Stuck In Aurora Quest

[mobiusclimber]

Wow, I know, I was all fired up about writing a walkthru for this if I got though it, now here I am asking for help since I have no idea what to do next. XD I'm hoping  someone on here has gotten farther than I have and can help. I'm stuck in the  fourth town you go to (third town in the "city in the clouds" or whatever it is). In the second of those towns, I opened up a hole in the sidewalk and went down into a short sewer-style maze. I fought a boss and freed the third ... guy who stands behind a counter in what I call the concert hall (since it's got a drum set sitting on a stage). I thought he would be in the third concert hall (the one in the fourth town in the game, third town in the "cloud city"), but he didn't show up there. But I was able to get into Club Lips or whatever it's called. I walked to the right, then up, then to the left and talked to the woman on stage (I talked to everyone on here, but she seems most important). She asked me two questions, both of which I answered with the top answer. Now when I talk to her she says something different (ie, she doesn't ask me anything anymore) and it's the same thing each time I talk to her now. BUT I can't figure out where I'm supposed to go from here or what I need to do. I've pretty much walked around everywhere. I thought there might be a hidden dungeon somewhere in this town, but I can't find it. Also, usually when you beat one of these, what I call "glass dungeons" (because the building they're in is covered in glass on the outside), the person behind the counter offers to sell me something. That isn't happening in here, so I don't think I've "beaten" this dungeon. And since there was no boss fight, I'm pretty sure I haven't. I think the woman on stage gave me a fetch quest of some kind, but I have no idea what she wants or how to go about getting it for her. Anyone know what I"m meant to do here?

I finished it a while back ago ->here<-, but it's been awhile, so I can't really remember much about it.

If you haven't found it already, I can only direct you this Japanese faq site.  (I took a look at the it, trying to find out where you were in faq, but I couldn't quite match up what you said to the faq...  )

You might have some luck with a web translator like babelfish.  Good luck.

I tried translating it but it makes no sense to me. (I used iGoogle for it and it's pretty garbled.) Here's the point I'm at:

●ヤンのディスコへ
水晶のバラを渡す
●メトロの街の骨董品屋で輝くダイヤをもらう
ヤンに輝くダイヤを渡す
VS　ヤン

This is in the section of that guide with this pic:

Not sure if you need just this part (or perhaps the part right before that) -- I translated the part just above that and what's below.  I didn't get 100% of everything, but I got through it with what I understood below, so hopefully you should be okay.

See how far you can get along with this.

Thanks so much. This is sort of what I was afraid of. The "antique store" is the place that I said looks like it's covered in gold on the inside. The person behind the counter will sell a diamond for something like 500,000 CT, way more cash than I could possibly wrangle, yet that's what I'm supposed to do. Crazy.

Also I'm going to have to figure out what's up with magic because it doesn't seem like anyone in my party can use magic, yet according to the guide, one person should have a spell now. I'll have to double check. Or it might be an item that has to be used on the person so they can learn the spell. No idea.

Anyway, thanks so much for translating that for me. Makes a lot more sense now. The online translators really garble the message until it's meaningless.

[termis]

Mm... Yeah, I don't recall having to do any crazy amount of gold/exp raising in the game, so you might've missed something...  Take that with a grain of salt though, cause like I said, it's been awhile since I finished the game.

[mobiusclimber]

I've been playing the Black Jack game trying to raise the cash for it, but it's really slow going. Not sure what else to do tho since I've already re-talked-to everyone and no one was loaned me a ton of money or anything.

I finally figured out how to get past this, but my faith in being able to write a guide for this game is pretty low right now. I mean, I know what I did, and I have a semi-inkling of how it relates to what I needed to do here, but... I'm still pretty confused and not sure at all of what it was that I did that allowed me to get into the battle that lead me to go to the next "world." I guess I'll just keep taking notes and when (if) I finish the game I'll look them over and see if they make sense or not. The only things I've been able to do so far has been through sheer trial and error and just blundering my way through it. Not really the kind of thing that would make a great guide.
