Infinite number of Madain's Ring:
Before you get out of Fossile Roo, there is a little room where a man excavating and a moogle named 'Kuppo' is found. Talk to the guy, he will let you excavate if you give him a potion. Dig the spot that the man had been digging. You may have to dig up to 10 times, but you will eventually get Madain Ring, which you can sell for some extra gils, or use to learn some new abilities. Once you found a Madain Ring, talk to the man to quit. You should get out of the room first, so you can see the man excavating at the same spot again. Then talk to the guy and dig the spot to find another one. Keep repeating until you have...who knows how many Madain Rings you want and what kind of patience you got. Hope you found it helpful.
CORRECTION : Actually the location Madain Ring is found is quite random (But you are more likely to find the rings on the upstair, near the bridge). But You will definitely stock up on the rings as many as you can by digging around...
Easy Level Up For Zidane:
When at ispens castle, you defeat the monster and then go back into the castle to look for aramant, zidane will be alone. there is a monster in there that is a magician with a book and a gargoyle he brings to life. the trick is to have auto-regen and high tide and preferably level up on, begin a battle with this monster and just get hit till trance comes. when he reaches his trance use the best one, and it should hit 9999 on both the guys killing them. exp. for doing this is 29,000 with level up on it is 45,000 !!
Strategy for Ozma:
My party of choice was Zidane (76lvl), Freya(49Lvl), Eiko(61lvl) and Steiner(58lvl). Notice that none of them are subject to Level 5 death. The party members should have the following:
Zidane: Master Thief
Eiko: Phoenix with as many Phoenix Pinions as you can get (call it 'insurance')
Freya: Dragon Crest maxed out at 9999 (this is easy if you fight the grand dragons!)
Steiner: Shock (9999)
Also, ensure your characters are near trance. Particularly Eiko and Zidane. You don't need the fairy blessing. The attacks you'll be using will not be physical. Equip Auto-Regen on all of your characters. Do not equip 'auto-potion' as it wastes time and gives Ozma extra oppurtunities to attack.
The goal here is 'keep Freya and Steiner alive and attacking! This is what your characters should be doing:
Zidane: First round, steal. Hope for the 'Dark Matter'. If not, have Zidane toss the Dark Matter you have. After that, use Zidane to help Eiko keep Freya and Steiner alive and well. If Zindane trances, you might want to use him to attack. Solution 9 works wonderfully.
Eiko: Hold Eiko's action until Ozma acts. When Ozma attacks, heal, life, or Esuna the person required. When Eiko trances, you'll be able to heal / esuna / life faster. If more than one person dies, you might want to use 2 'full life' spells... alternately, you can use Phoenix to bring them back. Eiko is there to heal you and keep Freya and Steiner attacking. If no one needs healing and you're confident that Ozma's not about to do something painfully deadly, have Eiko Haste either Steiner or Freya. This should be done only when she's Tranced though, just in case you need to heal quickly.
Freya: Dragon Crest! Always. Hold your attack if she's mini'ed. If not, beat Ozma in his head!
Steiner: Shock! Always. As above.
Beat Ozma tips:
A good way to beat Ozma (with relative ease) is to do the following: We had Zidane, Steiner, Dagger and Quinna in the party, all at around level 80 (although Zidane at 90 as when your levelling up you can't swap him!).
We had Quinna use Magic Hammer every single time. It takes off a huge chunk of MP to start with, then gets less as Ozma's magic gets less. We had Zidane almost at trance so he trances after the first hit off Ozma, and perform his Grand Dyne Lethal, which takes off 9999, Steiner doing Shock which takes off 9999, and Dagger summoning Bahamut, in between healing.
If Ozma's attacks Flare Star and Metoer seem to be the worst, and Doomsday hardly did anything at that level. After a few rounds with Magic Hammer, Ozma starts performing Osmose to steal MP, which he then uses to cure himself. Keep hitting and healing after that using Quinna's Frog drop which at level 80 and 130 frogs equals 9999 damage, and Ozma is virtually paralized for the rest of the fight apart from healing himself. Then watch him fry! It took about 5 minutes but was well worth it. Also after stealing most of Ozma's magic and if Zidane and Steiner have used up most of their MP on Shock and Grand Lethal Dyne, and Dagger summoning Bahamut, there's not much he can steal from you, so he's pretty much had it!
