After the world of Terra has been destroyed, at the beginning of disc four and onwards, return to Black Mage Village. Examine the gramophone at the Black Mage Village inn. You notice that the background music will change to a beautiful melody taken from the Final Fantasy III [Japanese] soundtrack and this melody continues on until you leave the Black Mage Village.

Double Your Fantasy Fun
Do you know that you can have up to two players controlling your players during your combat. All you need is to go to the main menu, go to config and then click battle control. Choose the CUSTOM option and an extra menu pops up, listing the names of all the characters and beside each name, you can select whether you want controller 1 or 2 to control each individual character. During combat, you will then notice a controller icon with either the word '1' or '2' on the top right hand corner of the screen. That indicates which player 1 or 2 is controlling now. Note that this ONLY applies to BATTLES and NOTHING else.

Complete the Stellazzio quest and keep Cinna's Hammer in your item inventory. DO NOT use the Hammer in the Legendary Synthesis Shop. You will see an additional hidden sequence in the ending. Your eyes got to be sharp to see the difference(s). The second ending is just a few minutes longer than the original one. Have one save file with the Hammer in your inventory and another save file without the Hammer in your inventory to spot the differences.

Skip FMVs
To skip FMVs open up your PSX cover, and wait for the disk to stop spinning, and close the cover, or on your PS2, eject the disk and put it straight back in. This is especially useful when you are trying to get the Excalibre II as even when FMVs are playing the clock is ticking!
