Location list V. Recognition VI. Legal VII. Contact Information ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I. Version History. Version 1.0 130106. - First version with complete list of every secret chest in the game. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ II. Introduction. Magical Starsign is a charming, if somewhat unremarkable, jrpg. One notable thing it has going for it is the sheer number of secrets stashed away in the game, several which have yet to be covered here on Gamefaqs despite the fact that the game has been out for over six years in the United States and for over five years in Europe. One of the cooler and better implemented features are the secret chests, or alignment chests, hidden throughout the game. While playing through the game, you'll likely find a few of them here and there, but without lots of patience (or a handy guide), you are probably going to miss most. As an obsessed completist, I find such a fate appalling, so I combed through every inch of the game to make sure I got them all. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ III. How to find a secret chest. To find the secret chests, you need to enter the area they are in while the planet you are on is aligned with its aura. For the light and dark planets, you need to enter the area during the day and night, respectively. Unless you love to wait for the planets to move, I'd recommend that you save the treasure hunting for when you have learned Celestial Swap. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ IV. SPOILER WARNING. This list has light spoilers for most parts of the game. While it doesn't specifically refer to the story, some of the listed locations will give you not too subtle hints about what's going to happen. None of the chests are missable, so you can go back to pick them up later if you missed them the first time. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ V.
