Then cure the only person you want to reach 99 first. repeatedly fight behemoths. That one cured character equiped with the level up ability should earn about 25000 exp. repeat this until that character is a level 99 then get his virused and cure someone else.

Real Good Weapons
Whenever u get into a boss battle, always steal! U can get weapons before you're meant 2, and best of all, its free!!! i.e. If u steal from Baku when he fights u on the airship after u leave the tantulus on disc 1 u can get the iron sword early ( I think its this sword at this time, but it may be another sword or at some other part of the beginning of disc 1! It is definetely avaliable before Blank is petrified!!!)

Black jack mini-game

First, complete the game. Then wait for the Crystal Theme to play, then hit: R2, L1, R2, R2, Up, X, Right, Circle, Down, Triangle, L2, R1, R2, L1, Square, Square, then hit start after the noise to activate the blackjack mini game. Now, you can show-off your blackjack skills in the FF9 game!

How to change the costumes

When in the ice cavern if you beat the giant monster that the little man summons before the man without using magic the man will give up and will give you an item and run away when you get to deli village and in the hotel you can get changed in to a different costume.

Ozma : FFIX's Omega Weapon

message: Think the final boss, Necron is a push over??? Wait till you have a taste of Ozma, the most powerful creature in FFIX. You may have to complete some side quests first. First, you have a gold chocobo to have access to Chocobo's Air Garden. Go there and ride Choco to the back islet. When you examine the eidolon grave, Mene warns you about something dangerous there and you get a few chances to back out. So fight it when you're ready. You may need the Ultima weapon and Ragnarok. Don't forget to equip Antibody and Clear-Headed and armour that protects Shadow damage. Ozma is weak against wind an holy. Lastly, this boss got 4 great items to steal. I'm not going to spoil the fun but I tell you they're very rare and worth the few turns spending to steal.

Final Fantasy 3 music

After returning to Gaia from Terra, purchase the Doga's artifact and Une's mirror from the auction in Treno. Go to Black Mage Village and speak to the Black Mage standing in front of the phonograph inside the inn. This causes the music to change to FFIII. This special music will continue till you leave the village.

Renaming Characters

Tired of that stupid name, Zidane??? Don't press that reset button because there is an easier way. You can obtain a card called, Namingway Card, from Mario during the card tournament in Treno or inside Kuja's room during the sequence in the Desert Palace. Take the card to Daguerreo (South-West of wind shrine where there a bridge leading into a cave in the mountains) and talk to the man roaming the library on the mid level. He will ask to see the card and then be inspired to raname your characters for you.

Frog Catching

Running out of frogs to catch??? The trick is to leave a male and a female frog in the pond. They will then reproduce to have more frogs for you to catch. By leaving the gold grog with the male and female frog, reproduction is faster. Also when you catch 99 frogs, Quale will challenge you to a battle.

Acquiring the best weapons

Steiner's excalibur 2:

Just get to the terrace in memoria in 12 hours(from the beginning of the game) and search the platform for excalibur 2!

Steiner's excalibur:

Go to Treno and auction for the magical fingertip. Then, go to Daguerreo and talk to the old man on the highest level of the library(near the counter which offers rest). He will tell you his story then handing you the Excalibur.

Eiko's best flute:

In memoria, get to the place where a memory of Zidane's shows Alexandria being destroyed. Head towards that direction of the castle. Then search the sides of the path. This will allow you to find the flute.

Zidane's Ultima weapon:

This I'm not sure. Anyhow, play the chocobo's game first. After this use dead pepper on where shimmering island used to be. You should be able to get the ultima weapon.

How to beat Ozma...

All experienced FF9 players have surely found Ozma, FF9`s Weapon, an incredible strong enemy who is almost unbeatable. He´s located at a island on the back of Chocobo´s air garden. You just have to walk to the pile of stones that are on the island. Examine it and you will be offered to fight it. But you must equip all your characters to their fullest first to kill it. When I killed Ozma, I had in my party: Zidane, Vivi, Quina and Freya. I will show below all things my party had equipped, levels and abilities.

 Learn all Zidane´s skills and abilities (Icreases chance to withstand Ozma´s attacks)
 Equip these abilities:
 Auto-haste.
 Auto-life.
 Auto-regen.

 Before you fight Ozma you must make all characters (especially Zidane´s) Trance gauge to it´s fullest without making the characters go into Trance. That´s important because otherwise Zidane wouldn´t be able to attack Ozma (They don´t reach). When Zidane then goes into Trance, use Solution 9 on Ozma.
 
 And when fighting Ozma, you should start the fight by using Quina´s Mighty Guard to improve defense. Attack with Zidane´s Solution 9 and with Freya´s Dragon´s crest. Vivi should cast Flare and sometimes be in hold to revive a fallen caracter. And when Ozma uses the dreaded Curse spell, be fast with Quina to cast Angel´s snack to remove mini. If Quina should habe nothing to do, use the spell Frog drop. And if Zidane´s Trance should weare of, use his skill Thievery. Repeat these attacks and remember to revive, you will soon kill Ozma. I´ve heard that he only has about 55000 in Hp. I won´t soil the fun knowing what you will receive defeating him. That I will send in soon =)...

Best weapons:

These weapons are the characters strongest:

Zidane: ultima weapon
     tou have to take the blou chocobo first, then go to were shimmering island used to be and use a dead pepper and you will find ultima weapon in the treasure.

Vivi : mace of zeos
     in memoria by the left side of the stairs.

Freya: kain's lance
     at the right side of memorias entrance.

Quina: gastro fork
     cath 99 frog and Quale will challenge you for a match, if you defeat Quale he will give you quinas best weapon.

Eiko+Dagger: tiger racket
    if you have got any dead pepper, go to quan's dwelling and use dead pepper in the window were vivi was found and you will find tiger racket in the treasure.

Jaffar(the one who was send to kill Zidane and Garnet):rune claws
     it's in some where in memoria i don't know where but it is there.
 
Easy way to defeat ozma:

     my way is very easy you even don't need to get your character's level very hight lv 60,70 or even 50 is good enough.

Before the match:

     if you want to defeat Ozma you need Steiner,Zidane,Freya and Quina in your party members, you have to get ultima weapon for Zidane, there is no need for any excalibur for steiner because ragnarok is enough either, equip demon's mail on both of Steiner and Freya,demon's vest for zidane and pumice piece for quina, make shure every body have got auto life clear headed,antibody,bright eyes equiped in there ability,and the match will be easier if you equip bandit,mug,master thief on Zidanes ability either.

In the match:

     keep stealing by Zidane untle you take every thing Ozma have then keep using Thievery, Freya use Dragon's crest, Steiner use shock and quina use Mighty Guard and auto life for every one dies,if ozma use dreaded Curse let Quina use his Angel's snack. keep using Zidans thievery,Freyas Dragon's crest,Steiners shock and keep giving your charactars auto life if it has gone by Quinas auto life and if nobody need auto life or Mighty Guard use frog drop, blieve me you won't need alot of time to defat Ozma by thes way.
