Hint: AP from ladybug:
After you have found the ghost outside of Treno which gives
you 10 AP, it says something about thanking a ladybug. The ladybug is
outside of the Mage village near the forest area. The ladybug will ask
you for some ores. Give the ores to the ladybug and she will say
something about a Yeti, and give you 10 AP.
Hint: Hidden monster in book:
On Disc 3 in Alexandria, you have to search for Eiko and
Garnet (on the Eidion) inside the castle. Before you walk up the tower
to save her, make sure you go to the castle's library. On the third
shelf you can see a book. When the "?" appears above Zidane's
head, you will have two choices - Listen or Ignore. Choose
"Listen" and the book will respond "Challenge me if you
dare". Challenge it and you can steal a few good items including
Elixer, Silver Fork, Devil Mail, and Ether. The book is not the actual
enemy -- there is a creature hidden in one of the pages. After every hit
the book changes pages with the monster hiding in one of them randomly.
This is when you are supposed to attack him with a strong attack, and he
will hide again.
Hint: See Amarant's full face:
To see Amarant's full face, defeat him at Madain Sari. When
he is shown giving up, the view will pan from the ground looking upwards
at Amarant's face.
Hint: Use Amarant for gil and weapons:
If you have Amarant in your party, fight to earn money. Once
you have this money, buy extra weapons. In a Boss battle you can do a
lot of damage by throwing these weapons. Some examples are: Gladius,
Zorlin Shape, Rune Tooth, etc.
Hint: Saved game Moogle:
When at the load or save menu, press Select to make
the Moogle appear. The Moogle will tell you the levels of all four
possible characters, as well as HP status.
Hint: Cloud and Squall reference:
After you complete the game with either ending, you will
watch part of a play. The line "Neither Cloud nor Squall shall stop
me." can be seen.
