Final Fantasy: Top 10 Difficult to obtain Items 

Let's have an understanding........... I will work on speaking more clearly from now own and I may have to get a new Mic. I know that it's hard to understand me sometimes, but the only times people post comments about the way I talk are in my POPULAR videos. You can hate on the video and dislike it all you want, I don't give a fuck. However,I will not tolerate people insulting me on my talking. I don't mind advice or a little contructive critizism, but posting insulting comments is something I'm not going to put up with. And I DEFINITY will not tolerate racial comments. Yes, I'm black...and if you have a problem with my skin color, you need to unsubscribe to me right now. Saying things like " Black people can't talk" only proves your stupidity and ignorance.

Whoa whoa whoa! Nobody likes Blitzball? I spent stupid amounts of time playing it!

Blitz Ball is the best mini game ever. I'm not even sure why fans hate it or think it's difficult.

I've never had a hard time understanding you.

As someone who got everyone's ultimate weapons and sigils in FFX I can honestly say fuck the Chocobo mini-game!

“Here’s the top 2 items...to get these you will have to have no life outside of video games” Me - Watches video during COVID quarantine...”sounds right up my alley”

Excalibur 2 is even harder to get in international versions because the frames run at 50hz instead of 60, but the timer still runs the same. Basically the game runs about 15% slower, so you need to get to the end of the game in 10 hours instead of 12.

Tidus's Chocobo racing, anyone? For his ultimate?

Take a shot every time Darkkefka says "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING..."

These people that have said that they got the *Pink Tail* after a few tries... Guys, the drop rate is in percentage. It means that if you got it after a few fight with the Flan Princess, you're lucky, and that's it. I'm assuming you also got the patience to have 99+ Siren (and I'm talking about stealing 1 item from 1 enemy). If you didn't get the *Pink Tail* and used all of your Siren, then you have to go back to Lunar Dungeon and get another 99 Siren. Unless you've done it before, you don't know how tedious it is (you can buy them in the DS version, making it somewhat easier, and not to mention that Treasure Hunter doubles the chance of item drop). Please don't make it as if the *Pink Tail* is easy to get, because it is not, and I have a legit proof.

The clip from FF IV somehow amused me, how the hell do the characters manage to get caught by surprise when they are the ones calling the enemy?

Brother is the fastest blitzball player... you can win easily with him in the team

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Paladin Shield from FFVI. In order to acquire this item you have to: - Recruit Locke by completing the Phoenix Cave in the WoR. This is one of the most difficult and time-consuming dungeons in the entire game. - Use Locke to find the Cursed Shield in Narshe. - The Cursed Shield gives stat penalties; -7 to Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Magic and no boosts to Defense, Evasion, Magic Defense, and Magic Evasion. It inflicts Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, and Sap on the wearer. It also makes the user weak to Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison, Earth, and Water. Only after winning 256 battles with this item can you get the Paladin Shield. There are ways you can make it easier but it is still extremely time consuming to win those battles. Let's not forget that even if you equip a Ribbon on the wearer, they STILL have doom at the start of the fight, for 256 battles. Have fun with that.

Doing that chocobo minigame for the Sun Sigil is probably the closest thing to impossible in the Final Fantasy series. I beat it in a relatively short amount of time, but it's completely dumb luck. You could spend days trying to do it without ever getting close. I hated blitzball too but when I started playing to get Wakka's stuff, I found out how incredibly easy it is. Just recruit the right players and you'll barely be playing. I would score goals in the first few seconds with Jecht Shot or anything else, and just do that trick where you hide behind the goalie and wait it out. Playing 30 games of blitzball is incredibly tedious, but that's all it is. It's just boring, and incredibly easy.

Finally! Someone who appreciates FF12 as much as I do...and as much as it SHOULD be appreciated! I loved that game. Yes, I didn't care for Vaan, but it wasn't all about him!

I consider you an authority on this game series. I understand you just fine and actually relate to how you feel on MOST of the games.

Triple Triad in FF8 is very important if you want to absolutely max out your stats quickly. You can exchange your gilgamesh card for 10 hero's (I think that's what it is). and if you do the one side quest before disc 4 you can have your cards regenerate on the Ragnorok. You sell your hero's for a ton of gil and you buy things like permanent status upgrades which are expensive... but through the card game you can max very quickly. Once you play it enough you kinda like it :P

And I also just have to say, Blitz Ball is the best minigame/side quest EVER made, not just in Final Fantasy but RPGs in general.. Blitzball always deserved its on spin off game, it would of been perfect for the PSP back in the day!

Thumbs up this comment if you dodged over 180 lightning strikes, only to get struck because you fucked up slightly.

I feel blitz ball was only hard until you went into manual play

Fuck that lightning dodge minigame in FFX.

The Queen of Cards cards weren't that bad. Later in the game, she's permanently at the rocket landing site.

I do believe on my first playthrough, I played Blitzball more than the actual game.....I don't know anyone who hated it just because of a first impression. I have no idea why the 'Master' materia from FFVII wasn't on this list. All materia mastered and taken to the huge materia which must have been saved (you actually need to save a certain one to get a certain materia also) did I mention a lot are actually completely missable also? Seriously, try it.

I love these videos... it's the moments when he freaks out that make them hilarious. I've watched like 6 in a row now. Keep 'em coming bro.

final fantasy X lightning bolt trick: dodge 1 bolt then go save, then dodge another and save. if u get hit simply restart. the save game saves the number of bolts u dodged

I'm just happy that FFIX is starting to get its recognition as a great FF game. And IMO, the best one at that

The excal 2 should be higher. There were so many strats back in the day that involved like popping open the ps1 to skip cutscenes to save time for it. I used to play this game a bunch but never once managed to snag this fucking sword. as for FF12... the rare monster and item system was supposed to simulate a offline MMO feel, bad drop rates and all.

love the videos! Also, I can understand you very clearly. Thanks for adding another great video.

I'm sorry, but still think the hardest boss in FF history was Yaizmat. The sheer amount of time and effort needed to kill that thing is crazy.

I personally think Excalibur 2 from FF IX is probably the hardest, I mean, you have to get to the final dungeon in 12 hours (Especially when you consider that the average playthrough, even ignoring the side-quests, is about 60+ hours)... That's ridiculously fucking hard. And you may say "It's not useful!" but I counter by saying "It's the weapon with the highest base attack in Final Fantasy as a series." Seriously, It's one of the only weapons that exceeds the base attack of 100

I actually got the Tournesol when I first played this game when I was 15 lol. I spent insane amount of time reading guides on forums. I loved those days when I had all the time in the world to spend on video game. Nowadays I can barely finish games nevermind completing them.

I followed your LP for the Tournesol Blade and all the FFXII content, what a ride. How the hell did they expect anybody to know how to get that!

Agree with the FF12, out of all the games, that one took the most dedication and I am still missing a Pirate Den statue. The general game play of that game is great. There is just so much to do. The fact I was determined to get the Tournesol as early in the game as possible, Feywood [snake eyes] , was a great alternative to grinding. It was a mission to me, so less pointless.

Sadly, it's impossible to do the Catnip & Gunner spam in the International/HD version of X-2. That's because SE nerfed Catnip so that it also puts your character in Berserk and Slow status, effectively destroying the combo. So if you're playing those particular versions, you're basically screwed cuz no more Catnip combo.

Real talk - you put in a lot of time, and it's clear you love what you talk about. Keep it up :D

so far, im enjoying all of your top 10s. ignore the haters, keep it up!

"Ozma is the hardest of the FF bosses" LOL No, he isn't. Oh, and pro-tip: You don't have to chase the Queen of Cards to get them. Just wait until disc 4, go to where the Pod crashed in Esthar and play with her. She'll automatically have all the cards you've missed. PRESTO!

The most frustrating item to get in my opinion (though I'll settle for a tie with #1) is the Onion Knight Equipment in the NES version of Final Fantasy III. With a 4/256 (1/64) chance to just ENCOUNTER one of the color dragons (Green, Red, Yellow) on specific floors in the Crystal/Sylx Tower (dungeon before the last) and is said/rumored that they drop one of the pieces if killed in a special way (good luck determining what that is) and even then, there it is an extremely rare chance. Considering that you need 4 pieces of Onion Equipment to make it useful on one of your four characters... I tried for hours and only got 1 Onion Helmet before I gave up. Darkkefka

Mate, Iove your commentaries. Your comments say it like it is and you can be quite hilarious. Your random encounters video is brilliant - "There's an item that prevents death but that shit costs fifty thousand gil". Subscribed.

I didn't mind blitzball, it played the hell out of it my first few play throughs. I grabbed Biggs and Wedge in Lucca, and one of the goalies from Guadosalam and it was dominating from there. Triple Triad wasn't that hard either, but maybe because I loved to play it soooo much.

I found blitz ball pretty fun actually

I LOVE blitz ball! i had the ultimate team... i wish i still had my save file ._.

I LOVED Triple Triad!!! I spent countless hours playing that on every playthrough of the game I did just because of the insanely good Magic you could get super early on to make you OP as all Hell. Plus helping Quistis learn some Blue Magic skills as well. Anyway, I NEVER did the QoC Sidequest...I just wanted until Disc 4 & played her when she was by that crashed ship near Esthar on the World Map. It's not visible, so you just have to wander around to find it, but it's easy enough to look up a guide or video to find her. She has all the Cards from that quest with her, but she also uses like every rule in the game too. So you just need to sell off every Card you can below like Level 8 to make sure you'll always at least stand a chance, then just keep trying. Save outside of her location, then reset if you lose or she doesn't use 1 of the Cards you're missing from her. Super simple.

Love the vids dude keep them coming.

No mentions of Final Fantasy XI and it's impossible drops? Like the Blue Mage Testimonial, which is only 2% off of only two mobs in two different areas?

I LOVE BLITZBALL! Why you think everyone hates it is beyond me.

I always played Blitzball with the original Besaid Aurochs team. Yes, it's tough to get started, but when you get to hire Wakka again, and win his Aurochs Spirit Shot, the team's shooting scores are added to his, making his shot pretty much unblockable from catching the ball after the Blitz-off....

I love the vendetta you have against Ozma. Its really funny to me lol

blitzball is love, blitzball is life~

DK, have u tried playing The Last Remnant? I think it's awesome, and I am a final fantasy fan

I finally managed to make two Tournesols early in the Game ( Pre- Nidorana Lighthouse)...it took me ages to say the least but Thank goodness there is a bug that allows you to create new rare items just by using 1 unity instead of the standard number. Can't say If it works in Zodiac Age too tho!

hey man just subbed love your ff top 10's keep up the great work man and I started watching your videos yesterday and I understand you perfectly so ignore the haters and keep doing great vids

I find even the Ruby and Emerald weapons from FFVII harder than Ozma ._. which I always beat somewhat easily even when I was twelve. There's FFT storyline fights harder than that thing.

u can win the very first blitzball match by taking it off auto and moving the guys yourself it takes a lil doing but it is possible

Thabks.I didn't know how to get Wakka's ultimate weapon till now.

Great video! Keep up the good work. If people can't understand you then tell them not to tune in! Hate is the new love lol

Sun fucking Sigil anyone?

I loved blitzball :(

I love Triple Triad. And honestly as long as you have the "Open" rule (which you can manipulate to get Queen has the rule), the game become very manageable. I'd say the hardest card game for me was against Ellone for Laguna's card. That was one hell of a game as I wasn't prepared that Lunar uses it a mix of all regions rules. Other than that, the V2 suit from Max Angelus 0 from XV also has an insane drop rate, especially him being a super boss, you actually have to make effort (wait for his arm to open to vulnerability etc) to kill him, which is annoying as hell. As a matter of fact, I've never got the goddamn suit after 30 kills.

Thanks for another great video and lol, you are one funny dude! I agree with the list, I would just make one comment. I know you said all secret items in FFXII are #2 and that's accurate, but I would have made a special mention of the Danjuro dagger. Holy crap, that was a hard item to get. For me, that was probably the hardest item in any game, period. It took me about 18 hours of chaining the same darn monster (you know which one I speak of) to get it to finally drop the darn thing. Even Zodiac Spear (which I got 2 of) was easier, once you learn the PS2 RNG manipulation trick, that is.

stealing the flute from hilgigars in ff9

What about the FUCKING Trapezoedron???

Blitzball is amazing! Also you forgot that chocobo balloon race thing in FFX, it is far more annoying than lulu's weapon cause you can control that.

I feel that the items in FFXII are so hard to get is in the fact that it really tries to emulate the feel of a single player MMO. some of my friends hate that but i personally love it. You get the story of a single-player experience, the ability to go on sidequests, elite monster hunts, craft gear, amazing character customization, and many of the FUN elements of an MMO without the need for internet lag, party grouping and communication, complex macro'ing, etc. I love the game, like seriously. Unfortunately I never finished, but I still have it and EAGERLY look forward to replaying it one day. Maybe even streaming it. Good content man.

I enjoy blitzball.. and the first game i tend to always win against the luca goers.. I just got the HD remaster and its pretty awesome :).. Just sucks the trophies you need the venus sigil and i hate that shit The triple triad you can manipulate the rules easily, but rather frustrating The pink tail i tried to get for 5 hours and said fuck that shit lmao

Blitzball, hard? haha dont make me laugh :D

I tend to always get The End Garment Grid. It's actually quite worth building up the Oversouls for the Via Infinito bosses because they're actually easier to defeat Oversouled anyways. Well, maybe not the first guy, but he's also the easiest of the Via Infinito bosses anyways. The Black Elemental only ever uses spells. However, as fast as he is, enemies always enter Oversoul status before delivering their attacks. So just spam Darkness on him, and he'll die. Concherer will pretty much die to Cat-Nipped Gunner even while Oversouled, while its attacks are far less lethal. And Chac? Shockingly enough, gets debuffed pretty badly while Oversouled. Other than her broken AF Stony Glare attack, she will never use her strongest area-based attack and will instead use Break Remedy, which does far less damage by comparison. The only tough exception might be Paragon oversouled, and even then, one or two rounds of Cat-Nipped Gunner, and perhaps a little bit of luck, and you are done. In fact, a lot of boss monsters are surprisingly easier Oversouled. Jumbo Cactuar will literally case Hastega and then do nothing the rest of the battle.

Hey DK! Always a fan of your top 10s and was wondering if you ever considering doing this top 10 exclusively for final fantasy 12 as in the vid you said there are so many to choose from??

Dude, your videos are interesting but you spend WAAAAY to much time in them saying absolutely NOTHING.... And a lot of the time you never even explain what it is you are suppose to be talking about, like a swear for the Crisis Core item you never even said what it was, what it did, or anything about anything. Im pretty sure all I seen was just Zack and heard some random word then it was on to the next thing! You know you should at least say the name of the item, say what the item is and what it does and then explain how to obtain the item! I was lost for almost the entire video ( at least the half of it that I did watch, I had to stop at about 14.20 because you take waaay to long with your pauses. Like you will just completely quit talking and it makes this video feel like it drags on, 24 minutes for a top 10 video that doesn't even present you with that much knowledge about the items that are included is entirely to long bro) But hey your videos are interesting, and you are going in the right direction of where they need to go, just try to stay on topic a little better and if you are going to keep pausing and not saying anything then cut it from the video so it doesn't last 24 minutes!

You need to swear less dude...couldn't finish the video because it was kind of annoying listening to you.

Hey man great videos, and I had no problem understanding you haha. Don't let these clowns get to you. One tip though, in future list videos could you include the name of which game the items/skills etc are in?

Best thing i watched all week... liked.

Guaranteed FFX12 had the largest collection of ridiculously hard items to get . And even if they weren't "hard", they took an ungodly amount of time to commit to get them. Some of them were solely based on luck. I was so busy with side quests with this game I became totally uninterested in the main story. Only time I would progress with the story would be to access another area with more side quests lol.

I used to hate the Card Queen's exclusives too: you had to either do the annoying sidequest or try to get them from her in Disc 4, which is damn near impossible with the rules she imposes. Then I found out about Left Diamond: you can find her in the Ragnarok in Disc 4 if you completed the CC Group sidequest in the previous discs, and she will have whatever rare cards you don't have - including the Card Queen's exclusive cards and cards you've used up. She uses Trabia's rules, which include Random and Plus, but you can manipulate the RNG to abolish those rules as early as Disc 1, leaving Trabia with only the Open rule, which allows you to win easily. You can use her to obtain infinite copies of all your cards (except PuPu; this is the only card she won't have). Thank you, Left Diamond; you're my favorite Final Fantasy VIII girl now.

I LOVE Blitzball. I spent waaaaaayyyyy too many hours playing this mini-game.

Cool video, I just want to point out though with Ozma, if you use Quina and Magical Mallet all his MP out, it cuts out any luck and you win 100% for sure. I'd say Zodiark is harder, since there's no way that I know of to cut out the instant death luck.

Hey DK! Love your videos and your passion for all things FF. Can I request something? I love your top ten videos, but this one in particular highlighted something which could be good for us not in the know; can you please talk about the items on the list, in terms of what they're used for? i've heard of the Onion Sword and Wyrmhilt Blade before, but no idea why they're desirable. Thanks, dude.

I just got the remake of ff10 on steam, and after three hours of painful chocobo temple running I finally got all five chests... then decided "fuck it, it's 3 am i might as well go for sun sigil" first time in 20+ playthroughs I one shot the race with a perfect 0.0 . All i could do was laugh in disbelief. Also great videos

FYI, you can estimate the time until you win an item with the negative binomial distribution. 1) estimate the time for a battle/event 2) use the negative binomial distribution to calculate the percentiles for the completion time. monte carlo simulations in excel can be used to do a better job since 1 can vary.

Never really concentrated on the girls in Blitzball. Roop is a OP defender and Wedge can shoot between drops of water in the arena to score. And yes, I'm one of those whom have not gotten a pink tail since starting in '93 lol

Your epic bro that freakout on fallout new vegas was hilarious LOL!!!

My father and I love blitzball soon much that we could just sit in front of the television and play it for days on end. People need to keep trying this because it's awesome!

blitz ball was probably the funnest mini game and it was fun to hunt down your perfect team.

your voice is what make you who you're. Don't let anyone change that : D ps i like your video. You got nice taste mate

I got the venus sigil for the first 3 playthroughs of FF X and it's the thing that's keeping me from replaying it again.

I say Excalibur II should be no.1, the FF wiki actually says that outside the Japanese version it is impossible to get, as in the Japanese version you could skip cutscenes, which like most Final Fantasy games takes up a ridiculous amount of time

I suppose I'm extremely, extremely lucky. I've recently replayed FF4 on the PSP and decided to go for the Pink tail for the first time in my life. It took me three battles...

I looked up a tip for serendipity and it was helpful. Get some tape and put it on the button to keep the slot going and do something else.

I totally agree with your list also. FFX kills me with the celestial weapon quests and FFIX I just didn't even try with some of them. (By the way, I like the way you talk and find it rather pleasing to listen to!)

Oh, I have the The End Garment Grid. That one was a pain in the ass to get. I actually have just about every possible Garment Grid from this game.

2:20 you crack me up man XD thanks for the tip

Hope this helps whoever attempts 100% acquisition runs on Final Fantasy 2 (snes). I completed a legit playthrough on my SNES where I got minimally 1 of every single rare (1/64) drop, including the pink tail from the pink puffs. Below I detail both the strategy to get the pink tail relatively painlessly, as well as the general strategy to obtain every single 1/64 drop to have a complete inventory. Note that the strategy applies only for Super Nintendo FF2, NOT any of the remakes --- the actual true original cart with the red label). Before attempting, to speed things up, bring about 300 ether1s. (It's expensive, but you make your money back fighting the puffs anyway.) The minimum you need to do things right is 99, but for each 99 you bring, you save yourself a trip out of the dungeon and off the moon to go buy more.) For pink puffs, there's no need to kill your party members first. In fact, because the puffs hit hard and many times they berserk you before Rydia can cast toad on the group, having just Rydia and Rosa (especially at lower levels) can be dangerous (as they have the lowest HP). Instead, be SURE to equip Cecil with his CRYSTAL body armor. For some reason it makes him immune to berserk. (Ribbon helmets do NOT protect you from being berserked, so forget about them.) Have Cecil and Rydia alive and normal, whereas simply cast piggy on all other party members before your puff battle from the menu screen. Piggy status makes you immune to berserk, so by piggying Edge, Rosa, and Kain, you have tanks that can take damage from puffs while you set up the toad strategy. The idea is then obviously encounter enemies and run from all those that aren't pink puff until you finally get pink puffs (you do NOT need to be on a certain tile in the room, that's a false BS rumor. Run around anywhere in the room, it's just luck finding a pink puff group. I found 2 in a row once!). Now, once in a fight - as fast as you can, cast toad on all of them with Rydia. If it works, you're set (skip to next paragraph). However, if they do their dance and berserk Rydia, then you need to kill Rydia by attacking her with the rest of your party. Once she dies, revive her (and heal her quick!) and have her cast toad, since after being killed and revived berserk will be gone. (You cannot remove berserk with Heal or anything.) --- Ok --- so now you have a bunch of stupid toads to look at. What do you do? Attack and kill 2 of them, leaving 3 left. Heal Rosa to get rid of her Piggy status. She should not be berserked (though if for some reason she is, just kill her with attacks and then revive her). Then, depending on your level, you just need to see how many attacks it takes to kill a puff. For me, at level 99, it took only 1 attack from Cecil (doing anywhere from 8,000 to 9,999), and then one attack from Rydia. Regardless, the idea is to lower a Puff's health until you can kill it in one more attack. You want to select attack to kill it, such that the next character whose turn it is is Rosa. As your killing attack takes place, QUICKLY select white magic with Rosa, select Life2, and cast it on the dying puff as the puff is in the disappearing animation of dying. Then you wait, life2 is cast, and the puff is revived at full health and still is a toad, allowing you to just keep repeating. The reason for keeping 3 puffs alive is that if you screw up and accidentally kill a puff and Rosa doesn't get her turn quickly enough for Life2, you still have 2 puffs left to keeping trying. Keep killing and reviving a puff (as in the video above) for about 45-minutes. I wouldn't suggest any longer, because if you get more than 8 drops, they overwrite each other and then you're just wasting time (i.e., you might've gotten a pink tail, and then lose it because you keep killing and get an elixir that takes the pink tail's spot!). To give a reference, 45 minutes is the time it takes to go through 99 ethers on Rosa. Since life2 costs 52MP, you have to stop the kill-revive grind every so often to just use ethers from every party member to get Rosa back to full MP before you start again. Anyway, use 99 ethers, which assuming normal luck should get you about 8 items to drop. Kill the puffs completely once you're ready and then keep your fingers crossed for a pink tail! On my third 45-minute grind with puffs, I got 2 pink tails to drop (!!!!). (If you ever get lucky enough to get more than one pink tail, do NOT sort your inventory. If you sort it and they combine into a single slot (like Pink Tail: 2), you will only get 1 armor for the group of them. Instead, leave your inventory alone and quickly go to the adamant armor merchant and select each tail separately to get 1 armor for each tail.) The Life-2 trick I believe is only Super Nintendo FF2 only, so that's REALLY nice. (Alternatively, for people with FF4 for Playstation or GBA or whatever, I guess there's an item called 'alarm' that automatically spawns pink puffs for you.... but since you can't Life2 them, you just kill 5, see what item drops, and repeat. I almost feel like that takes LONGER, because while pink puffs don't naturally spawn often, once they do, you can almost guarantee 8 drops using the Life-2 trick over 45 minutes. I much prefer at least getting 8 drops of something to usually just not getting any single drop at all.) As for all other rare (1/64) drops in the game that can ONLY be gotten via drops (here's the list --- Imp, Bomb, Mage [these are calls for Rydia], Glass Helmet, Artemis Bow, Dragoon Lance, Dragon Whip, Silence Staff, Cursed Ring, Crystal Ring, Lilith Rod, Rune Axe, Medusa Sword, then also at a thankfully easier-to-get 5/16 rate: zeus gloves, artemis arrows), you obviously have to just grind and grind.... but it helps to use an FAQ online to see what rooms in the game spawn the enemy you're looking for with the highest frequency. (As for ribbon helmet --- this is a rare 1/64 drop as well, but the game gives you 2 in a chest.... Same applies for the Power Robe, the Heroine Robe, the Avenger Sword... so I'm not counting them because trying to get 5 of every rare item for the 'ultimate party' is insanity. It's just pointless, since many of these you only can even start to grind for right before the final boss of the game, so why spend 50 hours getting 5 pink tails that you can literally use in 1 fight before you get the "THE END" screen. Getting 1 is enough to prove you did the grind. (Also remember that any weapon you can just duplicate 99 of in the SNES cart using the duplication trick, so getting 5 of an item for your whole party only even applies to robes, rings, body armors, gloves, and helmets. Anyway - You can check it all using these 2 FAQs: Complete item list (to see what enemies drop what items with what frequency): www.gamefaqs.com/snes/522596-final-fantasy-ii/faqs/11842 Spawn locations and rates for all enemies (find the one you want on the FAQ above, then use this one to search for where it is --- for each room, the spawn rates are HIGHEST for the battle at the top, and are very rare as you go down (that's why for example pink puff is the 8th in it's room, meaning the lowest spawn rate): www.gamefaqs.com/snes/522596-final-fantasy-ii/faqs/53579 As for final tips, here's some things to note: The following items can be gotten most quickly with the Life2 trick (at the end of the game, so not missable): Mage, Bomb, Medusa Sword, Artemis Arrows, Artemis Bow, Zeus Gloves, Silence Staff, Cursed Ring [Ghost in Slyph cave], Pink Tail [duh], Lilith Rod, Ribbon Helmet. The following items can be gotten most quickly by exploiting the 'call' function of certain enemies. Each time they are attacked, they call the enemy that drops the item into battle. You can keep killing said enemy, attacking the caller once, and spawning a new one to fight infinitely, speeding up the drop process a ton. Just be sure to cast cure on the caller every so often so that you don't accidentally kill him off! Rune Axe (fight the searcher enemy that appears alone in the Giant of Babil sequence. This is MISSABLE because you only come here one time! If you miss it, you need to use Life2 on the RedGiant enemy on the moon, which is much slower of a process.) Imp (fight the conjurer enemy in the Land of Summoned Monsters. Not missable like the RuneAxe caller.) Lastly, the following items are the most pain in the a** items to get, because the enemies that spawn them either appear alone, so you can't use the Life2 trick on them (because once they die, the fight ends --- you obviously need 2 or more enemies on the screen to kill one off and then use Life2 on it), or they are undead enemies and thus Life2 fails on them: Crystal Ring, Glass Helmet, Dragoon Spear, Dragon Whip, Protect Ring. That is, for this list of 5 items above, there's no way around it. Just gotta grind and hope to get lucky! Everything drops eventually!

for the blitz ball bit, i just waited until you could hire brother, since he's faster than nearly every player, i'd just herd them up, pass to tidus and shoot.

I think instead of the "Queen of Cards" quest from Final Fantasy 8 being on this list, it should be on how to get "Knights of the Round" in Final Fantasy 7!

Hey DK, not sure if you know this but to get Excalibur 2 you don't need to get to Memoria in less than 12 hours, it just needs to show less than 12 hours on the in game clock. When you hit 99:59:59 the clock will reset to 00:00:00 and Excalibur 2 should be on the platform for another 12 hours. I have never tried this but if you or anyone else does please let me know if it works. Love your vids DK.

Totally agree with you for the pink tail as the hardest item to get. Fortunately for me, within the 5 years I've been playing Final Fantasy 4, I've gotten 8 pink tails. I think I got lucky.

Am I the only one that thought blitzball was really easy? Make them chase you, pass to the open person, shoot once you are by the goal, score. Don't be afraid to pass backwards, and pass before you get more marks than you can handle. Also, Jecht Shot makes scoring stupid easy.

I agree that Blitzball is actually kind of fun when you get the hang of it. Still unless you use the reset to tune the rewards you have to play way to much of it is the problem.

Loved the video but woulda liked to see some items from FFXI on this list. FFXI was the online MMO and some items were a super rare drop from monsters that would only pop up every 24-48-72 hours...PS I liked your voice thought you were funny

Daamnnn I looovvveeed Blitzball, used to play it non-stop!
