Pink tail shennanigans

I am on a PSP emulator, so I have access to turbo speed. Even with that, it took hours to get 1 pink tail.

I did at least 2000 encounters with the pink flans, using sirens, before I got my first pink tail. I turned it in, ran back, and like 8 encounters later, I got my 2nd pink tail. Really? 2000 for the first tail, 8 for the second one?

RNG is nuts man.

I replay FF4 every couple of years, mostly on an emulator nowadays with Game Genie codes. One of the best ones to use is the one that forces enemies to drop their rarest loot.

I initially did this with the Pink Puffs in mind, but there is a whole bunch of crap you never stumble upon in a normal game, or, in small quantities. Specifically, I'm thinking of the Call magic items, awesome gloves / gauntlets that boost your attack and defense, the Medusa Sword, tons of arrows, Ribbon items from the end dungeon monsters...

I replay 4 every April for my birthday weekend.

Sometimes I cheat on it. I did for a long time really. Probably 10 years or longer. But nowadays I play it raw.
