Quist, Jacob “The Theory Behind Game Mechanics” in Quist.co, March 4, 2011, http://quist.co/post/3636835532/the-theory-behind-game-mechanics

WHEREIn Great Crystal, after receiving Treaty-Blade, player can access the Upper layer. There's an area with 2 paths linked together within waystone XX where all Mombomb (15,000 - 17,000 HP) resides together. The objective is to get 99 Diamond Armlets from them.

HOWHowever, player CAN INSTANTLY wipe it out with Death spell. So, have:

- 3 party member- 3 Heavy Armors - one for each (defense)- Indigo Pendant for 100% magick strike

If Mombomb has shell, use Gambit to dispose the buff.

Since the entire battle involve magickusage, it's best to have High Evasion Shield (Demon Shield, Zodiac Escutheon) with Main Gauche. