Final Fantasy IX - Stealing from Hilgigars - RNG Manipulation

In this video I try and Steal the Fairy Flute from Hilgigars. Captured using FRAPS on ePSXe. What you can hear in the background is a Howard Stern clip show... sorry, but doing this was REALLY boring. The FRAPS capture of the battle was about an hour and fifteen minutes.

If you're playing this game on an emulator, you can hit save state before attempting to Steal, and if you don't get the result you want, you hit load state and then save state before trying to Steal again. This way the game's clock keeps running and the random number generator gives you another chance. You need to set ATB to Wait, or else your enemy will get to take turns too.

I feel sorry for anyone who bothered to Steal the Fairy Flute without cheating...

nice video~~~but can i know how to complete the rope jumping by setting frame rate limiter?

[cactuarenigma]

Well... you set the frame rate limiter, then since it's all slowed down you can do the jump rope game much easier. Also don't be afraid to use save states while you're doing it, just alternate slots so you don't overwrite one when you fail.

i got this after 5 steals on my psp.......and then i woke up

That Fairy Flute must be stuck up WAY his a** for it to take THAT long to steal. Nabbing the Demon Mail from Tantarian is a pain as well.

wow, what level are you?!

I got the fairy flute and it only took me 35 min. I went crazy trying to get the last thing. But one of my party members went into trance and I was holding the L1 and R2 during the trance. It must have open a glitch in the fight and that's how I got it. I did something that very few players did with out cheating or using some sort of device to hack the game. FF9 is one of the best role playing games ever, but very few players from around the world can every truly understand it like me.

I swear to god it's been like half an hour since when I started this battle and I have done nothing but trying to steal the damn flute with no success.

[aceitalia83]

Thanks a lot for this, I would not be able to go on in the game without stealing this flute...the best part was, i had knocked his HP down so low that when i finally stole the flute i had Mug equipped and he just died after i stole it, made it a sweet victory. F U Hilgigars.

boss is really easy, hardest is steal flute :)

[TheLolo3232]

I tired your way and after a few times i got it :) THX ALOTS

p.s/the flute is damn awesome XD

Just played that battle on my PS1 copy a minute ago.

Auto potion ate through 99 potions and 99 hi-potions.

EVERY CHARACTER achieved and wasted three Trances.

Eiko and Dagger ate through my entire stockpile of ethers.

I lost the battle without getting the Flute.

For a legendary thief, Zidane is shit at grabbing something as big as a flute off a giant with not many places to hide a flute.

You know what, Hilgigars? FUCK IT. Keep your fucking flute.

[SoyuzBot]

I just tried it today on PS3 and took me 20 minutes until I gave up and decided to kill the motherfucker out of frustration with Lucky 7. My Zidane even got into trance mode twice and still couldn't get the fairy flute.

Stealing Coral Sword from Lani was a pain as well.
