Last night I started to replay FFIX to try to solve Thingfish's impossible riddle. I played the part of the sword fight in the play and I tried to get all 100 people impressed, but I can't the most I can get is 94, not making any mistakes. Can anyone help me to get all 100 members of the audience impressed?

Gee... that's a hard one... the most I got was only 92, even when I tried all over and over again. Maybe you should do it fast without mistakes?

I impressed 100 nobles and the Queen on my first time playing the game and I have maintained a 100% record in all my playthroughs. I just listen to the music and match the button presses with the rhythm. I guess being musical has helped a lot with my timing.

Thanks everyone, I make no mistakes, but I'm just not fast enough. I'll try harder!

i took ages to get to 100.its easy to make no mistakes so all you need to do is get better reflexes and keep on trying.

Just keep doing it fast, you'll get it wrong the first few times probably, but eventually you'll get it right.

I got 100% and impressed the Queen after about 4 attempts.

I found that to get 100% you have to get them all correct but also keep it at a fast steady rhythm. If you get most of them extremely quick but a couple not quite as fast you'll only get in the high 90's. Just try and keep a beat in your head to time it right...

i think you just get more gil. i don't know, of course, since my best was 94 with the queen being impressed, but that's what i would bet on

anything near the 90s+ you always impress queen brahne (atleast every time i did it going for 100). im not sure how you couldnt impress brahne and 100 people at the same time. btw, my highest was 94 :(

You get a pretty useful Item for impressing 100 people (Moonstone maybe?). It's not completely about doing it as fast as possible, but more about doing it with the rythm (kind of like DDR).

You get 10,000 Gil from the crowd, and if you have Steiner talk to queen Brahne afterwards she'll give him the Moonstone.

i don't see how a moonstone would be very useful early in the game. I guess Shell would be good.

(and that's not what you call funny lookin. that's what you call ILLEGALLY UGLY)

maaaaan, she turned nice near the end, that should cancel at least 2 or 3 thousand of those reasons

Timing my friend, timing.

Go with the beat of the music

man, i tried that today for like an hour but the beat isnt clear to me, its not the right kind of music where its easily identifiable

I just did it until the queen was impressed.

I have had very few occasions where I haven't got 100, so I can't relate.

Often it can be the speed at which you hit the buttons, so if you hit the button immediately, that would yeild you more points than waiting 1 second to verify what it is.

I cried when Queen Brahne died. :erm:

Anyways, back on topic, I think I did somewhere between 80 and 90 my first time and impressed the lard.

You can still impress her if you get the timing perfect but make a few mistakes AS WELL AS getting all 100 nobles impressed. If you do everything perfect, it will say, "Out of the 100 nobles watching, 100 were impressed," and then "Queen Brahne was quite impressed," next it will say "They demand an encore! Perform the fight scene again?" Select no and you will be showered with 10,000 gil!

However, I never knew about the Moonstone bit!
You can get one after Conde Petie anyway by collecting all the coloured stones from the mini-alters and putting them all into the holes in the big altar. A moonstone will fall out the back of the altar. That's the point at which add-ons are really necessary anyway.
