Not too long left of rushing around Keep it going

[SeeDRankLou]

Terra
-As the level of the monsters continues to rise, so does the chance that back attacks happen. This gets a little annoying, but I can prevent that with Alert. Also, now that Freya has learned Initiative, I can activate that and have random battles possibly go very very fast.
-I auto-arrange my items, then equip Zidane with the Germanis Boots. I then activates his Alert, Freya's Initiative, and while I'm in this menu I activate Dagger's Auto-Float, she needs it later.
-I board the Hilda Garde 3 and enter Terra.
-Terra has a very weird enounter rate, either it's really high until the last screen or non-existent until the last screen where's it unbelievabley high. Either way, getting the recommended 3 battles is a pain.
-When I pick up the Minerva's Plate, I change equipment as follows:

Dagger - Magic Racket, Lamia's Tiara, Magic Armlet, Minerva's Plate, Ribbon
Steiner - Rune Blade, Cross Helm, Diamond Gloves, Diamond Armor, Coral Ring

These are both for the upcoming battles. This is the last chance to equip them, especially Dagger, since she will be absorbing exp. This set-up will allow her to gain max stats while she does so. Steiner will be immune to Thunder and Water attacks. They both already had Auto-Float and Distract equipped, respectively.
-I'm way ahead on time, so it's not a big deal if I take one more random battle. Especially since 2 or them were pre-emptive strikes, one of them Zidane started with full ATB, and the last one the enemy only got to cast Blind before Zidane used Flee.
-All in all, I didn't lose that much time. More scenes...Steiner and Dagger leave the party and are replaced with Quina and Amarant. I get a Wind Edge, go to Moorock and save.


Bran Bal
-First some shopping. All the items that I found in Terra that I still have sell for a decent amount of money, which is why I auto-arranged my items earlier, so that they would all be at the bottom of the list. I sell the following (the only real item purge I had to do in this game ):

Phoenix Pinion
Tent x9
Shield Armor x2
Gaia Gear x2
Plate Mail
Demon's Vest
Dragon Wrist
Mythril Racket
Yellow Scarf x2
Cachusha
Extension
Fairy Earrings x2
Wind Edge
Anklet
Coronet
Desert Boots

I then buy:

1 Orichalcon
1 Defender
1 Holy Lance
1 Minerva's Plate
2 Adaman Hats

None of these are missable, but 2 of them are needed for the upcoming exp gaining, and the rest are for strategic reasons. I then buy Stilitzkin's deal. I only have 4 gil leftover after this, but that's all the shopping that needs to happen during this challenge, so it doesn't matter.
-I then make the following equipment changes:

Zidane - Orichalcon, Green Beret, N-Kai Armlet, Power Vest, Black Belt
Auto-Float, Auto-Life

Quina - Silver Fork, Adaman Hat, N-Kai Armlet, Magician Cloak, Rebirth Ring
Auto-Life, Ability Up

Amarant - Tiger Fangs, Adaman Hat, Chimera Armlet, Chain Plate, Power Belt
MP Attack, Bird Killer, Devil Killer, Counter

Freya - Holy Lance, Barbut, Venetia Shield, Minerva's Plate, Barette
Auto-Reflect, Distract, MP Attack, Gamble Defense

This set-up will give Zidane and Freya their max stats while they gain levels, and give them optimal abilities for the battles. The other two will just be good support, especially Amarant.
-I then go around and pick up Angel Earrings and a Flash Hat, and then some scenes progress. I pick up an Elixir, as Eiko I pick up another.
-I go back to the same moogle and save again.


You're Not Alone!
-The scenes that run prior to the 3 exp battles are very exhaustingly dialogue filled, it's a pain to do this repeatedly. I actually had to dust off the turbo controller for this one. I haven't used it at all during this challenge, but there's just too much dialogue. The turbo controller constantly pressing X is actually slightly slower than me pressing O and X back and forth repeatedly, so it wasn't to my advantage time-wise, just carpal tunnel sydrome-wise.
-After several scenes and a whole lot of dialogue, there are some forced exp battles. With the equipment that I set up in the previous sections, Freya will get her max stats while receiving the exp from Amdusias, Zidane from Abadon, and Dagger from Shell Dragon.

