Triple Triad actually taught you all of the rules.This one explains how the rules work and then says "You figure the rest out." yet no one had been able to explain what the numbers mean when you battle.I think that maybe each card ACTUALLY has a different power that your supposed to figure out on your own.
@toddcochran85 first number is power level, next letter is the type it is (power, magic, etc), next number is physical defense, last number is magical defense. the number that shows up when u put an attacking card down is the amount of points it gets against that card. sometimes u get lucky. you have to understand the game for it to be fun.
Triple Triad is real easy to understand. Get the higher numbers.
This game....It's confusing. It's the card battle that is confusing. During a battle, my card had 17 while my opponent had 5, but I still lost.....what the heck? Explain that
I'm at about 1600 wins right now. My team is an 8 arrow frog, 8 arrow Excalibur, 6 arrow viltgance, 7 arrow ark, and a 7 arrow Hades. I have not tried to get them all recently, though I got pretty close. I might start a new game just to collect them all.
FF9 had one of the best minigames ever... unfortunately it was not the Tetra masters card game but more the chocobo hot and cold game. Searching for treasures on a chocobos back... what more could one want.^^ This game could have been my favorite final fantasy game if stat maxing wasnt so annoing. I mean cmon playing the game until disc 3 without gaining a level and running away from almost every battle.... thats no fun at all. At least not for me....
Tetra master is probably the easiest and funniest card game in the FF series xD i had almost all cards too :P unfortunatley my game crashed but i got a file where i can beat the last boss easily so i can still play at that file but when i get to the antlion on the second disk it crashes. :'(
I have a noob question,i know that the triple traid in 8 are benefic for items and poweful spells,but the tetra master for what is benefic?i mean,what's the use playig tetra master?
i get a little confused when it comes to the letters in the cards. I know what PMXA and that F=15 but what about the others like a B or C. what number value do they have.
Hey how can I get the excalibur 1??? Please tell me, even i can't get the excalibur 2!!! Excalibur is the second to the strongest sword of Steiner right??? ( Hey, what is the difference of this two???)
In Treno, buy all the acclaimed items, sell them to different buyers in the city. A fat rich noble, the schiolar in the synthesis shop, and a red mage in the same area as the other 2 guys.
- rat tail, unes mirror, dogas artifact.
By disc 4, a Magical Fingertip spawns, then you give it to the old guy in Daguerro. Talk to him twice to recieve Excalibur. It has Climhazzard, which is cool when fighting the Yans on Vile Island
All with different arrows too? How are you managing that? I once had 90something cards, but they weren't all with different arrows, and I gave up on trying.
I don't know about that. I'm just trying to get all 100. I didn't even know you could level up the arrows! I don't have a full understanding of the game. I just found out about multiple card battles! All I need is the fat chocobo, chocobo, wraith, and 3 other cards to complete the collection. I have all the eidolon, magic, and ship, and special, and weapon cards
I don't think you level up the arrows... apparently to achieve the top rank in the cards, "Master" rank, not only do you need all 100 cards, but each card must have a different arrow pattern... and you must level up each card to have an attack of "A". It's too hard. I'd be shocked if anyone has ever done it. Those last cards are pretty easy to get. Good luck!
For the type of a card to change it has to battle other cards. Fortunately it doesn't matter whether it wins or loses, but as far as I know a card only has a 0.56% chance of changing from an X type to A each time it battles. As for the arrows, there's no way to change the arrows on a card, you'll have to collect cards with different arrow arrangements. There's 256 possible combinations so it is more possible than you might think at first, but whether it's worth doing is debatable at best.
i get a little confused when it comes to the letters in the cards. I know what PMXA and that F=15 but what about the others like a B or C. what number value do they have.
A card's stats are in hexadecimal, meaning that they represent the values 0-15 with numbers and letters. A stat ranges from 0-15, with 0-9 representing those values and A-F referring to 10-15 in ascending order.
The exact number a stat will be varies though and falls within a range depending on it's value, so for example an F means the number will be between 240-255. Hope this helps, there's an excellent faq on Gamefaqs under FF9 which explains far more about the game than I can say here.
Easier than FF 8 one ? C'mon man. It's like 10 times more complicated. In FF 8 I've started winning right away. In 9 I haven't even played this game later because after 20 loses I felt bored and confused what's happening. I still don't know what's going on in this game.
same.i have the quistis card.zell card.seifer card.squall card.eden card.shiva card nearly every fucking card in ff8.and the galbadian rules arnt all that bad either.this game...the "card battles" numbers appear...your card randomly loses even if its an alexandrian fucking card against a fucking flan one...WTF IS GOING ON
3P12 The three is attack power. The P is attack type. P is physical, M is magical, and X is "weakest stat", I think. 1 is physical defence. 2 is magical defence.
You have such good cards but you only used a couple of them like that skeleton is a good card......for the beginning of the game, but that last time when you won you did make some really good moves and even tho you lost twice, all that matters is you beat him, well that the way a like to look at it when i play anyways haha
I'm just playing this game for the first time because when it came out I was too young to understand the story cuz I didnt feel like reading so now I'm playin it
what determines the amount of points a card has when It goes into a card battle?
even though I'm probly not gonna get an answer till a month from now, I need to know
get rid of those cards theyer not good. If you check this vid closely he has cards like this to (at 1:19) thing is that those are usualy the worst cards they cant get much better.
and for the card you wrote its
0 attack
P physical
0 P defence
1 M defence
anyway even if you have higher attack it doesnt mean you always win for some reason.
I loved this card game. It was alot better than the one in FF8. In the FF8, They would always take your Rarest card. In this one it's usually a random card. and in this one if all cards are taken you COULD gain them all back by placing your last card down. But in the other one its hopeless if your in the same situation.

Asdayasman 3 years ago
X isn't weakest. P and M is basic then X is stronger wth A being the strongest...
its been so long since i played that i cant remember exactly what it means... I think: -
X - it chooses your opponenets lowest defense number to attack against
A - same as above but it also chooses your highest defense to defend with
Anyone: feel free to correct me if im wrong

Drummerdude1639 4 years ago
Ill try to explain it it took me a while to figureout to (I was like 13 when I played this but here is how it is)
-card battles are determened by those stupid arows if the arows meet then is the battle
Lets say card has 5P43
5 goes for attack power
P - physical attack (or M magical)
4 goes for P defence
3 for magical defence
I hope you understand it a little. Still ff 8 had a better card game :)
