Play style

[Freya]

I'm a very very casual gamer when it comes to this game. It's my fav FF so it's pretty much the only one I revisit.

In fact, Poor zidane was riding on that elevator to get to the top of linblum castle for hours. I just left the game playing without pausing it.

I try to do all the chocobo hot cold games and all the extra little minigames. I look for every box and do everything I really can. I just have fun with it. 'Cept that damn hippaul, I could only get him to level 40.

I take my time and try to enjoy every last bit of the game!


How do you play it?

[ReloadPsi]

Grind for abilities (though not for levels, they come as a matter of course) and try to do each minigame as and when I encounter them, then curse myself for forgetting.

I always job the hunting festival because I like the prize you get if Freya wins.

[Ouch!]

I like to max out Dragon Crest, Frog Drop, and Thievery so I can bludgeon through everything with Zidane, Freya, Quina, and Steiner.

That should give you a vague idea.

[Vermachtnis]

I'm bad when it comes to abilities. I don't grind, but I won't upgrade my equipment until I've learned it. Going through the game with stuff from a couple towns ago is annoying.

But I do grab all of Quina's Blue Magic ASAP. That's just fun.

[Freya]

I never level quina. I hate having to get all the blue magic stuff. :/ That's the one thing I never do.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I do frequently stop and grind for whatever abilities my equipment offers, and I always fulfill the entire Chocobo quest and unearth all the Dead Pepper treasures. Once I can get to Daguerro, I use the Grand Dragons exclusively, naturally maxing out Dragon Crest in the process. I also max out Frog Drop because IS CAN GOOD EAT, but I usually run out of patience powering up Thievery.

Screw the Athlete Queen, too. I don't think I've ever gone nuts enough to get all the Tetra Master cards, either.

Once you get to choose your own party, I always go with Freya, Quina, and Salamander. Most people seem to ignore them in favor of the starting characters, but I swear they're the ultimate team. :freya: :salamander:

I try to do [strike]all the chocobo hot cold games and all the extra little minigames. I look for every box and do everything I really can[/strike] EVERYTHING POSSIBLE and not just IX but all FF titles.

[Heath]

I'll grind for abilities, though that's it. I don't even grind to be honest, I just make sure that I have them before a certain point. I certainly don't bother to grind incessantly as soon as the opportunity to gain a new ability arises. I never bother with Blue Magic. Tetra Master is something I'll involve myself with when I'm doing well. I don't like the game but if I've won a few games then I'll continue playing and building a collection up. Once I've lost a few games my enthusiasm quickly disappears.

[Freya]

haha yeah I'm like that. I get all cocky about it. Then I start losing and throw my controller and pout

[Quindiana Jones]

MUST. DO. EVERYTHING.

Yeah. One of everything, at least. All skills maxxed. All mingames awesomed. All cards obtained.

[Freya]

Are you a hippaul master?

[Dolentrean]

I am an over grinder. I am a sub-plot finder. I am a mini-game flocky. I am a Chocobo jockey.

Also some people call me the space cowboy.

[eestlinc]

This is the only FF game where I really liked all the mini games and did them all as soon as I could. I definitely got all the Tetra Master cards and then spent a bunch of time leveling them.

Same here. That's the main reason this is my favorite game. All of the mini-games are so fun. I loved the friendly monster thing as well. That and Ozma are the only two things I've still not beaten in this game, I think.

[Wolf Kanno]

I try to do everything but I never do things I don't feel would be fun. I've never attempted the Excalibur 2 quest as I rather find IX's plot and gameplay to be really splendid and I don't think I could ever rush through it all.

I don't play Tetra Master but its because I quickly get bored. Beyond that, I try to do everything though I have never successfully completed the Coffee quest, Mognet, or the Jump rope game... I really need to pop this game in again...