If you beat him, you get the pumice which you can later get from Hades to enable Dagger to summon tha ark. After beating Ozma, and finding Hades he is then shocked you have defeated Ozma and fights you anyway, but he doesn't perform anything for the first few rounds, and then starts to count down to charging up his sword. In this time you could can get a round in of each person before the next number down (from 3-1). If you use Zidane's theivery (takes off about 6000), Steiners Shock (9999), Dagger's Ark (9000), and Quinna's Frog Drop (9999), you can kill Hades before he gets chance to use his sword on you. Easy!
It pays to be at level 80. You don't really need to be at any more than that, but it makes for quicker battles! and you get some good stuff at the end of it.
None of this would have been as easy if the chocobo hot and cold, stellazio, and freindly ghosts side quests hadn't been completed. They don't take long, and you can have fun, knowing you've not just played the main game, but all the mini games too.
Dead pepper:
You can also get them from the chocobo seated to the left of Fat Chocobo at Chocobo's Air Garden who will give you 99 Dead Peppers.
Doomsday:
When vivi has doomsday and nobody in the party can prevent or absorb it have steiner cast doomsday sword and it will only hit(attack) the enemy. also if the enemy casts reflect on itself have steiner cast a magic sword and it will go through the reflect. and Steiner must have auto-regen on and when he uses darkside he will take about 500 or so damage from him but since he has auto- regen he will get that amout of health back.
Level Up:
There is another easy way to get exp. on disc 3 while in Oeilvert when you fight the mirror creatures(the ones that send out copies of your characters), well if you kill the mirrored image, it will send out another and another and still one more, when the creature itself is attacked or stolen from(hint steal from it does less damage). keep killing these images. for each image that you kill you can get roughly 1500-1700 exp. the most i got was 9800 or so. just want to make sure that you have some SOFTS.
Beat Kuja and Nevron in a short time:
First off, you need the characters Zidane, Garnet, Eiko, and Steiner. You will also need the AT LEAST, 5 ethers and/or elixers and 1 Dark Matter from the Treno Auction House. You need to get all of these people up to level 65-80, (Zidane probably being higher then the rest.), and you need to have the secong highest weapon for Steiner, Ragnarok, which can be gotten only by using Chocobo. I recommend you use the Quina Lv 5 Death method OR just fight the enemies in Memoria for leveling up. **I know, it will be boring, but it will help. ^.^**
When you go to fight Tranced Kuja, use the 1 Dark Matter with Zidane and use the move "Shock" (A Swd Attack move with Steiner you recieve after equipting Ragnarok) untill he dies. Use Eiko and Garnet to heal both Zidane and Steiner. You could even assign each girl to 1 character. After Kuja is defeated in a matter of seconds, or minutes, and blows up the platform, you go to fight Necron. Pick the same characters you used for Tranced Kuja, and go into battle.
This is where the ether/elixers come in handy. Use them on Steiner so he can continue to use "Shock." Now, the name of the game here, is "Keep Steiner Alive as Long as You Can!!" Make sure you have the Magic Stones equipted on as many of the Abilities such as "Antibody", "Clearheaded", "Bright Eyes", etc., etc. as you can. Necron uses a move called Holy Cross, and not only does it hammer you down on the HP side, but it puts just about every bad Status effect on you as well. You definatly wanna have "Clearheaded" equipted though, so you can at least make commands after the attack.
Use Eiko to get rid of the status effects with "Esuna" and "Panacea", and use Garnet to heal the party with "Curaga". Make sure that when you use "Esuna" with Eiko, use it on Steiner first, so he can continue with his "Shock" move. Keep this stratagy up, keeping Steiner alive (not to mention everyone else ^_^) and you should be able to beat Necron within 5-10 minutes (depending on how many times you face him and at what level you characters are at.)
