Man, I remember haaaaating that first Black Waltz fight. I wasn't prepared to lose my entire team.
Anyway, great job on the LP so far! I only played through this game once, so most of this will be sort of new to me.
That first black waltz fight's all about strategy. When I first played I didn't play RPG's enough to know I had to grind - took me two tries to beat him. The worse was just figuring out which one to take down first.
Has anyone else seen the modernized movie version of Romeo and Juliet? With Leonardo DiCaprio (I think)?
Anyways, the dialogue is exactly the same as the original, but the setting is modern. The thing is, characters use specific names of weapons ("Put down your swords! You know not what you do!"). The solution? All the characters wield guns that are labelled, literally labelled, as swords. I remember, for instance, pistols labelled as 'rapiers'.
To bring this tangent back on topic, I hereby propose that people in FFIX do just the opposite, and use swords labelled as guns.
Therefore, I propose that Garnet be named 'Pistol'.
No other FF character has had the testicular fortitude to play grab ass with the leading lady, but Zidane did. Coming off of FFVIII the characters in IX were really a breath of air. Not the I didn't like VIII, I just admire how the characters of IX have so much, well, character.
That would only be an issue if one didn't spend 20 hours setting every area's rules to Open.
I'm not usually an obsessive person but that had to be done. I consider it a fair trade off considering the first time it took me over ten hours to get the card from Ellone on that accursed space station.
I love's me some Triple Triad and firmly believe that if it was the offical card game of FF XI that it would have triple the base it has today!
Tetra Master is ok. Triple Triad is the stuff of kings. Me and a bunch of super dorks printed out our own cards and played it every once in awhile. Good times!
My old forum had a 100% custom Triple Triad mod. It was built by our coder dude, and it was basically an online version of the game built for vB. There were some 900 cards of characters and monsters from every FF and even characters from KH and other games. The really cool bit though was that every member had a card of their own, and the stats for said card were generated based on forum features - post count, user group (mods worth more than registered users, jailed/banned users worth less) and so on and so forth. Also dealing 'final blows' or impressive manuvers with specific user cards allowed you to level up a stat - change a 7 to an 8 or whatever - but within tight constraints to stop it from breaking the game.
Posting on the forums earned Gil. Gil had lots of applications, like paying to buy more standard avatar packs, the right to change custom avatars, your name, whatever, but the main application was to buy booster packs of TT cards. It was cool as it had an ever-growing collection aspect thanks to new users registering and 'generating' their cards after getting the required 50 posts, and real tournaments vs other people, etc etc. Only bad thing really was the lack of AI to practice against. Challenging someone would be just like sending a PM, and games could either be played like postal chess (one move every time you log in across a long time), or instantly when you're both online. You could bet gil on matches and stuff and of course the rules of what you lose in terms of cards at the end of each match were all built in too.
Even funnier, we were working on a version of Tetra Master, too.... every card on the server actually has dual stats, with hidden TM stats there ready to 'activate' if we ever went and made the game. Sadly the forum (like all FF fansite forums) are now very quiet with only some of the oldest of oldbies left, but the game is totally intact.
I also own real life versions of both Triple Triad and Tetra Master. The real life version of TM is mindblowingly complicated to play.
I don't understand this game. I recently tried playing this and it seems so shitty. I played for like 10-15 hours and the game was insanely slow, had a lame childish story, and boring simple combat.
How is this a Final Fantasy? Does it get better later? I go to the point where the guys were inside the big mountain city with all the airships and the king was a little goblin guy.
I can't believe this came after FF7.

I never had this problem. It always seemed to be the second time in the game that Zidane trances. I'm talking like clockwork.

