Final Fantasy IX - Tantalus Goodness

So, while I was playing my Max Stats file I started to mess with a few coding cheats that I had from CWCheats. I saw a code that have all party members learn their abilities. "Well, that code pretty much speaks for itself." I thought, so I tried it to see if it would work. And it did. However, I went into the equipment menu for Amarant and suddenly he could equip swords but not claws. Quina could equip Cinna's Hammer, and Eiko swords as well.

Then I go into battle and Amarant is replaced with Blank, Quina with Cinna, and Eiko with Marcus. That makes sense as in the game they are linked. Blank reflects Amarant's level and stats and Marcus reflects Eiko's.

The thing is, it works perfectly...but that isn't even the half of it. Watch the video and annotations to find out the true awesomeness of this.

There are also a few drawbacks as I will explain in the video, but they are nothing in comparison to Tantalus.

Also, sorry for the sound running slow. I don't really play PSX on the computer through Emulation and after hours of trying, this is the best I could get that's tolerable IMO. Just stick with me on that one.

What? I never knew that Cinna had a portrait. I think they planned to add Cinna as full party member.

At least he was probably planned as a temporary. both Blank and Marcus were temporary for the times they were with you, so it makes as much snese that Cinna was planned as well.

Since his hammer attack is weak and he's weak defensively, it was probably close to the beginning.

I wonder what happens if you try the "Eat" ability with Cinna :D

Really awesome ! Can they actually learn abilities? I mean not equip them but learn them.

Oh, and can you send me the codes please? ^_^

PS: Cinna looks like a clown... a scary clown o.O

[XhaosXin]

I'm not sure if they can learn abilities.

The only way that I currently know to get this cheat to work is to activate the "Learn all abilities" cheat, which means they learn everything.

However, I doubt they can, seeing as though the weapons that equip are different and Blank and Marcus have never been able to equip or learn abilities anyways. However, I'll look that over for you

I'll see if I can get that codes somehow.

Interesting.

Thanks for sharing! It was nice to see the Tantalus group actually fight other than in Disc 1. I never imagined Cinna having those icon things. xD Excellent work. :) Thank you for sharing!

Ok, would be kinda awesome to know if they can learn them ^^ But I somehow doubt that as well
