Possible Spoiler maybe?
I used to go on another forum a lot and they were always talking about Garnet's real name being (SPOILER)Sarah but I played the game through and beat it, and I never remember finding out that was her real name? Or did I miss something? Does anyone know where this comes from?
You find out in a sub/side quest in Madain Sari. You won't find out just playing through the story, you have to go out of your way to find out. This is probably why you missed it.
The puzzle is tough to decipher without consulting a FAQ or guide. As Flying Mullet says, though, it has something to do with Madain Sari... with the (SPOILER)Eidolon Wall in particular.
OOC: Another 'secret' in FF9 that i just couldn't fathom (along with the Excalibur II). Why would they put so many things into a single game that are so oddly impossible to even stumble on accidentally? But... at least one person must have, since every guide out there references it anymore.

Well, there are clues about this one - (SPOILER)Lani gives a few hints if you talk to her. I guess they just wanted to add depth and replay value, so that people wouldn't just master a whole lot of simplistic side-quests and then say, "What? That's it? How dull..."
A few ongoing mysteries - especially those that aren't revealed for quite a while - give people good reasons to keep coming back.
Hmm thanks for the replies, I do have the strategy guide but must have missed it or something, unless it's not mentioned in there.
Ah well more to do next time I play it
True, but to even get to that point, you have to have certain people in your party when you go to (SPOILER)Madain Sari (okay, if that can even be called a spoiler, it's a light one. But i'll just be on the safe side). Or was it that you have to leave certain people out? i don't know; i never tried it myself, because i thought it was too complicated a process for too little gain.Originally posted by Big D

(SPOILER)Lani runs away if Amarant or Eiko are in the party, I think.
Yeah I never would have figured it out by myself, I used a strategy guide and the internet-- but to check out all the secret messages on the Eidolon wall in Madain Sari is worth it! I think I got most of my info from www.playonline.com. If you follow all the steps correctly, you find out interesting things about Garnet and Eiko.
Old enough to know better, but dumb enough to do it anways.
Blanche: "In the south we mature faster...I think it's the heat." Dorothy: "I think it's the gin."
The first time she always runs away, but once you reenter without Dagger or Amarant, she returns.Originally posted by Big D

another correction brougt to you by the guy who memorized the script.
Go to Maiden Sari and talk to lani(she's in Eiko's kitchen)she will run away, now go to the eidolon wall and examine all the murals, now walk round the whole wall 10 times, it will bleep everytime you walk round once, now check under the Ifrit mural and you can see a message with garnet's real name in it.
It might depend upon the version of the game. Like... Japanese spelling vrs. English
I'm pretty sure it's (SPOILER)Sara too. For reference I played the European version.

I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.
