Square had a partnership with Electronic Arts in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Square Electronic Arts LLC published all of Square's titles in North America, while Electronic Arts Square K.K. published EA's titles in Japan. Both the LLC and the K.K. were dissolved when Squaresoft merged with Enix, with each partnes buying the other's shares and Square calling the joint venture a success. The LLC would be rebranded under the Square Enix name.

Chapter 2: A New Journey

Musashi then wakes up in a guest room in Allucaneet Castle. Steward Ribson and Butler Livers. You'll obviously have to find the Princess to go back home, but you'll also have to take down the Thirstquencher Empire as they want Lumina. Once it absorbs the Scrolls of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind and Sky, the bearer of the sword will have extraordinary powers.

You'll then find out Seer Bevealy, the only person who knows where the Five Scrolls are, was kidnapped along with everyone else in the castle and sealed in green Bincho Fields. These Fields can only be broken with Lumina.

You'll then receive the Rescue List, which shows all the people you have to rescue. You'll also receive the Sensor Watch. In case you're near a Bincho Field, the circle around Lumina will glow red.

You'll learn that Grillin' Village is at the foot of the castle. You'll also find out that the guest room can be used as a free inn, just in case. You'll also have to head to the library to meet Scribe Shanky, who can read any info you might be interested in having.

The info in Scribe Shanky's books will tell you about the Legend of Musashi, Binchotite, the Allucaneet Kingdom, the Thirstquencher Empire, and...Shogi? I guess that will come in handy later. Unfortunately, you'll only be able to read the first three books for now, as you won't be able to unlock the last two until later. D-Pad select, X confirms and Triangle backs out. 

Scribe Shanky will tell you the gondola is out, so you'll have to glide along the zip line with Fusion and Lumina.

The Visit command will allow you to visit people who have already been rescued. There is Steward Ribson as well as Butler Livers (Butler) and Scribe Shanky (Scribe, who is in the library), but there is also Clown Weinee. Clown Weinee (Clown) will tell you that his partner Acrobat Sausage is currently missing, and Musician Beef-Clef (MusicianA) is waiting for the other musicians to come back.

The Room command lets you go back to your room. You can sleep there for free, but you can also do more here. I'll go into more detail later on.

For your stats, you'll have Body (your strength, which increases with time and as you fight), Mind (your defense, which increases at time goes on), Fusion (Fusion's strength, which increases with time and as you use Fusion) and Lumina (Lumina's strength, which increases with time and as you use Lumina).
