Oh boy :allears: FFIX is my favourite Final Fantasy game and one of my favourite RPGs of all time. It's so...charming, with an insane level of detail, a brilliant cast and one of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard. Such a shame the loading screens let it down. So glad to be here on ground level.

I urge everyone to click all the tindeck links in every update. The music in FFIX is gorgeous and helps set every scene.

Also, FFIX has an amazing attention to detail. Many of these little bits of dialogue, these seemingly unimportant NPCs and tidbits of lore you can find in the prologue will all come into play later in the game. FFIX rewards those with long memories.

Don't think the game ever really tells Steiners background but just in case I'm spoilering it: According to the wiki he got his position by beating Beatrix in a duel and won through dumb luck. As a prize he became the captain of the knights of pluto.

I don't think that ever comes up in the game.

Speaking of stealing, I'm just about to fight Hilgigars in my current playthrough.

Most of you that have played through disc 2 probably have eyes twitching right about now. This is always the worst fight. :sigh:

That was the first boss with the 1/256 chance of stealing[ his fourth item right?

Steiner and Vivi make such a great team. The Tantalus crew are fun as well, you can really feel the camaraderie even whilst they're beating the crap out of each other or talking poo poo to each other.

It's a shame Magic Sword uses Steiner's low MP rather than Vivi's larger pool, it'd be even better if that were the case.

Yeah, this game practically throws ethers at you left and right. There's pretty much no reason to worry about your MP.

But what if I need them later?! :ohdear:

Not gonna lie, 11 year old me got something like 4 Game Overs against the first boss. Compared to the openings of FF7 and FF8, the Evil Forest is hard.

Also, Vivi uses an old church to gain access to Alexandria's roofs earlier on.

The whole Regent thing bothered me, since a Regent is just someone who rules in the interim because the actual ruler is a minor/absent/incapacitated, while it's pretty clear that the Cids are actually the Kings.

Might be a Gondor thing going on.

Seems brave to me, I had to retry the Festival of the Hunt due to lacking the damage output with Zidane. Good luck though!

Don't you get better prizes if Zidane loses?

If we have the only airship in the world that can travel without Mist, how did all these people even get to Daguerro in the first place :psyduck:
