In the sky is where they live, trade, and battle. The sounds of cannons roar in the sky, and the emblem of the skull flutters. Air Pirates -- A band of armed folks that display their belief in that flag, search for uncharted worlds and stronger enemies, and fly freely in the sky. Young Air Pirate Vyse, together with his partner Aika, attacks a battleship of the Valuan Empire. The two meet a captive, a girl by the name of Fina. Though she was rescued, she would not give anything but her name... Later, the Valuan Empire, the strongest military nation in the world, sends a fleet to the Pirate Isle, where young Vyse lives. After a raid in midday, the Air Pirates are captured, and Fina also was taken by the Empire. Vyse and Aika, who escaped the raid, vow to rescue their friends, and head for the Valuan Empire. There is an endless sky ahead of the two... SETTING UP HARDWARE SETUP Skies of Arcadia Legends is a one player game. Connect the Nintendo GameCubeTM Controller to Controller Socket 1.

You could discover legendary ruins or new species of creatures. Guide your ship to new areas, and examine places. If there is a Discovery, it will be displayed. As the discoverer, Vyse and friends will leave their names in the history of this world. How to Make a Discovery It is extremely difficult to make Discoveries if you simply wander around in the vast skies. Follow the basic steps below and try to complete all Discoveries. VILLAGES & DUNGEONS Walk around in the village to collect information and shop for items, or explore the dungeons. See p.6 for the controls in villages and dungeons. DISPLAY 1 PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE 1 2 3 These are villagers and/or other sailors. You can gather information from them. 2 VYSE The player character you are controlling. 3 MINI MAP The map of the field you are currently in. The red indicates the current location and direction you are facing. Step 1 Gather Information To gather information on potential Discoveries, go to Sailors' Guild (p.15) at villages. Pay a certain amount of money, and you can buy information. There are also cases where you can earn information from villagers and other sailors. Try talking to various people. Step 2 Search and Discover ASCENDING/DESCENDING ON LADDERS AND POLES Press the a Button in front of a ladder or a pole to grab onto it. In this state, use 82 to ascend or descend. If you approach either end of the ladder or the pole, Vyse dismounts from it automatically. Based on information you gathered, search the area. When there is potential Discovery, the compass starts to turn rapidly. Press the a Button, and the Discovery will be revealed. Step 3 Sell Information EXAMINING Press the a Button: in front of shop/room door to open it and enter; in front of strange device to activate it; or at such places as in front of bookshelves, signs or other objects to examine that area. If you make a Discovery, go to the Sailors' Guild and sell information. Note that Vyse and friends are not the only ones making Discoveries. If a rival explorer sells the information before you do, your information will be bought at a cheaper price. View Discoveries in Your Journal If you make a Discovery, it will be added to your list of Discoveries in the Status Menu. You can check this at any time. Please see p.34 for more on the Journal. TALKING TO PEOPLE In front of the characters you can talk to, press the a Button to start conversations. There are cases where, by talking, the character may join you as a party member or as a crew member. Also, there are cases where you may have to select your replies. OBTAINING ITEMS MAKING DISCOVERIES TO EARN MONEY When you sell information on your Discovery, you will be paid according to its worth as well as on quickness. It takes a lot of money to equip yourself as well as to modify your ship/base. Use this as your precious source to earn money. In front of a treasure chest, press the a Button to open it and obtain the item inside. However, if the number of that item exceeds the maximum number (99) you can hold, you will not be able to obtain it. 12 13 SHOPPING Go into the shops in the village, and you can buy and sell weapons and items. In front of the merchant, press the a Button to talk to him/her. Use 82 to select the menu item, and press the a Button to enter.

