Actually, I hope I'm wrong. I just remember the guide saying something like:
Sara plays very little of a role and she might become a larger part at some later time, but for now she'll be in Leon's memory. Also that Death mentions his "Master" (of who is obviously Dracula) but we never get to fight/see him either thus it almost appears to be one portion of a larger chapter with Leon. I do hope I am wrong about this.

He said play the game! A lot of books, .hack ones in particular won't give away stuff near the end.

As for Werewolf... I need to get ahold of that cd

Didn't have a chance to preorder.

I was just checking out the Bradygames strategy guide in EB during lunch...it's sweet. It has all the character art that Ayami Kojima did for the game (awesome stuff), and a huge, 2-sided fold out poster of the painting on the instruction manual cover/bonus music cd cover (the other side has a shot of Leon Belmont running). Shit, the guide's worth buying for the poster alone. I might get two.

The annoying thing about the SOTN pre-order stuff is that, when the Japanese version was first released, I read about the music CD and art book that was included in the package. Thinking that those items would never be released here in a million years, I spent $75 on the import just to get my hands on those goodies, despite the fact that my PS1 wasn't modded. Then I find out a few months later that they WOULD be included with the U.S. release as pre-order items. Oh, well. It was worth it to have a case with the original cover art, as opposed to the cheesy castle they put on the U.S. cover...

I have a couple of stupid questions.

Is there a way to get back to where I came from after using the magic tickets?

Is there a certain level your suppose to go to 1st or can you pretty much just pick a level and go?

I'm at a boss but I died. Then I just realized I can go anywhere. But I'm not sure if theres a certain way I should go 1st.

1. Dont think so, but there is a ticket you can buy that will take you to the place you last saved.

2. dunno, i went to the Sacred ruins house place, didnt notice if i could go elsewhere.

What boss are you at?

Question for you all - since there are no experience points, is there a reason to clear out all the enemies in previously-visited rooms? I find myself learning new combos every once-in-a-while, but I'm not sure if that is based on my kill count or is just random. So, re-clear rooms or not?

Only reason I can think of is to get a complete Monster Encyclopedia, and know what all of them drop (if they drop items at all). Other than that, just money I suppose.

Think I'll go play now!
