Notes: Japanese Super Famicom instruction booklet, 48 scan objects. The item dates the release 1993-09-10; the booklet itself carries no date. The OCR is imperfect Japanese (it splits kana and misreads some kanji), so quotes give the OCR plus a cleaned reading of ours, and the page images are the check. Pin is the searchable manual's DjVu XML. Printed page numbers are the booklet's (the scan jumps from p. 8 to p. 20).

Each of the 20 battlefields, battle numbers 0-19, has a count of battles at $0C:D4D0, which a new game copies to $0FD4, and a reward word at $07:EFA1. Every battlefield starts at 10. After a won battle with a number below 20, the game takes one off that battlefield's count and shows the number left; at zero it gives the reward: with the top bit set, the low 15 bits times 3 in experience; with bit 14, the item in the low byte; otherwise the low 14 bits times 3 in gold. The battlefield names are Archipelago's, not the game's: Archipelago's object ids 1-20 are taken as battle numbers 0-19 because their types (experience, item, gold) follow the reward words in the same order, and the official guide's numbered battlefields -2-, -5-, -19- and -20- have the rewards of battle numbers 1, 4, 18 and 19.	`p. 28, バトルポイントについて`	Code
By the US and Japanese manuals and Squaresoft's newsletter, monsters stand on the map in dungeons and towns, and walking into one starts a battle; the Overworld has no monsters to run into, and its battlefields are optional: 20 of them, each of 10 battles, with a prize for clearing one (ffmq-tables/battlefields). The code that stores a battle's number is ffmq/script-battle.	`p. 24, 戦闘システムp. 28, バトルポイントについて`	Manual
