Lore & Background Information

Final Fantasy IX, published by Square Enix, is an RPG available on iOS, PC, PS1, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. The game's guide was released on April 27, 2019, and last updated on September 18, 2024. It features a beginning-to-end walkthrough, covering all story elements, side quests, and character abilities.

The story begins with the Tantalus Theatre Troupe's visit to Alexandria for Princess Garnet's birthday. Their true intention is to kidnap the princess, who, coincidentally, was already planning her escape and had arranged for the troupe to "kidnap" her. This event sets off a grand adventure.

The guide includes:

  • A complete walkthrough of the main story.
  • Coverage of all side quests, including Chocobo Hot and Cold, Tetra Master, the jump rope mini-game, Friendly Monsters, and Excalibur II.
  • Instructions on how to learn all character abilities, including Quina's Blue Magic.
  • A detailed trophy/achievement guide.

Players can engage in the Tetra Master tutorial by speaking to a kid in the central plaza after showing their ticket. If you're quick to press X when a field icon appears, he'll offer the tutorial. Alleyway Jack, though not having strong cards, is a decent player for practice.
