For example, to duplicate Excaliber, go to Lionel castles shop. Youll get a second Excalibur for only 10 gold!


Hint: Fast Job Level Up
This requires one character that has the Knight Skills, "Speed Break" and "Power Break". Everyone else can be any class, but they must
have the Squire Skill, "Throw Stone". It may be good to equip them with the "JP up Ability" as well.

Enter an area where monsters are weak (like the Mandalia Plains) and leave one monster on the field, but wound it with the Speed and Power Break skills. This causes the monster to hardly take any action, leaving all your other members to throw huck stones at one another, and watch them become masters in no time!


Unlockable: How to get the Chaos Blade
On level nine of the Deep Dungeon you should fight a team of ninjas. Ready your CATCH ability. If youre lucky, one of the ninjas will throw a Chaos Blade at you. If you catch it you get to keep it!


Unlockable: Get Cloud
This tip must be done during Chapter Four. Not that you should have about six empty spaces in your formation screen before attempting this.

Go to Zeltennia Castle and listen to the rumor called "Cursed Island" Buy a flower from Aeris at Zarghidas Trade City then go to Goug machine city with Mustadio. The screen will fade and go to a scene of Mustadio, Ramza and a steel ball. Go to the bar in Goland Coal City and listen to the rumor of the "Ghost of Colliery" After this, go to Lesalia Imperia and the screen should shown a scene of a bar. When you leave, invite Beowulf to join your party. Now that you have Beowulf, go to Goland Coal City and you will fight 4 battles here and save Reis. After you save Reis you will get a Zodiac Stone that will trigger the steel ball. Return to Goug Machine City again and add the Robot to your party. Now that you have the robot, go to Nelveska Temple. You will fight another robot kill him and you will recieve a stone that will bring Cloud to your world. Now go back to Goug Machine City and you will trigger the time portal machine and it will suck Cloud from the future bringing him to your world. Now go to Zarghidas Trade City and save Cloud from the thieves that are punking Aeris. Note: if this part didnt work make sure that you killed Dycerag and his Zodiac Soul Adramelk.
When Cloud joins your party all he can do is defend and attack. Youll need to find his Materia Blade so that he can use all of his limit attacks from Final Fantasy VII.

The Materia Blade is located in the Bervania Volcano. Set your partys on Move-Find Item Then go to the highest tall rock and go to the top of it.


Unlockable: Mini-Games - Japanese
Sometimes when you go to the bar and accept a mission, you will get a book. You can use that book to play a little mini game. There are four books in all.

Note:
This tip only works in the Japanese version.


Unlockable: Music Test - Japanese
In the Japanese version, enter your name as B-G-M-Ki-Ki-Ta-I to access the Music Select screen.


Unlockable: Ultimate Summon
After beating the battle in the holy land of Myurond, go to the seaport Wo-jirius. Following an short event you can go into Dieve dungeon, and from the tenth floor of the basement you will be able to learn the ultimate summon (equivalent to Knights of the Round from FFVII.)


Hint: Drain Boss Health Quickly
Here is one of the easiest ways to defeat the bosses with insane amounts of health. Obtain the ghoul class monster and then breed it until you have the Revenant. One of this monsters main abilities is the Drain Touch, which siphons HP and is the only way to heal the undead creature. For some reason, whenever this ability is used against the big bosses, such as Hashmalum and Altima, the Revenant will drain 999 health points, thus shortening the battle with the bosses considerably.


Hint: Ultimate Magician
Have one character become a calculator. To level up the calculator, just have him do propositions seeing as the calculator is very slow. Once he has all the math skills learned, switch his job to summoner. Master the summoner and for the second skill equip math skill. He will be able to cast almost all spells. (Spells that are a must: Flare, Holy, Bolt3, Fire3, Ice3, Cure3.)


Hint: More Powerful Ramza
For a more powerful Ramza, have him master the squire class then switch him to the ninja class and have him master that too. Then return him to the squire class and equip him with the two swords ability. Because of his special squire abilities he can wear heavy armor and helmets. Because of his natural H.P bonus in the squire class his max H.P should go up almost 100 H.P! This tip works best in late ch.3 to ch.4.

NOTE: When you get T.G Cid at the end of the 3rd. chapter, duplicate his excalibur and put one in each of Ramzas hands. If he is at a good level and has a high attack power, he can attack for 350+ points of damage each hit!


