Highest Possible Stat Guide for Final Fantasy IX (AKA Max Stats Guide) Written and Authorized by KADFC Copyright KADFC 2002, 2003, 2004 Created at: December 5, 2002 Font: Courier New Size:10 Version 0.999 E-mail: [email protected] Ask for question on the FFIX Message Board Last UPDATE on : November 20, 2004 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!READ THIS FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Summary by SoftReset concerning the existence of this FAQ: "Certain equipments will raise a character's stats. For example, an item like the Power Belt will give a temporary gain of three points to a character's Strength stat, making that character's physical attacks more damaging. If you un-equip the Power Belt, that character's Strength stat will return to normal. However, if you gain a level with the Power Belt equipped it will help you make a permanent gain towards Strength. You will gain a fraction of a point to Strength, and although this fraction won't be visible on the status screen it will be added to your Strength stat. Fractions add up, and after so many level-ups these fractions will become a whole point. This is stat boosting, a way of manipulating stat growth by adding fractions of points over many levels until they become whole points. Any item that raises a stat while equipped will also add a fraction to that stat at level-up, which is why such equipments are referred to as "stat-boosting equipments." * AUTHOR'S NEW WORD OF ADICE IF YOU'RE LAZY * FOR EACH CHARACTER, HAVE THEM EQUIP THE SO CALLED "AUTHOR'S BEST CHOICES," AND HAVE THEM LEVEL UP.

But in some ways you'll have to come up with what you want your characters to have. Its ok if you want to use this if your men are in level 30s and up, it still works, but the full benefit will be lost. If you find this to be too much for you right now, if you already have a perfect game kept saved, or dont want to bother of doing this whole game over again just to have the best, I dont blame you. But if you follow this steps slowly, you might suceed. Just take this slow as possible, try to follow up on what im about to tell you. This might be surprising at first, but here it goes. This my second FAQ. It's not what I expected it to be, but someone gots to do it. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dark Star Theories ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Stat increases are not random, although they do usually vary from game to game. Let me try to explain it at hand of strength. You get 1 strength+ at every level ending with either 1, 4, 7 or 0. (LV 4, 7, 10, 11, 14, 17, 20, 21, 24 etc.) Making it 29+ by the time you reach 99. Now that's were equipment comes into play, because additional to the fixed 29+, you also get 'random' bonuses. E.g. if you wear no strength boosting equipment at all, you will get one additional strength+ every 3/32 levels. (In other words: every 0.094~0.095 levels) This amount can be increased simply by wearing more strength boosting equipment. I'll tabular it from here on: Equipment Bonus/ Range of Levels +0 / 0.094~0.095 (Like stated above: 3/32) +1 / 0.125~0.133 +2 / 0.154~0.158 +3 / 0.188~0.200 +4 / 0.214~0.222 +5 / 0.250~0.263 +6 / 0.278~0.286 +7 / 0.302~0.316 +8 / 0.334~0.353 +9 / 0.375~0.385 (To compare: 12/32) Now compare a character with no strength boosts, and one with +9 strength boost. [Character with +0]Gets +29 from just leveling up, +9 from the 3/32 levels. Total boost: 29+9 = 38 [Character with +9]Gets +29 from just leveling up, +38 from the 12/32 levels. Total boost: 29+38 = 67 Now I know that more than 9+ is possible by wearing the right equipment so 67+ is surely not the maximum a character can get. But you may know that the strength stat gets also used for HP calculation, and everything higher than 9+ will not affect HP in any way. Spirit You get +1 for Spirit every time Strength and Magic increased twice and if your level ends with either 7, 4 or 0. (LV 7, 14, 20, 27, 34, 40 etc.) Making it a total of +14 by the time you reach 99. Now that you understood the equipment bonus thingy written above for Strength/Magic, I'll move straight to the tabular for Spirit. It looks little different though. Equipment Bonus/ Range of Levels +0 / 0.031~0.032 (+1 Spirit in 1/32 Levels) +1 / 0.063~0.067 +2 / 0.094~0.095 +3 / 0.125~0.133 +4 / 0.154~0.158 +5 / 0.188~0.200 +6 / 0.214~0.222 +7 / 0.250~0.263 (+1 Spirit in 1/4 Levels) +8 / 0.278~0.286 +9 / 0.302~0.316 +10 / 0.334~0.353 +11 / 0.375~0.385 As you can see, bonuses now won't comes as easily as compared with Strength, so it will take more effort to raise Spirit. Let's do the character comparison thing again, although I will substitute the +9 from before with a +7. I'll explain why. [Character with +0]Gets +14 from just leveling up, +3 from the 1/32 levels. Total boost: 14+3 = 17 [Character with +7]Gets +14 from just leveling up, +24 from the 12/32 levels. Total boost: 14+24 = 38 I did choose +7 because this will get you a whopping +38 Spirit at LV99 that gives even Quina (the character with the lowest base Spirit starting at 11) a nice, nearly maxed 49 base Spirit at LV99, but it will also be overkill on everybody else. So just look for yourself how to achieve the max of 50 for every character. So far so good now for... Speed: You get +1 for Speed every time Strength and Magic increased thrice and if your level ends with a 0. (LV 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 etc.) Making it a total of +9 by the time you reach 99. Remember that Speed won't go up any single point more than the fixed +9 if you don't use any boosting equipment. The tabular for Speed: +0 / N/A (No bonus at all) +1 / 0.031~0.032 (+1 Speed in 1/32 Levels) +2 / 0.063~0.067 +3 / 0.094~0.095 +4 / 0.125~0.133 (1+ Speed in 4/32 [1/8] Levels) +5 / 0.154~0.158 +6 / 0.188~0.200 +7 / 0.214~0.222 +8 / 0.250~0.263 +9 / 0.278~0.286 +10 / 0.302~0.316 +11 / 0.334~0.353 +12 / 0.375~0.385 Some comparisons again: [Character with +0]Gets +9 from just leveling up and not a single point more. Total boost: 9 [Character with +1]Gets +9 from just leveling up, +3 from the 1/32 levels. Total boost: 9+3 = 12 [Character with +4]Gets +9 from just leveling up, +12 from the 1/8 levels. Total boost: 9+12 = 21 Hmm, I guess that's all one needs to know about stat modification, so I think I'll stop right here. And I didn't cover the HP/MP gains for the simple reason that I just don't know anything useful about them as of yet. Maybe later. Made by Dark Star ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Terence's Theories ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All your stats are strict formulas that are as follows: Spd = SpdBase + [Level * 1 / 10] + [SpdBonus / 32] Str = StrBase + [Level * 3 / 10] + [StrBonus / 32] Mag = MagBase + [Level * 3 / 10] + [MagBonus / 32] Spr = SprBase + [Level * 3 / 20] + [SprBonus / 32] MSt = MStBase + [Level * 4 / 10] + [MStBonus / 32] HP = [Str * HPMod(Level) / 50] MP = [Mag * MPMod(Level) / 100] Spd, Str, Mag, Spr and MSt stand for Speed, Strength, Magic, Spirit and Magic Stones respectively. Anything in [] brackets means to round down the number in the brackets. [4.5] = 4, [4] = 4, [4.9] = 4, [5] = 5 (as some examples) HPMod and MPMod are a table lookup that depends on level. This is universal for all characters. As a couple of examples: HPMod(1) = 250, MPMod(1) = 200, HPMod(99) = 4524, MPMod(99) = 642. The various 'Stat'Base values differ from character to character, but can never change. Zidane's bases, as an example, are 23 Spd, 21 Str, 18 Mag, 23 Spr and 18 MSt. The various 'Stat'Bonus values are the only way you can affect the growth of your stats. Every level, these bonuses go up by a rate that's worked out from your current stat increases. For example, if you have equipment that gives you 3 extra Speed, then SpdBonus will go up 3 every time you level up. In addition to the above, StrBonus and MagBonus will automatically go up by 3 per level, SprBonus will go up by 1 per level, and MStBonus goes up by 5 per level. (This has been tested to be accurate with Zidane. It's currently unknown what, if anything, increases MStBonus over and above the 5 per level) Base Stats at Lv 99: Zidane Speed: 32 Strength: 59 Magic: 56 Spirit: 40 Magic Stones: 72 Steiner Speed 27 Strength: 62 Magic: 50 Spirit: 38 Magic Stones: 71 Vivi Speed: 25 Strength: 50 Magic: 62 Spirit 36 Magic Stones: 68 Garnet Speed: 30 Strength: 52 Magic: 61 Spirit: 34 Magic Stones: 68 Freya Speed: 29 Strength: 58 Magic: 54 Spirit 39 Magic Stones: 72 Quina Speed: 23 Strength: 56 Magic: 58 Spirit: 28 Magic Stones: 69 Eiko Speed: 28 Strength: 52 Magic: 60 Spirit: 36 Magic Stones: 67 Amarant Speed: 31 Strength: 60 Magic: 51 Spirit: 32 Magic Stones: 72 On top of the above, the following table tells you how much extra stat points you'll have if you equip a bonus item giving the listed bonus for 98 levels. +1: 3.06 +2: 6.13 +3: 9.19 +4: 12.25 +5: 15.31 +6: 18.38 +7: 21.44 +8: 24.50 +9: 27.56 +10: 30.63 +11: 33.69 +12: 36.75 +13: 39.81 +14: 42.88 +15: 45.94 +16: 49.00 Made By Terence ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Other Words of Wisdom from Terence ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Formula's pretty straightforward, in my opinion. I'll run through an example though. Let's see.... Zidane's L40. Now, we're going to work out his Spirit. Zidane's SprBase (Spirit Base) is 23. This will *NOT* change throughout the entire game. The number's always 23 for Zidane. Zidane's SprBonus (Spirit Bonus) is... well, it's variable. It depends on how we've built him up until now. Let's say we've levelled him up up til now with no equipment though. Each level he would have gained 1 per levelup automatically (since this is Spirit), so over 39 levels, he would have 39 SprBonus. So, his current Spirit must be: SprBase + [Level * 3 / 20] + [SprBonus / 32] = 23 + [40 * 3 / 20] + [39 / 32] = 23 + [6.0] + [1.21875] = 23 + 6 + 1 = 30 Okay. So, we give Zidane some equipment now. We manage to choose equipment so that he gains 4 Spirit, so that his current Spirit is now 34. He now goes up a level. He's L41. So how does this change things? Well, SprBase stays the same, always. But SprBonus goes up by 1 for the level, and an extra *4* for the equipment. So 39 + 1 + 4 = 44, which is the new value of SprBonus. So *now* his Spirit must be: SprBase + [Level * 3 / 20] + [SprBonus / 32] = 23 + [41 * 3 / 20] + [44 / 32] = 23 + [6.15] + [1.375] = 23 + 6 + 1 = 30 So, same as before. But the additional values went up a bit this time. Let's keep this +4 Spirit equipment on him for an extra 9 levels and get to L50. Over 9 levels, his SprBase would stay the same, but his SprBonus would go up by 1 per level, plus 4 per level for the equipment. This adds up to a total bonus of 5*9 = 45, which we add to SprBonus, giving him a new SprBonus of 89 at Level 50. So his Spirit with a SprBonus of 89 at Level 50 is: SprBase + [Level * 3 / 20] + [SprBonus / 32] = 23 + [50 * 3 / 20] + [89 / 32] = 23 + [7.5] + [2.78125] = 23 + 7 + 2 = 32 Do you follow? *Another Topic* Keep in mind this is a learning experience for me too. Most of the stuff I've been posted up I'm just looking up or have looked up in the past few days. I don't have nearly as much info on FF9 as compared to the vaults of stuff I've dug and helped dug out of FF7. That said.... Each character has a group of 5 memory locations (2 bytes each) that are updated every time you level up. Those are the 'Stat'Bonus variables: one for each of the four main stats, and one at the end for Magic Stones. *WHY* it has a Bonus variable, I have no clue. Anyway, searched out the equipment listing, and *boy* is it all over the place. Unlike FF7, FF9 (as some of you already know, I believe) likes to make *HUGE* uses of tables and offsets to save space. The stat bonus table is one such offset. I've tracked them down and played about with them, but I haven't found anything that alters MStBonus on level up yet. And yes, you *would* think there'd be a way to influence it. I just don't know of any way. Hence the 'currently unknown' disclaimer about it. I've seen plenty