Easy Level Up:
Make sure you have the Mace of Zues equipt to Vivi so you can do the spell Doomsday, it doesnt matter who else is in your party just make sure Vivi is. Then go outside the entrence of Daguerreo, equipt two people with a pumice peice, wich you should have when your on the 4th CD, then equipt the other two character's with the Ninja Gear or Black Robe. This will make it so when you use the Doomsday spell you while the Grand Dragons outside of the entrance for 7,000-9,999 points of damage depending on your leveland will always heal the character's with the Pumice Piece and Ninja Gear on and will heal the character with the Black Robe on most of the time, making it so if the Grand Dragon ever get's a chance to attack you with his Thundaga spell you can just cast Doomsday right after it cureing your party to there max amount of HP, making it so you can get into 100 fights with a Grand DRagon and not once have to use Hi-Potions, Tents, Elixers, or Cure spells, the one stipulation to all this is that you'll need to ne packin alot of Ether's to keep Vivi's MP up.
Dead Pepper:
Ok,i receive so many emails everyday asking about where to find the dead pepper,so here it is :
You can get dead peppers during the chocobo hot & cold mini game once you already got the light blue chocobo or red chocobo.Please don't send my another question about Dead pepper since the answer already posted here.
Iron Man:
Limit Gloove is very effective against Iron Man (found inside Memoria) when he goes "helm devide" .
Summoning phoenix even though you're dead...:
You can summon phoenix evevn if Eiko is dead.You must know the phoenix technique.When you fight someone Eiko has to die last.It automatically uses phoenix.It looks a little different but its cool.
Card Game at Memoria:
You can play cards in memoria against a guy who has pretty good cards.Just press the square buttom when a ? appears. You can do this at 4 different places in memoria.
9999 Damage:
If you equp Reflect ring, reflect, and reflect X2 (i dont know if you need this) on Vivi and use flare on yourself it deals your opponent 9999 damage
How to make money by combining weapons:
Buy as many "Wrist" as possible at the village of Dali, and buy "Steepled Hat" in Mog Shop at Burmecia.Go to synthesis shop and make "Cotton robe." If you sell cotton robes at the weapon shop, you can make 610 gil a cotton robe. Wrist (130 gil) + Steepled Hat (260 gil) + mixing fee (1000 gil) -- you can get a Cotton robe. You can sell a Cotton robe by 2000 gil, so you can make money 610 gil by making one cotton robe.If you make up 99 Cotton robes, you can make money 60390 gil! In this way,you can get 180.000 gil in just 30 minutes !!!
Other Floor at Daguerreo:
Once you get the lever working again for yhe weapon smith walk around abit on that floor you will see a scholar in a room walk him to were the books are then go back to the room he was in. Walk around in that room you will see a ! over zidane
Angel Earrings:
In the Battle of Alexandria, Dagger has to give orders to the Knights of Pluto. If done corectly you can get "Angel Earings", so here's the order to give them in. Gather info "Blutzen and Kohel", Protect Town "Haagen and Weimar", Contact Lindblum for erinforcement "Laudo and Breireicht", Begin prepartion to fire the canons Dojebon and Mullenkedheim.
More places to dig in chocobos forest:
Once you get a red chocobo go to chocobos forest and you can climb the walls.
Level Up on Disc one:
On your way to burmecia through Gizamalukes Groto you can go climb the vine to enter the area where the grand dragons are. To beat them, have quina in your party and have her at 1hp, you can do this by killing her than using a phoenix down and it may give you 1hp or more, its random so keep trying. so what you do is get into a fight with a grand dragon and immediatly use Limit Glove which does 9999. after that do blizzara with vivi and the dragon should be gone, after every fight, save your game, and if quina dies, reset and try again, you can get to level 60 easily within a days worth of playing, (and youre on disc 1!!) and if youre too weak to start fighting the grand dragons, go in the forest and fight the birds until youre strong enough to fight the dragons, same process with the birds, save every time, it gets tedious, but its worth it.
"I'M SHARPENING MY KNIFE !!"
