Party was between level 50 and 60.

Ironically Kujas Gligar looking pet was the hardest part about the endgame. The actual final boss was surprisingly easy.

Grand Cross didnt give me nearly as much trouble as I was worried it would.

Team was doing great, but Zidane hit trance and blasted the final boss with like, four or five straight Grand Lethals hitting for 9999 damage each time. And Eiko coming in the back with those heals.

(Side note: PC version is gorgeous, but they REALLY upscalled Garnets ass. It may be the most detailed texture in the game >_>)

Also who did Vivi sleep with to have all those kids?

I ended up liking Eiko a lot more than I remember. Shes fucking adorable. Im happy with the ending they gave her.

....I had no idea that was an outdoor stage...

Great game. Great cast. So glad to finish it finally lol

i wish eiko was a bit more unique
dagger and eiko are both summoner/white mage hybrids so they feel very similar
i mean eiko is a better white mage and dagger is a better summoner but you get my point.

Well, there are two additional scenes, each requiring a certain item in you inventory, but like what has been already said, they last only seconds. They are;

Hammer: - Recieve after returning 13th Stellazio to the Bird Woman in Treno
- The additional scene is Baku and the rest of Tantalus preparing to perform the play "I Want To Be Your Canary"

Save The Queen: - Synthesise this sword with Hades in Memoria, using up x1 Javelin and x1 Silver Gloves, and 50000Gil
- The additional scene is Beatrix in Princess Garnets bedroom laying her Save The Queen down on a table, therefore declaring her resignation as General of Alexandria (which is later reversed after she decides she cannot leave Steiner)

Honestly between auto life, auto reflect, auto Regen, and auto haste the white mage class is kind of redundant. But Eiko has Holy so I went wit her >_>

I think I saw that Beatrix scene and I never even did the Hades stuff.

beatrix bothers me
just cause everytime you fight her you lose
so it removes tension from the game cause you know if the heroes fail beatrix who they never really surpassed and got stronger then is still there to pick up the slack and save the world.


i also dont like that the part where dagger cuts her hair. i think she looks much worse with short hair

I think Beatrix is cool but she did kind of fuck up royally with what she did under Brahne. Massacring Cleyra makes it hard to really like her.

At least Steiner got to hit that

Idk about that. Kuja also never loses to thr party. Plus when you get to play beatrix shes not much stronger than steiner. Iirc you never fight her after that point so i assume zidane and co caught up to her skill level. Also i recall necron talking about it being zidanes and the rests will to live as to why they pulled through

That always happens when a former boss becomes a party member. Otherwise they'd be OP if they had 5k HP when everyone else has 300 or less.

Still considering you never fight again I took it as a sign they had caught up level wise. And still doubt she had what it took to go toe to toe with kuja anyways. As said he never lost to the main party either

Only difference i see though is Cecil IMMEDIATELY felt regret. It was simply a case of he didnt have the spine to stand up to his king until after fact. Which considering thr king could easily have you executed can you really blame him?

Cecil had immediate regrets but his primary response to this was to try and prove his loyalty even more.

He doesn't really start taking a stand for what's right until after he meets Rydia.

He did consider the king to be his adoptive father as well so that plays a role

But no he questioned the king got stripped of his rank and sent on a mission right away as punishment dont recall trying to prove more loyal. Just didnt grow a spine until rydia

On top of that, Cecil trying to redeem himself is a major part of the story (taking up the first-third of the game or so), whereas I kind of forgot all of what Beatrix did (if anything) to make amends for her actions.

I was actually upset he didnt stay a dark knight longer. It what actually got me into the game to begin with. Kinda wish the after years had him do a whole learning to balance the dark and light and have him switch back and forth like dissidia games.

Beatrixs extreme arrogance and the fact that she never really gets retribution (of any sort) for her actions renders her absolutely insufferable in my eyes and is generally why I havent played FF9 again.

I tried the Steam version of that game, but for some reason it seemed like navigating the menu was super touchy and it was hard to just go down or up just once. Like trying to go from "Item" to "Ability" was hard because it would just shoot pass "Ability" and land on "Equip" or "Status"

Did you have that issue, TC?

Anyways, hope you enjoyed it. I really enjoy 9
