Once you have the ship, go to Matoya's Cave (somewhere
near Pravoca). Talk to a broom. It will say something that appears
like nonsense. However, notice that it says "Flipper over,
flip flip! Elcric dna trats!" Flip the line "Elcric
dna trats" and it spells: "Circle and start". Press
[Start] + [Circle] and you can view a world map.
Final Fantasy: Dragon Warrior
reference
Find the three tombs located next to the white magic
shop in Elfland. The tombstone farthest to the left reads:
"Here lies Erdrick"
"873-866"
"R.I.P."
This is a direct reference to a character in the game Dragon
Warrior.
Final Fantasy:
experience
Northeast of the port town of Provaka is a two space
wide peninsula with enemies from the Northern Continent. They
offer a lot experience and are difficult to defeat unless you
are around levels 12 or 13.
Throughout the game are certain "keyed" squares that
will always send you into battles, consisting of one to eight
specific monsters. Many of these squares are found directly in
front of treasure chests, or in rooms that have treasure chests.
If you keep going over the square, you will get into a fight every
time, against the same basic enemies (one or two, more or less).
By the time you reach the Earth Cave, you should be at about level
10. As you enter the cave, go directly left into what is referred
to as the "Hall Of Giants". In this place, with each
step you take, you will encounter at least one Hill Gigas. Step
into the first block that begins the Hall Of Giants. The most
common fight you will have is two Hill Gigas and two Lizards.
Winning this fight results in about 500 experience points each
time. It may seem boring, but it pays off to take the extra time
to level up here.
Final Fantasy:
Easy healing
After you get the Healing Staff, get in a battle with
any weaker monsters. Kill all but one of them, then have someone
use the staff and the others in your party use equipment that
do not do anything. Continue until fully healed. This works well
when going into the Ice Cave after the long river ride.
Final Fantasy: Adamant
Mech
Go through the Sky Castle until you find a room that
appears to repeat itself over and over. If you are very lucky,
you will fight a battle robot called War Mech that has powerful
attacks. This can take awhile, since War Mech is the rarest enemy
you can encounter randomly.
Final Fantasy: Zeus
Glove
Go to Bahamut's cave. Once you first enter, go to the
bottom left part. The Zeus Glove will appear in the items screen
if you are lucky -- There is a 1/300 chance of finding it.
Final Fantasy:
Easy healing
With the correct items, you can constantly keep your
party at full HP without using any MP. Find a battle with at least
one weak enemy. Kill all but that one monster. Along the way,
use the White Shirt for Invis2 to make your entire party invisible.
Once this is accomplished, you can set your strongest attacker
to use the Giant's Glove (casts Saber, and increases your attack
power). Set the other three characters to use the Heal Staff,
and the two Heal Helms. You can substitute any other item for
the Giant's Glove, but it is recommended because it does not do
any direct damage. A controller with an auto-fire feature is useful.
If one is not used, you will have to keep pressing the button
(when using items, holding the button will not automatically keep
the cycle going).

Final Fantasy:
No antidote when poisoned
If you are poisoned from a monster's attack, you will
stay in that status after the battle. Your character will lose
HP every step that you take. To avoid this, use your ship, canoe,
or airship. You will stay poisoned, but you will not lose HP.
This is useful when you are out of Antidotes.
Final Fantasy:
Concentration card mini-game
After getting the snowcraft, use it north of Salamand.
During the game in the snow area, hold [Circle] and press
[X](22).
Final Fantasy 2:
Faster airship
Repeatedly press [Circle] until the airship flies
faster. After that point, pressing [Circle] will toggle between
slow and fast movement.
Final Fantasy 2:
Easy HP and Strength
Go into battle, against Imp or another easy monster.
Hit yourself with two or three of your characters, and cure with
the other one. Do this a few times, then kill the monster(s).
You will gain HP and Strength, which is an easy way to built up
a character at the start of the game.
Final Fantasy 2:
Easy weapon experience
To easily gain experience with a certain weapon, get
two of the same weapon. Equip both to one person (left and right
hands) and fight monsters in the area that you are in. You will
get experience for each time you hit with that weapon. The same
thing happens with a shield, but with a shield, you cannot attack
with it.
Use the following trick to gain one weapon and armor level every
fight for the characters in the first three slots. After the opening
sequence, when you gain control of the warriors, leave town and
get in a fight with a low level monster such as a Hornet or Goblin.
If there are multiple monsters, kill all but one. With the characters
in your party, select "Fight" from the command menu
for everyone except the person in the fourth slot. Once you are
able to choose a command for the fourth character, cancel the
previous commands and then repeat the process over again. For
example, choose "Fight" from the choices in the command
list. Next, choose a target for your weapon to hit and confirm
your choice by pressing [X]. Cancel the choice you made by
pressing [Circle]. Repeat those three steps 100 times and
you will go up one level per fight. Note: When you first start
the game, you only have three characters in your party; you can
only do the trick for the first two persons.
Final Fantasy 2:
Training after Mythril
You must have completed the mission at Semite Falls
by acquiring the Mythril before attempting this trick. It is highly
recommended to have both Mindu in your party and to have gone
through enough training and leveling up to afford the best armor
and weapons at the time. Your characters should have their strongest
weapons (for example, Long Sword, Battle Axe, Mace) and armors
available (for example, Bronze Helm, Plate, Gloves, etc.). The
trip through Semite Falls should give your characters enough Gil
to make those purchases; if you are still short, fight more monsters
until you have enough money. After returning to Altair with the
Mythril, give it to Tobias at the Weapon Shop and he will forge
it into Mythril armor and weaponry. Buy what you can with your
remaining Gil (it is expensive), equip those armors (particularly
on those characters with the lowest HP), and use Mindu's Canoe
to sail northwest past Fynn Castle. Northwest of Fynn is where
the river stops; marshland and forests surround the immediate
area, and you will encounter several new foes including the Phorusracos
(a lavender-colored Loper), Deadringers, Spiketoises, Ogres, Ogre
Mages, Wererats, and Warlocks. These creatures rank two and three;
you have the best weapons and armor (and high proficiencies in
each), you will hardly make a dent in them. The best strategy
is to use magic to damage these enemies. When exhausted, sail
down to Gatrea to heal. Make it a priority to fight and defeat
as many of these creatures as possible. Warlocks frequently drop
higher level spell scrolls, such as Blind and Berserk, and sometimes
some Fire and Ice scrolls. Berserk boosts attack power, and can
also be sold for 5,000 Gil each. A rare, but infinitely valuable,
drop is the Mage's Staff; with an attack power of 42, give it
to any proficient Staff user and they will do remarkable damage
even against high-defense foes such as the Spiketoise. Ogres occasionally
drop Mythril Helms and Mythril Shields, and Ogre Mages will drop
Scrolls on occasion as well. Because these enemies are difficult,
your party will naturally increase its stats with each battle.
Save often to make sure you do not lose your progress.
