Walkthrough:


When you start a new game, the first thing you will need to do is name the protagonist of the story. 
If you want to know more about him (including his real name), follow this link.  Name him what you will.
For the purpose of this walkthrough, he will be called "Hero."
After he's named, you will be at the Options screen.  Change anything you'd like then hit the "Start" button to begin.
The action will begin immediatly as a lookout will see three ships coming up on you fast.  He will send a messenger to get the captain.
The captain (Snowe) will come talk to you and tell you that he'll take command.  Thats what Captains do.

With that Naval-Battle, First Encounter begins...

First Encounter (naval-battle)

Enemies Rune Configuration...
Your Rune Configuration...
Lightning, Water
Lightning
This is as easy as it gets.  Assign Keneth to the rune cannon.  If the enemy fires their lightning cannon, no damage is taken by either side.  If they fire their Water cannon, Keneth's will hit the enemy and block their attack.   The only way they can damage you this way is if they attack you from your front or rear (in which case Keneth cant counterattack). 

After the naval-battle, you will be boarded.  With that your first  Group Battle begins.
I will walk it out like a boss fight, but its no contest. 
You dont have the choice of winning this one.

After the Group Battle, you will be told that this is just a mock battle (if you didn't know).
Snowe will be scolded for allowing them to board so easily.
Commander Glen will challenge you to a duel, and since there are only 5 of these in the game, Accept.

Win and the Commander will applaud your improvements. 
They will talk about graduating and something called the "kindling ritual," and then Glen will leave.
At this point, you will be on top of a Gaien Ship.   Katarina is there but Glen has left.
There is nothing of interest on this ship so head up the stairs behind you and talk to Kenneth
This will trigger a scene where they are returning to Razril. 
Snowe will tell Keneth that he might make a better scholar than knight.
Talk to Tal or Jewel and they will mention Paula and that nobody's seen her. 
Katarina will announce that they are arriving at Razril. 
Following that a "credits" movie will play and you will see where Paula is hiding.
This will also trigger your arrival in Razril.

Walkthrough:

Upon arrival, Snowe will tell you that you should head to the training hall to hear the commanders speach.
Head northeast.  The big door there will put you into the courtyard. 
Before we go to the speech, lets pick up 3 pieces of treasure.
First take the first door to the east. 
You should see a set of stairs and a chest.  Open the chest and get the "Old Book #9." 
There is nothing up the stairs, so turn around and go back out to the courtyard. 

Now take the Second door to the east.
Once you go through that door, go through the door directly in front of you.
This is the hero's room.  Its a good time to save if you want.  You can rest in your bed to Restore HP and MP.
There is also a treasure chest in here.  Open it to get a steamed bun and a water orb.

That is all for now. 
Exit back to the courtyard and go through the door to the north to hear Commander Glen's speech. 
Congradulations, you're not a trainee anymore.  Commander Glen will mention a man named Troy during his speech.
When he's done Katarina will tell you what your duties will include:  Guard Duty in the water around Razril.

After tht Snowe will tell you that its time for the "kindling ritual." 
Head back out past the courtyard to the dock area that you entered from, and go through the door at the far west. 
This will put you in the harbor.

Walkthrough:

All of the stores are closed and there's nothing to loot, so just follow the water until the "kindling ceremony" begins. 
Snowe will begin the "Kindling Ritual" but will pass it on to you.
When you have the "kindling," just walk from person to person lighting all the other kindlings. 
When theyre all lit, just go foreward to start a party.


***interesting note:***
   you can take the torch that you get from Snowe and use it as a weapon in the back alley.
   just do it before you light all the torches.  It even does fire damage and shows your weapon to be "torch."


At the party, talk to your four friends (Tal, Keneth, Paula and Jewel). 
After this you can leave the party to look for more items.  I mean, lets face it... the party looks boring. 
Exit the party area the way you came in.  Go all the way to the water area. 
At the end of the long alley (where the kindling ceremony started), there is a cat.  An actual cat, not the cat-looking man, who you can pet. 
Pet it and it will give you a medicine.

Now talk to the cat-looking man (name is cheipoo).  He will tell you that he thinks a girl has been kidnapped, and he is quite right. 
Head back to the party the way you came.  Pick up two of your friends by talking to them.
This will help you decide later who you want to take with you.
Now head south through the back streets.   You will come upon a treasure chest followed by a large open area.
Open the treasure chest (mushroom) and go into the large open area.  Along the north wall is an alcove. 
In this alcove you will find your kidnappers.

Normal Attacks dont do a lot of damage, so stick to doing the Friendship attack over and over.  It'll make the attack go much faster.
Also, take out the underling first, since he has less HP.  That way you can gang up on a man who kidnaps virtual children.