If you press square to call the moogle and then cancel on him a lot of times (let say...about 25 times), he says various quotes like: ''You're starting to tick me off, Kupo'', ''I'm sharpening my knife, Kupo'' and STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT, KU-PHEU!!!
Chimera :
In disc 4, Memoria hosts some decent things to fight, make sure you have Vaccines. Have body temp, antibody and level/ability up if ya want. Once you get in Memeria, run around the enterance by the save/tent ball. Fight Chimera, you can use Soul Blade with the Masamune and cast Death Sentence or if you are lucky use Steiner's Lai Strike and just kill him! While his lif is whitiling away steal to get items such as tents and garnets.
Free Medicine :
Instead of blowing all your money on potions and status-changing removers (e.g soft, antidote, echo screen etc) in shops, get all your medicinal needs in the Chocobo's treasure hunt in the Chocobo's Forest/ Lagoon/ Air Garden. It only costs 60 Gil per game (30 in the Lagoon if Choco hasn't learnt the Sea ability yet) and if you're quick -and lucky - enough, you can get up to 8 items in a 60 Gil game, whereas in a normal shop a single Potion costs a 100 Gil. It saves money, plus you can level up Choco's beak faster if you play more games. It's also a good way to get cheap gysahl greens ^_^
Card Game:
You can keep the cards you have in the card game by saving before every card game. So if you lose, you can just reset it and try again. This will raise your card ranking.
Restore large HP :
Equip on your healers (Dagger or Eiko) the ability CONCENTRATE (learn from Robe of Lords). When you equip this ability it will raise the magic effect of cure, cura and curaga. This can be useful in battles.
Jewels...:
Various type of jewels/gems can make your Summon do more damage than before.For example,if you have 99 Garnets in your inventory,Bahamut Summon will deal about 8000 to 9999 damage to the enemies !!! Here's the list:
Garnet = Bahamut
Amethyst = Atomos
Topaz = Ifrit
Sapphire = Fenrir
Peridot = Ramuh
Opal = Shiva
Aquamarine = Leviathan *
* Note that you can get 1 Aquamarine for every 5 Ores you place in the dragon statue,at Daguerreo.
Random Battles:
It works like19\20 times and this is the thing if you dont want any more random battles just walk a lil then press Triangle then Circle then walk a lil more and do the same thing it carries you quite a distance without and random battles.
Fast level building!!! WITHOUT CHEATING!!
1. Take Quina and have him/her learn Lv. 5 Death. The fastest way to do this is to go to the upper area of the Forgotten Continent, where it sticks out. It looks like a little arm pointing towards Vile Island, where the Yans are. You should encounter a Dracozombie, whom you can eat to learn the ability from.
2. Fight another Dracozombie, but before you kill it, K/O everyone in your party *except* for Quina and whomever you want to build levels with. Now let the Dracozombie cast Zombify (or whatever it's called) on Quina.
3. Now you should have the character you want to build levels with, and Quina, zombified. Kill the Dracozombie and goto the menu. DE-EQUIP auto-regen from Quina, as *any* form of health will hurt her. Equip both characters with Auto-Haste, Auto-Reflect, and Antibody. Equip the person you want to level up with Level Up, Add Status, and Ability Up.
4. Go to I believe they are called Popo's Islands. They are in the very center of Mist Continent, right by Gizamaluke's Grotto. Land on the edge of the mountain right in between 2 forests. It's a ledge with a small forest, grass, and another bigger forest, and that's it.
5. Run around in the grassy area until you encounter a Grand Dragon. As long as you are in the grassy area you will encounter them 100% of the time. If you aren't fighting them, you're in the wrong area, or in the forest next to the grass.
6. Now if you followed all the rules, simply wait for Quina's turn to come up, and cast Lv. 5 Death. Instant kill and you will then gain 35,280 EXP for the person you wanted to gain levels, since Quina cannot get EXP in Zombie state.