Amdusias
-This is the easy one. In all but one attempt, Amdusias opens with Bio which KOs Zidane, who auto-lifes, then flies in the air with its next turn. Then Freya appears. Two attacks from Zidane (about 1700 each) and one from Freya (about 2800) will do about 6000 damage and cause Amarant to appear. An attack from Amarant (about 3000 damage thanks to Bird and Devil Killer), then he and Zidane get KOed, and an attack from Freya will win this battle.
-In all my tries I lost to this one once. The only major problem here is during Zidane's first attack, in which Amdusias can counter and then attack Freya, Distract isn't fullproof. The battle that I kept went well enough. Zidane's first attack was countered, but he dodged. Amdusias came back down before the next two attacks. Before Amarant could take his turn, Amdusias KOed Zidane with a Bio. Then Amarant attacked, it countered with Bio to Amarant, which KOed him, and then used Bio on Freya, which got reflected back. An attack from Freya wins the battle. Freya's level increases to 25 (remember she was at 18).

Abadon
-This is the hard one in terms of staying alive. Abadon has a group attack, High Wind, and it's not above using that attack twice in a row, which will KO the party before Zidane appears. Otherwise, it's just a matter of staying alive until Zidane appears, and then using a Limit Glove, having Quina and Steiner KOed, and Zidane attacking for the win. There's always a fear of Abadon using High Wind, so it's a risk to KO Quina or Steiner myself.
-In all my tries, this is the battle that would make me reset 95% of the time. The battle I kept started with Quina using Auto-Life on Steiner. Then Abadon attacks Quina, who comes back with 1 HP. Then a Thundaga to Steiner, who absorbs it. Zidane appears, which is followed by a Limit Glove. Abadon uses High Wind, Zidane and Steiner come back. It uses Thundaga on Zidane, Steiner revives. It attacks Steiner, who dodges. Then Steiner self-KOs (and thankfully doesn't dodge) and Zidane attacks for the win. Zidane's level increases to 22.

Shell Dragon
-This is the hard one in terms of time. Dying is not the issue here, it's doing things in a timely manner. Shell Dragon can just keep using Smash and Charge, and all Zidane will be able to do is heal himself. And since dying isn't an issue, it's easy to forget that Zidane has Auto-Life equipped, and think that you're going to self-KO Zidane and then have Dagger attack for the win, except that Zidane comes back and everything gets messed up. This only happened once. Basically, Zidane needs to wear down Shell Dragon until it's in a 1000ish HP range, and then have Dagger use Shiva for the win. Five attacks will usually be slightly too much for Shell Dragon, so four attacks (about 2200 each), a Hi-Potion and one more will put it in range. There's a thing about keeping the Eidolons unflagged, I don't see the point in doing that, you're not missing anything by keeping the Eidolons unflagged.
-So, I got to Shell Dragon four times. Once I died because of a blonde moment. Once I forgot about Zidane's auto-life, I fixed this by simply having Zidane self-KO in the beginning so I wouldn't have to worry about it, and to bring out Dagger more quickly. I beat it two times. The first time, I would intermittently attack after I would heal and it would use Earthquake. And then I got the HP down, I revived Dagger, it used Charge so I had to wait a few turns to revive Dagger again, and Zidane self-KOed and I used Shiva. The second time, I had a good run of it either using Smash, which just needs an Elixir for Zidane, or Earthquake. I was also lucky with Zidane's attacks, his first 3 were weak (high 1900s each) and his last two were regular, so I didn't need to use a turn for a Hi-Potion. Then it used Charge, and then came 5 or 6 Charges/Smashes in a row, so I had to spend as many turns using a Hi-Potion/Elixir. Finally it used Earthquake. So Zidane revives Dagger, it uses Smash on Zidane, Zidane self-KOs and Dagger uses Shiva to win the battle. Dagger's level increases to 22.

-When I beat Shell Dragon the first time, I just immediately went to the moogle, replaced Dagger with Freya and saved. I thought I might do better on time so I tried a few more times. The second time I beat Shell Dragon, I went to the moogle and replaced Steiner with Amarant. I then unequipped Dagger and Amarant so I could have their equipment, then switched them for Freya and Steiner, and saved. Despite taking this extra step I gained 20 seconds on my last time. Having the last two battles both go really well will take a lot of luck. The guide says to do this section in 15 minutes, and I think he got that luck, because I think I did pretty well, but I clock in at 17 minutes. Even without those series of Charges/Smashes I probably would have only saved a minute. Oh well, I did it. Ironcially, I used the same number of Elixirs and Hi-Potions in both saves.

Those battles sound really frustrating
Dont stop!!!

[SeeDRankLou]

The Maze of Pandemonium
-With the exception of the unique equipment that each of the four Chaos Guardians holds in Memoria, the items in this section are the last missable items in the game.
-First, I set Zidane and Freya up for the Alert + Initiative combo like I did in Terra. Then I remove Freya's equipment. She will be KOing herself soon, and her equipment will make that difficult being at level 25. I also purchase 21 more Phoenix Downs. I only had 16, that might not be enough.
-There are five items to get in this area. Luckily, the encounter rate in this area is very low. Getting 3 random battles can be done with no effort, and getting only two just takes going through the areas quickly and a little luck. First I go back to the throne Zidane was on and pick up a Holy Miter. Then I go through the areas where the You're Not Alone! section took place.
-Next is the light bridge puzzle. It's very simple, just activate it, go all the way to the left and all the way down. That path only requires waiting for two blue lights to go away.
-Next is the lift puzzle. Setting the lift to 3 will allow me to go all the way to the top and get 20,007 gil from a chest. On the way up to that chest, I got into a random battle against an Abadon. Zidane is already in critical HP. The other three all self-KO. During this time, Abadon uses Thundaga against Freya which gets reflected. Quina comes back with 1 HP and I L+R ran for the second time (I think, maybe third). Afterwards, Steiner and Freya get a Phoenix down and Zidane and Freya get a Potion. This probably wasn't necessary, but they are still in critical HP with a low 100s HP. I then go back down and set the lift to 4. This allows me to go back up to the top, and then take the lift to the next floor.
-Next are a series of ledges connected by teleporters. The teleporter to the right leads to the lower section of the next floor. Here, to the the right and left are teleporters that each lead to a chest, so I pick up an Elixir and Carbani Mail. Back to the previous room, the bottom teleporter leads to the upper section of the next floor. On my way to getting the Battle Boots I get in another random battle with an Abadon where Zidane starts will almost full ATB. Then I make my way to Mozme and deliver a letter to him, which nets me a Kupo Nut, and I save.


The End...
-Equipment change:

Zidane - Orichalcon, Adaman Hat, N-Kai Armlet, Power Vest, Pumice Piece
Auto-Life, Distract, MP Attack, Bird Killer, Man Eater, Gamble Defense

Freya - Holy Lance, Mythril Helm, Venetia Shield, Minerva's Plate, Barette
Auto-Reflect, Distract, MP Attack, Bird Killer, Man Eater, Gamble Defense

Steiner - Defender, Cross Helm, Venetia Shield, Diamond Armor, Power Belt
Distract, MP Attack, Bird Killer, Man Eater

Quina stays the same. I only got into a random battle going down that short corridor once. Next, three boss battles in a row.

Silver Dragon
-Luckily, the first battle is the make or break battle. Silver Dragon is basicaly the big brother of the Red Dragons. He has their two wind attacks and a new attack called Shockwave, all of which will KO the whole party. And it has max speed, so it will almost definately get a turn in. So the only way to win this battle is to have it use its Claw attack, and either miss or hit Quina or Zidane, who will auto-life. Given that that happens, the battle is all but over.
-So I input Quina's Limit Glove. Silver Dragon had a turn on hold though, it used Claw on Freya, who dodged. Then Limit Glove, Zidane and Freya attack, and Steiner uses Charge!. Freya was all but useless in this battle. Both her attack and her Charge! attack missed. Fortuantely the others compensated for her, and Steiner's attack from Charge! ended the battle. Freya learns Chemist.

Garland
-No group attack makes for a simple battle. A few Charge!'s, physical attacks and Limit Gloves will end this battle, depending on how many Limit Gloves happen and how fast Ethers can be distributed.
-Steiner uses Charge! for the second time since his MP was last replenished, and with his measily 24 MP, he now needs an Ether, which Freya ablidges. Zidane gets KOed by a Flare and come back. A Limit Glove and another Charge!, and Garland uses Wave on Steiner who dodges. A few physical attacks later and Garland is down.

Kuja
-This is pretty much the same as Garland. Kuja is just a little faster and has more HP. The Monster List on gamefaqs.com says that Kuja can use Flare Star, but maybe he just uses it rarely because in three tries he didn't use it once. Charge!, Limit Glove and attack him into a trance and disc 3 is all but done.
-Kuja starts with a Demi to Quina, who revives. Zidane attacks, Charge! and Freya gives Steiner another Ether, then Kuja uses Thundaga on Quina, which doesn't nothing. Limit Glove, 2 physical attacks and Charge!. Only Zidane needed to attack with Charge!, and Kuja goes Trance.

-Then I just have to run around a little, skip some FMVs and dialogue. Then I save as the disc ends. I got it just above 13 minutes, which I'll take.

...of Disc 3

At the end of disc 2, I was 24 minutes ahead of the guide. I gained a whole lot of time at the beginning of the third disc. I lost some time taking a few extra battles in the Desert Palace and Terra, getting Quina zombied, taking different battle strategies, and doing quite a few more equipment changes than the guide suggested. Still, I got another 14 minutes ahead of schedule, and I'm now 38 minutes ahead. Five more boss battles and I'm done, very very close.

[SeeDRankLou]

Memoria Preparations
-After the scenes in the Black Mage Village, I choose a party of Zidane, Freya, Steiner and Quina. All I need to do is get in a random battle and have everyone get KOed, Zidane and Quina will auto-life.
-I fly to the plains near the Iifa Tree and deactivate Distract and MP Attack from Zidane, Freya and Steiner. I then very quickly get into a random battle against a Hecteyes. Zidane self-KOs and comes back. Hecteyes knocks out Quina with Absorb, who comes back. Steiner and Freya self-KO and Zidane uses Flee.
-I then immediately save.


Nova Dragon
-I revive Freya and Steiner. I give Zidane the Green Beret and Quina the Holy Miter. I then make the follow abilities changes:

Zidane - Accuracy+, Distract, MP Attack, Bird Killer, Ability Up, Insomniac, Bandit
Freya - Distract, MP Attack, Bird Killer, Counter, Ability Up, Insomniac
Steiner - MP Attack, Bird Killer, Ability Up, Insomniac
Quina - MP+10%, Insomniac, Ability Up

For some reason Freya got moved to the back row, she returns to the front row.
-I then enter Memoria, and after some scenes and FMV skipping, I fight Nova Dragon.
-Nova Dragon is the parent of Red Dragon and Silver Dragon. It has the two wind attack from Red Dragon, and the max speed and Shockwave attack from Silver Dragon. It didn't pass down a non-evadable physical attack and a counterattack. The only way to win this battle is to have Quina start with full ATB and VERY QUICKLY enter the Night command, or to have Nova Dragon start the battle with Psychokinesis, it's only single character attack. If I pull that off, it's simple a matter of entering Charge!, Zidane and Freya attacking or using an Ether if necessary and Quina entering the Night command again before Nova Dragon wakes back up. Wash, rinse and repeat.
-Nova Dragon starts with Psychokinesis on Steiner. Zidane revives and Quina uses Night. Now I set everyone's command up so that I can just hit X repeatedly and everyone will do what I want. So when Quina's ATB is almost full, Steiner uses Charge!, Zidane and Freya attack and Quina uses Night again. After this turn, Ethers start being needed. I have Zidane distribute because Freya was doing more damage. After three more rounds Nova Dragon goes down in the coolest death scene in the game so far. Zidane learns Detect. Freya learns Reis's Wind. Steiner learns Thunder Slash. Quina learns MP+10% and Body Temp.
-After a few more scenes, I enter Memoria and save at the save orb.


