How do I see the stats of weapons and armor so I'll know I have the best available equipped? Also how do you see what the different items do?

You can't. That's one thing annoys me the most. I don't know if they can address that with a update.

Also, I'd like to know how strong the monsters are.

They should post some more info. about the game on their website. Hopefully soon.

Supposedly in 1.0.1 (free update), the buy/sell/equip menus will include a brief description of every item.

One VERY useful item I can tell you what it does: the fog machine. It warps you out of dungeons! So, make your way to the end of a dungeon, no need to walk all the way back out, just warp out.

Part of the fun of old school RPG's is figuring out what all the poorly translated crap does :)

How the hell do you get out of this stupid castle???

In the room where you first gain control of the character, walk left to the center of the red carpet and then head STRAIGHT down.

Does anyone else have the bug where the bar that lets you choose what you want to do in combat doesn't come up and you have to restart the application? It's really annoying and I'm hoping it's fixed with an update.

does anyone know if Vay will play in Japanese under a Japanese iPhone?

I'm not sure, but I DO know you can play Vay in Japanese on an American iphone. Just switch your language settings to Japanese and the game'll be in the original, untranslated Japanese text. I'm not sure if cutscenes'll be in Japanese or not. I admittedly haven't played much of it in Japanese.

Just be careful if you do this, because once you switch language settings your last auto-save won't work (though the game just makes another). This is actually a really good trick to use if you come across a bug in the game and auto-save prevents you from loading a save to get around it (I actually had to use this trick myself. Thanks SoMoGa tech people for telling me about it!).

No, but just curious -- does the bar come up blank or not at all?

Actually, you can change the cutscene's audio track using the little bubble icon in the iPod icons. Each cutscene has dual-language audio.

The bar comes up with the character shown at the top right but with no icons on the bar for Attacking, Casting Magic, etc.

How would I go about reinstalling it (to see if that would fix the problem) without losing all my saved data?

I've had that happen, it's just a game bug. I personally don't find it that annoying, since all you have to do is hit home, then restart the game and it instantly continues exactly where it left off in the fight, and it's a rare occurrence.

Does anyone have or know where I can find a detailed item description list? I have several items, but not a clue what they do without wasting them. Help?

No, but one thing you can do is save your game, use all the items to figure out what they do, and then load that game back up.

that is incorrect. There is a site with weapon, armor, item, spell, and other info and stats. It seems old and like a beta test thing cause the names for the spells have been changed from what they are on that website. But the items are the same from what I know. Tell you who can use what, who can learn what, how strong it is, the works. But I forget the website name. I'll look for it again and if I find it I will put it on here if I remember this site. Just joined to tell y'all. Lol. You just have to know where to look...

I don't know if this was made for Vay that was possibly ever on a diff platform or not. But it must be pretty equalized stats to the now iPhone version

Go to http://rpgclassics.com/shrines/sega_cd/vay

(obviously it's for the sega so not all the info will be about the iPhone version but the rest of the stats should be in equal ratio with the iPhone version. If not I'm sry, just tryin to help)

I don't think we need a site like that anymore with the new update, the equipment, items, in the stores now show their stats, function, cost, and who can equip it. Can't recall if it shows that only in the store.

It also shows it in the main item screen on the menu, which is actually something that's an improvement over the SegaCD game itself (The item descriptions were only in the shops).

So yeah...you don't really need a FAQ for items anymore. Thank goodness.

Im getting really frustrated... After you get the Vay armor powered up and you go to the Legendary Island you go into a place a little bit in that is just rows and rows of the same building and every time you enter one it takes you back to the one you come out of... Which one do I go in?
