Renaming Characters:
To do this you must have the Namingway Card. You can get this card during the card tournament in Treno if you go against Mario or you can find it in Kuja's Palace (it's in the room where he is always in by the couch). Once you have the Namingway Card go to Daggereo and get to the middle floor. Here you will find a man who wants to see the card and will rename your characters after seeing the card (don't worry he won't take the card).

Quan's Dwelling Reunion:
If you take Vivi and Quina to Quan's Dwelling, you get a short movie sequence. After that, go to the balcony and examine the clock to get a partially rare item, the running shoes.

The Excalibur Sword:
The Excalibur Sword is Steiners 2nd strongest weapon. If you are not able to get to the Memoria in 12 hours you should get this sword (If your getting confused with the Excalibur swords, -the Excalibur 2 is Steiners strongest sword and the Excalibur is his 2nd strongest sword). You can get it by going to the town of Daggereo and talking to the old man by the Libarian. He will ask you to get him the "Magicians Fingertip." You can only get the Magicians Fingertip in Treno in the Auction House. You must first get 4 items. I can't remember them right now but get the items that you have never heard of. Eventually you can get the Magicians Fingertip. After getting it go back to the old man in Daggereo. He will ask you if you will give it to him. Say "yes." He will then say something about his wife then give you the Excalibur in return. There now this sword is the 2nd strongest for Steiner and it allows you to learn the ability "Climhazzard." This is a very good attack.

Easy Exp. & AP Early in the Game:
After you defeat the Plant Brain, allow the Plant Spiders to attack you. They are easy to kill, as Zidane, Steiner and Blank can kill them in one hit, and Vivi can dispatch them with one Fire or Thunder blast. By staying in the middle of the screen, you also have enough time to go into your inventory and use Potions and Ethers as needed. Do this to easily gain a few levels, as well as gain the AP needed for your abilities. If you stole an Iron Helm from the Plant Brain, Steiner can level up even more, as it grants the Level Up ability.

More Easy Exp. Points:
Once you have an airship, go to Vile Island (located south-west of the Iifa Tree). Walk around that island until you encounter a cute ram called a Yan. Fight these monsters but be careful: these guys are extremely tough. If you have a hard time with these little fellas, try going to the grasslands near Daguerreo. Fight the Grand Dragons there. They yeild around 8000++ exp.

The Ultima Weapon:
Zidains most powerful weapon the ultima weapon can be found by going to the chocobo forest playing the game until you get the pepper. Then go to where shining island used to be (with an airship) and us the powder you will get a screen saying reiceved The Ultima Weapon (or something like that).

Zidane's Best Weapon:
If you find all of the chocographs you will get Zidanes best weapon.

Jump Rope Trick:
At the beginning of the game when Vivi comes into the town square you will see a group of three small girls playing jump-rope in the upper left hand corner. You can play as well and gain very rare items in the beginning of the game. However, this is very hard to do as the jump rope excalates to a speed of mammoth proportions. A simple trick to this is to press X as soon as Vivi's feet touch the ground(When you hear the thump of his feet against the ground.). If you do this right, no matter how fast the jump-rope goes you can always jump it.

Special Chocobos:
After you aquire Choco in chocobo forest start looking for chocographs in the 'Chocobo hot and cold game'. Some of the treasure sprays gas out at you instead of treasure. You'll be transported to the "chocobo dream world" there a fat chocobo will grant you new abilities. The abilities are: shallow water crossing, mountain crossing, ocean crossing, and the flight abilities (you need dead peppers to fly). You get new abilities every time you go to the dream world. Don't forget to go to 'chocobo lagoon', 'chocobo paradise', and the chocobo air base.

2 Player Mode!:
First, pause the game (so the menu comes up). Next, go to the CONFIG option and go to battle control. Set it to custom and push X. You now control who second player plays!
