I forget to say that the main problem you would meet it s that all the dialogue is in french. X_X
So here is a little walkthrough:
1/ Title screen is showing. Obviously, click on "Start game ! ^^
2/ Title scene screen : Prologue - The Twillight of a World.
3/ A girl is appearing. She is the holy maiden of the Aurarche and she is fleeing from soldiers.
4/ A brute appears. He is a legionnaire of the Black Empire. The maiden must defend herself.
5/ Bars appear at the top. The Maiden says that she must gather something called "Encaustique" for summoning the goddess of the Aurarche.
6/ Wait for your bar to reach 1000.
7/ The Maiden tolds you to push "P" for releasing her power. Press "P" for attacking.
8/ Once you push "P", the maiden use his magic but it s not very effective... (What ? He is a rock-type pokemon ?!!!)
9/ The maiden is weakened by her use of magic and nearly collapse. The legionnaire comes to catch her and she calls for help.
10/ Suddenly, a swordman man appears. His name is Lans and he is the protector of the Maiden.
11/ Lans : Bla...bla... you should run while you're still able to...
Legionnaire : Bla...bla... I'll kick your ass, you little *******...
12/ Lans notices that the legionnaire is ready to attack. He says you should push "M" to switch to a defensive stance.
13/ If you push "M", your bar will drop but the legionnaire will miss his attack. If u don t, Lans' head will be crushed by the legionnaire. (Poor Lans... T_T)
14/ Now Lans told you to switch down the defensive stance with "M" and to retaliate with "P" once you get enough "encaustique".
15/ Fight the legionnaire and hit him twice.
16/ New title scene screen : Acte 1 - Initiates of Dawn.
17/ Now the screen is displaying many complicate french words that even google translate would hardly translate. Pass the text as fast as you can.
18/ Black screen. Credits. Claiming that i m looking for help for the graphics... The Duel Mode is now open.

Some explanations about the X-NL Battle System:
Your white bar is not HP but "Encaustique Point" and act like action point too. When you get 1000 "EP" you can attack by pressing P. If you press "M", your EP will start dropping but you will dodge any attack until you deplete your EP. When you are hit, your bar turns red and instantly fullfills : you are in "merci status", you can t attack anymore and you ll die if you are hit a new time. You have to defend yourself, until the red bar drops out his 2000 EP and becomes white again.
