Final Fantasy IX Speedrun Part 60

Start of DISC 4 - Memoria/Entrance
Since Nova Dragon is weak against ice, Vivi can deal more damage to it than Freya can. Nova Dragon can deal major wind and water damage, but due to their equipment, Vivi and Steiner absorb wind and water, and Zidane and Amarant are immune to wind and halve water damage. The rest of the strategy depends on Nova Dragon not doing Shockwave at all, which WILL kill everyone.

How come you didn't skip fmvs? Did you not know how? Eitherway, nice times.

[EssentiaFour]

I submitted this speedrun to Speed Demos Archive, and they don't allow any hardware modification on their runs. Since you have to open the disc tray to skip FMVs, skipping them counts as hardware modification.

[Stoll07]

Ah, ok it's too bad you can't because there are like 50 minutes of FMVS through-out the course of the game.

[EssentiaFour]

Tell me about it. ;)

[MonsterDany]

Where did you get the ability MP turbo?

[EssentiaFour]

Red Hat, Power Belt, Battle Boots, and Cross Helm all have the MP Attack ability. I believe I used the Power Belt and maybe the Cross Helm to get it (can't quite remember).

2:30 - 4:00 is seriously the sickest thing in the whole game - visuals, music everything...

[Shipper08]

So if you could pwn the silver dragons in a few turns, what kind of damage would your cannons be doing ? lol

[Emylies8]

@Stoll07 A runner LOVE fmvs, everybody knows that xD

[Truepsycho]

I love that scene with all those dragons covering the sky.. What an epic battle!

[BaronSengir1008]

At 3:25, the dragons must have a major headache... lol.

[Kazamitsu07]

Couldn't agree more.

[wamoejenou]

My God, you must suck....

[JrMadness]

Angel Earrigns and Mytril helmet increases holy elem dmg, so with Holy Lance and Excalibur II you'll deal 9000+ to every enemy, Devil Monsters and Undead r weak against Holy elem attack, like the four Chaos and Necron

[JrMadness]

oh ye EssentiaFour, i got a good trick to deal more dmg, try to keep a angel earrings and try to synth a fairy earrings, you must have 2 mytril helmets and steal a Kaise Knuckles or buy it in dagerreo

is a good trick, becuz Fairy Earrings increases Wind elem dmg + Kaiser Knuckles(elem wind) you can deal about 7k and even 9999 dmg, so well with the exception of Tiamat that he Absorbs Wind elem Dmg(i think) i got a good tip "Flying monsters and Bosses r weak against Wind elem"
