Have you ever tried to get Excalibur II?

[aeris2001x2]

No, it's in the same place you figth Lich. In Memoria... but not at the entrance.

i promise u i killed lich and its not there grrr i hate my copy of ffIX.

Geez..... I start to wonder if I actualy DID get to Memoria and killed Lich in under 12 hours while I was sleeping... then I DREAMED that I got it after 100 hours and...... How can I have it if I haven't beat Lich in 12 hours if it's impossible to get it if you haven't beat Lich in 12 hours!??????

I am almost 100% sure that you can only get Excalibur II by getting to Lich in 12 hours. I don't think waiting till the game clock goes over 100 hours and resets works. But I haven't tried it the second way. I did try to do it the honest way but it went over 12 hours somewhere in the Nova Dragon battle.

I think it will. Maybe when the clock breaks 100, it thinks the time has reset. Maybe a glitch?

Well, SOMEHOW I got it. And I'm pretty sure I didn't beat FFIX in 12 hours without notice it.

The problem is, getting Excalibur II makes a 100% game save impossible, as there are a number of items that you would have to sacrifice in order to achieve the task, which in turn, teach you important abilities.

Not true, it is doable. I did it the hard way too, actually getting past Lich in under 12 hours and not waiting for the clock to go round. I couldn't have done it without my turbo controller. You can just hold down the X button and zoom through dialogue. You can skip through movies. And there are many many other things you can do to micromanage your time. It's very doable. I did it, got all the items the can't be gotten after disc 3 as well, and had 18 minutes to spare.

However, I know a much more impossible (yet possible) task in FFIX that I have decided to complete before this summer is over. But first I shall solve this Excalibur II problem.

so wait, u have to beat lich in under twelve/past 100 hours? on which time u fight him? the first time or second?

[SeeDRankLou]

You have to beat Lich in Memoria, close to the end of the game. And I've heard from reliable sources that the 100+ hours trick doesn't work. I'm not denying that these people haven't done it, it was just a reliable source.

[Ultima Shadow]

Maybe you can't get it after 100 hours... but then, one thing remains unsolved... HOW DID I GET IT!? Because I just can't remind myself beating it in 12 hours...

[SeeDRankLou]

I'm not denying that these people haven't done it

AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! My second play: reached Memoria, killed Lich after 100 hours and didn't get the Excalibur II. And still I have it on my first play save. So... it seems that you can't get it this way but still I have it on my first play save... strange.
