    Never tried to get Excalibur II, and I always forget about the Coffee sidequest. Other than that, I give it a good hard shot to max everything.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    I never did the coffee one or the jump rope mini game - I forgot about those. But I loved doing Mognet, and I did complete that.

    the first time I played ff9 I ended up spending at least six hours on jump rope at the beginning. Sometimes I get obsessed with these little games. The same way Miriel got me obsessed with Flood It!

    Blue Mage is my favorite Final Fantasy class, so, naturally, I strive to make Quina eat every enemy type that my party encounters!

    During my last playthrough, I completed the Mognet and Chocobo Hot & Cold side quests for the first time and attempted to defeat Ozma, but... :mymelfacepalm:

    I have to steal everything. Especially all items from bosses, I can't kill them until they have no items left on their body! It's a bit frustrating when there's a very low probability of getting an item, like the fairy flute and it's 1/256 chance or something.

    I never play tetra master, and I always do all the chocobo stuff. Best chocobo sidequest eva.

    i liked how this game had multiple items you could steal from pretty much every monster.

    I'm also obsessive about stealing everything. I'm obsessive about getting a good card collection, I have multiple times attempted to achieve the highest rank, but only once have I gone the whole way with it (you have to get one of every card, and no two cards with the same arrow combination... yeah). I have gone for stat maxing a couple of times but I always find it drains the fun out of the game so I usually end up doing moderate stat raising instead.

    I don't think I've gone one playthrough (maybe my first) without beating Ozma and Hades, and I always fully complete the Chocobo treasure hunting. I've completed the coffee and Mognet sidequests a few times. I've raced Hippaul to level 80 to receive the Athlete Queen once, and I'm never doing that again xD I've never gone for King of Jump Rope, I usually go for 200 and if I fail after that I just consider myself done with that.

    I actually don't remember if I go for all Blue Magic, but I think I must've done it at one point. I always get all equipment abilities, though, and I level at least past 60 mostly. I tend to max out all the fixed-damage abilities.

    I've never attempted to get the Excalibur II, though.

    This thread reminds me that we all should admire SeedRankLou for doing everything in one playthrough (perfect game).

    wow, I guess I got lucky when I got highest rank because I sure didn't know the arrows had to be in different directions.

    Are you sure you got the very highest? I can't actually remember what it says, but there are many different for various situations (like, getting a certain amount of X and A modifiers in the card stats might give you a special rank). Seeing how much trouble I've had getting all unique arrow combinations, it just seems incredibly improbable that you'd get it by chance.

    Oh I don't know, I thought you were talking about being S rank. I haven't played ff9 in years so I don't know what my actual number score is.

    I never attempted to get the rank and all the cards. Is it that hard?

    Oh, S rank isn't very hard to get if you do the H&C quest. What I was talking about is the rank that's in the upper right when looking at the card menu. And no, it's not that it's hard so much as it is a lot of work, and most of all, a lot of keeping track of what arrow combinations you already have, unless you want to have to look through all your cards every time you get a new one to check for duplicates. xD I'm not sure why I do that.
