Subject: -=FF cheats/ secrets 1.8 =- From: tomo1657@aol.com (Tomo1657) Date: 11 Apr 1998 13:00:28 GMT Newsgroups: alt.games.final-fantasy v 1.8 Superstrong GameG. code (FFA) I figured this one myself by modification... AFE-6B9-E62 (The problem is that it is stronger than the limitation of the game, and the status will all go back to 99 after one level-up.) (which is still much stronger than the possible status you can get by regular play) -------- *Get the Battle Ax from the beginning* (FFL3) When you go into the simulation battle in the very first thing in the game, de-equip the battle-Ax of Mel-rose. When you finish the battle, he will have another equiped and you get to have the one you took out. --------- *Listen to all music* (FFT) If you type "BGMkikitai" as Ramza's name in the Japanese version, you can go to the juke box mode and listen every music in the game, including the unused ones. Somebody please find the english name!! ("BGM kikitai" means "I want to listen to the BGM") ----------- *Stronger... and stronger...* (FFT) After gaining levels on a character with high growth rate jobs (like ninja), perform "level down" to them after changing into low growth rate jobs by purposely going on to traps. After going up to Lv 99, coming back to Lv 1, and going up to Lv 99 again, the HP increase is up to 300! -------- *Duplicate weapons* (FFT) 1. Get a knight with the double-equipment ablitity. (I don't know what it's called, but it enables you to equip a weapon on each of the hands) 2. Put a shield on the right, and equip the weapon you want to duplicate on the left hand. 3. Go to a shop where they only sell a weapons that are weaker than the weapon you want to duplicate. 4. Go to the changing-room, and perform the "equip strongest" (you know what I'm talking abou, right?) 5. De-equip your lefthand. -------- **Avoiding Back-attacks** (FF7) Press the "R" and "L" button for an instant. (Don't press it long, for you will be running away) The characters will be facing the enemy after releasing the buttons. -------- Casting a magic three times on an enemy (FF7) Make all of your characters "reflect" status. Cast any attack magic into all three of your characters, and the mgic will bounce three times to the enemy, each with the attack power of a full magic. ---------- Recover your stamina in chocobo Race! (FF7) Press R1 and R2 during chocobo race, and the stamina recovers gradualy. You must be the rider, though. ----------- Get the dark crystal in the dwarf's castle (4j) After Golbez's had steels the crystal, finish the chat with the king and cast "degeon" without moving a step. The crystal will strangely on the platform waiting for you. I don't know if it works on the US version. --------- Final Fantasy Adventure (game boy): Warp2 In the cave where you get the Ice magic, go to the corner room right before you get the ice magic. Equip a sword, and put your will to the max. While sliding on the two plates, do the max-move to the right. Press left when you're flying back, and keep pressing left. You'll warp to the cave where you get the star. ----------- Here's a little trick on FF2j After you get the ring from Scott, press "select" and "B" to call up a map. --------- Bypass 4rth floor of Yuffie's event (FF7) On the fourth floor on the tower in Utai, try to ignore the boss and go up stairs. He (the boss) will get mad, making a wall in front of you. Go back to 3rd floor once, and come back again. You will be able to slip through the door to the 5th floor. (I'm not sure if it's on the US one) ---------- 7777 attack (FF7) Adjust your HP to 7777 in any point of the game. (during battle or in the status window, it doesn't matter) The character will go out of controll and start giving the enemy 7777 rapidly. (When you start the battle, if your HP is already 7777) Unfortunately, your HP goes down to "1" after battle. -------------- *Infinite money/item* (FF5j)Preparation: 1. Have one ninja and one thief in your party. (Lenna looks really good with pony tailed ninja) 2. Have two weapons that the ninja can equip. (Two. not more, not less) 3. Find an enemy that you can steal an item that is usable during battle. (like potion)4. Discard (or sell) all of the item.5. Refresh your item box 6. Equip one of the two weapons onto the ninja. Leave one hand blank. Instructions 1. Go into battle, and make sure that the enemy you can steal usable items is there.2. Wait for ninja's turn, and go to "item", and click the other weapon. 3. Bring your cursur up to the equip box (just keep pressing up) and click on the empty hand. (in other words, equip the weapon) 4. Go back to the menu for the ninja, and choose "throw". 5. Click on the space you have just made by removing the weapon. 6. Pick the enemy that you want to steal from. 7. A yellow light will be thrown, with 0 damage. 