The lack of information in the FFIX guide inspired me to write a guide of my own. I thought I could do a much better job then they did, here is a little of it if you want to read it. I've been working on it for a few years on and off. I've never actually finished a walkthrough though.


Disk 1

------------------------------
Theater ship
Items: 47Gil, Potion
------------------------------

After the FMV you find yourself in a dark room. In the back of the room you will find a closet with 47Gil and a potion on the left and right sides. After obtaining these items, light the candle in the middle of the room.

==================
Boss: Masked Man
Steal: Potion, Wrist, MageMasher
HP: ???

This battle is really easy so you should spend your time stealing his items before killing him, the MageMasher will be very useful this early in the game.
==================

After the battle, you will go into the next room where your friends tell you their plans. During this time you will be asked a question, if you select the first answer ?65-70? times in a row, someone will come in and chew you out.

------------------------------
Alexandria
Items: 285Gil (accumulated), Potion x6, Eye Drops, Ether, Remedy, Tent, Phoenix Pinion
Cards: Goblin x2, Fang x2, Skeleton, Flan, Lizard Man, Zombie, Bomb, Sahagin
------------------------------

Alexandria/Main Street-
You now play as a little kid with a pointy hat. Search directly to your left to find a potion. Now move downward to the previous area and search around the perimeter for the Zombie, Lizard Man, and Sahagin cards. Also search behind the statue for a potion.

Return to the area you started from and enter the house to the right. Search by the bed and to the right of the ladder for some Gil and potion, move up the ladder and look around for the Fang card. Leave the house and continue forward searching along the left of the street for another potion until you reach the next screen.

Explore the two patches of grass at the base of the screen to find a Goblin card and some Gil, now enter the door to the pub. Search around the tables to the left to find the Flan card and some Gil, and then search to the right side of the pub to find a potion. Leave and head left to the next screen. Enter the item shop to the right to find some Gil. Exit the shop and continue forward.

Alexandria/Square-
Move straight forward to the ticket booth and peek inside. Here you will select show ticket to give the ticket master your ticket. He then tells you it’s fake and gives you the Goblin, Fang, and Skeleton cards for compensation.

Move to the right and head up the stairs closest to the bottom of the screen. Search along the right side of the shop to find the ether. Enter the adjacent shop by moving through the doorway to the northeast. Follow the counter to the right to find a remedy. Exit the shop and run a little to the north, you will then see a wheelbarrow to the left, just before the bridge. Examine the wheelbarrow to find the phoenix pinion.

MINI-GAME
JUMP ROPE

To the left of the ticket booth you will see some girls playing jump rope. You can go play with them, and if you’re good enough you can even win some cool prizes.

20 jumps = 10 Gil
50 jumps = Cactuar Card
100 jumps = Genji Card
200 jumps = Alexandria Card
300 jumps = Tiger Racket Card
1000 jumps = Key Item, “King of Jump Ropes”
