[@ChamplooMusashi]

In FFIX there is a hidden mechanic where leveling up with certain equipment gives partial points towards stats. Optimally you would stay as low level as possible and then have the optimal items equipped to gain the maximum amount of stats for a desired character. Note that the equipment available to you at this point in the game isn't going to be the best for gaining the partial stats, but it still makes a decent amount of difference if you were to level up into the 50+ range

[@Primalliquid92]

Stat maxing in FF9 is a largely wasted venture, with or without max stats your still going to crush everything and Ozma will be the same, he'll ether get crushed or you'll get crushed by his meteor. sure its nice to do but in no way is it needed for anything

[@daegograndynte2771]

I'm years late to this but have learned a lot I never though of, thank you. Did anyone else buy Reflect Ring from the Auction house, back track, and repeatedly have the Grand Dragons Thundaga themselves to death?? A bit of a grind for Everyone to learn reflect, but I managed to farm Dragons with a single reflect, a coral ring, and abusing Quina's Pumpkin Head ability. This was the first playstation game I ever played, always wished I could go back and relive the childhood awe, then I find the remaster 20 years later. Life is good.

[@DutchDread]

You forgot to mention that you need to do all of this at lvl 1, in FFIX, the strength of your gear determines how much strength you gain while leveling, so you need to collect al the best gear possible for each character that you can get on disc one before leveling them up for the maximum outcome.

[@davidbeenjammin]

Took me way too long to realize he was saying Burmecia.

[@plasticflower]

I remember in this game, without putting much effort into grinding the characters were by the end so powerful, the regular non-optional bosses couldn't defeat me even if I did nothing, because my auto-regen healing was stronger than the damage they could do.

[@willianzorzi6026]

Man auto regen is so op, it ticks so fast and all you need is use some spell with longer animation since you play on "real time" you got full HP back in one eidolon maybe 1 round of normal attacks

[@vdKingpin]

I'm surprised you didnt farm the infinite spawning plant spiders. When running from the mist forest after fighting the flower when you run away from the plant spiders they will spawn an infinite amount if you kill them. Just use a controller or set commands on PC to toggle spam X and you can just keep killing them. Or you can manually fight if you want. Just heal every once in awhile and once you get high enough level you can leave it alone for a couple hours. Gets a ton of levels extremely easy. Also a lot of items to sell.

[@Primalliquid92]

the problem is time it takes, and the gil isnt that great either. plus while doing grand dragons you can also work on finishing off frog catching.

[@vdKingpin]

[@clawdane2611]

However you also got wrecked by the inverted dungeon

[@zhaoyun255]

And then later on, I found out that it's very important to keep the character low level until you got the best gear since stats bonus was based on the equipment so like FF8, I learned the hard way NOT TO GRIND (Well, except Marcus though because his stats will transfer directly to Eiko regardless of her level. )

[@chrisy2128]

.... what's a qwana?

[@Abdullah_A]

@primalliquid I used auto reflect on every character, you can learn from item in chocobo treasures, and bought 99 phoenix down then hit them with fire or fira (I don't remember), then 9999 damage will reflect back to that (green) grand dragon, this was my easy way to level up in disk 1, revive any one die and save after every few fights.

Thank you for keeping this game alive man. I love this game.

[@double2254]

Is it sad I did 90% of this? FFIX is my all time favorite game so I wanted to get max level on disc 1 (first it was kill a grand dragon without limit glove then just get max level). All I didn’t do was capture 99 frogs cause my game got stolen from me Got to level 99, all chocobo hot and cold (done on PS1 so no booster), all chocobo treasure chests, every stealable item, every ability learned, every blue magic possible, and the first grand dragon killed without limit glove (a true boss battle since I was level 30ish when I did this)... all that was left to do was capture 99 frogs and beat Quale Also you can augment your stats in FFIX with equipment (like having EVs from Pokémon, example having the attack accessory equipped makes your attack go up slightly more with each level up and this works with every equippable item not just accessories) so to truly become the strongest you can get you would have to go through all of this as level 1 (only killing bosses and fleeing from the rest... bosses don’t give XP) until you beat Quale, do all of the chocobo stuff, and synthed everything possible to get the best equipment possible. Afterwards defeat the forced black mage battles to get to the rest of the area to get the rest of the remaining best gear for all 4 characters then start leveling to 99 to get the equipment augment boosts... This is incredibly tedious and practically impossible (yes this is technically possible) and no normal person would actually do this. Just a cool little hidden mechanic in the game, this is why if you go through the hassle of getting to level 99 on disc 1 you are almost guaranteed to be much weaker overall then you would be if you leveled up regularly throughout the game (as you will get better equipment as you go so better stats per level up)... you can max out your stats on every character by getting to the endgame of disc 4 as low level as possible and get the best in slot gear for everyone before leveling up anyone (again no normal person would go through with this just a cool hidden mechanic for midmaxers and preventing excessive early game grinding)

There have been lv1 guides since the ps1 era. With the newer versions you can just use boosters with no encounter to do lv1 challenge.

[@zleo7054]

Its pronounced Kee-na. All the blue mages name have kee sound. Quina,Quistis, and Kimahri

[@kaikwonfu2633]

@@zleo7054 Yea, i always heard them as like kwin-a and kwistis. Not kee. Even kimahri was ki as in kill not ki as in kee. Even the game designers never said it them like kee. That just sounds like the pronunciation of a 3rd grader.

I love that the timer doesn't also speed up during Chocobo hot n' cold when using the boosters

[@bayardkyyako7427]

I don't know how much more profitable it is but you can buy the materials for the Glass Buckle in Lindblum and the Glass Buckle sells for more than you make it for, again, not sure if it's more profitable than the Cotton robe trick or not. I was really tired and didn't calculate it right and I just forgot over time.

[@reed3863]

[@jeremyoakes1]

So much regret lol. Thanks for the playthrough!

[@DiddyCanFly]

I like how this is still a relatively tame entry if you’re going to for overpowered early. Very impressive!

[@Primalliquid92]

yea its not to bad to break

[@DiddyCanFly]

@@Primalliquid92 8 can have Squall putting people to sleep in one hit faster than Mike Tyson could do in his prime before you even level up a few times.

[@Rs3mocha]

i beat ff9 when it first came out never went back to it because of the grind heavy mechanics it had. especially that chocobo grind, i dont even remember the premise of it but i remember it was hell

[@MrOnosa]

Okay so first we're gonna need lots of gil, then it's frog time. 🐸x99 Hey so, I took a sick day today and spent much of it watching your ffviii, ffix, and ffx overpowered videos. They're super entertaining! Really, I love them. I have some feedback. (Not that I could do any better, I'm not nearly as patient as you!) On the Ifrit one, I would have loved to have seen you actually fight Ifrit. Also, sometimes you trip over your words while explaining everything, which isn't a big deal, but why not rerecord those parts? Then again, that didn't happen on this video. Finally, thank you for making the video 99% solid content, with only a brief introduction and outro. That's wonderful.

i guess it's more simpler for me, i fight enemies for hours to level up.

This man is insane. Instead of just crunching the numbers, talking about it and showing some irrelevant video footage to fill the empty space, this crazy guy *actually does what he is talking about* and spends hours and hours on end to proof his theories. Here. Have your like, comment and subscribe. You have more than earned it for hard work, dedication and probably a lot of self loathing.

[@Primalliquid92]

i dont think i have enough self loathing yet, hence im working on FF10 overpowered xD

[@Simotin]

Grind fest maximum. :D

[@stresa1638]

this also helps freya deal max damage later too with her dragon crest ability too... which is awesome to deal 9999 with just 16 mp

[@MrNobo15]

How overpowered can you get before leaving Cornelia in FF1? Jk nobody would have the patience

[@chaoskiller6084]

There isn't much of anything there anyway besides lv99

[@JigsWithoutWoodstock]

Not mentioned, but you can also get four accessories for Freya (Barette, Anklet, etc.) from Chocobo's Hot and Cold, but they're really rare.

[@Primalliquid92]

i do mention the rare accessories and even get some of them

[@GamingRobioto]

Great video :) But your pronunciation of Quina and Burmecia huts my ears. I've always pronounced Qunia Queen-a and Burmecia Bur-me-ci-a not Bur-meck-e-a. But as the game never tells you who knows what is right....? I've fought the Grand Dragons to level 50 ish before but soon started again as the game was boringly easy after that.

[@mr.battle20]

I pronounce them the same way as well. I think Primalliquid is just one of those people who marches to the beat of his own drum.

[@resorufin6164]

This too so long that Vivi's timer ran out. Great vid! FFIX is my favorite FF.

[@chadmabe7069]

If you put in the time you can lvl grind to lvl 100 before the first boss will take alot of hrs to grind bc you will have to repeat process for all your chars

[@unskillfullymasterful]

i know letting zidane wins doesnt do anything BUT i can never stand losing bcus a date with dagger is worth it

[@mcsamalot]

Loved the video but cringed at most of your pronunciation

[@ReiEvangelista]

I wouldn't level up anyone until I get to disc 4 in the black mage village. That's where you get the best stat up equipments and how you maximize the stat boost per each level up. 🙂

[@Tortugostalker]

Its not a waste of time, i did this years ago when the game came out for PS1 on my 3rd playtrough and today i regret nothing. Heck i even feel proud to this day after so many years.

[@hurly_bird]

Quarna is crazy

[@Atom-yb5dy]

True way to get op. Do an Excalibur 2 lvl 1 perfect game run. Then only lvl up on disc 4 when you have the best stats raising gear

[@Primalliquid92]

not quite, i actually have a video going into detail on this exact thing coming in a week or two showing off the "max" and a "normal max" you might be surprised with the results and differences

[@marshallbarbee8933]

pulled the extension accessory from the choco game on disc one hehehehe, auto potion

[@danielequarino3628]

If there's one thing you don't really need to farm is Guils. Levelling levels and abilities will result in having more than you need.

[@ArrancarfighterOfficial]

On the first area where you control Steiner in the castle an infinit number of soldiers will continue to run towards you, all you have to do is stand there. I leveled up Steiner there and the rest of the game was an utter breeze. Ozma was easier, Kuja was Easier, getting all the best items and gear was easy and Necron died in like two turns

[@cryangallegos]

I remember the first time I happened upon the Grand Dragon in the early game lol Got wrecked hard.

[@AyyRalphy]

I hardly leveled up on disc one but with the Grand Dragons whew 😥!! Easy 99. I waited to get Marcus to Level 99 took forever in Treno omg had it on overnight too but it was so worth it for Eiko. The whole transfer lmao!!!!

[@markbriggs8633]

Speedrun wiki has the fastest time on how to beat the game. The question you should ask is what the minimum level and equipment you need to beat the game assuming you're teleported to Disc 4 or the end. I know this will make Primalliquid mad but there's no reason to build up this way when the spoiler: the last boss is too easy. You have a collection of digital information we can't use. I congrats you on your dedication but there's easier ways to do things. It's not your fault. The designers didn't make it a requirement for players to know everything about the game to beat. Unsure how it would effect sales/gameplay as you know.

[@Primalliquid92]

COMPLETELY missed the point of the video

[@captainunload]

Watching this reminds me why I stopped playing JRPGs. Skyrim: Collect your components along your fun-filled adventure and exploration. Final Fantasy: Spend 20 hours of your life trying to catch frogs in a swamp.

[@yudiezekiel4031]

lv5 death is easier to kill grand dragon. And btw garnet can summon shiva, atomos, odin, bahamut , after evil forest, if you patient enough to gain level haha. I only manage to shiva.

I would level grind Zidane in the Evil Forest and Ice Cavern stages simply for the satisfaction of one-shotting the Black Waltz and Sealion with a Tidal Flame.

[@paddyDeeful]

you synth the coral ring for all your party members and the dragon above gilmukes grotto cant hurt you with lightening. You gain point so quickly. Back in the day I'd grind til they were lvl 70. Then I got tired of it haha.

[@Primalliquid92]

you cant synth the corel ring that early, only one you can get disc 1 is from the festival of the hunt

[@paddyDeeful]

@@Primalliquid92 ahhh. thanks for the correction.

[@alexanderrahl7034]

I got this on my phone. And I was really expecting you to bring up the fight at the beginning where you flee the forest from the monsters that endlessly spawn after you. I just sat Zidane at the entrance of the spawn and turned on auto battle and speed up, making sure to check every few minutes for a heal, and left it there for a couple hours for exp. I was giddy when I saw it because it reminded me of the sinscale fight in 10 lol. But no, you didn't bring it up at all lol

[@Primalliquid92]

its because at that point you have no gear available for bonus stats on level up, hence why i waited before leveling

Another grand video

[@odokata3503]

I'm a perfectionist... I admit that farm 8 protect Ring... 68,000 chocobo points + 40,000 points for 4 Robes of Lords, it's a bit long... Knowing that, even with the Speedhack brought by the Moguri Mod it's still a bit long but it's really useful because you only earn the bonus points after you have found the 8 treasures of the forest, at normal speed it just seems impossible to have this bonus and recover all these objects will take centuries. In addition, you earn about 200 points... But that's only when everything goes well! can you imagine without the bonus points ? without the Speedhack ? win around 15/30 points, eternity would not be enough to recover everything !

[@Kradily]

Sad thing is I grinded on disk one back when it first came out, when I got rekt by Beatrix I thought maybe if I'm higher lvl I can win and have bragging rights at school ...me and 10 other kids said nope even with a game shark she rekts you sideways...good times!

[@Skinineful]

Queen Brahne was impressed by this video.

[@blackwidow7804]

I farm GD once i get lv5 Death for Quina. No need to farm them sooner than on Disc 3. Once you reach about lv 60 it goes too slow and its better to go for Yans. Sleep and Odin is your best friend there. Btw when you kill GD you also boost Dragon Crest. Kill 100 Dragons = quaranted 9999 dmg.