Once the battle is over dont leave. 
The box directly beside the kidnappers, has a treasure map.
Just click on the box to get the treasure map (this is you're only chance to get it).
Now you're through with the back streets (unless you want to level up or something). 
Head back towards the dock, and your friends will leave you. 
You will also wake up the next morning in your room.

Walkthrough:

Meet up with Snowe at the courtyard exit.  He will tell you to go to the training hall. 
So go there.  Talk to one of your friends to begin the battles.  (if you want to train first, talk to the trainees north of the door)
This is how you pick the characters that you will travel with for good and the ones you wont see for quite a while. 
There are no bad or wrong choices, just preferences. 
At such a low level, the biggest difference between the characters is what rune they have. 
For a while you wont be able to change it.

Choosing your Teammates...
Name...
*Rune Description...   
Strengths 
Jewel
Jewel comes with a water rune.  Since you already have one equiped, her magic isn't a huge help. 
Fastest of the four
Keneth
Keneth comes with a lightning rune.  This is the best rune to have on a boss fight early on. 
Most skill of the four
Paula
Paula comes with a wind rune.  This rune isn't as good at lower levels, but its useful.
Best magic user of the four
Tal
Tal comes with the earth rune.  These are defensive spells and are useful during hard boss fights.
Strongest physical attacks of the four
* also note that these runes can be replaced by something better if you have it.  These are just their initial runes. 

Try all of them and see which two you prefer. 
They will make up half of your stars of destiny for quite a while. 
When you chose "i've decided,"  the people currently in your team, will eventually be you're first recruits.
But first...

First we will go get some more treasure.  Head back to the area with all the shops. 
They are open now, so if you have some shopping to do do it.  I suggest you have that water orb put on at the rune shop. 
You will also find a medicine in the rune shop.  There's not a treasure chest, just click on the chairs to get it. 
Now go to where the party was held.  The woman upstairs and to the east has a mushroom to give you
Go through the door to the north.  That is the inn. 
Check on the bookcase behind the innkeep to find another treasure map. 

Now its time to start your first mission:
Head to the dock, where you arrived, and talk to the knight beside the ship. 
Tell him you're ready to start you're mission. 
He will give you two choices:  Kill 3 sea creatures or Deliver a message to Middleport. 
If you're level 3 or below choose the sea creatures and then come back to do the Middleport mission.
If you're level 4 or above just skip the Sea Creatures mission and scroll down to the "Middleport misssions" part of the walkthrough.

For the Sea Creatures, its easy.  Just sail around until you've won three random fights.  You dont even have to sail back to Razril.
The reason I say to skip this one if you're level 4 or higher is because you have to be below level 5 to do the next mission.
It pays better than this one.

Walkthrough:

We now have two missions to Middleport.  The first one is only available to you before you reach level 5.
The first trip to Middleport is initiated by talking to the man by the ship.  Chose to take the message to Middleport.
To deliver the message, just sail East by Southeast to Middleport.  It isn't far away.  Hit the (o) button to check the map.
Along your two trips back and forth to Middleport, you should save up at least 2700 Potch. 
Use it to level up everyone's weapons to level 3 (if you dont have enough, you can skip Snowe's.  The other 3 are more important.)
Also search the ship to find 5 Medicines in the cabin.
Once you're in Middleport, just talk to the man standing closest to your ship.  He will pay you 1000 Potch for delivering the message.

We're not gonna loot middleport yet.  Were coming straight back, so for now just head back to Razril.  We'll loot Middleport on our second trip.'
That way we'll have more Potch to spend at the shops or blacksmith.
 
Once you reach Razril, talk to the man by the ship again.  He will once again send you to Middleport. 
This time he doesn't tell you what the mission is.  So sail back to Middleport.
This time talk to the new guy by the Ship.  He's a merchant who is having trouble.
He will ask you to kill a sea creature for him.  Its a Damp Hairball.
If you sail out from Middleport, it will probably be your first encounter. 
 
This guy will be a lot easier if you've strengthened your weapons, so lets loot Middleport now.
Head north to the Town Square.  The northeast room is the inn.  Search the southeast corner of the inn for some barrels (treasure map).
In the northwest corner of the town square is a treasure chest (500 Potch).  Thats where the item shop, armor shop and blacksmith are too.
Down the alley to the west is a treasure chest with a mushroom in it.  Search the barrels across from the mushroom to find an antitoxin.
Go back to the Town Square and go north.  On the next screen, look right for a chest containing the fancy console.
With Middleport looted, head to the blacksmith and level up them weapons. 
Buy some armor if you can afford it, but weapons take priority. 
 
Now head out to the ship and search for the Damp Hairball.
Kill it and return to the merchant to recieve your prize:  2000 Potch
