I am in a long stretch of the game where there are no shops. Need to get past the Iifa Tree and to the end of disc 2.
You got me replaying a little while back and I’m in pretty much that exact spot.
I have way fewer memories of this game, but I’m enjoying it more this time. Zidane mostly annoys me, though I appreciate the contrast with the more dour leads of VII and VIII. And his schtick actually becomes more charming the worse things get around him.
Also surprised how much I like Dagger on this playthrough. She’s got a solid arc and her development is surprisingly consistent - so many of the scenes revolve around her or Brahne that its rare for a scene to end without Dagger having changed in some way that affects her choices or dialogue.
Dagger is now queen since Kuja killed her stepmother with Bahmut. Zidane loves her but is afraid to tell her. We are now in Treno because the game is forcing me to play in a card tournament.
omg the first time i played 6 i got so frustrated at that part. its because when you select blitz and it starts to let you enter commands there is like no visual or audio feedback that that is actually happening.
You need to select Blitz. The cursor will point at Sabin, yes. Then you need to input the command for his Blitz, and then press A to confirm the command.
In this case, you need to use Pummel/Raging Fist, which is Left, Right, Left.
The way Blitz works is pretty unusual, but the payoff is nice.

Everybody knows what the real payoff of the Blitz command is. I won't say anything more, just in case anybody doesn't know and wants to find out for themselves.

Before Chris Redfield punched a Boulder, Sabin suplexed a Ghost Train.

The game was a little vague about where you need to go to get to the Returners. You just find out that Sabin went to the mountains through word of mouth.

I'm pretty sure all of Sabin's blitzes scale with his Magic stat. Some may do physical damage, but I think they still scale with Magic.

Yeah some do. Aurabolt, fire dance and the healing one I think. I remember because of how brave new world edited them to instead half be based on str and half on stamina.

I keep running out of ether.

I probably should have tried to go back to Conde Petie and stock up on potions.
I am at the part were you first get Sabin. I could not trigger his Blitz attack.

I can Blitz now. I made it to the Returners.

It is if you choose right.
Give Sabin a pair of Earrings and he wrecks faces with Aura Bolt.
That Yoshi P guy made a big deal of wanting to show the game off to show it was near completion and that was last year.
So if they're trying to avoid any "lol square" jokes I would think it out by next year.
...Earrings affect Blitz?...
The magical ones.
You've been killing dudes up to that point anyway.

I lost the card tournament. This happened.
I always found it very strange that half of FFIX's plot was secretly revolving around and building up to
And then...THAT happens. That's how it's resolved. So weird.
