Modes of Transportation
Walking
 Field/Town

 Your basic mode of transportation.  You will using this during most of the game, as well as inside dungeons.
Dungeon
When walking in the field, you can sometimes come across what seems to be a 'dead end'.  Walking into a dead end can sometimes lead to a hidden tunnel inside mountains.

Sub-C
A submarine, obtained in the later part of Chapter 1.  Used to navigate the waters during most of the game.
After you've obtained the ID Code 1776 in Chapter 2, you will be allowed to submerge the Sub-C in certain areas of water, allowing you travel to different areas otherwise unaccessible.


Black Water Waves
Press 'B' to submerge the Sub-C on one of these marks to travel unwater to be taken to one in another location.
 
There are also certain areas that have hidden passageways that allow you to move through a seemingly solid piece of land.

Watery Under Currents
(Look for these areas of water near landmasses; it'll look like the water is sparkling).

(Remember, that only happens for the ones in Chapter 8)
