, intent on taking it back, but in the face of the immortal soldiers coughed up by the darkness, only a handful of them even survived to report their failure.

One hundred years have passed...

A young thief, accompanied only by some faithful animals, now manages to sneak past the watchful eyes of the soldiers of darkness and make his way inside the Palace.

Time in the Forsaken Kingdom, frozen for so long, is about to start moving again.

CHARACTERS

TEPEU

A thief who has infiltrated the Forsaken Kingdom with a very specific goal in mind. Finding himself cornered in the dark castle, he has a fateful meeting with the Majin, and their journey to bring an end to the darkness begins. He has a unique ability to speak with animals.

MAJIN

He has protected the kingdom since ancient times using a combination of incredible physical strength and mysterious abilities. In the hundred years since the kingdom was covered in darkness the Majin has been imprisoned inside the castle. When finally saved by the main character, most of his powers and memories have been lost, but he will gradually regain these as the adventure progresses.

COMBINATION ATTACKS

Having the main character and Majin work together in combat can allow you to perform a combination attack, which causes big damage to the soldiers of darkness. If you start by having the main character fight alone and build up the Majin gauge then combination attacks can be used in succession. However, if the Majin is not nearby or if he is doing something else the main character's attack power will be drastically reduced.

1: USE MAJIN'S SPECIAL ABILITIES TO HINDER SOLDIERS OF DARKNESS

The Majin's attacks, or special abilities used via Select Ability Mode, can hinder the actions of the soldiers of darkness by dizzying or paralyzing them.

2: USE MAIN CHARACTER'S ATTACKS TO CREATE A COMBINATION CHANCE

Using the main character to attack an afflicted soldier of darkness can create a combination chance. When this happens a B icon will be displayed on the screen. Press B while the icon is displayed and a combination attack will be performed.

When a combination attack hits the combination gauge will fill up. When the combination gauge is completely full, a combination chance occurs and you press the Ⓑ button an even more powerful Finish attack will be performed, causing incredible damage to the enemy. Defeating enemies with a Finish attack will award you with additional Friendship Fragments.
