Side-quests are not that important in order to beat the game but, beating each side-quests makes the game more fun. I've chosen to write a FAQ about Ragtime Mouse to provide more information about it. Ragtime Mouse is just a side-quest of the Final Fantasy IX game. Again, you don't have to complete this side-quest just to finish the game but, if you want to complete the Ragtime Mouse side-quest, feel free to use this FAQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 - Known Location ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ragtime Mouse appears randomly at any forests in the world map. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 - Ragtime Mouse Questions and Answers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following includes the Ragtime Mouse's questions, including the correct answer itself. He will ask you the following questions randomly so don't expect that the Ragtime Mouse will ask you the questions in order. Question 16 is always the last. When you walk in the forests, you may encounter Ragtime Mouse. He will quiz you about Final Fantasy IX, so if you think the answer is correct, hit the True target, and if it is incorrect, hit the False target. If you answer a question incorrectly, the question disappears and will not be asked again. However, if you cause an invalid response by performing one of the three actions outlined below, the question will be cancelled and asked again the next time you encounter Ragtime Mouse. Remember, too, that if you don't answer the question within 20 seconds, it will be counted as an incorrect answer. KEY: Scenario - Questions - Answers Start of game before leaving Mist continent. - The 15th Lindblum War started in 1600. - False - Chocobo Forest is located between Lindblum and South Gate. - True - The Theathre Ship Prima Vista was built in Artania Shipyards. - False - "I want to be your canary" was written by Lord Afon. - False To Outer Continent before getting Blue Narciss. - Lindblum Castle is larger than Alexandria Castle. - True - Some Mus are friendly and don't attack. - True - Fossil Roo is a tunnel that connects Treno and Alexandria. - False - Theathre Ship Prima Vista uses Mist as its source of energy. - True - Burkmea cable cars have been running for eaight years. - True - Lindblum's air cabs operate around the clock. - True After getting Blue Narciss. - Only one desert exists in the entire world. - False - Conde Petie is a village of Goblins. - False - Prima Vista means love at first sight. - False - Treno's cafe, Card Carta, is members only. - True - Bobo bird is a bird that brings you fortune. - False After answering the questions above. - You can defeat Ragtime Mouse. - True ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 - Rewards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the list of rewards if you answered his questions correctly. The reward depends on the number of question you have answered correctly. If you answered the question incorrectly, you will be attacked by the Ragtime Mouse but he wont cost any damage. KEY: Question No - Reward Question 1 - 1,000 Gil Question 2 - 1,000 Gil Question 3 - 1,000 Gil Question 4 - 2,000 Gil Question 5 - 2,000 Gil Question 6 - 3,000 Gil Question 7 - 3,000 Gil Question 8 - 4,000 Gil Question 9 - 4,000 Gil Question 10 - 5,000 Gil Question 11 - 5,000 Gil Question 12 - 6,000 Gil Question 13 - 6,000 Gil Question 14 - 7,000 Gil Question 15 - 7,000 Gil Question 16 - 10,000 Gil When you have answered all 16 questions, you will have the chance to meet Ragtime Mouse again, and during that encounter you will be told the percentage of correct answers you have made. Ragtime Mouse will then give his personal comment about the score and leave. If your score is over 80% (more than 13 correct answers), you will get a Protect Ring as a reward. If you get a perfect 100%, Ragtime Mouse will self-destruct and you will get experience points as well as Gil, along with the Protect Ring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. I'm looking for him in the forest. Why can't I find the Ragtime Mouse? The Ragtime Mouse appears randomly in all the forests so don't expect to see always. 2. Where are the other guides for other side-quests? This FAQ is only made for 1 side-quest which is about the Ragtime Mouse. Ragtime Mouse is the only one and main focus of this FAQ. 3. Tips and Hints? All I know is that the Ragtime Mouse appears randomly in any forests. If you know in any way on how to make them appear more often, please e-mail me, I will update this FAQ ASAP and I will really appreciate it and give you credit. Also, if you know some other helpful information on the Ragtime Mouse that is not shown on this FAQ, please e-mail me. 4. How come the answers are wrong? Actions that cause invalid answers: 1. Targeting Ragtime Mouse with any type of action. 2. Doing a group attack, meaning you attack both the circle and the cross. 3. If you didn't answer the question within 20 seconds. 4. Escaping from the battle. 6. What happens if you answered the questions incorrectly? He wont ask the question again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 - Credits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Squaresoft for making such a great game. - My parents for buying me the game. - Neoseeker.com for posting this on their site. - IGN.com for posting this on their site. - PhoEnix (Dmitriy Pankratyev) for filling all the ????'s up!