of dummied out stuff in FFs before, and it wouldn't *surprise* me if no equipment grants an increase in Magic Stone growth, but... eh. I'm only one person. Anyway, hope that helped. *Another Topic* Hmmm. I doublechecked the starting stats. I *did* find that all of Eiko's stats were 1 higher than they should be, with the exceptions of Speed (I copied them down from the hexdump incorrectly, it would seem). But that doesn't explain such a huge discrepancy. However, in my save games, I can definitely verify a lack of Magic Stones... however, when I level them up normally, they seem to grow at the normal rate (5). So I decided to check my earlier saves. And wouldn't you have guessed it? It's all the 'instant level up's fault. Zidane, Vivi, Garnet and Steiner are all with you at the start of the game, so they're fine; they're at L1 and it's great. But when another party member joins and you're at a higher level... well, they level up to match you. And they *DON'T* get any bonus points for that. For the record, in my Burmecia save, both Quina and Freya are missing 7 level-ups worth and Amarant is missing 1 level-ups worth (from Blank joining at L2). This also does not apply to only Magic Stones; they miss out on bonuses to the main four stats too, if they deserved any. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HPMod and MPMod Table By Terence ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'll answer the first question first, since it's easier at the moment. Prepare for a *LONG* post, and remember, you asked. Remember: HP is divided by 50, MP is divided by 100 HP MP 1: 250 200 2: 314 206 3: 382 212 4: 454 219 5: 530 226 6: 610 234 7: 694 242 8: 782 250 9: 874 259 10: 970 268 11: 1062 277 12: 1150 285 13: 1234 293 14: 1314 301 15: 1390 308 16: 1462 315 17: 1530 321 18: 1594 327 19: 1662 333 20: 1734 340 21: 1810 347 22: 1890 355 23: 1974 363 24: 2062 371 25: 2154 380 26: 2250 389 27: 2350 399 28: 2454 409 29: 2562 419 30: 2674 430 31: 2790 441 32: 2910 453 33: 3034 465 34: 3162 477 35: 3282 489 36: 3394 500 37: 3498 510 38: 3594 519 39: 3682 527 40: 3762 535 41: 3834 542 42: 3898 548 43: 3958 554 44: 4014 559 45: 4066 564 46: 4114 568 47: 4158 572 48: 4198 576 49: 4234 579 50: 4266 582 51: 4294 584 52: 4317 586 53: 4334 587 54: 4344 588 55: 4353 589 56: 4361 590 57: 4368 591 58: 4374 592 59: 4379 593 60: 4383 594 61: 4386 595 62: 4388 596 63: 4389 597 64: 4390 598 65: 4391 599 66: 4392 600 67: 4393 601 68: 4394 602 69: 4395 603 70: 4396 604 71: 4397 605 72: 4398 606 73: 4399 607 74: 4400 608 75: 4401 609 76: 4402 610 77: 4403 611 78: 4404 612 79: 4405 613 80: 4406 614 81: 4407 615 82: 4408 616 83: 4409 617 84: 4410 618 85: 4411 619 86: 4412 620 87: 4413 621 88: 4414 622 89: 4415 623 90: 4416 624 91: 4417 625 92: 4418 626 93: 4419 627 94: 4420 628 95: 4421 629 96: 4422 630 97: 4423 631 98: 4424 632 99: 4524 642 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Rebirth Flame's Highest Possible Stats for each Character ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ According to the information posted about stat bonuses these should be the highest of each stat possible for that character by leveling from 1-99(Concentrating on that one stat). All they need now is proving. Found off of Rebirth Flame (The Author, KADFC, has done some modification in this area, but all facts are still true. I just added extra lettering for clarication. Nothing much) Highest possible of each stat for Zidane: Speed: 50 Strenght: 83 Magic: 77 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Steiner: Speed: 42 Strength: 80 Magic: 77 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Vivi: Speed: 37 Strength: 74 Magic: 86 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Dagger: Speed: 42 Strength: 76 Magic: 91 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Eiko: Speed: 40 Strength: 76 Magic: 90 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Freya: Speed: 44 Strength: 76 Magic: 81 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Quina: Speed: 35 Strength: 80 Magic: 