Steals and Spoils: -279 gil, Genji Helmet, 17,376 gil, Phoenix Down, Phoenix Pinion, -278 gilThanks to that save point, I can get to the next save point with just one random battle. A tad difficult to do, but there are much worse places in the game.\n\nZidane gets the Ribbon for protection against water. I deactivate everyone\'s Insomniac, activate Distract and Body Temp where I can, and give Quina Auto-Life. I also give everyone Devil Killer...eventually. I thought I might be saving Ethers by not giving Zidane and Freya one until they needed it. It just ended up wasting turns, so I gave them one before that battle.I need to steal the Genji Helmet here. Kraken will counter every move made against it like 95% of the time, and that counter could be from it or one of its tentacles. I take out the right tentacle so that it wouldn\'t counter against Quina with Water Gun, which Quina wouldn\'t have dodged. Quinacan dodge Ink or Leg, not always though. The first Charge! annoyingly didn\'t really do anything, but the rest of the battle went ok. At some point Kraken will use Waterga, which will heal Zidane. I took the battle slowly after a while so that I could make sure Zidane was KOed at the end of the battle. This battle didn\'t go perfectly, but I won.\n\nSteiner masters Stock Break. Freya masters Restore HP.\n\nI know it looks like I unfortunately got into a random battle on the way to the save, but I was going to run around until I got into one. This way, Quina would auto-life at the beginning ofthe battle. It went fast, which was nice for the last random battle before getting the Excalibur II.\n\nTotal FMV Time: 33:34\nGuide Time: 11:45:20 excalibur, fantasy, ff9, ffix, final, fmv, game, ii, ix, no, perfect, skip
