    because there are a lot of enemies and they are very strong. What

    Turbulence (if you can attack twice and they defend, their FP will
    increase 60 points), you will easy to make your enemies dizzy.

A : Choose to see Radcot in Chapter 6 : Radcot's Trap. Then lose the
    battle and you will meet Nana for the first time. After Radcot
