I don't know. Ajora has a pretty good chance if there is one.Remember that Ajora is possessing Ramza's sister so that gives them pretty easy and digestible conflict. Delita would be more interesting but y'know.

That's what I thought, but when I first carry Galbadia's rules into Dollet and challenge someone to mix rules I get the message "open has spread in this region" which is all fine and good. Now next I want to get Dollet to drop Random, so I go back to Timber (Galbadia) and ask to play cards with the guard there over and over again until he stops asking me if I want to mix rulesets, I should be carrying Galbadia's rules with me now. However when I go back to Dollet nobody I challenge there even asks if I want to mix rules at all and if I go through with playing them random is still there.

I read that because the only rules Galbadia has are open and same AND since Dollet already has open and same (among other rules) I'm not introducing any new rules to Dollet so therefore I can't mix Galbadia with Dollet and will have to introduce something new like sudden death from elsewhere. Sorry if this is confusing I had to read a GameFAQs guide several times to get my head around it.

Yeah there isn't much you can do in that situation without going to get another place's rules. If you managed to get the Card Queen to Dollet, you can try to have her abolish the rules in the region.

I'm assuming you're on Disc 1 and about to head to Galbadia Garden? One thing you can do is to progress through the game and go into Galbadia Garden, then play with the hockey player at the ice rink locker room. He'll have Trabia's rules (Plus/Random). You can use him to abolish rules at Dollet, but it'll take a lot of running back and forth. Alternatively, since none of the CC group will use Galbadia's rules, just use him to spread Plus to Galbadia, and use Galbadia's rules to abolish Dollet's. You can always get rid of Plus later (Deiling is actually a prime place to do it, since there's a woman near the hotel that carries FH's rules. You can use her to get rid of Galbadia's Plus, since Deiling uses Galbadian rules).

Have you tried spreading in Dollet multiple times? There's a low but nonzero chance that the first person you talk to will just say "gently caress Galbadia's rules, we're playing with Dollet's" and you never get a chance to spread even though you're carrying Galbadia's rules.

Yeah I must have tried it 10 times. I'm just going to move on for now and come back to it later, I already got the Siren card from the dude in the pub despite the lovely random rules and got the QoC to introduce all. I've already spent 2 hours trying to get this done but since I don't need anything else in Dollet for the moment I'm moving on.

After refusing to mix rules in Timber, are you playing at least one regular game in Timber using their rules? You need to play at least one match to "carry" that region's ruleset with you. You don't actually need to complete the match however. Going into the triple triad menu and quitting is enough.

Good luck then. You're probably right in that you need a rule that's not familiar to both regions. For future reference, this was my triple triad bible during my last playthrough (on pc as well). It tells you exactly how to abolish rules in each region and basically removes any guess work.

Once you're done, it's not a bad idea to use the hockey player to abolish Trabia's rules; it makes getting the Selphie card much easier, and you'll want to modify Trabia's rules anyway to make the CC exploits on Disc 4 easier.

You can also abolish FH's rules, but I'd actually advise against it. FH only has Sudden Death and Elemental, neither of which are major threats, and you might need them to get rid of Lunar's rules. Feel free to spread Open, though.

On Dollet's rules: It doesn't start with Same, so if it has that regardless, then you also spread Same there (in addition to Open), and that's what's been loving you up with trying to use Galbadia's rules. As suggested, go with the Trabia exchange student in Galbadia Garden's locker room; they'll have Plus and Random, and Plus will get you where you're going. (Just don't accidentally spread it too.)

If you want to abuse the game's lovely random number generator in your favor, then do this:

1. Go pick up Trabia's rules by going challenge/no until they stop offering to combine, which will typically take around 8 challenges. 25% chance, checked on challenge (dialogue with square, regardless if you say yes or no and get to the game menu), of pushing the carried rules back, and there's a "most recent" and a "second most recent" slot it keeps them in.

2. Go back to Dollet and save upstairs in the pub (Move-Find needed). Since you've gotten the Siren card from the pub owner, you've unlocked his secret card playing room which is handy for consuming random numbers deliberately. Also the Queen of Cards is in Dollet (this affects RNG manipulation, since every challenge in the QoC's region uses an extra random number to see if that region adopts her personal trade rule).

3. Do a hard reset. This is basically any means of resetting the game from a console level, such as power cycling, launching an application, choosing "reset game" from a PS3/emulator menu, etc. I don't know how the PC version offers that function but I expect it does. If necessary, closing and relaunching should do it.

- In contrast, a soft reset is resetting the game without doing that, which basically means the key combo of shoulder buttons + select + start, or getting a game over.

4. Because FF8's RNG is dumb, the hard reset sticks it at a specific place. We're gonna take advantage of that and deliberately use random numbers as follows. In between any of these you'll need to go back and repeat steps 1-3. These instructions will work with your scenario (QoC in Dollet, Open already spread to Dollet, carrying Trabia's rule set of Plus/Random).

Abolish Same: Of the three, this one's the biggest pain. March into the secret card playing room and start clicking on the magazine stack right next to the door entrance. If you hard reset correctly, it should give you items on clicks #5, #14, and #17. It stops using random numbers once it's given you 3 items per visit to the room, so after you get the third item on click #17, leave and re-enter the room. Click the magazine stack 5 more times (you should get a fourth item on click #2 in this round) to hit a net total of 22 loving clicks. Challenge the pub owner to cards and say no, 1 time. Challenge the pub owner to cards, say yes, and quit from the rules screen.

- If you do this first, you can safely use Galbadia's rules instead of Trabia's to get rid of Random and Elemental. They'll work too.

Abolish Random: March into the secret card playing room and click on the magazine stack a whopping 1 time. Challenge the pub owner to cards and say no, 2 times. Finally, challenge them to cards, say yes, and quit from the rules screen.

Abolish Elemental: March into the secret card playing room and click on the magazine stack 2 times. Challenge the pub owner to cards and say yes, then quit from the rules screen. (There is no challenge/no used at all.)

Some games didn't have an opposite number. Prishe from FF11 and Shantotto were on the same side. Gabranth in the first Dissidia didn't have Vaan as an opposite, he had Shantotto as the two representatives of the relatively recent FFs. I for one don't want Delita in a Dissidia game.

No, just from that region.

Honestly the Lunar Base rules aren't that bad if you're smart about Plus, especially since there's Open in play. Same is the most annoying one for me. Also the long run from the save point to Ellone if you end up goofing and losing a level 8 or higher card due to Same/Plus shenanigans.

Here's an example for abolishing Same: our goal "asks" are as follows (with # being the number of RNG checks since resetting it with a hard reset):

#29: 170 (try to spread Open)
#30: 136 (try to spread Sudden Death)
#31: 60 (try to spread Same, then try to abolish Same)
#32: 89 (< 128 so abolishment succeeds)

Which boils down to:
- Open must not be spreadable
- Sudden Death must not be spreadable
- If QoC in region: hard reset the RNG, use 25 numbers somehow, then challenge (26, 27, 28)/yes/quit
- If QoC not in region: hard reset the RNG, use 26 numbers somehow, then challenge (27, 28)/yes/quit

In the instructions from my previous post, it basically said "use 17 numbers from the magazine stack, leave and re-enter so the magazine stack keeps working, use 5 more numbers from the magazine stack (up to 22 numbers used now), challenge/no once (25 numbers used, since QoC in region), challenge/yes/quit (the asks land where we want them to, per above)."

There's plenty of flexibility in the "use ____ numbers somehow" part.
