[ Using Modes : Multiple Character Conversations ]
Difficulty: Easy
Assume that you want some NPCs to converse more than once with your Main Character. Maybe, on occasion, you can only obtain an item from a character or object if you've interacted with it 3 times. This can be done very easily by using Modes. The example below shows how to make an NPC say 3 different sentences and then loop back to the first sentence.

How To Get There
Main Menu >> Characters & Items >> People >> Character Editor >> Create New Data >> New >> (Choose any Gender)

Directions
(1) Press L1 so that you are taken directly to the 5th Menu: NPC & Event Codes. (Or Press R1 until you reach this Menu)
(2)There will be a total of 3 Modes. Press the + Icon 3 Times.
(3) Mode 1/3:
To the Mode Editor >> Edit >> (Enter some conversation text)
Event Code >> New >> New >> Property Control >> Modify Mode >> (Character's Name) >> Mode No. 2 >> OK
(3) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Event Code Data >> Yes
(4) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Mode Editor Data >> Yes
(5) Move to the Next Mode (Press the pink arrow right in the top left corner)
(6) Mode 2/3:
To the Mode Editor >> Edit >> (Enter some conversation text)
Event Code >> New >> New >> Property Control >> Modify Mode >> (Character's Name) >> Mode No. 3 >> OK
(7) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Event Code Data >> Yes
(8) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Mode Editor Data >> Yes
(9) Move to the Next Mode (Press the pink arrow right in the top left corner)
(10) Mode 3/3:
To the Mode Editor >> Edit >> (Enter some conversation text)
Event Code >> New >> New >> Property Control >> Modify Mode >> (Character's Name) >> Mode No. 1 >> OK
(11) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Event Code Data >> Yes
(12) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Mode Editor Data >> Yes
(13) Press the Circle Button to Exit >> Save Character Data >> Yes

It's that Simple!
Notice the Mode Changes shown in Dark Red.
Mode 1/3 Changes to Mode 2
Mode 2/3 Changes to Mode 3
Mode 3/3 Changes to Mode 1
This allows your Main Character and NPC to have a different conversation each time the speak with each other.

[ Using Modes with Variables : Display OFF/ON ]
I finally figured this out, but I wont post it yet, because it's a bit long and I need to eat some dinner Look for it in a few hours or so.