Follow the steps below to buy or sell items. In each step (except 3), press the b Button to return to the previous step/menu. Step 1 Select Item TAKING A REST At an inn, you can rest yourself. There is a Save Point located inside the inn, so you can save your progress there. To take a rest, approach the innkeeper, and press the a Button to talk. Use 82 to select Stay the night/Leave, and press the a Button to enter. By resting, the characters' HP, MP, and the ship's HP will be fully restored. SAILORS' GUILD At Sailors' Guilds, located in several villages in the world, you can buy and sell information regarding the Discoveries. To buy or sell information, approach the Guildmaster and press the a Button to talk to him. Use 82 to select Buy and sell Discovery information/Talk about various things/Leave and press the a Button to enter. Buy and sell Discovery information When this is selected, you will have the option to select Buy Info., Sell Info., Wanted List and Exit. Use 82 to select menu item and press the a Button to enter.

Use 82 to select the information you wish to sell, and press the a Button to enter. If there is more information than what is listed on the screen, use 4 6 to change the list. Note that the value of information will drop if you were very late in discovering, or wasted a long time before selling information. Wanted List You can view a list of Black Pirates that have bounties put out. Use 82 to select the Black Pirate, and press the a Button to view his information. While the information is displayed, use 4 6 to display previous/next. Note: To collect bounty, defeat the Black Pirate on the list, and simply report it back to the Sailors' Guild. Talk about various things You can talk to the Guildmaster for information regarding the Guild. You may at times gain information that can help you in your adventure. Leave Leave the Guild. Use 824 6 to select the item to buy/sell, and press the a Button to enter. If there are more items than what are listed, use 4 6 to change list. When purchasing weapons or armors, a reference to who can equip that item, and the amount of changes in parameters when that item is equipped will be displayed. (Value of increase will be displayed in green, decrease in red. Press the x Button to switch between the displays of the value differences, the potential amount when it is equipped, and the data of items currently equipped.) Use this as a guide to your purchase. Note also that, as the story progresses, the list of available items may change. Step 2 Select Amount Select the number of items you wish to buy or sell. Use 82 to increase/decrease the number by one, 4 6 to increase/decrease by ten, and press the a Button to buy/sell. Step 3 Equip Item After the purchase, you can immediately equip weapons, armors, accessories, or ship parts. With change in parameters as reference, use 82 to select the character you wish to equip that item with (in case of weapon, use 4 6 to select its color attribute), and press the a Button to enter. The items that character was previously equipped with will not be lost. Talk about various things You can talk to the merchant. You can get advice regarding the items or information that can be useful in your adventure. There are also cases where, by talking, you might be able to obtain items that are not on the normal list. Leave Leave the shop. 14 15 ABOUT MOONFISH During the course of your adventure, you will be requested to catch mysterious creatures called "Moonfish." Moonfish can only be caught in a peculiar way. Also, by feeding these moonfish to a mysterious bird (see next page), you can obtain various items. Step 3 Move Sight When you find moonfish, a sight will appear at the center of the screen. Use 824 6 to move the sight to where the moonfish is. When you catch moonfish inside the sight, the sight will lock onto it. Note, however, that if the moonfish is too far, the sight will not be displayed. 