0. Foreword

Hello to whoever may be reading this.

For those who have remembered me, I have done a similar mini-FAQ for Shining Soul before (the old FAQ can be found here).
I have decided to follow up with one for Shining Soul II. I hope this little guide will come in handy for those who are importing the game.

This guide will be updated periodically, or whenever I feel that there is a need to.

Have fun!
