Let's Play - Final Fantasy IX: Part 19 "Occupation Forces"
Use 'Beginning' for the first part, 'Cooperation' for the second part, and 'Silence' for the third part. You must choose either 'Hero' or 'Human' for the final part, and explaing your choice to Ramuh. It doesn't matter which one you use, but it puts a slightly different slant on the story. Afterwards, you will receive a Peridot, which will allow Dagger to learn the Ramuh summon. Zidane wonders what the purpose of the test was, and Ramuh explains his thinking behind it.
The party is now ready to go to Lindblum. Jump off the cliff, and you will find that you're just in time to witness the great city's destruction. Brahne is continuing on her rampage, and Dagger's horror at seeing it is almost palpable.
When your party arrives at the city, Vivi is instructed to hide, and the other two proceed. You can talk to the Alexandrian Soldiers, but they won't attack you. Enter the inn and go upstairs. Talk to Moodon and give him the letter from Serino. Check Mognet again, and you will get a letter from Ruby. Check it a third time and get the letter for Moonte. Go back outside and run up to the next screen. Search the rubble at the back for a Lindblum Card. Enter the Card Freak's house next door and read Card Collector 8, then open the chests for an Ether and a Phoenix Pinion. Go back outside and examine the remains of the pickle stand, then continue to the next screen. Minister Artania is there, and he will take you to Cid. You will learn how Brahne has managed these attacks, and her conditions for the surrender of Lindblum.
Vivi is brought in as a prisoner of war, but Cid vouches for him. Your party has to go to the Outer Continent, it seems, but normal means of transportation are unavailable. Cid suggests an alternate method, and gives you 3000 gil to shop before your trip. An escort will take you to Lindblum Square. Behind you, you will find Alice, whose shop has been destroyed. She still has a few things, so stock up if necessary. Enter the shop on the right, and you will learn that Dragoos has raised prices for the occupation forces, but he will give you a discount. (You can see the prices he is charging the Alexandrian soldiers if you look in the right corner.) He has a huge selection, so get some new equipment here.
Back outside, head to the upper left, because Torres is in business. Examine the fire, then do some synthesis. The Exploda should be your first priority, as Zidane has been in need of a new weapon for some time. Equip Zidane and Dagger with any upgrades that you have, and go down to the shopping area.
Continue down Main Street to the air cab station, and go to the Theater District. (The Industrial District, you may have noticed, is no more.) Go down into Michael's studio, and get the Ore from the Chest. The Pigeon Lover by the stairs outside the station has a sad observation to make. Go down the stairs and talk to Lowell at the bottom of the screen. Tell him about Ruby's mini-theater, and he will take off , followed by a smitten Alexandrian soldier. Enter the Tantalus hideout and talk to the kids, then get the 340 gil on the platform, 262 gil at the upper right, and 993 gil at the lower right. Return to the station and head back to the Business District. (You may have noticed that there are signs in the air cab stations indicating that each air cab trip will cost 200 gil starting tomorrow. Clearly they are under new management.) Go back to where you left your escort waiting and tell him that you are ready to go.
Go down to the Base Level of the castle, where Vivi is waiting. Cid arrives soon, having facilitated your escape. He gives the party what Zidane thinks is a rag, but is actually a national treasure - the World Map. Get on the trolley.
At Dragon's Gate, talk to Moonte, and give him the letter from Moodon. Save the game, and talk to the merchant. He will give you a little info and sell you equipment and items. When you're ready, exit to the Eunorus Plains.
