¤ What Are They

When you are aboard the Celcius (airship) and you are on the main deck area, you can head to the front where Brother and Buddy sit. Initiate a conversation with Buddy. He might start talking to you, but once he stops, you will be taken to the location selection screen (picture of the world map, and a list of all of the locations you are able to access at the time).

When you highlight that location from the huge list on the left hand side of the screen, you will notice some changes occur on your screen. Below is a detailed description of what changes you will see, the meaning and description behind it, and some basic information you should know regarding these changes.

Fiend Difficulty

• */*****: One out of five stars means that the fiends are very easy, and you should have no trouble what so ever defeating these enemies. Also, the amount of EXP, Gil and AP you get for the battles will be low.
• **/*****: Two out of five stars means that the fiends are a bit tougher, but still should hold no challenge. The amount of gil, AP and EXP for these battles will also be low, but higher than level one battles.
• ***/*****: Three out of five stars means that the battles you will encounter here are about just right for your characters' status. There may not be a challenge, but they will provide an average amount of gil, AP and EXP.
• ****/*****: Four out of five stars means that fiends in that area are above your levels, and more than likely will oppose a challenge. It would be smart to take lots of potions, or just run around getting into random battles near a save point in these locations.
• *****/*****: Five out of five stars means that the fiends are way ahead of your characters' capabilities. This is the biggest threat of each stage, and the most deadliest. It is highly advised you know some basic White Magic (cure, life, etc.) or take lots of items when fighting in these stages. Above average EXP, gil and AP is given in these battles.
