So I turned on FFIX last night thinking I was going to face Ozma and see if I could finally pull off the victory, but I realized I had never faced a Yan (unfriendly) in battle. So I went there to leve up my party. Ha!
I went into the battle with Zidane, Steiner, Dagger, and Amarant vs. 3 YANS!
The funny part is that by the time I got to eliminating the first 2 Yans, everyone except Amarant has been "snorted" away and blown out of battle. So basically it was Amarant vs. this last Yan. He took him out with a few hits and Amarant gathered 125,000+ EXP points, my most every for one character in any FF game. He went from Level 63-65. I Loved It!
Ozma's just around the corner, I promise.

Need at least one more ribbon I think just to be safe.
