===============
1. Introduction
===============

Hi! This is my very first FAQ, so please go easy on me. I tried to compile a
list of battle quotes from Shadow Hearts:Covenant. I wanted my first FAQ to be
easy to create, and noticed the lack of a Battle Quote FAQ for SH:C on
GameFAQs.com. Since SH:C has lots of great quotes, I thought it would be a
good idea to collect them for easier reference... and here they are!

If you have any comments or suggestions, please send me a mail. You can find
my mail address at the bottom of this document.
Also contact me if you've found a quote not included in this FAQ.

2. History
==========

Version 0.8
April 19th, 2007 - Only some quotes from major characters missing, some quotes
                   need confirmation. No quotes from minor characters so far.
                   First release candidate.
                   
Version 0.9
April 22th, 2007 - Added most of the quotes of the minor characters.
                   This was the first released version.

==========================
4. A little explanation...
==========================

Basically you can divide the battle quotes in three subsections: Crest Magic,
Special Abilities, Battle End. Every main character has one or more distinctive
quote in those three subsections. 

Additionally there is a fourth subsection, which I called Miscellaneous.
In this subsection you will find quotes not fitting in any other section, like
the "You're finished!"-quote belonging to Hien's fifth attack.


-----------------------
4.1. Crest Magic Quotes
-----------------------

Every character (except Yuri, Kurando and Nicolai) has three different quotes
for Crest Magic:
- an offensive quote: every offensive spell that inflicts damage on the enemy
- a supportive quote: every spell raising character attributes or elemental
  resistances damage types or changing the characters element.
- a healing quote: every spell that recharges HP or cures status abnormalities


---------------------------
4.2. Special Ability Quotes
---------------------------

This section includes every quote from a character's special attacks, for
example Karin's Sword Arts. Some characters unfortunately don't have any quotes
in this section.


----------------------
4.3. Battle End Quotes
----------------------

Most quotes will be in this section. Here you can find the quotes from the
character that made the finishing blow in the battle. I'm not sure if these
quotes have certain requirements, but I will investigate that.

6. Thanks
=========

First of all I have to thank my friend Anja, who supported me while I was
writing this FAQ. She helped me collecting quotes from various characters,
corrected me on some others, and proof-read the FAQ. 
Anja also introduced me to Shadow Hearts in the first place, so without her
this FAQ would probably not exist.
Thank you for your support, Anja!

Next, I want to thank Nautilus, for creating Shadow Hearts. Nautilus showed us
that great RPGs don't necessarily need the Square-Enix logo.

I also want to thank GameFAQs and all it's contributors for supplying us with
knowledge about lots of games for years now. Go on, GameFAQs!



====================  
7. Nobody's perfect.
====================

There are still some things I want to check, so while there's still stuff in
this section, expect new versions of this FAQ.

- Check every character for miscellaneous quotes while doing multi-hit attacks.
- Check for tenth Battle End Quote of Yuri, Karin, Gepetto and Anastasia.
- Clarification of the "not sure" quotes. Anastasia's and Joachim's quotes are
  hard to understand. Raiden's too. This will included in the 1.0 release.
