Author Information 5.) Contributor Credits 6.) Authors Conclusion 7.) Authors Notes __________________________ / Chapter 1: Introduction. \___________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= Final Fantasy IX, a game which has already attained legendary status if any game ever has. It brings together the gaps between old school RPG & and fans of games like Final Fantasy VIII by putting together a awesome story line like VIII had, but then also using the older lookin graphics which add the old school charm. A huge amount of expectation was set on this game, and I would have to say it meets it all pretty well. This is the last installment of the series that we will see on the Playstation1 and the last normal installment, as the next two will be online only. I think any fan of the series, new or old school will enjoy, & should get this game, it is a true classic. There are some innovations in it which Square has worked up to and finally perfected in the last 8 games. So I kind of like to think of this as the Final Fantasy game in its complete and perfect form, because they have had a span of 8 games to decide and create what would make this game so special, and they did It very well. _____________________________ / Chapter 2: Revision History \________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= Version 1.0 (12/1/00) The very first version of this guide contains information on all of the basic characters, and later I will try to get more in-depth on some of the characters of less importance. I am debating about adding an magic section to the FAQ, looks promising. Version 1.1 (12/2/00) I totally reformatted the guide, and decided to change of few things in the disclaimer and contact policy. I also changed a couple things on a couple of the biography sections, and that is about it for now. Another update for today is most likely. ____________________________ / Chapter 3: Character Guide \_________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Vivi Description: Vivi is a mage, and apparently he is not very sure about his history. I Would have to say that he is my favorite character, a quiet and mystic Of a creature. He has some crazy strong magic when he really needs it. Physically he is a very small and oddly dressed fellow, wearing blue & And a large tan hat. Look for him to be very important to your game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL ABILITY: BLACK MAGIC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The very nature of Black Magic is to destroy or attack. Vivi learns most of his spells from wooden staves that you can find or purchase as the game progresses. Vivi should start each battle by using his first couple of turns to "Focus" his magical powers. This is a command on his battle menu, and it can increase the power of his spells. Vivi learns some incredibly powerful magical attacks, but because his physical strikes are so weak, he depends on spell-casting to an extreme. Thus, Vivišs abilities are practically negated if the enemy casts a Reflect spell. To counter this, a White Mage (like Dagger or Eiko) must cast Reflect on herself, and then Vivi can bounce spells off of her at the enemy. Arguably, Vivišs most powerful spell is the Doomsday spell, which inflicts Shadow damage upon everything on-screen. Prepare your party accordingly when Doomsday is cast, and learn how to use it effectively against enemies. Your party must be equipped with armor and accessories that nullify or absorb Shadow damage; otherwise, the spell will inflict massive damage on everyone. To use Doomsday most effectively, have Vivi and Steiner collaborate to cast Doomsday Sword, which enables Steiner to focus Vivi's magic onto a single enemy instead of everyone.

Visit: http://www.vfaqs.net/ -+- Jeff Veasey: The webmaster of GameFAQs.com, he deserved enough for just doing that, but he is also a good author.

I would like to thank all of the contributors in the credits one more time, and also ask that you support all of their stuff. There are some important things pertaining to this guide in the Authors Notes section, so if you are interested, check that out, if not thanks and I hope the guide was helpful, and have fun with Final Fantasy IX. __________________________ / Chapter 7: Authors Notes \___________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================= Note #1: Regarding the ISP address thing up in the heading of the guide where it says NA, I am getting one, so as soon as I do I will add it in there. I am also reformatting the guide completely over the next couple of days, so hopefully it will be in there by the time I'm done. Note #2: If anyone can make good ASCII art for the game, it would be a very appreciated thing. There is a request up at the top, so here is a few things you should know about it. It should fit within a 72 margin. Meaning it can only be 72 characters (spaces, letters, numbers) long. Note #3: A few of the characters have their Bio info done, but they do not have a magic or weapons section, please be patient, I am working on this. This is only for like 2 of them, so I think you will make due.

I am sure you have read through the copyright and are thinking, "Well what are the odds he would find my site." Don't think that, because it would be very sad to have your domain name taken away by the vendor and your account revoked for plagiarism and fraud of copyrights laws. Another mistake would be thinking this copyright isn't legal, it is perfectly legal under the international copyright law. Now if you still don't think so, I am sure your domain provider would think the same as I do, so don't push it. I have no problem with you using my guides under the terms in the disclaimer, but plagiarism is serious and very disliked by myself, and most of my friends who are authors as well so please just ask permission, it's really not that hard to send email.