1 MOONFISH 2 SIGHT TO CATCH MOONFISH 2 What are Moonfish? Moonfish are invisible fish that live all over the world. With Moon Lens you receive from "Doc," you will be able to see them. It is said that the moonfish hide in such places as behind buildings and under bridges, rather than somewhere easily seen. People Involved with Moonfish 1 Step 4 Catch Moonfish When the sight is locked onto the moonfish, press the a Button to catch. You can verify the number of moonfish caught in the Status Screen. Mysterious Bird Maria is Breeding The strange looking bird Maria is holding preciously is a mysterious creature that only feeds on moonfish. By eating moonfish the bird grows, and as you feed it you will receive various items. Feeding the Bird Whenever you visit Doc, if you have a moonfish, you will be asked whether to feed the bird or not. Give moonfish, and the bird grows gradually. When it grows to a certain point, its appearance changes until its adult form. Receive an Item Each moonfish you feed the bird will earn you one item. "Doc" Maria How to Catch Moonfish Step 1 Listen to the Signal When the moonfish is nearby, the Moon Lens will sound a signal. As the interval of sounds become shorter, you are getting closer to the moonfish. Listen carefully, and walk towards the area with shorter intervals. WHEN THE BIRD GROWS... Step 2 Find Moonfish in First Person View When the tone of sounds change, press the y Button to switch to the first person view, and use 824 6 to look around and find moonfish. At first, the bird is only a chick, therefore all items you receive are inexpensive. But as the bird grows to become an adult, the items you receive will be more valuable. Find the moonfish, and raise the bird. 16 17 SWASHBUCKLER RATING Depending on the events and selection of your replies in conversations, the value of Vyse's Swashbuckler rating changes. If you make the correct decisions and perform brave actions, the value rises, and people's attitudes towards Vyse will change. If you have a high Swashbuckler rating, people will trust you, and they will be easier to deal with. When there is a change in the Swashbuckler rating, a chime will ring to indicate whether it has risen or fallen. You can get an idea as to how high your Swashbuckler rating is by going to the Character Status screen of the Status Menu (p.31) and finding out what Vyse's title is. BASE SYSTEM AND CREW SYSTEM Sometime in the adventure, Vyse will obtain his own ship. At that time, apart from party members such as Aika and Fina, you can obtain crew members. Also, he will establish his own base, just like Dyne's Pirate Isle. About Base System When there is a Builder, you can invest money to have him improve the base. This is called the Base System. You can change the appearance of structures as well as their functions. Also, by bringing new crew members, new buildings can be built, making your base a more lively place. GROWTH OF CUPIL, AND CHAMS Cupil is a mysterious creature that can change itself into various forms, acting as Fina's weapon during the Normal Battle. About Crew System When Vyse obtains his own ship, he can scout for crew members to bring aboard. Depending on the crew members' abilities, the ship and the base can be powered up accordingly. This is called the Crew System. How to grow Cupil Cupil grows by eating a special food (item) called "Cham." When it grows, it can change itself into various weapon form. Chams How to Find Chams Chams can be found anywhere in the world, but they are so small that they cannot be found as easily as other treasures. But when you approach the location where Cham is, Cupil reacts to let you know. Along with the sound (and the rumble of the Controller, if enabled), a Cupil icon will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen. Press the a Button when Cupil reacts to Cham to examine the nearby area. Crews' Abilities There are various occupations specific to each crew, and each will support Vyse with his/her abilities. For example, if you have a Gunner aboard, the ship's bombing ability will increase. Also, while in a ship battle, you can select the Crew command to have him/her do his/her work. Scouting for Crews The possible crew members are scattered throughout the world. But not all will join easily, as some will require special conditions. Whether he/she will join as a crew member is up to Vyse. 18 19 BATTLE MODES There are two different battle modes: Normal Battle, where party members and enemies battle on one field; and a Ship Battle, where your ship battles against the enemy ship. See p.7 for the controls in each battle mode. Battle Commands On each turn, you will select each character's action, starting with Vyse. Use 824 6 to select a command, and press the a Button to enter (some commands may not be selectable depending on conditions). Press the b Button to cancel. You can also change the color of the weapon by pressing the y Button (p.24). Press the x Button while making a command selection to show/hide status of the party, and while making item/magic selection to show/hide its description.

