Frequently asked questions
Does the HD-2D edition have a Pachisi board?
No. Check the HD-2D edition's shops, treasure chests, and mini medal rewards rather than relying on Pachisi prizes.
Does this guide cover every location?
It organizes progression from the main story through the Temple of Trials, major bosses, selected equipment, and mini medal rewards. Coordinates for every treasure chest and friendly monster, and every shop's inventory, remain outside its scope.
