Hey guys! I looked all around, and I didn't see anything, sooo... here goes.

The special ending in FF 9. Everybody's heard of it. The one that you get to see if you beat the game with the "Hammer" item in your possession.

I have never done this myself. I've looked ALL OVER youtube and whatnot, and I really can't find it anywhere.

Does anybody have a link to it, or can somebody at least tell me what happens? I know that's lame and it spoils the surprise, but I just can't take the suspense any longer!
 
I haven't heard of this either, nor anything about this "hammer" item. Where exactly did you hear this? It may just be a rumor.
 
You get the hammer item by finishing the stellazio sidequest.

Another item which adds another scene to the ending is the Save the Queen whihc you can get Hades to synth.

Neither really do THAT much though... Just an extra scene of the play at the end.
 
I had the hammer on my last playthrough, but couldn't remember what the ending was like on my first playthrough! so what is the extra scene? lol
 
Something with the play. Blanks character I believe. Can't really remember because it doesnt really add much to the story.
 
Oh is this the Cinna's Hammer thing? If so then I might have heard of it.

Can't say I know what the extra ending is though as I doubt I ever did it.
 
It just puts an extra scene in the play, not sure what though, Ive never completed it without the hammer in my inventory...but the play doesn't half drag on, so whether it's worth it or not...
 
It's only an extension to I Want to Be Your Canary but nothing you won't miss. I've always had the Hammer with me so I don't know which part it is that's the extension but it's not something worth being annoyed about.
 
I was wondering about it as well as I have read about it on Wikipedia.
I am glad I didn't miss anything important because I didn't have the hammer D:
I don't like when there are more then one ending or some secret additions to the ending.
I enjoy the most from the game's plot an it'll be frustrating to know I didn't fully unlock it. At least it seems that it doesn't really matters in this case.
 
i've had the hammer in my inventory on quite a few playthroughs, but its been so long since i completed the game without the hammer, i can't notice a difference to be honest.

 
I can't remember cos when I finished it first time around I defo didn't have the hammer! Maybe it's the "no cloud, no squall shall hinder us" line?
 
I never new that the story had 2 endings. I never completed it without he hammer item. But it sound like it didn't add much to the story or takes away from it. I will have to try beating the story without the Item now. Thanks for telling me.
 
I never knew FF9 had a special ending. I have never beat the game with the Hammer or the Save the Queen so I will have to start a new game.
I am quite excited, new ff9 content for me. :)
 
See... This really bugged me, being honest. Because I spent ages deliberately going around and doing the sidequests and getting materials for the Hammer and Save the Queen, only to not notice anything major in the ensing...

I was gutted. :P

But at the same time, I'm glad that there wasn't so major new twist you can only see if you get that special ending, like in a lot of horror games. xD
 
Huh? I've never heard of this. I think I do remember having the hammer, but I don't recall any extra scenes. Either that, or it was so small a scene, that I never noticed.
 
yeah its a real let down for a secret ending there was some rumors that a super secret ending were zidane's "sister " would show up at the end and kill garnet but its a lie
 
Oops. Maybe I should've checked in on this thread sooner?

The secret ending with Cinna's hammer revolves around an extra scene with Blank and Baku in "I Want To Be Your Canary":

The additional scene comes during the part in which Blank tells The King (Baku) that Marcus and The King's daughter, Cornelia (Ruby), are planning on escaping.
Baku confronts Blank, saying something equivalent to, "You betrayed your best friend. How do I know you won't betray me?" and proceeds to kill Blank.

I'm pretty positive that's the scene added with Cinna's hammer. Nothing major, at all.

I have yet to see the one you get by holding "Saves The Queen".

**spoilers
supposedly the save the queen ending is a short scene where beatrix is going to leave Alexandria or sompthing. Thats what I heard. I never got save the queen


The hammer ending was just a tiny scene where baku is giving Tantalus a pep talk before the pay for garnet. thats all
 
No Save the Queen does not show a scene that Beatrix leaves Alexandria. That's just an untrue rumor. And Baku gives them the pep talk even if you don't have Cinna's Hammer.

I've beaten the game with both Save the Queen and Cinna's Hammer in my inventory. The only extra scene is the one in the play that HighwindPilot mentioned.