On top of that, the Level Up/Abilty Up/Add Status (Not sure which of the three does it, I believe it's level up) gives you half that of 35,280, for a grand total of 52,920 for your character. The best part is you are almost invincible while fighting. The Grand Dragon only has time for one turn before you can cast Lv. 5 Death. He'll either do Thundaga, which will be reflected off of you and hit him, Poison Strike, which will only do about 1,400, or he'll do the spell that attempts to give you poisen, I think it's called Venom Strike or something. Anyway, you'll just guard that. On the final note, when Quina is low on life, use a tent on the world map or in battle to heal it. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GIVE IT HP while it is a zombie. There you go! 52,920 a round. You can level up pretty quickly like this. Save a lot, because OCCASIONALLY the Grand Dragon will get a Critical Hit which does roughly 3,240 and can kill you if you are on a low level. And it can be a pain to re-zombify Quina. Also be sure to give whomever is gaining levels Auto-Regen, it really helps.
Defeating SoulCage at IIFA Tree:
Just Throw One Elixir on it,and it will die instantly.
Black Jack Mini Game
To access the mini-game, get to the post credits The End screen at the end of the game and enter R2, L1, R2, R2, Up, Right, Circle, Down, Triangle, L2, R1, R2, L1, Square, Square and Start.(note that it will not work if you try the short-cut-to-The-End method) After entering the button sequence, the Black Jack game should begin.
Black Jack Mini-Game
Level Up Faster:
Easily Defeat Grand Dragon With One Person(DISC 4)Equip Coral Ring. Equip antibody(ABILITY)Equip Level-UpEquip Restore Hp When you do this, the dragon will severly hurt you in a physical attack but cure you in THUNDAGA.You will recieve 35205 experience(I Think)
Learn An Abilities Faster:
Just equip all the equipments that lets you learn the same ability to your character,and you'll receive more AP than before.Also,don't forget to equip "Ability UP" ability to that characther. In this way,you will gain AP very fast and you will learn the ability to that character in just a few battles.
Desert Palace:
If you don`t want to fight an Antlion again (At the four sinkholes) while searching for Kuja`s palace, look closely at the four sinkholes. There`s one sinkhole where no 'sandclouds' come from, that`s the sinkhole to Kuja`s palace.
Peridot:
The Peridot will strenthen the Ramuh summon. The more Peridots you have, the stronger the Ramuh summon is.
Another way to gain EXP:
Istead of killing the other characters off in the battle, just cast zombie on them, it is just the same as killing them off because Zombie makes them undead, so they wont recieve any EXP or AP.
Better leveling tip:
Give characters Virus status ailment and it will have the same effect as having those characters be dead. (exp. will be divided between characterswithout virus!)
Freya's Dragon Crest Skill:
Actually,Freya's dragon crest skill becomes more powerful as your party keep defeating dragons.For example : Grand Dragon.You can found it outside daguerreo,and you can even kill it in a minute.Read this for more details.Notice that Freya's Dragon Crest skill can reach up to 9999 HP of damage.
Zidane's Thievery Skill:
Just like Freya's dragon crest skill,Zidane's Thievery skill can becomes more powerful as Zidane keeps stealing from the enemies.Also notice that Zidane's Thievery can reach up to 9999 HP of damage !!! Wow...
Frog Drop ?
Quina's Frog Drop Blue magic can becomes more powerful as Quina catches lots of frogs in the Qu's Marsh,or when Quina's level increases. Frog Drop has a 100% success rate (It's a Non Elemental Damage !) and the formula to calculate the damage caused is:
Quina level x amount of Frog(s) = HP damage
For example, if Quina is at level 40 and he has caught 50 frogs, the damage that Frog Drop will cause is 40 x 50 = 2000 HP damage.
Unlimited health and magic:
You need Zidane and Freya in your team, Zidane needs to have learned auto-life and sacrifice already, and Freya needs to know white draw. Now, just have your other team fight and cast their most powerful spells. Then when you need a recharge, Zidane can just slap on Sacrifice and everyone else is good to go, immediately after Zidane does his Sac, Freya should cast white-draw so that Z boy is ready to go again if you need a quick health boost right away. Heal Zidane and get ready to rinse. Obviously after the first time he comes back to life you'll need to waste a spell or item to bring him back -- no big, just cast Phoenix :)
Grand Cross:
Having a hard time with Necton`s grand cross-attack? Simply get all kinds of abilities like antibody, clear headed, insomniac and stuff. If you equip these, Necton`s Grand cross won`t even bother you!
