Conversation

Approach a character in the game and press  to initiate a conversation with that person.

Whenever Ryo is within speaking range of a character, an  Button icon 

will appear in the lower right corner of the game display. This icon will also 

appear during a conversation to indicate when it is possible to continue speaking.

While talking to someone it is possible to skip over part or all of the dialog by pressing  .

(Depending on the dialogue mode selected, the dialog skip function may be disabled.)

To modify the dialog mode setting, select “Settings” from the System Menu. 

During a conversation, after a portion of dialogue is

complete an  icon will appear in the lower right corner of

the game display to indicate when it is possible to continue

the conversation. Once the icon appears, press  .
Of course, the decision about whether to continue or

discontinue a conversation is completely up to you so use

your own discretion.

Ryo is not the only character that can initiate conversations.

There are some situations in which another character will

approach and solicit a conversation with Ryo

Action Selector (A.S.)

In various situations throughout the game you are required to select a behavior and/or 

action such as to respond to a question proposed during a conversation, 

or to select a course of action during an event, etc. 

When these situations occur, an Action Selector (A.S.) depicting the available options is

displayed in the upper left corner of the game display. Use  , ,

or  to select an action. 

There is a time limit set for selecting an option, so if you fail to make a selection within the

time allotted, the game will proceed as if you simply failed to make a decision. 

This screen shot depicts a scene in the game where Ryo

is being asked to perform a favor. In this situation, if you

press  , you are agreeing to perform the favor and if you

press  you are declining to per form the favor.

What would you choose to do?

This screen shot depicts a scene in which Ryo must decide

whether or not to buy a drink from a vending machine for

this man. Use the D-Pad to make a selection.