82 Spirit: 50 Highest possible of each stat for Amarant: Speed: 46 Strength: 84 Magic: 66 Spirit: 50 ***Extra Credit Discovery***: Rebirth Flame has just discovered something new and interesting. Even though Blank's Level have direct connection to Amarant's level later on in the game. Marcus is in a different matter. Apparently Marcus' Level isn't connected to Eiko, but his stats will transfer to Eiko though. Meaning you can level up Marcus all you want in a Level One Game and still be fine, plus it's even better for Eiko later on in the game. Soft Reset has leveled up Marcus to Level 99 before he left the party on disc 2. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *New Stuff* By SoftReset (Copy and Paste Version) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SoftReset has requested me to move this section from my FAQ. For further understanding, refer to SoftReset's Marcus/Eiko Glitch FAQ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Author Translation and Understandings (From KADFC) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I believe this is what both of them means. Special Type of Weapons Give You Stat Bonuses Go to your Stat or Equip Menu and look at all your characters. The Number for Stats Like -Speed -Strength -Magic -Spirit -Attack -Defense -Evade -Magic Defense -Magic Evade The Equipment that changes the first four Stats-Strength, Speed, Spirit, and Magic. Are the ones only qualified enough to give Stat-Bonuses. Meaning if you have the equipments that give Stat-Bonuses on that character, after they have leveled up to a certain level, their stats will increase. So after levels that end with either 0,1,4, or 7, something out of these 4 will increase. Read the Theories again, to get better understanding. This is the case in which they can be stronger than any other people's game. The more Stat-Bonuses, the Stronger they become. Although Speed, Strength, Magic, and Spirit are definetly effected by this, others thing are also effected as well. But I can only name a few Speed= How fast the ATB will fill up, Evasion of phyical attacks, and how often Auto-Regen will occur from time to time. Strength= Effects how hard you attack, the number of HP on the character, and the ammount that Auto-Regen will give to you. Magic= Magic Attack and the number of MP on the character Spirit= Magic Defense and Magic Evade, and how often you'll get out of bad stats, or Just Plain Luck in the Batlle Field. Speed and Spirit has the max of 50. Strength and Magic has the max of 99, even though none of them can go to the max, without a gameshark. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Character's Section Format Explanation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This part will start talking about each Character's Format. How I have placed them in order of what I tend to display. None Rule- When I say in a group of Equipments the word 'None.' It really means that you can replace this section with any other weapons that you might want. I'm telling you that no matter what weapon that you place in here, it won't effect the main purpose of increasing a specified stats. Terms or rather acronyms: Spd = Speed Str = Strength Mag = Magic Spr = Spirit Stat Increasing Equipments- These are the weapons that give Stat-Bonuses. If you dont give any Stat-Bonuses, I will not include them here because they have no use of acheiveing of the goal of this guide. So only a certain few will be mentioned in the list. I also will say what they add of the Stat-Bonus. Elimination to the Best )- On this list, these are the best equipment the game has to offer. Meaning most the time they must be acquired or close to the end of the game, same are exceptional. There is a way that I will eliminate for the best, these are the rules. A and B are equipments in the same Catergory, meaning they both belong to Weapons, Head Gear, Arm Gear, Clothing/Armor, or Addons. Ex: If A gives 3 Strength and B gives 2 Strength, then B is eliminated due to the difference of that one Strength. Ex: If A gives 2 Spd and B gives 2 Spd, 1 Str, and 1 Mag, then A will be eliminated due to thelack of giving other Stat-Bonuses. Yet B have the same stats plus more than required. Ex: If A gives 3 Magic and B gives 2 Magic, 1 Spr, 1 Spd, and 1 Str, then in this case, both are not eliminated because A gives an extra Mag and B doesn't, even though B gives one of other stats, B cant give the extra Mag. So in conclusion both are still avaliable on the list. Best Solo Stats Increase- This part will offer the best combination of raising one stats to the max as possible, since levels go up to only 99, many stats can't go to the max of 99. So I suggest of you doing this for testing only, don't try this as for a Perfect Game Save. Equal Double Stats Increase- This part will offer the best combinatino of raising two stats equally are possible to the max. Even though some character don't have a very high chose of getting the weapons to make both equal, this is the very best that I can do. *Author's Choices* These are combination that have personally picked for whoever that want to do a perfect game. The Stat-Bonuses are not aimmed directly at one stats, but all four, being equally as possible. You might have your own choices, but these are best of my knowledge and definetly my suggestions. *(IMPORTANT NOTE)* All of the Author's Choices are to be used to some extent. Sometimes after leveling up, check to see if any of the stats that the equipment said it was suppose to raise, but didn't at all. If this occurs, give that character some other equipment that raises another ability. That way, the character wouldn't miss out on doing nothing. IF, you take it off, and it lowers your stats in a way, then keep on, it's not done maxing that part yet, it just needs a few more levels or so. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Male Characters

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All these types of combination are based on numbers and making the best that I see fit. You can actually make your own combination with base on what you want a character to have, I have no right to force you to use these combination, but from my research and compermising with numbers and balancing them to seek the best, these are truly the best of this game. I could add another section of 'Equal Triple Stats Increase' part to all 8 characters, yet I'll leave that for another time, when I can find some time. This is only a beginning version of this guide. This will be erased when I see that it can be the best that it can, but for right now it isnt. To even go farther than I can go, I will probably team up with other Friends on Gamefaqs to complete this mysterious task. Hopefully this will be done sooner than expected. Even though this has been updated 6 times, I'm still not fully satified with it. UP To DATE: 10/15/2004 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Credits ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This Guide was made Possible by: KADFC (The Author, of Course) Dark Star (His Formula that I first seen, even though others said that there were many errors that made his formulas false) Terence (The Next Expert that shown me another Formula and gave me the most word of wisdom, and apparently he should be doing this Guide, but truly I don't know why he isn't doing it. Also the HPMod/MpMod Table as well) Rebirth Flame 2002 For finding out that Marcus' Stats Transfer to Eiko's and all of formulas that he has given to me, even though most of those formulas won't be included in this FAQ, becuz it has nothing to do with Max Stats. Ultima13 For giving SoftReset the Gameshark Codes for me to post it in my FAQ. Even though it might be illegal for me to do so, Meh. It someone complains, I could take that out, but until that time comes, I'm ain't removing shit from this FAQ. THX to him as well for reminding me about the Thief Hat. SoftReset For giving me a quick summary about my FAQ. http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/final_fantasy_ix_marcus_ eiko_glitch.txt