Doomsday:
Having a hard time with Ozma's Doomsday attack ? Just simply equip Demon's Vest or Ninja's Gear (sold at Daguerreo weapon shop) to the entire party,and you'll not receive any damage from it ! You can even absorb it if you equip "Pumice Piece" to one of your characters.
Beating Grand Dragon :
Just use Quina's "Level 5 Death" blue magic,and it will die instantly ^_^
You can also kill all characters except Quina,and cast "Level 5 Death" to it,and you'll receive about 32000 EXP ! Don't forget to equip "Level Up" ability.
Cure your party with one cure:
If your party is weak,have Dagger or Eiko in your party and go to the menu and go to abilities. Go to Dagger's or Eiko's screen and you will be able to use cure,cura or curaga. When you press X on it, you will go to a new screen that will have the party's faces on it. So you press right and you will see that the hand will be on all of your characters. Then, you press X until your party HP is at max. By doing this, you won't waste that much MP when curing a member by him/her-self.
Easy Gain levels tip:
In the battle,kill all characters except the one you want to increase levels,then kill the enemies.In this way,all EXP point will go to that specific character.
Jump rope mini-game:
Have Vivi approach the girls jumping rope near the ticket both in Alexandria. Talk to them and they will let Vivi join them. Press X when the symbol appears over Vivi's head to jump. Keep jumping successfully to get Gil, rare cards, and other items.
Other endings:
End the game with the "Zeus Hammer" and/or the "Save The Queen" in your inventory to get additional endings.
Unlimited MP:
Have Amarant in your party and make sure he has learned the Chakra skill. Also, the minimum MP needed for this trick to work is 4 MP. Enter a battle and have Amarant cast Chakra on himself. For 4 MP, he will restore MP equivalent to about 20% of his maximum MP. Continually cast it until you get reached your maximum MP. Since you can do this to other characters in the party as well, you can end up will everyone with maximum MP.
Easy AP:
Walk around in the darkness for awhile in the field and forests around the town that has the auction house and lady who collects the zodiac signs. You will encounter a ghost. Give it some ore and you will win the battle, resulting in 10 AP.

If you find the Ragtime Mouse (it resides in wooded areas) and properly answer its questions, you can earn some extra Gil. Answer by choosing either "True" nor "False." The mouse will then give you Gil in return for each correct answer, as well as keep track of your percentages. Some locations the Ragtime Mouse have been known to inhabit include Gunitas Basin, Lindblum Plateau, Bentini Heights, Lucid Plains, Pualei Plains, and Alexandria Plateau. The rewards for correct answers in a row are:
Question 1: 1,000 Gil

Hint: Defeating the Iifa Tree:
When fighting the Iifa Tree, simply cast "Life" on it and it will die instantly. It is an "undead" creature, so "Life" is essentially "Death".
Hint: Defeating Ozma:
If you encountered all the spirits in Gaia and satisfied their requests go to Chocobo Aerial Garden (you will need a Gold Chocobo and a Dead Pepper). Examine the stone on the second platform and choose the third option, then the first option to fight Ozma. To defeat Ozma, put Zidane, Dagger, Quina and Eiko in your party. Have Quina use Magic Hammer three or four times to steal all Ozma's Magic Points -- from now on it cannot use any spells. Then, have Zidane and Quina attack and Dagger and Eiko heal (do not use summons, you need a large amount of MP in this battle). With some of patience (an half of an hour if you are lucky), you should defeat Ozma.
Hint: Defeating undead creatures:
When battling a creature of the undead type, use an anti-KO item and it will instantly "kill" them.
Hint: Gilgamesh:
Once you have completed the Chocobo side quest and found all of the treasures, go to Daguerreo. Talk to the four-armed man. He should say something about an "S-Rank" and run off. Follow him and talk to him again. He should give you the S-Rank Medal, and reveal his true self (Gilgamesh).
