Welcome to the Perfect Beatrix Guide 4.0

========================================



This FAQ is copyright 2000 to me. Don't copy or plagarise, it's naughty!



It is only appropiate that I make a real guide to get the most

controversial character in the game, Beatrix. The valkyrie

who's Steiner's sweetheart can now be yours, glitch free!



This method is no joke, as opposed to my "infamous" method on 

GameFAQs's FF9 messageboard which just satired FF6 and FF7's 

rumored characters and revivals.



You'll need a Gameshark, Pro Action Replay, etc. This works

so far only with the NTSC Japanese version.



This is best printed with Microsoft Word, period.





I. Getting Beatrix

==================

- Enter the code 801F4736-0208 in your device

- Start your saved game

- When you appear, immediately save again

- Do not go to the menu screen nor get into a battle

- Turn off the Gameshark and reset (L1, L2, Start, Select)

- Go back into your saved game and into the party screen

- You should now have ALL nine slots filled, one for you-know-who





II. Mastering Beatrix

=====================



II-A. Stuff to Remember

------------------------

- She is at Level 20, so start building up her levels

- She already has all her abilities and cannot learn more

- She has the Save-the-Queen permanately equippped

- Since she cannot use Support Ability, equip armor that has abilities in them

II-B. Problems... Solutions ?

------------------------------

- Her face doesn't appear on the LOAD GAME screen, harmless
