Final Fantasy XII Hints LV (PS2)

Final Fantasy XII is a new entry in the long running franchise that exemplifies the best that the Japanese RPG genre has to offer.

The game was the last in the series to use the old Sony platform before the move to the PlayStation 3.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Rare game: Barmuu and Vishno

To make Barmuu appear, go to the "Royal Passage" area of the Tomb Of Raithwall. Defeat twelve Seekers and go up to the three teleporters. Barmuu will be sitting in the middle of all three of them. To make Vishno appear, somewhere in the "First Ascent" area of the Pharos, defeat every Deidar and Brainpan monster in any of the four flight areas after the Horizon Of First Light area. Flight Two or Three recommended.

Rare game: Biding Mantis and Rage Claw

Biding Mantis has a 40% chance of appearing in the lower part of "The Needlebrake" area of Golmore Jungle each time the party enters from the Erupt Village (although any area is acceptable). Rage Claw will appear at one of three exits in the "Piebald Path" area of the Salikawood after every monster in the area has been defeated.

 Rare game: Bombshell, Pineapple, and Megabomb

Pineapple has a 5% chance of appearing for any character in the "Platform 1 - Refinery" area of Ogir-Yensa Sandsea. If you have Balthier alone as your party leader, Pineapple has a 60% chance of appearing. Megabomb will appear randomly (40% chance) in the "Demesne Of The Sandqueen" area of the Nam-Yensa Sandsea.

Make sure to check the whole area. Bombshell has a 25% chance of appearing in the "Lasche Span (South Segment)" area of the Lhusu Mines each time the characters enter the area from two zones away. Note: Bombshell drops the Yagyu Darkblade which is the best ninja sword in the game.
