Final Fantasy IX Speedrun Part 9b

Dali/Storage Area - Lindblum Castle/Dragon's Gate
This is the longest segment of this run. I could have split this in Lindblum, in order to get a faster time in the festival hunt; however, any time saved from that would not be enough to offset the time of saving and reloading. As Steiner, you have to wait for Morrid to walk so far down the steps before he'll enter his hut, so I have just enough time to pick up 135 gil and a Hi-Potion. Observing the barrel is about 6 seconds faster than poking it with the sword, but may not be as humorous. I never did quite figure out Black Waltz 2; most of the time he casts Fira on everyone, but sometimes he doesn't. I needed to steal a Steepled Hat here (or so I thought--see Black Waltz 3 battle) so that I wouldn't have to visit the weapon shop in Lindblum. The battle went all right, I guess. Black Waltz 3 went perfect, although I was expecting Zidane to steal a Linen Cuirass (but not depending on it). The Zidane loses the Festival of the Hunt when he is unable to distinguish between foe and self, but at least Freya will share her Coral Ring. Buying 11 Potions and 11 Phoenix Downs was for safety reasons, but looking back, I probably didn't need to buy them.
