Final Fantasy IX Quick Tip: The Ragtime Mouse

When you wander around a few areas in the game, you are likely to come across a creature known as The Ragtime Mouse. He’s a bit of a jester-type creature and he simply asks you questions about the environment of the game and its history. You can learn many of the answers by talking to the people you meet throughout each land, city, village, and whatnot, so be a sponge for the seemingly useless info people love to give to you in Final Fantasy games. You never know what might come up! The most common areas where the Ragtime Mouse can be found are: Gunitas Basin, Lindblum Plateau, Bentini Heights, Lucid Plains, Pualei Plains, and Alexandria Plateau.
