Final Fantasy 9 - Compilation of Minor Glitches, Errors and Oddities
47Welcome to all fans of Final Fantasy 9,
This video shows some of the game's oddities, errors and minor glitches that I have spotted over the years of playing. The purpose is to give ideas to people who know how to mod the game.
Summary of the elements shown in the video:
* Collector's Rank glitch (timecode: 00:17).
* Eiko/Marcus battle stats glitch (a bug discovered years ago in the GameFAQs forums; timecode: 00:27).
* Amarant/Blank battle stats and levels glitch (timecode: 01:52).
* Dark blue chocobo's glitch related to Chocograph Pieces (timecode: 02:47).
* Graphical bug on 7 Tetra Master card pictures (timecode: 03:58).
* Rarity setting error in the deck of the Tetra Master opponent named "Shak" in Treno's card stadium in Disc 4 (timecode: 04:33).
* Oddities concerning the tactics/strategies assigned to Tetra Master opponents (timecode: 04:58).
* Bug of wrong choice of a Tetra Master battle (timecode: 05:21).
* Error in Eve's bulletin (timecode: 06:22).
* Ryan's disappearance in Alexandria's square (timecode: 06:37).
* Various 3D models errors of placement (Mini Burmecia, a floating goblet, Bunce, Lucella, Old Margaret and Marsha/Molly; timecode: 07:23).
* Oddity of South Gate's treasure chest (timecode: 10:22).
* Error in the number of cards to possess in order to obtain Hippaul's cards in the steeple (timecode: 10:48).
* Oddity concerning the Tetra Master card "Ozma" (timecode: 11:41).
* Frogs disappearance in Qu's Marsh due to the "8th slot bug" (info comes from the Qu's Marsh guide uploaded by SoftReset in GameFAQs; timecode: 12:16).
* Oddity of Red Dragons' battles unavailability (timecode: 13:15).
* Oddity of the impossibility to encounter Tonberries if Amarant is in the party, even if the party is constituted of 4 members (this is not a bug because this was intentionally coded; timecode: 14:35).
* Bug of Bomb's invisibility (info comes from the GameFAQs member "TheKusabi", who translated the Japanese guide "FFIX ULTIMANIA"; timecode: 16:32).
* Oddity of the preemptive strike against Hecteyes (I consider this is an oddity/error because some monsters, like the monsters in Crystal World or Adamantoise for examples, have been coded so that you cannot get a preemptive strike; timecode: 17:09).
Note that there are other minor elements like that in the game, not to mention the other elements that have already been covered in other Youtube videos.
