Thanks...
If I had a rapid controller and set the rapid fire for O button, then all i have to is go to this little corner in the Gargan Roo, and keep the left analog stick to the left with a rubber band. Then, I just have to equip marcus with blood sword, so he doesn't die, and have proper equipment, in this case, the ones that raise his strength the most, so Eiko can wield a lot of damage just by attacking

Yes, not many people in the world know about this "growth bonus" system in the FFIX except the programmers. Well, I found out from FFIX "ULTIMANIA" book that I got in Japan (and it's only out in Japan). This book is seriously the bible of FFIX. I'm not kidding. It's over 600 pages, full color, and it has everything you need to know. The walkthrough is fricken 50 pages!! And the rest is full of formulas, secrets, cards, mini-game strategy, and thorough explanation of all systems...


Anyways, put simply, when the character is going to level up soon, equip the best items on him/her. If you want that person to have good strength, then choose weapons that increases that certain stat. (That's why everyone's stat is different from your friend's in FFIX)
So, it is possible to raise certain character's stats to max (if you spend over 300 hours!!). So, FFIX is a game that you shouldn't level up until the end, when you get all those good armors, etc...

PS: Gau, I can only play that for 30min because my eyes start hurting Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Anyways, I can't express the sense of accomplishment I felt after I saw that 100. I seriously screamed, "YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!" (lol)