Hint: Weigraf and Velius: Two Birds with One Stone!
When you encounter Weigraf for the last time(just before he becomes Velius) you cankill him easily by following these instructions:

Make sure Ramza is a Squire with two sword ability or a Ninja with HP Restore and the support skill Guts equipped.

When you start the battle its just you (Ramza) and Weigraff. Dont attack him, instead keep away from him and use Yell and Accumilate repeatedly when its your turn.

Eventualy this will raise your speed and level high enough that you dont have to worry about his Lightning Stab or Earth Slash attack.

When you are getting 3 to 4 consecutive turns in a row (Check the AT list) wait until the beginning of the next cycle then attack. Your two-sword ability should kill Weigraff in one turn and Velius will be dispatched before anyone else even gets a turn.

This should make what was the hardest battle in the game quite simple. Good luck!


Hint: Zodiac Stones
Aries, acquired after defeating Wiegraf. Taurus, Found hidden in Goug Machine city. Gemini, acquired after beating Duke Elmdor in Limberry castle. Cancer, acquired after beating the steel giant. Libra, in the possession of thunder god Cid. Scorpio, acquired after vanquishing Draclau. Sagittarius, The high priest gives this stone to Meliadoul. Capricorn, Acquired after defeating Dycedarg. Aquarius, found in the deep coal mine in Goland. Pisces, given to Alma by Izlude while he was dying. Serpentarious, Elidibs has it in the last deep dungeon level. Leo, this stone is acquired by killing Vormav. Virgo, Altima possess the last stone in the Graveyard of Airships.


Hint: Immortal Female
To have a female that cannot turn into a crystal or treasure box, you must have the Chantage perfume (stolen from Meliadoul in Chapter 4) and a character skilled as a ninja, or have a Vanish Mantle as an accessory.

Put the Chantage perfume on any female character, and make sure the Ninja has the reaction skill of Sunken State (or equip him/her with the Vanish Mantle)

Go into battle, and hit the Ninja until he uses Sunken State (unless he has a Vanish Mantle) then make your Ninja run away after it is transparent (not acting!)

You will notice that your female character, after dying will be revived as soon as her AT reaches 100. This will happen every time she dies! It is better to have someone like Agrias use this technique!


Hint: Defeat Velius
To defeat Velius, bring along at least one summoner that knows Lich, a chemist with a Mythril Gun, and anyone with a strong attack (like a knight or a ninja.)

First, move within four spaces of Velius and use wave fist. Then you should get another turn. Use wave fist again and then jump across the water on the right.

I think Velius gets his turn next and hell use Cyclops. While hes charging, move your guys away from the target. If he targeted a certain person, attack him directly with that person. Hopefully, youll have a summoner left. Cast Lich (Itll hit him for around 500, and he has 1000hp)

By now he should be almost dead. Just use anything you can to finish him off


Hint: Raise Bravery Permanently
When you reach chapter two, purchase the Square ability CHEER UP for Ramza. Once youve acquired it, go into battle and use it on everyone on your team. It will temporarily raise their BRAVE by 5 points, and provide a permanent 1-point increase.

You can get your Brave up to 97. This works great if you have the Blade Grasp skill because the enemies will only have a three percent chance of hitting you!


Hint: Gain 5 or more Levels in One Fight
You know how you get exp with one hit? What if your character is so strong, it kills with one hit. What if you can hit someone over 20 times without your guidence and safely return home. What you need is a wizard, and an oracle or mediator.

What you do is you turn your enemies into frogs. It is time consuming, but it is worth it. (You can increase chances by using oracle "pray faith." Once that is done. and I know this sounds weird, turn your strong character into a frog. Then with oracle or mediator, put him into berserk. This will allow him to fight on auto-battle without running away. Keep your character well healed.

Move the rest of your characters far away from the fight. Frogs VS Frogs. Put them on auto battle in "Run like a rabbit" mode so they dont interfere. They shouldnt interfere.

Leave it on over night. By morning that character will rise 5-10 levels, and have over 2000-5000 jp points.


Hint: Mime Job
The requirement for the job mime is level 8 item user, level 8 beginner knight, level 5 summoner, level 5 talker, level 5 Fu-sui-shi (Element user) and level 5 dragon knight.


Hint: Instantly Kill Undead
To instantly kill an undead (ghouls, skeletons, etc), simply throw them a Phoenix Down. You will never miss and theyll die instantly!

Warning:
When you kill undead this way a timer will appear. If you dont finish the game before the timer reaches 0, sometimes the undead will rise again. You can also use the engineers Seal Evil ability to destroy undead without them ever reviving.
