Because the content I've translated / scanned from this book is scattered across this blog on multiple pages, I've decided to put together a directory of the content in the book so readers can more easily find what they're looking for. Please note that as I haven't translated the entire book and god knows I probably never will, the unlinked sections below are not (yet?) included on this blog. If anyone's still reading this long-neglected blog, this would be the place to request specific translations in the comments, though! Prologue Q&A For Strangers in Paradise This section primarily teaches how to play the game so it's likely I won't be translating it.

The following passages expand upon existing Lufenian Report data.
The Strangers' True Identity
The Lufenians are using humans gathered from other planets to manage the balance of light and darkness in Cornelia. Without knowing this truth, Jack and his companions simply assume they are Lufenian, and consider Station 19 their homeland. In addition, their clothing (their starting equipment) are from their real homeland.
Mechanisms of Recreation
Lufenians use the term "reset" to describe using the power of the dimensional crystal matrix to go back in time and reconstruct the world. The Lufenians have used this technology to control the balance of light and darkness through trial and error. In the event of a reset, the lives and memories of the Cornelians are rewound, but a portion of their memories remain in the world as a black mist.
Interdimensional Collaborator
The collaborator who initiated the Stranger Project has often advised the Lufenians since then, while requesting energy in return. The identity of this individual is unclear, but they are undoubtedly someone who pays no mind to human dignity. That said, in a game derived from the Final Fantasy series, wasn't there a being with an interdimensional stronghold that desired the energy generated from battle...?
The Meaning of the Numbers in the Logs
The subtitle of each Lufenian report, following "Lufenian Log," is a number such as 01_0125. The first half of this number reveals the iteration number of the world, and the second half represents a time period (like Gregorian calendar years). "Report from Central" is a log written immediately after the final battle and Jack's reset of the world, and so from the number "20_0000" we can see that the world the game takes place in is the 19th iteration.