Hint: Quadruple magic attack:
When you get a reflect ring, have the four characters you regularly have in your party with learn "Auto Reflect". When they all have it turned on, cast a reflective party spell, such as Bio or any of the elements, at yourself, This will effectively quadruple the power of the spell on a single target. However, this is only helpful for lower levels and is virtually useless if you have great spells.
Hint: 9999 damage with Atomost:
The formula For Dagger's summon Atomost is as follows:
Full Animation: (30+ Party's number of Amethysts)% of enemies HP.
Short Animation: 2/3 of Full Animation formula.
For example, if you have 70 Amethysts, it takes 100% of the enemies HP off, with a limit of 9,999. This means an enemy with 12,000 health will lose 9,999. This is useful while training against Yans, Grand Dragons, and other difficult enemies.
Hint: Change Airship altitude:
Put the Airship on auto-pilot, then press Up or Down to change its altitude while flying to your destination.
Hint: Early Grand Dragon:
When you first go to Gizamaluke's Grotto on Disc 1, notice the ladder to the outside in the room with the Moogle couple. Once outside, it leads to an area with a fight involving a Grand Dragon, which definitely increases your level.
Hint: Steiner: Peeking:
When you reach Alexandrian territory as Steiner, he will be carrying a bag of rotten stuff. That is actually Dagger. When he goes to the corner of the alley, she will think of changing into her costume while he is looking forward. You will get an option for about five seconds to either keep looking or go to the other side. Within those five seconds, if you have good reflexes, you can also choose to look the other way.
Hint: Vivi: Chased by monster:
Defeat most of the monsters of Lindblum during the Festival Of The Hunt and go to the Business Center. You will see Vivi being chased by a very weak monster.
Hint: Vivi: Stronger MAGIC with Carbuncle:
Summon Carbuncle and then cast Fira or something reflectable. Usualy Vivi's Fira will do 500 damage. With everyone with reflect it will do 2000 and so on.
Hint: Zidane: Easy kills early in game:
Get the beast/bird/dragon/etc. killer. When you go to Lindblum the first time, you will probably have a Mage Masher. Go to the weapons shop and instead of buying the Mythril Dagger, purchase another Mage Masher. Go to the synthesis shop there and get an Ogre Sword. Equipping the killer with the Ogre Sword for Zidane can be lethal (about 400 to 700 for critical hits) until Disc 1 is passed.
Hint: Winning the Festival of the Hunt:
If you want Zidane to win the Festival of the Hunt, make sure to equip him with The Ogre. One hit should be enough to kill any monster in town. First, go to the end of the Theater District, wait in front of the barrels for a moment, then kill the Fang that appears. Next, go to the Business District and go north. Kill the Fang on the left side of the screen, then head down the right-hand path. You should see the Zaghnol. If not, exit and re-enter until it appears. When you go to kill it, Freya should appear to help you. Use her jump skill and have Zidane attack. If Zidane kills the Zaghnol, he will be catapulted into the lead. After winning, you will receive 5000 Gil.
If you want Freya to win, just kill Zidane. She will receive a Coral Ring.
If you want Vivi to win, follow these instructions exactly. As soon as you step off the tram, immediately get back on and head to the Business District. Head north, fighting as few monsters as possible, and take the left path into the church area. Kill the Fang that is there, then head back out. Vivi should run by, chased by a Fang. Kill the Fang that is chasing Vivi, then head to the right-hand path, where the Zaghnol is located. When you fight the Zaghnol, just have Zidane and Freya kill each other. With luck, Vivi should win the Festival and get a Theater Ship card.
Hint: Alexandria card:
You can get the Alexandria card after Alexandria is destroyed at the start of Disc 3. Go to the center of the town and talk to the girl who is chasing the boy. She will say that she does not need it and give it to you.
Hint: Ramuh and Shiva cards:
When you start Disc 3, go to the church with the bell and the Save Mog. Save, go onto the ladder, and pull the rope. You will get a Goblin, Fang, Ramuh, and Shiva cards.
