-- Breath of Fire V D-Ratio FAQ -- -- By Kouli {aka Ken, kenzhao99@yahoo.com} -- -- Final Version -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is D-Ratio? First of all, this is not D-Counter. D-Ratio is sort of like a rank that you get upon beating the game. When you beat the game, you will recieve a D-Ratio that is based on the catagories below. With higher D-Ratio, you can unlock doors that you couldn't open when you have low D-Ratio. Ryu starts the game with D-Ratio 1/8192. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The D-Ratio calculation splits into A, B, C, D, E, F and G catagories: A} Game Clear Time Within 8hrs = 10 Pts 8 - 9hrs = 9 pts 9 - 10hrs = 8 pts 10 - 11hrs = 7 pts 11 - 13hrs = 6 pts 13 - 15hrs = 5 pts 15 - 17hrs = 4 pts 17 - 20hrs = 3 pts 20 - 23hrs = 2 pts 23 - 26hrs = 1 pt 26 - higher = 0 pt B} EX TURN Acquisition Percentage * To obtain an Extra Turn, simply hit the enemy before it touches you 95 - 100% = 10 pts 90 - 95% = 9 pts 85 - 90% = 8 pts 80 - 85% = 7 pts 75 - 80% = 6 pts 70 - 75% = 5 pts 65 - 70% = 4 pts 60 - 65% = 3 pts 55 - 60% = 2 pts 50 - 55% = 1 pt Below 50% = 0 pt C} Map Completion Percentage 98 - 100% = 10 pts 96 - 98% = 9 pts 94 - 96% = 8 pts 92 - 94% = 7 pts 90 - 92% = 6 pts 88 - 90% = 5 pts 86 - 88% = 4 pts 84 - 86% = 3 pts 82 - 84% = 2 pts 80 - 82% = 1 pt Below 80% = 0 pt D} Number of Opened Treasure Box * The ones in Secret Dungeon Kokon Horay do not count. Above 42 = 10 pts 39 - 41 = 9 pts 36 - 38 = 8 pts 33 - 35 = 7 pts 30 - 32 = 6 pts 25 - 29 = 5 pts 20 - 24 = 4 pts 15 - 19 = 3 pts 10 - 14 = 2 pts 5 - 9 = 1 pt Below 4 = 0 pt E} Number of Saves 0 = 10 pts 1 - 2 = 9 pts 2 - 3 = 8 pts 3 - 4 = 7 pts 4 - 6 = 6 pts 6 - 8 = 5 pts 8 - 10 = 4 pts 10 - 12 = 3 pts 12 - 14 = 2 pts 14 - 16 = 1 pt Above 16 = 0 pt F} Secret Dungeon Kokon Horay * To get there, you have to get the ants to dig to the lowest level of Fairy Colony. It's way below the Entrance Room. B50F = 10 pts B46F - B49F = 9 pts B41F - B45F = 8 pts B36F - B40F = 7 pts B31F - B35F = 6 pts B26F - B30F = 5 pts B21F - B25F = 4 pts B16F - B20F = 3 pts B11F - B15F = 2 pts B6F - B10F = 1 pt Below B5F = 0 pt G} Game Clear Level This catagory is different, all you need to do is to add Ryu, Nina and Lin's levels and divided by 3. Example: Ryu is Level 60 when you beat the game, Nina is Level 60 and Lin is Level 60, {60+60+60}/3= 60 But the maximum point you can get for this catagory is 50 points, so It's will be 50 points in this case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finally, You add the point you get from A, B, C, D, E, F and G catagories. D-Ratio: 100 pts = 1/4 95 pts - 99.99 = 1/8 90 pts - 94.99 = 1/16 85 pts - 89.99 = 1/32 80 pts - 84.99 = 1/64 75 pts - 79.99 = 1/128 70 pts - 74.99 = 1/256 65 pts - 69.99 = 1/512 60 pts - 64.99 = 1/1024 55 pts - 59.99 = 1/2048 50 pts - 54.99 = 1/4096 Below 50 pts = 1/8192 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Me -CJayC -Japanese BBS -Jerel{aka, Genji Masamune} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This Document Copyright 2003 Kouli
