Hidden Characters(thanks for the writeups, Noel!)
  • Azran, the Dragoon

    • When in Ashieeton Lv. 2 (there's Azran's workshop on a cliff) when talking to Azran choose an option regarding his recruitment to the party.
    • Since he cannot leave town unattended for it to develop properly, he tasks you with finding a replacement for him and advises to ask around bars.
    • The replacement is Eden whom I happened to find at the pub in Aquaria, although it may be in a different city because it might be random where she'll appear.
    • When back at Azran's workshop in Ashieeton, Eden says she'll replace him after you give her something. That something she needs is an "Iron Celata Visor" which can be stolen from enemies in Patch Tower, and the Waterway/Manor Basement in Cecille. Presenting ICV to Eden will award you with Azran as a party member.

  • Kaayu, the Dancer

    • First you need to acquire an airship.
    • From there head to Enaya and talk to Elia in the doctor's house and she'll tell you that to heal Kaayu she needs water from Frozen Whisper Forest.
    • In the airship, fly to a valley north of Garuda's Peak where there's a larger forest to the west, smaller forest to the right and a snow plain between them. Land on the snow plain and head to the larger forest. Enemies here shouldn't prove too much problem, a party of around level 30+ (which you should have at that point of the story) will be enough. There are no boss fights here, if you're wondering. When in forest simply head north and approach a spring, press the Action button, and head back to Enaya.
    • In Enaya talk to Elia inside the doctor's house and she will prepare a potion which will heal Kaayu's condition.
    • As an addded bonus we are treated with some background regarding Kaayu's mysterious disappearance at the bridge to Palomton.

  • Divinus, the Time Mage

    • After acquiring airship head to southeastern continent and land near a lone house which is located in an eastern valley. Enter the house on the world map and you'll arrive at the Hunter's Lodge. Inside the building, head to the room on the left side of the map with a silver-haired man in it and accept the NM quest.
    • Now head to the Western Forest, the first dungeon of the game, and south to the save point in the southern map of the dungeon there'll be a star. Stepping on it will initiate the battle against the spider. Defeat it and head back to Hunter's Lodge.
    • Talk with Argus to finalize your joining to the hunter club and go upstairs.
    • In the right-most room there will be a girl with black and white hair. Talking with her will result in her joining the party.
    • Divinus can Mix items to have a variety of effects and can use Magic to toy with time a bit in a battle.

  • Flame, the Mime

    •After returning from the past, head to Cutter's Cry. Speak to the blue-robed woman with Level 99 in the lead of the party. In a strange scene, she will randomly join you.
    •Flame functions like Gogo from Final Fantasy VI. In the Skills menu, you can equip her with three commands of your choosing. Mime is always equipped. Note that not all commands are available. Flame knows whatever skills your party members do, with some exceptions for powerful skills. To make up for her versatility, Flame has low stats and cannot use Magicites.

Congrats on beating the game! I'm glad you liked the humor, story and throwbacks.

The encounter skip function has been a huge hit, I'm glad people like it. I added a disable option to the config because I was worried the bubble before every fight would bother people, but it seems pretty much universally loved.

If you haven't yet, check out the Bonus Dungeon, it is chock full of FF nostalgia!
Nah, I enjoyed the Moogle Charm in 6 (idk if it did the same in this; didn't get it), but there's also something so much better about choosing to be able to fight on a fight to fight basis.

They alluded to a sequel. is there one planned? EDIT: No, a little reading helps.

Yep, Moogle Charm works the same as in FF6, and the Charm Bangle just halves encounters. But doing it fight by fight is good because sometimes you don't really want to just skip everything.

Yeah, the game really just kind of leads into XIV ARR. We are however making another FF Fangame! It's going to be a bit less silly with a lot fewer characters, but to make up for that we're going to have the FF5/Dimensions job system. We'll be posting more about it when we have the basic stuff finished, which shouldn't be too long.
That last dungeon was great, and easy since I used Kari and Flame (figure it out, anyone reading this)

Is there any ultimate prize to fighting the memory again, or am I done after beating the 21 bosses?

In any case, I'll keep my eyes open, since this was seriously the best rpg fan game I've ever played :)

You can mine more adamant-ore after the memory-crystals are revived. The adamant-equipment is the best and even makes Limit Rings useless so you can equip offering and genji glove for example.
Oh, I LOVED the Adamant equipment. Taking off 1/5 of a boss's hp in 1 hit? Yes please. I have to admit though, the dungeon was spam central, because I am not big on post-game content in any game, AAA, indie, or fan. Unless it reveals more story (which this did).

But I really have no need for the extra ore. The curse of games over a certain amount of party members is that you pick your favorites and you get accustomed to them. So Kari and Cassie were always in the party. And then Azran and Doiden were 2 go-tos.

Flame was ridiculous though. S/he got A LOT of use towards the end.
Firefly84 pretty much covered it, the only reason to re-fight them is if you want to farm more gear or if you want to try the battles on a different difficulty/with different characters/etc.

I am curious though, which set of abilities were you using with the combo of Kari and Flame? I can think of a few things you could do but I don't want to say for risk of giving away anything, haha.

PM. It feels spoilerish to post here :p
I wanted to ask where the bonus dungeon is or how to access it. And also, what saving after beating the game even does. Reading through the comments I thought it was a new game+ thing, but when I load it up it just brings up the ending screen.

edit - lol! just answered my own question. I use a controller to play and pushing any of the buttons didn't do anything. So I hit some keys on the keyboard and I think Enter was what it took to move on.

Yeah the uh newgame + is not the most intuitive thing in the world unfortunately :x glad you got it working!

And you can access the dungeon at Cutters Cry which is right outside of Emerald after finishing the game.
Please include within FAQ a chapter Quest list, i discovered a quest "Moggle within INN KUTAN" if you discuss with Moggle within INN KUTAN" he need expensive food, .. i got it
Does anyone know how to get the blue spell Choco Meteor?

Does anyone know how to get the blue spell Choco Meteor?

As far as I know you have to fight chocobos for a sidequest. You can learn the spell from one of them.
Yep, the chocobos are fought as part of a hunt, they are one of the later ones.
Does anyone know where the abandoned mine is? I have searched the mine and have not found anything...

EDIT: Does anyone know where Squeenix is? AND How to continue the game after getting the gilband/rune armlet?

EDIT: Does anyone know where Squeenix is? AND How to continue the game after getting the gilband/rune armlet?


The mine is the one at Palomtom, the enemy is where you met Cassie.
Squeenix is the first destroyed town on the western continent. To travel to the past visit the forest northeast of it. After your mission in the past is done, the city is restored. The Castle is Squeenix Castle.
For more details look in the weapon section under 2. Perseus Bow.
Firefly84 covered most of it~

If you just got the Gil Band I assume you just did the event with the sultan? Have you done the Library? It's on an island west of Aquaria. If you've done it and the sultan event, you can head back to Aquaria and talk with the king to continue.
Yes, I have done the library and got the airship already, but I gone through the first round of the hunts and now I dunno where to go except that there is the sandy castle above aquraia and it is in a sandy place, and how do you "travel to the past"?
The next destination is that castle then if you have the airship and haven't done anything else story related. The last part happens later in the story.
Erm, I believe a list of fishing spots would be a great addition to this section?
