Saving / Restart Explained
You can have one hard save, and one soft save.
A hard save is made by using a save token at a recorder.
This saves your progress in a file and keeps it there no matter what. When you're
done playing for the day, you can
select quit from the menu and the game will save your current data on a seperate
file for you to load the next time you play the game. The deal about the soft
save is that once you save, you're returned to the title screen, so you can't
have a backup soft save incase you die, thats what hard saves are for. I'll
repeat that, hard saves are only incase you die or would like to restart.
In the main menu you have an emergency quit option. You can quit and either
restart from the beginning of the game or from your last hard save. These are
also you're options if you die. If you restart from the beginning you'll lose
everything in your inventory. You will retain all your equipped weapons and
armor, all of your skill, your money, your party EXP, and everything you had in
storage. If you restart from your last save you only get a fraction of your party
exp, everything else is the same.
What that means is, you can create a hard save in a dungeon with a whole lot of
treasure boxes, run into the dungeon, get a bunch of cash, items, and party EXP.
Sell what you dont want, store the rest, restart from your hard save, and repeat
the process for an insane amount of cash and items, and depending on the area and
insane amount of EXP so level building is possible. I played this game yesterday
afternoon, restarting a few times from the beginning and the last time I did so I
spent all 2200 of my Party EXP on Ryu taking him to level 14 right at the
beginning of the game.

Helping The Shopkeeper
During the game you will meet a man who wants to
set up his own shop. Depending on how much you
give him, the shop will have different wares:
1-100: Basic weapons.
101-500: Basic skills
501-1000: Better weapons and some skills.
1001-2000: Better skills, but more items then
skills.
2001-2500: Mega heal kits and such at low
prices.
2501-3000: Your choice of good weapons, items,
skills, armor and a mini-game.
3001-5000: Great weapons for Lin, poor weapons
for Ryu and Nina, and good spells for Nina.
5001-10000: Your choice of great weapons,
skills, spells, stat increasers, armor, items,
but no mini-game.
Note: You will not find this man unless you
replay the game around 50 through 70 tries. Even
then, you will have to come far to get him.
However, once you do he will be at almost every
town you visit, just like the fairy.
