100% Flan Princess x8 Encounter in Final Fantasy IV Advance

[Wade23581]

Yup, unfortunate to have a rare item that is so rare that it really isn't even worth getting, because by the time you can get it you'll never need it anyway.

1/160 or 1/256 chance doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get one after that many fights.

You could be terribly unlucky and never, ever get one no matter how long you play.

It's sort of like playing Diablo 2.

I just got a pink tail. It took over 300 godamned sirens. Characters are like lvl 92 and maxed gil lol

[PeteThePlayer]

@peronix8

Same here it really takes a hella load of tries because the drop engine in this game is completely horrible.

[tehSupernerd]

i think you can find these flan enemies if you use a siren in the lunar ruins. its the room where you got the red fang ( the room before the two bridges)

not very detailed but try to find it and ABUSE YOUR SIRENS

...i hope i'm correct anyway

[tehSupernerd]

@tehSupernerd oops i meant in the lunar subterrane

[Flamsterette]

Holy shit. I'm trying to get ONE Pink Tail right now, and it is NOT happening! Maybe I should Quicksave after every single fight so I don't waste more Sirens than I already have....

[PeteThePlayer]

@Flamsterette

No joke. It will take oyu forever to get one Pink Tail. It's just a pain in the ass. But all about luck.

[Flamsterette]

@PeteThePlayer My Youtube notification about this reply was mainly in German. Now I'm worried! :(

But I'm sure it is! I want to save SOME of the Sirens I have just in case I need them later!

Let's dance! Let's dance! Let's dance! Let's dance! Let's dance! Let's dance!

Party: O_O!

[PeteThePlayer]

@dlbrooks33

Party indeed =P

I knew about these things from some reading but I just couldn't for the life of me bother to continue this game. So repetitive all those towers, prefer pretty much all other FF parts over this one. Nice to see some video on what the fuss was about tho with flan princess.

[jas16899]

@MyMasterController I liked Kain and Cecil's trial in the Lunar ruins... but overall the game gets really, really repetitive in order to get all of the best weapons. Like, beating Zeromus several times and going through the same maps in the ruins several times. By now (level 80) Zeromus isn't even hard.

thank god for speed up

[zetsushoren]

This is on VBA?

[PeteThePlayer]

@zetsushoren

Yes but it works on a real GBA as well.

[94mav98]

I'm farming pink tails at the moment. Will try both places. But when I get to the Lunar Subterrane, will I be able to save nearby the room where I can hunt for pink tails, or will I have to go through a lot of stuff again before I'm able to retry if I reset? :)

[PeteThePlayer]

@94mav98

You can save before this room (That actually depends on the "floor pattern") and while you're in the room, you can still quick-save so you don't have to leave the ruins at all.

And even if you walk out of the ruins, you can easily get to this floor again.

[xython]

I wonder if this works in the new FF4 Complete Collection for the PSP. Supposedly, the original FF4 is a straight port (with new graphics and auto-battle) of FF4 GBA.

[PeteThePlayer]

@xython

I don't know about the FF4CC but I'd say it would work. Someone has to try it.

[Sean944]

@PeteThePlayer It works in the Complete Collection, was trying to get the Pink Tail for the Armor and stumbled onto your video about the 100% chance and tried it. Still works, Props to you and Darkkefka just saved me hours of time.

@Xython Your correct it's just a GBA Port over to the PSP with better graphics and some extra touch ups like Auto Battle. They still didn't fix that glitch in the Lunar Ruins with the Teleporter room you can get stuck still, but you can get out if you keep trying.

[PeteThePlayer]

@Sean944

Nice that I could help you in a way :D

[Demonh8ter]

@xython I wonder that as well.

[BokuraStyle]

what part of lunar ruins is where you are?

[PeteThePlayer]

@BokuraStyle

I'm not sure anymore. I think it was between Yang's and Kain's trial. Somewhere around there.

[Darkkefka]

So this works for you too?? Awesome.

And oh...to answer on my page..no I'm hunting cystal rings right now.

So this makes it 1/160 for each Flan princess encounter?? I like these odds better.

The best thing is we don't need sirens. We can quick save andn keep all the gil we earn.

[PeteThePlayer]

@Darkkefka

Well it's a good way. I will try to get an Adamant Armor for each main character.

[654Tidus654]

Does this works on FFIV DS too?

Great trick BTW.

[PeteThePlayer]

@654Tidus654

credit goes to Darkkefka :P

and no, on Ds version it shouldn't be possible, because this is in Lunar Ruins. GBA only.

Not even DS version has it :D

[XzarDragon]

You could have continued viding after encountering them

[PeteThePlayer]

@XzarDragon

why?

There was no need imo :P

I have shown random battles, one flan battle, then again randoms and the next flan encounter :P

[XzarDragon]

@PeteThePlayer just to show how the battle ended :P

[greeksephiroth]

the next DarkKefka

[PeteThePlayer]

@greeksephiroth

no

the one and only PeteThePlayer :P
