Memory Card Save Blocks:
1) With a FF8 save, your first pet after completing the Corral quest will be a
Chocobo instead of a Rabite.
2) With a Saga Frontier 2 save, if you go to 'save' and highlight it, then head
to the bone fortress and to the bone bridge where you fought Deathbringer, you
can now fight Deathbringer II. After defeating him, you'll get a sword from
Saga Frontier 2.
3) With a Chocobo Racing save, go to Polpota - Skippy there will give you a
worthless 'The Fastest Wheel' wooden ring.
ShadowZero Mini-Game in Domina:
There is a ShadowZero mini-game available in Domina after completing the
Jumi Quest (#33). Go to the Domina Tavern on Salamander day, and you can play
the mini-game, where you attempt to catch rascally shadow-zeros in different
poses in a short amount of time for prizes. It's a good idea to spend a little
time playing, because some of the rewards are good items that you normally only
find in treasure chests along the game. There's also some low-end aerolite
metals.The highest score is 200, where you'll get a Spiny Seed. Below are some
tips for playing the game.
1. Once you smack a S-Z, you don't need to press a button to get rid of the
score display.
2. Pay attention only to jump-kicks (16 points) and poses (32 points).
3. Pose times are short - don't run across the room to nab one. Also, don't
bother trying to nab one if you're in the middle of whacking another, you'll
probably miss.
4. There's always a catch delay for pressing the button, so you can't pound the
buttons and smack everything in your path.
