These are the answers to the growing list of questions I have been asked. (A few I haven't actually been asked yet...) Of course, no matter what you ask me, I will reply, but I may just copy and paste the answer out of this mini FAQ, then I'll add a personal response. =)

Here there are also questions that I'm asking other people for help with! But those are less important, so they'll be at the bottom.

How do I get past the Gate 2 Elements battles?
Arrgghh... yes they be tough indeed. You'll have Fei and Elly battling at Babel Tower and (preferably) Bart and Chu-Chu at Fort Jasper. For your first battle, make sure you get your equippment & gear parts straight. You'll need HP50s, and lots of Ether Armor... preferably as the alloy type you can get at a gear shop instead of the extra ether armor. Of course both are the best. =) You might also want FireVeil and maybe VeilDoubler accessories too... this will protect you against Kelvena's gear MarineBasher. For the actual battle, I advise boosters, and first ganging up on Dominia, (use your L2 combos) and then Kelvena... since Elly's straight attacks heal Kelvena, use her Fire Ether attacks. At the end of that, we move to Fort Jasper. No problems here, booster, then Bart's L2 combos. Chu-Chu can attack or heal... finish off Tolone (the flying one) first because she does a lot of damage. You should have no problems with this battle. After it's over, Billy will fire the Fort Jasper cannon, and... well, I don't want to spoil the story for you, but let me just say that the most exciting thing happens and... for some odd reason you have to take the battles over again. Again, get rid of Dominia first. Hopefully, after several tries, you'll survive the battle with disturbingly little fuel and HP to spare. Then put the game on pause, and go to the fridge and reward yourself with a nice snack... you've earned it! =) Oh, and get your six-year old little cousin to beat the last Fort Jasper battle... it's too easy for the likes of us, right? =)

How do I solve that numbers puzzle in the first Anima Dungeon?
I wouldn't insult your intelligence by just giving you the numbers... hehe, no seriously, just head back up the elevator to that tiny room where you turned it on just minutes ago. Touch the consoles on all sides (there are actually three), and you'll get a clear idea of what you're trying to do. =) I spent like thirty minutes playing with the durn thing too!!

How do I beat Hammer before he self-destructs?
You don't have to of course... you can escape, or survive the blast... both are easy to do. Now if you want that Trader Card, you have a much tougher battle ahead of you. You need to buy the low fuel / high output engines from Shopkeeper Johnny, have Citan and Maria in your party, and use the boosters... otherwise you don't have a chance. When he (all too soon, it seems) turns red, you'll need to smash him with three System ID attacks and either Maria or Citan's Level 3 Combo. There is a considerable element of randomness here, expect to have to try it several times. Needless to say, I was happy to finally dispatch Hammer... oddly enough, the story continues the exact same way no matter what you do. The Trader Card itself is a moderately useful item... it dramatically increases your chances of getting rare items when you encounter enemies. What this basically means is that you'll be getting lots of fangs and eyeballs and gold and things like that. Put it on Fei.

How do I beat Deus?
Let the sucker destroy himself. Seriously. When he hunches over, turn on System ID and finish him. You'll likely need your Frame HP50's of course.

How do I beat Ramsus and Miang in the Merkava Calls event?
Yes. I did it. I have come up with an almost fool proof way to defeat Ramsus and Miang! And it doesn't rely much at all on randomness (provided that Fei doesn't miss on his System ID attacks...)! Here it goes: Equip Fei, Maria, and Citan (that's who we're going to fight with) with the Alloy armor and the high fuel / low output engines from Shopkeeper Johnny. As for accessories, give Fei Ether Ar+3, an A Charger (this is the key item for my special strategy), and a Frame HP70. Give Maria and Citan two Ether Ar+3's, and a Frame HP70. To take on Ramsus: First, he'll cast "Wave #3 Demiser", which sound innocous, but it reduces your HP to one point. (!!) Use your boosters first, then your Frame HP70's. Have Citan and Maria X button and L3 him when you can, while Fei should go into ID mode and attack three times. If he does not have at least 1080 fuel by the end of the battle, reset and try again. Sit through yet another story bit (it gets incredibly tedious... that is, if you're not using my special strategy!!), then get ready for Miang. Cast boosters on Citan and Maria if you so desire... but not Fei, have him go straight into System ID... and do not attack. I am very serious, if you attack Miang, her defense and ether attack values skyrocket. Okay... so Citan and Maria are charging... now since Fei's in ID mode... charge him up too. If you put on the A charger like I said, he'll recover 500 fuel!! And if Miang attacks during this time, she'll do zero damage and her levels will go down!! Hahahahahahaha!! Charge Fei again. 500 more fuel. Okay now, you've broke even. Finally... (while Citan and Maria are still charging), let loose with a square attack. Then unleash system ID again and simply attack her three times straight. You'll be out of fuel, so then have Citan and Maria finish her off. My... aren't we powerful? =)
