Disk One- Alexandria

After a long FMV, Vivi (Kid wearing a Pointy-Hat) will be the character that you can now control. A little girl will bump him, and his ticket will fall on the ground. She will pick it up, and give it back to you. Starting from here, you can either go north or south. There are items if you go south, 1 potion and 3 cards. Just find an exclamation point icon ( ! ), then press the (X) button and you can acquire the item.

After you have gotten the items, go back to the previous screen and go north (on the left side of the street where you can see children running, you can find a potion.) On the right side, you can enter a house wherein you can find a woman sewing something (It�s the house with double deck bed.) Just search the place to find Gil, potion, and a card. Leave the house and go north again.

On the next screen going to west, search the grass(bottom right) and you can find 33gil. You can also find gil, potion, and a card inside the bar. You can also talk to Mick(Boy standing on front of the door) if you want to know where to go, but obviously he will say that you should go to a ticket booth. On the right side, you can find an item shop. In case you want to buy some potions.

In the center place of Alexandria, there is an Inn(west), weapon shop(east), gate to the theater play(north) and a ticket booth(center). If you go to synthesis shop, you can get ether. Leave the shop and go north wherein you can find 2 guards, Near the guards, just go down a couple of step into the side of the wagon(where hippaul is facing), you can find phoenix pinion.

After you have finished getting some items and played with the girls in a jumping jack contest, go to the middle of town square and show your ticket to the booth personnel. Unfortunately, your ticket is a fake one and you cannot see the play. But the Nice personnel will give you 3 cards anyways :).

After this, go down the alley in the bottom left of the screen. Halfway down you will trip, and the signmaker will blame you for missing a nail. No matter, he jumps up two seconds later and finishes the job. Then he decides to walk up the alley and leave his ladder. Then the rat kid that you ran into earlier will have a little chat with you. Tell him that you had a fake ticket, and he will say that if you agree to being his slave, he will get you into the show. (Not "I Want to Be Your Crow", mind you.) Tell him no, and he will run off. From here, run down the alley and to the next screen, which seems to be a residence of houses. Walk down to the bell tower (or steeple) about halfway down, and go inside. Go around the outer wall of the steeple to find a Tent and Potion. Then go up the ladder and to the top of the steeple. Pull the rope and three cards will drop from the bell. This is Hippaul's secret stash. After this run back to the alley and to the townsquare, then back to the alley again. You will see the rat kid again. Tell him "Alright" this time and he will ask you to keep watch on one side. Tell him it's all clear and he will take the ladder and go south. Before you go with him, you might want to talk to the four armed man going down the alley. This is Alleyway Jack, he will teach you all the basics about Tetra Master. (The card game.)

Follow the rat kid back into the steeple and he will tell you to go up first. (You slave, you!) Attempt to and a moogle will drop on you. Kupo will then chat a little with you, telling you how to save your game and such. After that, the rat kid will go up with the ladder and yell at you some more. Then Stiltzkin will come in and talk with Kupo. You will find out that he wants to travel. After this, talk to Kupo about "Mognet" and he will tell you how the mail system works. Agree to delivering mail for Kupo, then save your game and climb the ladder. On the rooftop, the pointy-hat kid will have to cross a couple wood planks. Since he is scared of heights he will go very slowly. Follow the rat kid to the next set of planks, which will almost be the pointy-hat kid's last step! After that, the rat kid starts running faster to get to the play. You have an infinite amount of time to get there though, so you can look for Gil around here. For some strange reason, it seems that the people of Alexandria love to leave their money on the rooftops. Get the Gil stash on this rooftop, it should be on the southwestern part of the roof. Then go up and the rat kid will ask for your name. His default name is Vivi, but you can choose whatever you want. (Choose Puck for a laugh, but don't email me because you didn't like the name!) After this, look in every single nook and cranny on the rooftop to find more Gil. There should be two more stashes, and you can see them easily because they are in bags. After this, make your way to the northeastern rooftop. You will find out why Puck needed the ladder, even though he could have just as easily used one of the planks in the previous rooftops. Oh well. They will both run inside and the play will then start up.

And you thought the first boss fight was easy! This fight is even easier! Steal is replaced with SFX, which is stage magic that doesn't do any damage. Don't use it unless you really want to see it. You don't need to take out King Leo's two henchmen; they are insignificant in this battle. Just hack away on King Leo's 200 health, it should go down quiet fast. Don't worry if Cinna dies, that's the only character that they can hit for more then 10 damage. This fight should only last around 5 hits. King Leo and his two men often just use magic, so you might find yourself unscratched at the end of this duel.

After the fight, King Leo will run off and Blank and Zidane will get into an argument. This will tell you a little about how this world really is. Then they will have a sword fight. Look at the Side Quests section for more details on this sword fight. Keep trying until you get around 90 out of 100, the crowd will give you more money that way. If you don't get what you want the first time, say "Yes" when the crowd asks for an encore performance. After you are happy with what you got, the screen will change.