Only Vyse (or the first character on the turn) can select. Note that selecting this will not enable you to escape 100% of the time. Against the bosses, however, you cannot escape. 42 5 6 2 Item Use an item. First, use 4 6 to select the type of item, and 2 (or Press the a Button) to move the cursor to the list of selected type of items. Next, use 82 to select the item (4 6 to change list, if any), and press the a Button to enter. Finally, use 82 to select the target character to use item on, and press the a Button (unless the item affects everyone). You can also change equipment and change weapon color. Guard Guard oneself to reduce the damage taken from enemy attacks. When guarding, the name on Simplified Status will be indicated with magenta. Guarding only lasts for one turn. Attack Attack with equipped weapon. When selected, a cursor will appear over the enemy to attack. Use 82 to select the enemy, and press the a Button to enter. There are close-range attacks and longrange attacks, and each character will decide automatically depending on situations. Also, depending on the color (attribute) of the weapon, the damages to the enemy may differ (p.24). 7 1 SPIRIT POINTS GAUGE (SP) The value of actions your party can take as a whole. It will be consumed when magic and Super Moves are used. It is displayed as current value/maximum value. The green gauge indicates the amount you can spend, and the red indicates the amount you have already assigned. After each turn, the amount increases according to the number of characters that can take action. Also, on command selection, select FOCUS to increase this amount. After each battle, the value returns to the amount at the beginning of the battle. Note also that when the battle action is selected, its icon will be displayed here. 2 CHARACTER'S FACE AND NAME The color of the rim displaying the character's face indicates the current color of weapon equipped. 3 LEVEL (Lv) Indicates the current level of that character. 4 MAGIC POINTS (Mp) Indicates the amount of magic points the character can use. The values indicate the current/maximum value. If you use magic, the value decreases by one. 5 HIT POINTS (Hp) Indicates the physical strength of the character. The values indicate the current/maximum value. When the value drops to zero, that character becomes unconscious and will not be able to fight (he/she will be revived after the battle with Hp at one). 6 CHARACTER STATUS If there is a temporary change in status (such as a rise/fall in player's parameter, or adverse effects like Poison, etc.), icon(s) will be displayed here. 7 BATTLE COMMANDS See next page. 20 21 S-Move By spending a certain amount of Spirit Points (SP), the character can use the Super Move he/she has learned. Use 82 to select the Super Move and press the a Button. Press the x Button while selecting to display its description. You may not select this if the character has not learned any Super Moves. Note also that during the first few seconds of the Super Move animation, press either START/PAUSE or the z Button to skip the animation. Magic Use the magic the character has learned. In addition to a given amount of SP, 1 Mp (Magic Point) is spent for each use. Use 824 6 to select the magic, and press the a Button. Press the x Button while selecting to display its description. Focus Increases the amount of Spirit Points. The amount depends on the Spirit rating of the character using this command. Change in Character Status During the battle, the status of the character, friend or enemy, may be changed in various ways from an effect of Magic or special attacks. Character State During the battle, if the color of the name of friend/enemy on Status Display changes, it indicates that the state of the character has been altered. Magenta Light Green Yellow Blue Mg+LG+Y+Bl Guarding. Nullify Attack is in effect. Nullify Attack from Magic. Nullify Abnormality in Status. Nullify all attack from the enemy. Spirit System Spirit Point, or SP, is the value of actions your party can take as a whole, and is displayed as a green gauge at the top of the Battle screens. During Normal Battles, it will be consumed when using Magic or Super Moves. During Ship Battles, it will be consumed on all commands except Run, Guard, Focus, and Item. The stronger the Magic or the Super Move, the more SP the action will consume. You will regain a given amount of SP on every turn, but you can gain additional SP with the Focus command. Since this value is shared among the party, it is possible to make one of your party gain SP while the others use the Magic/Super Move to consume it. Learning Super Moves The characters learn new Super Moves by consuming items called "Moonberries."

But being on the Wanted List, they are formidable enemies. Action Rounds for Attack There are three types of artilleries you can use to Attack by ship, and their features are different. With proper assignments, you can concentrate fire when the chance arrives. With main and secondary cannons, however, if your position against the enemy ship is not correct, you may not be able to have the enemy in the correct angle to fire, losing your shot in this case. Also, depending on the accuracy rating of the cannon, you may miss, even if the enemy is in the angle of your fire. Main Cannon Fires and hits on same round. Has power, but consumes more SP. Secondary Cannon With additional consumption of SP, you can fire in successive rounds. Torpedo You may designate the round to fire and the round to hit.

To bring battle to your advantage, act with caution. Collect Bounties at the Sailors' Guild When you defeat the wanted Black Pirate, go back to the Sailors' Guild. Talk to the Guildmaster, and the bounty will be paid. The amount of bounty varies according to the Black Pirates you defeated.
