In the main menu, there are many options to choose from. You have: Items, Skills, Equipment, Status, Save, Map, Options, Exit, Path. The first option, Items, is where you keep everything you pick up. The skills option allows you to use one of the character's abilities that they have. (Only certain skills can be used from the menu, such as healing.) The equipment choice is where you can go to equip and un-equip your characters with armor and weapons. The status choice allows you to view that status of individual characters. The save choice is really self-explanatory, but when it is grayed out, you can't save. In the map choice, this allows you to view the whole map that you are on instead of a 640x480 view of it. The options menu allows you to change the sound effects volume, the background music volume, and the color of the window skin (Green, Red, Blue). The exit option takes you to a menu that allows you to either exit to the title, exit the game, cancel the action, or view the credits. The path option brings you to a menu that allows you to view your party's habits and paths that the player chose to take.