I can't believe this came after FF7.
I also cannot believe 9 came after 7. That shit be crazy.
Why in the hell did they make the trances automatic, anyway, when limits had been optional ever since their introduction? My trances almost invariably showed up during the last couple of rounds of fighting some peon.
I can understand they didn't want to get into a situation where you just tranced everyone out at the start of a boss fight, but the trances only lasted a few turns anyway IIRC, and they could have just made them not quite so powerful.
Simply because I think they were scared that trance being something you could choose to activate would pose a problem. It wasn't entirely optional before anyway, as in 7 once you had your limit it replaced your regular attack (iirc?) so you were forced to use magic and stuff instead.
The other thing is trance is meant to be a surge of emotion, so the idea is it only shows off after you've been beaten on for a certain amount of damage or during certain preset story moments.

I don't know about that... once you get to the Iifa tree the story really takes a turn towards incomprehensible.

Exactly - that's why it always seemed so dumb when some little poke from an enemy you'd been fighting hordes of for hours set it off.
Maybe they should have made it to where only certain attacks, or attacks by certain enemies, could trigger Trance. In any case it was a relief when they made the overdrives in 10 optional. Of course, they weren't nearly as overpowered in that game, either.
Well, perhaps. It makes sense in my eyes, though. Every hit is another hint of anger or whatever, and if your health is critical it rises even faster still. Indeed, the system in FF9 (like FF8) can be abused if you just keep your health critical, though not as bad as in FF8 as in that game you just had to sit there with low health... in FF9 you actually have to get attacked and damaged with it.

Yeah, the insane damage coupled with the fact that it was so easy to pull them off took away a lot of the challenge in FF8, not that any modern FF's are particularly hard aside from Omega, Penance, etc and minigames (I'm glaring at you, FFX-2).
God I am such an FF fanboy, I am giddy like a schoolgirl in anticipation of FFXIII. I am praying they have something along the lines of the monster arena goodness in FFX.

