Field notes
The desktop strip can sit at the top or bottom of the screen, and a Reserve space option is described as making windows leave room for it. Combat uses up to three party members against five enemies; the page says gem-based skills trigger at fixed chances, collectively about one turn in four. Its town section lists shops, jobs, a market, a bank, quests, and other heroes.
