It was about my fourth or fifth playthrough when I found Daguerreo for the first time.

No kidding.

I like 'em, although I feel for the poor sap that gets duped into giving it a Diamond, thinking it's one of the friendly sidequest monsters. That cap looks pretty swizz, too...I guess there's really only one way to skin a cat.

OH YEAH, THAT PLACE! I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE GAME, i like, went up the ladder to see what it was and i ...died with in an instant because i was still to early in the game to take on these....dragons..;|

I like FFIX's 'bonus monsters'. From Gimmie Cat to the friendly beasts, and even Ragtime Mouse's quiz (what the hell kind of mouse is that thing anyway?), they helped to add to the idea that not every wild animal in this world is simply a mindless, bloodthirsty killer.

Hell, Grand Dragons are all over the place, but I believe Popos Heights is the only place you can fight them without interruptions from other enemies.

And agreed with Big D, to be somewhat more on topic. Ragtime Mouse is pretty much a "friendly" Agares. Random details like that are interesting to me.

I noticed that FF has named some of there monsters after actual demons. Agares is a demon, Behemoth, etc.

I found it on my first playthrough, but admittedly I stumbled on it completely by accident. Great location anyway, and love the music.

The Ragtime Mouse thing is fun, and it gives an extra point to the random bits of info you see on signs etc throughout the game.

I like the sidequests in FFIX as they help to flesh out the world and add to the character of the game. The Gimme Cat though was annoying, the first time I fought it I thought it was a friendly monster, luckily I'd saved right before the fight so it was merely annoyingyet when I found out after encountering it a second time it gives 1 exp I developed a hatred for that encounter!
