I'm pretty baffled about why they created this elaborate minigame that can be played from here all the way to the very end of the game, and didn't give you any way to turn it into useful stuff for the 'main' gameplay.

... Why?

I love this game, but due to the time investment I have really only finished it the one time. I've picked it up 3 or 4 times since then, though.

Speaking of completionism, in that playthrough I missed out on one of Zidane's abilities for the entire game. It's the second one on his list, iirc. There is an item is it the mage masher, or is it a butterfly sword or something? that you straight up can't get after the first couple hours of the game. Since I didn't buy it in a store I just never got the ability that is tied to it. Kind of a major thing to miss.

If anyone is playing along for the first time, buy 2 of everything and don't sell anything.

Yes, FFIX is utterly terrible about locking you out of poo poo suddenly.

I don't like those ocremix albums because the quality is always all over the place and each track is a completely different genre so they don't flow well at all. There are a few good tracks in there but most of them are pretty standard ocremix techno or heavy metal bullshit.

Also that cover art is pretty bad.

Download, get the tracks you like, and then discard the rest?

My theory is that the costumes they wear are actually an important part of the ritual but that got forgotten over time and everybody thinks the traditional garb is just symbolic.

So when Freya tries it in her Dragoon/Knight getup the whole thing goes oglop shaped.

'Rose of May' is a really great track.

The track's title was also often mistranslated as 'Loss of Me'. Which strangely still fits thematically, I guess. Especially in this scene.

Note also that most people on the Mist Continent live way ABOVE the mist, on mountains and cliffs.

The one notable exception is Burmecia, which has the eternal rain thing going on that kinda makes mist difficult.

I really like the sense that something went very deeply wrong with the civilisation in Mt. Gulug and they all suddenly vanished, replaced with ghosts, poisons monsters, and of course the Red Dragons.

I want anime hair that never tangles, is light enough that you can grow it to your hips without ever being encumbered by it, and can be sliced apart like warm butter (and perfectly evenly too!) if you ever wave a knife in its general direction.