I had a hard time deciding which ridiculous name to give Garnet to replace her default ridiculous name.
"As long as you keep letting me walk behind you I don't care what you call yourself."
"It's due tomorrow and if we don't finish it, Mr. Edwards is going to be really mad!"
"That's all wrong. Let me tell you how it really went." </princeofpersia>
"Good. Now try saying, 'Take me now, you monkey-tailed stud!'"
A short trip to the town later...
WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
"Aww, but Bowie, they could be grinding grain down right this second and we're missing it!"
So where are we, anyway?
Welcome to Dali! Our main exports are melting clocks and funny mustache styles!"
Bowie: "Hey, I know she's cute, but it's rude of you to stare."
Innkeeper Hal: "Oh, I-I wasn't looking at the young lady. I was
just... The room is right over there. Make yourselves
at home."
Shiny: "Um...Bowie? Where will I be staying?"
Bowie: "In the same room. Where else?"
Shiny: "But, Bowie... I mustn't..."
"Country inn rules also dictate you need to sleep naked. Unless your name rhymes with 'Jawsome' or 'Bibi' or 'Glowie'. Weird, I know, but I don't write the laws!"
"Tell me if you have a gag reflex."
Lind Blum? Isn't he the guy who does a voice in almost every anime and video game dub?
When Lou Dobbs heard this line was in the game, he burst into a Gamestop and began snapping all the discs in half. It took three cops and a tranq gun borrowed from animal control to stop his reign of terror.
"His d6 hit dice are nothing compared to my d10s!"
Surprisingly, she says no.
Vivi's asleep, so everyone decides to follow suit. In the morning, Bowie is awakened by 'beautiful singing' and find everyone left already.
"Hello Exposition-Enabling Cat, how are you today?"
"As you can tell from me talking to you Exposition-Enabling Cat, I am not doing as well as you, being a cat, or indeed your average townsperson. I am unhappy, and also need money."
"By talking to you, I have formulated an idea that I may enact in order to fix my current situation!"
"Thank you, Exposition-Enabling Cat! You're the best!"
Exposition-Enabling Cat!
And we bump into Shiny at the weapon shop:
Bowie: "Shiny..." (What's she looking at?)"
[It takes a moment before she notices him over her shoulder.]
Shiny: "Bowie!?"
Bowie: "You got a fever or something? Your face is all red."
Shiny: "I-It's nothing. I'm fine."
Bowie: "You're acting strange..."
Shiny: "What?"
Bowie: "I get it!!! You changed the way you talk! You still sound funny, though."
Shiny: "I just started! I'll master it soon enough!"
Shiny: "I did fine in the play, didn't I?"
Bowie: "Oh yeah, I thought you sure know how to fake it!"
Shiny: "Fake!? How insensitive! I love Lord Avon's
plays. I've seen all of them. 'I Want to Be Your
Canary' is one of my favorites. I even have all
the lines memorized! I shall...I'll learn soon
enough."
Bowie: "Geez, you don't have to get so mad. I'm sorry.
We need to decide what to do from here. Will you
go back to the inn?"
Shiny: "What about you?"
Bowie: "I'll head back soon."
Shiny: "Alrighty. I'll catch you later."
Bowie: (Good! You sound just like a normal village girl.
Crossing the border might not be so tough after all...)
And then we find Vivi
"And well-known in all the VD clinics!"
The last screenshot is a bit confusing, but someone just kidnapped Vivi!
"...in my pants."
"What was that?"
"In this town."
"Oh."
NO. NO SHE IS NOT.
Awesome: "Firewood stacking duties are complete! I await your
command!"
Dutiful Daughter Slai: "It's my job to clean the bar. Why are you
doing all this?"
Awesome: "S-Sorry. Well, now that you have time, would you
introduce me to some adults, like your father?"
Dutiful Daughter Slai: "My father won't be back until nightfall.
All the other men are also working. They
don't come here during the day."
Awesome: "Pubs are supposed to be a prime source of information...
Ahem! I need not ask an adult. Let me ask you a question!
I need to know what transportation method people use in
this village. I cannot tell you the reason, but there is
someone I must escort to the castle."
Dutiful Daughter Slai: "Are you from Alexandria Castle?"
Awesome: "Indeed! I command the queen's Knights of Pluto!
Dutiful Daughter Slai: "Knights of Pluto...? Oh. Well, if you're
from the castle, I guess it's okay to tell
you... Please go to the observatory on top
of a mountain on the outskirts of the
village. An old man named Morrid lives
there. He takes care of the cargo ship."
Awesome: "Cargo ship!? So, that piece of junk flies to this
village! Thank you!"
Dutiful Daughter Slai: "Wait!"
Awesome: "Yes?"
Dutiful Daughter Slai: "Thank you for cleaning."
Awesome: "Nay, it is I who should thank you for your assistance. I
must make haste!"
Concerned about where Vivi is (and not at all concerned about where Awesome is), Shiny and Bowie set off to find him.
I think Vivi shrank and fell down the tube. Oh Christ if we need to shrink ourselves to go inside this tiny dungeon I'm quitting.
"That...doesn't actually answer my question."
"I mean besides the Soylent Green factory and the Assassin's Guild and fact that Rapist's Fancy magazine is published here."
One hidden passage later:
Bowie and Shiny overhear two goons are talking to an invisible Exposition-Enabling Cat because they talk about how weird it is that 'this one' is still moving, and how it's 'the guys at the castle's problem'.
My God, we've stumbled upon the Vlasic Pickle packaging facility!
Just when Bowie is going to bust some heads, Shiny drags him off to the last screen and tells him not to cause trouble yet. She wants to find out what all this has to do with the castle. Bowie agrees, reluctantly. I can't disagree with him too much. We're like seven hours* in and we've been in like four** battles!
*At this point, like two hours.
**Easily three times that!
Okay, still not a lot.
A room notable only in that I got swag here.
The screen goes black as they free Vivi, because the animators didn't want to spend their time animating something that would only be used once. Lazy bums!
"Or, you know, lighting them on fire. Whichever."
A patchwork egg, no less. What the fuck is going on?

FF IX is soo good. If only it had Triple Triad instead of shitty Tetra Master it would be the best FF timewaster game ever.

Actually FF9 is considered a return to what Final Fantasy was before 7, with a more low-tech, traditional knights and princesses fantasy setting.