Hint: Lindblum card:
After Lindblum is attacked in Disc 2, go north of the inn until you enter another screen. Go to the wreckage that blocks the path to the north. The Lindblum card will be lying around in that area.
Hint: Changing names:
You must have the Namingway card. Go to Daguerreo and go to the inn. There is a ladder behind the library. Descend and go left. Talk to the man on the left and he will offer you to change your names if you just show him the Namingway card.
Hint: Cloud and Squall reference:
After you complete the game with either ending, you will watch part of a play. The line "Neither Cloud nor Squall shall stop me." can be seen.
Hint: Cloud reference:
In Lindblum's weapon shop, Zidane will get a (!) over his head and mention something about a guy with spiky hair that had a sword just like the one on the wall.
Hint: Kain's Lance reference:
In Memoria on Disc 4, go past the save spot at the entrance and head for the door. Before you reach it, stick to the right against the wall. You will go in and find Kain's Lance. This Lance belongs to Kain from Final Fantasy 2.
Hint: Final Fantasy 3 music:
Buy Une's mirror and Doga artifact at the Treno Auction House. Go to the Black Mage Village. Enter the inn and talk to the Black Mage in front of the music box. You will hear a very old song until you stay in the village.
Hint: Final Fantasy 7 music:
After you crash the airship into the evil woods at the start of the game, go inside to hear a band play the music from Final Fantasy 7, during the parade for Rufus.
Wait about ten seconds after dying to hear music from Final Fantasy 7..
Quan's Dwelling Reunion
After the destruction in Alexandria by Kuja in disc three, return to Quan's Dwelling with Quina and Vivi in your party. Quina starts to dream about food and a conversation soon takes place on the patio. I won't reveal anything about this conversation but you will meet a very important person here and learn some profound things. After the conversation, search the stopped clock on the patio to find a Running Shoes.
Blessing Of The Dragon God
Head to the entrance of Daguerreo and then examine the mosaic, which deplicts the Water Dragon God. Zidane suggests placing Ore into the fountain. For every five Ores that Zidane put inside, you will receive an Add-on gem, Aquamarine. Aquamarine lets Dagger learn the powerful summon, Leviathan. Take note that this is cumulative. If you put four Ores in and come back later to put one Ore in, you will receive an Aquamarine also. So, it doesn't mean that if you put only one Ore in and not five Ores at the same time, you lose that one Ore that you put in for nothing. This is also a great chance to build up the number of Aquamarine in your inventory and increase the strength of the Leviathan summon.
Excalibur II
Reach the Terrace in Memoria within 12 hours. You will encounter a boss fight there. Defeat Lich there and quickly check the second pillar from the right. You should see a '!' mark appearing over Zidane's head. This mark indicates the position of the sword, Excalibur II. If you exceed the time limit, the '!' mark will immediately disappear.
Easy Level Up for Steiner
Make sure you have given up at least four of the Sellazzio's to the lady in Treno, so as to receive the Blood Sword. With this sword equiped, Steiner will recover hit points equal to what he hits his enemies for. On disc 2, after he and Marcus escape the cage, Alexandrian soldiers run towards Stiener to attack. With a turbo controller, have the X button pressed and just let the game play for a while. I let mine go for a day and when I came back, Stiener was at level 82 and I had 2.5 million Gil in my inventory... Not too shabby! As far as Marcus... let him die, he leaves the party anyways... and you may as well keep his equipment for yourself.
Soft Reset
I suppose anyone who has been playing any SquareSoft games will know this trick. This trick works for other Final Fantasties, Chrono Cross, Legend Of Mana and MORE. Are you fustrated of having to restart your PlayStation over and over again? Here is a trick that allows you to restart your game very quickly. Simply hold the four buttons at the top, as well as the Select and Start. In short, it is to hold L1, L2, R1, R2, Select and Start. The game will restart within seconds and the usual logo which says 'Published by Square Electronic Arts L.C.C' will appear.
Glitch: Walk through people:
Keep on running into someone (except for people guarding an exit or unexplorable area) for two seconds to walk through them.
