Thank you for this. This was one of my favorite child hood games, even though I completed it, I always had this ''what if'' about this market, if I knew what I was doing, how better of an experience would it have been. Lol, I had hardcore ADHD back then at age 13, so all the trading made my head spin. Age 42, the playthrough of this was much more intuitive, though I replayed it just for the sense of mastery. This guide heloped me do just that. (Getting all nostalgic) I still remember first blind playthrough of this game with a buddy. As we played through Prehistoria up through Ebon Keep, we often wondered... "Yo...what was that future area with the bazooka? How do we get back up there? Who the hell was that butler?" As it went unmentioned initially, then alluded to, up until the Tinker explained it. From that point on, we got excited like: "Dude, I can't wait to get back up there. With all this alchemy and another bazooka, we're going to kicking all kinds of ass across that space station, I hope the boy sic's the dog on the butler before blasting him." Overall, one of my favorites among many.
I still think about this game very often, I got it when I was 9 years old and it has had such a profound impact on my childhood. I've cleared it at least 7 times before finding out about the desert secret for the market place. Trading was always one of my favorite parts of the game.
Wow thanks for this. I emulated this game back in the ZSNES days but didnt get far. Playing on a real cart right now so no save scumming to keep my head above water lol. Love this game though, a real slice of Americana
The cheapest bags of rice are in the top left. But wow never knew that trick with the crazy prophet and the centurion cape, or getting anything from him at all. Too cool!
Wasn't there a Seller that gives you discount when you deny the deal? in fact it was the best deal on the market as far i remember. man i grown old. but that's one of my favorit gams from the youth. i liked this darkish game style compared to mana, etc. great that you prepare for the later market in ivor tower
I believe it was for the amulet of Annihilation. Something like, you can haggle him down to a certain point but if you go lower he will sell it but won't do business with you again. It was fun doing a playthrough of it since I missed out on it when I was younger. It had a kind of sinister vibe to it for sure. Thanks! Luckily that one wasn't nearly as all over as Nobilia.
@@Warbeard i'd also like to know what kind of preparetion you did in Crustacia. Did you bought the amulet from the mad monk and get one of these 3 item's you can receive as bonus?
@@yahlov I did not end up buying it from the monk. All I really did in Crustacia was farm enemies until I had the base jewels to get rolling through the market.
I had a lot of fun in this area, think i even had to reset because of the guy you haggle will stop if you haggle too much. Would agree with the other commenter who said he has the best price for whatever he was selling. There was something interesting about this area, looking for whoever had the best deals, feeling regret because you used up all your money for the wrong person lmao
The biggest pain in the ass is getting the early chocobo egg by buying enough bags of rice and exchanging them for gems cuz you have to trade it later in Ivor (I think for the gourd, which I know does nothing, but it's still part of completionist runthroughs). At least you make a ton of money out of it.
Yeah, he didn't mention that in the guide: Unless you own the armor sets from both Crustacia and the Nobilia market place, you won't get the best armor out of the hidden pots in the colosseum.

Is it worth doing it?