Maliris
-The recommended random battles for this area is 2, which is not hard to get. What's hard is that most of the enemies in this area have a group attack, which is not good. On this save, I got through the first two screens with no random battles. The next screen had a back attack against a monster that attack Quina. After that battle, I set Quina up for Auto-Life. In the next random battle, Quina auto-lifed right away and Zidane used Flee before the enemy could do anything.
-On the way to the boss battle, I pick up The Tower.
-I equip The Tower to Zidane, and everyone replaces Bird Killer for Devil Killer. Steiner replaces Insomniac with Distract. I had already set-up Quina.
-Poor poor Maliris, with no group attack he's absolutely no threat. I just have to wait for him to take a turn before I do anything, because he could use Mustard Bomb. And then either Freya has to Jump, or someone has to have an active Auto-Life because with its dying breath Maliris will take out the whole party.
-For a perfect save, the Genji Armor must be stolen here. I also wanted to steal the Ultima Sword for Steiner. This battle is a little hectic as far as keeping track of things. Quina Limit Gloves until s/he is out of MP, unless s/he gets KOed, then s/he must use an Auto-Life. Steiner uses Charge!. Zidane steals stuff. If Freya needs to she uses healing items, otherwise attacks. Steiner got KOed at one point, so did Freya. The stealing only took two turns, then Zidane could be of help with that. I think only three Limit Gloves happened, maybe two. Anyway, in my previous tries I wasn't good about keeping everyone alive for Charge!, which is probably what's going to make these battles go the fastest. I had a save that was slightly faster than this one, but I was a dufus and forgot to steal the Genji Armor. This one is good though.
-After the battle, another scene and I save on the little balcony.


Tiamat
-After this battle, I fear I may be running low on Ethers. I'm going to get into some random battles along the way, so I might as well use them. I revive everyone and give everyone an Elixir. I then set everyone up like at the beginning of disc 4.
-I intentionally got into a random battle on the way to Tiamat. I had everyone get KOed, Zidane and Quina auto-lifed. It lasted a round longer than it should have, but I went on anyway. I think I got a pretty fast Tiamat battle.
-I give Steiner the Ultima Sword, and set everyone's abilities up the way they were against Nova Dragon.
-Tiamat is just as easy version of Nova Dragon. It has many attacks, only two of which are group attacks, and 3 aren't really even attacks. So as long as it opens with a non-group move, this battle is over.
-For a perfect save, the Blood Sword must be stolen here. Tiamat opens with Absorb MP on Quina, which drains no MP. Zidane and Freya attack, and Quina uses Night. Then a series of Charge!'s, attacks and Nights, with anyone needing an Ether provided by Freya. I almost forgot to steal the Blood Sword, I stole it the second to last round. I really don't know why I keep forgetting to do that. Freya learns Dragon's Crest.
-I finish going up the stairs and save in the little alley between the buildings in the next area (it's hidden).


Kraken
-Thanks to that hidden save point, I can go from here to the next save point with just one random battle. And I will again use that random battle the same way I used that last one.
-Everyone gets an Elixir and sets up for self-KOing. In the last screen before the save orb--this really long walkway where a random battle will almost certainly happen--I get in a preemptive strike battle. Zidane self-KOs. I then wait for the monster to do something, it KOs Steiner. Freya and Quina self-KO and Zidane uses Flee.
-I save at the save orb.

-After this, I revive everyone. Then I equip Zidane with the Ribbon, Freya with the Diamond Gloves and Diamond, and Steiner with the Diamond Gloves and Genji Armor. These three activate MP Attack, Distract and Devil Killer. Zidane activates Accuracy+, Freya and Steiner activate Body Temp, and Freya activates Cover. I then make my way to Kraken, no random battles. Quina stays the same.
-Kraken will counterattack like 90% of the time, and the counterattack from its two tentacles is far longer in animation that its own counterattack. Everyone except Quina is pretty much going to survive anything Kraken does. One of its moves is mass-Waterga, which will heal Zidane and KO Quina. Quina has Auto-Life, so if Quina can pull off two Limit Gloves, one against each arm, before going down permanently, I can make this go a lot faster.
-For a perfect game, the Genji Helmet must be stolen here. My equipment change was a little sloppy, but that was made up for by some pretty nice luck with Kraken. It only used Waterga twice, so Quina stayed alive for several more Limit Gloves than just two 2 I needed. The battle went pretty fast. The tentacles went down in two rounds, then Kraken used Waterga. After Quina went down once, s/he used Auto-Life before doing more Limit Gloves. Zidane stole the Genji Helmet. I was tempted to steal some of its other stuff, but didn't. I used Charge! twice, when Zidane got healed I just used physical attacks. Charge! is a waste without Zidane. Kraken only used Waterga once after that. Attacks and Limit Gloves and the battle is won.
-After the battle, I make my way up some more stair and to another save point.


Lich
-Everyone reverts their equipment back to how it was against Maliris. Quina equips the Feather Boots. Everyone gives up Insomniac and equips Auto-Float. Steiner gives up Distract, and without the Rebirth Ring Quina has 12 spare stones. Everyone gets an Ether. Then I make my way to Lich.
-Oh poor Lich, weak against Holy. Freya is so going to rip you a new one. Lich can use Earthquake/Earth Shake, but with Auto-Float no one gets hurts. That and Lv. 5 Death are its only group attacks, and the latter will only hurt Freya. This will make for a fast battle.
-For a perfect game, the Genji Gloves must be stolen here. This is so sad, Freya's Holy Lance and Mythril Helm, each with Raise Holy Elem-Atk, are letting her attack for 9999 damage against Lich. I start with Zidane self-KOing, remember he was healed last battle. Then Lich uses Lv. 5 Death. Steiner and Quina both revive. Then Lich uses Earthquake. Zidane steals the Genji Gloves, Freya attacks, Steiner uses Charge! and Quina uses Limit Glove. Then Lich uses Earth Shake. This round looked similar to the last round, except Zidane attacked. Zidane's Charge! attack end this battle.
-And then....

CONGRATULATIONS

[Ari]

Holy crap man! I just read through your entire process. That is unbelievable!

You deserve a medal or something for this accomplishment. I know for a fact I could never manage this. It's one thing to try and attempt some of the other FF9 challenges but this is just unreal. You must have insane patience.

Thanks for all that you have posted man. I hope you don't slack off now that you got the sword haha. Keep it going!

This topic is awesome lol. I feel like I went on the journey with you almost. It's great.

[SeeDRankLou]

Thanks guys. It's been a lot of fun, thanks for your praise. And I'm not slacking off, I'm just attempting to do something for everyone's viewing pleasure. It might take a me a little while, but I'm definately not slackin goff, don't worry.

[yuno]

wow man,11:08=<3!!!congratulations man!!!^_^

[Heath]

Well done. With a grand total of 52 minutes to spare too!

[Ari]

I gotta play my FF9 again now, but my first disc is glitchy because my little brother borrowed it for a while. I gotta go pick it up and then do the toothpaste trick or something to get it working again. I wanna attempt one of these challenges. I think yours is too much for me, but Ive never tried doing it all with level 1 characters, or even getting the excalibur II

You got me motivated to at least play it again though

[Necronopticous]

Awesome, man. Great job. Have fun finishing up, everything else should be stress-free.

[Vivisteiner]

Amazing...


EDIT: I have a question. What abilities do you learn from Excalibur II?

Stockbreak? Is it weaker than Climhazzard?

[cloud21zidane16]