8. Wait for thief's turn, and steal the item from the enemy. (keep trying) 9. After you steal the item, quickly use it to anyone.10. Finish the battle. Results:Your item should have a weird symbol next to it. It means that you have infinite of it. Use it ONE BY ONE for infinite use, or sell it ONE BY ONE to increase your money. Steal "golden needles" for best money. (no, I don't remember which enemy had it)Notes: If you perform "refresh", the items will turn into only 99 of them. (only...) Asign a corner key in the keyboard as "A", and tape it down to sell continuously in emulatorsLeave it for some time, and your money will zoom up. Cast heiste to the thief to steal items quicker. (Or have 3 thiefs and 1 ninja.) There is a similar trick in FF2 (4j), so if you want me to post it, just e-mail me. (click my signature at the bottom : ) --------- Speed 255 ! (JAP version FF7 only) Equip two "double item" materias, and your speed will go up to 255. (probably a bug) ---------- Get 100 GP for 10000 G (FF7) When you go back and forth Gold S entrance and the Ropeway entrance, there is a chance that a man is standing in the back corner of the Gold S entrance. Talk to him, and he'll sell you one GP for 100 G. (100 GP is the maximum) The chance is low, so keep trying. Until you grow your own chocobos, this is the fastest and the most accurate way to earn GP. (Well, the FASTEST is the basket ball game...) ---------- 30,000 in Speed Square (FF7 jp version only?) Sometime after the balloons come out, there are two big yellow airships that are not enemies, on the right near the top. Shoot the propeller portion of the airship (on the behind), and the scores zoom up. (apparantly a bug) The score gage will brake, but the score will keep on rising if you keep on shooting. The maximum score is 30000, because anything past 30,000 will go back to a zero. -------- I'll focus on "did you know..." type things today.(FF7) Did you know... that you can see a TV add (FMV) in the Sinra building, at the shop? that you can really buy the Costa Del Sol house? that the man in the cave (near Junon) will give you items when the last two digits of your number of fights match? that you can use "regist" in a controled enemy to make them stay controlled? (or make they stay sleeping) --------- **EXP to dead characters** (FF7) If you put a dead character out of your party, 1/2 EXP points earned will go to the dead character, too.**Tifa and Cid rides the chocobo races** In random, when Cloud decides to join a race, Tifa or Cid asks you if he/she can be the rider. **The Dead rises by being stabbed by needles in the wall** (long...) (US?) In the trap in the dungeon in Cosmo Canyon, the dead will re-vive with HP1. (and no, this isn't for reviving Aeris) --------- Equip anything that could be stolen!! (FF2, 4j) Prepare by setting the battle to active mode. Give command to Edg eto steal from the enemy, and wait with the item window open until he steals a weapon or a sheild. After the item comes into the window, click it and bring it to the top to equip. Even Rydia/Rosa can equip shields this way. Here's a list of good weapons to steal from enemies: (I translated from the Japanese enemies, so the name might be a little different)Riris' Rod: RirisDragon's Lance: Blue Dragon Brake Blade: Black LizardLune Ax: Giant Soldier, Magic Soldier Lune Staff: Marionater ---------- Today's is on FF3 (FF6j)Instant killer Tired of fighting bosses? Two simple steps will terminate all enemies except for "undead" monsters. (like skeleton, zombie, ghost, etc) 1. Make the enemy invisible. (magic, item, etc)2. Cast Death. That's it! It works on all living bosses except for Kefka and the 3 gods. PS: I totally changed the design of my page (down below) ----------- Make Terra stay as an esper (FF3, 6j) 1. transform Terra into an esper 2. Make her sleep 3. Hit her and wake her. ---------- Today's secret will be of Final Fantasy 2 (4j). It's a popular one. Equip and multiply your weapon or shield! 1. During battle, go to the item box and select an open space. 2. Scroll up, and click on the weapon/shield you want to multiply 3. Run away or finish the battle quickly. 4. Go to "equip" and equip the weapon you had just de-equipped. 5. Wow! the character is equipping two things! de-equip it to make it two separate items. You can divide any weapon/shield, for an unlimited time. Use this for making money, too. ---------- Day 2 (FF1) I know it's an old game... Do you like mini games? Press "A+B" 55 times on the boat, and a mini game to organize 15 numbers come out. ----------- Cross the swam without a chocobo. (FF7) Walk into the swanp south of the Chocobl Farm. Usually, the Midgal Snake would swirl it's way towards you, but before he can catch you, save and reset. (hold R1 R2 L1 L2 Start Select) When you load the game, Midgal Snake will be a lot farther than you. Do this 2, 3 times to cross the swamp without a chocobo! ------------ Getting the mountain/river chocobo: (green/blue) (FF7) breed two "good" or "pretty good" chocobos with "karab" seed. (the chances of getting a special chocobo increases when the parants are high in rank. (in chocobo races)Getting the black chocobo (black) breed a mountain chocobo and a river chocobo with any seed. (the higher priced ones are better)Getting the ocean chocobo (gold) Breed a black chocobo with a "marvelous" chocobo. (Maybe it was "splendid" or something, but it's the best one) With a "zeio" seed.Getting the Karab seed: Steal or kill the dinosour near bone village.Getting the Zeio seed: Steal or kill goblins in "goblin island", in the north east. Getting chocobuckle (bonus) Give a memit's veggie to a chocobo with a level with a multiple of 4. (ex: 4, 8, 16) Cast "LV4 blast" to the chocobo. Give a memit's veggie to the chocobo. Cast "LV4 blast". Keep on doing this until the chocobo does "chocobuckle". (Be sure to equip the "enemy skills" materia. The chocobuckle's strength depends on how many times you have run away from battles. It only takes up 3 MP, so it's suited for people who want to zoom through the game, running away a lot.Turning the chocobo (bunos) when you're in the screen where you need to choose the chocobo to give veggies, press "R" or "L" to turn them Chocobo has more HP than the last boss. The last boss will die when using "Knights of Round" with 9999 damage each, with "double-magic" materia while a chocobo won't die. (who cares?) ----------- Getting the quad-magic materia without a special chocobo: (FF7) Go to the cliff leading to the cave near Mideal, with the high-wind. Enable the "bird view", and line up the airship with the cliff, so that the cave is on the left side. Press SQUARE and LEFT as you lower the airship with "X" button. The timing is critical, but You will land on the left side of the cliff if you succeed. Just press A in the buttom of the cliff to get up. If you are on a chocobo, (any chocobo) it's easier to succeed. ------------ Here's a little FF2 (4j) trick: Choose "sing" during frog status, and the song will be "frog's song". It will turn the enemy into frogs. ------------ Snowboard Complete Guide ( in gold S.) (FF7) The gold sourcer re-opens in the 3rd disk, granting you the access to the snowboard game. Here are all the secrets in the game.Second Course: Appears after you finish first course with a passing grade. (75 or plus) Third CourseAppears after you finish the second course with a passing grade. Time Attack Appears after you finish all courses with a passing grade. Get the yellow balloon in the beginning of the game to enter the Time Attack.Speed Up Appears after you finish a course with TIme Attack, with a pretty fast time.---- Control tips:-Obst. Course Try to be in the middle, and brake if too fast, because falling down is a deduction of one point. Red balloons are 1 point, Blue 2 point, and Green 3 point. Some balloons can be get by jumping only. A 90 will grant you an item. (once only)-Time Attack ALWAYS keep your finger on R1, to activate sharp turning. Try to keep the inside, but turning sharp turns from the outside into the inside. Try moving as little as possible.Course Tips-1st course Keep on the left side at first. Pass in a straight line un the snake curves. In the big jump, approach from the right and press left just as you are about to jump. Try to go straight in the wide road, in the middle. Jump with a high speed to get the green balloon.-2nd course If you get the speed up, do not turn widely in the curves connecting the caves. You will spin out. Instead, release the right button for a short amount of time during the turn.-3rd course Keep the middle in the beginning, while going slow in the caves at the edge. Try to remember the big rock, if you are in the obstacle. (and the blue baloon right after the cave) Practice is the only key to getting a fast time on this course : ) PS: Hit the last igloo on the first course, and you'll find... --------- Fly 4 times faster!! (FF2j) Press the "B" button 32 times on the airship. --------- Reduce your money dropping chances when you run (FF2, 4j) Just press R and L while you move, and your money dropping chances drop quit a bit. --------- No count down!! (FF2, 4j) If you press "A" throughout the battle, your character won't die after being casted the death cout-down. --------- Warp! (FF adventure) In the bridge that leads to the town of Wendel, do this: 1. step one up 2. While moving, and before landing onto the next step press "select" 3. Save, reset And you'll warp to Jad after reaching the boundary of the screen. --------- Weird bug (FF4j) After getting access to both the towers of Barron, 1. Go up the left tower 2.

QUickly go up the right tower and you'll warp to the town of Barron, while the game crashes. --------- Chocobo without legs (FF4j, 2us) Get off a chocobo in a forrest, and he jumps away without legs. --------- Use metal weapons in the magnetic cave (FF4j, 2) Start out by not equiping any weapons. During battle, go to the item box and equip any metal weapon. -------- Adamantite Armor (FF4j, 2) In the last dungeon, there is a monster called "Pink". When you defeat it, you occasionaly get "pink's tail." Bring it to the tail collector and he'll give you adamantite. Bring admantite to the black smith and he'll sell you the armor. -------- Genji glove (FF6j, 3) Answer 3 times "no" when Terra is asked to join the rebels. The enemy will come attack, and one of the returners would give her the genji glove. --------- Genji thingies (FF5j) You can steal a different genji thingie each time you fight with Gilgamesh from the ship fight and beyond. -Tomo "If the whole world turns against you... I'll still be on your side! Being alone is lonely, isn't it...?" - Ellie (Xenogears) "You can't expect religion to define God for you. You find God in your self." - Sofia (Xenogears)
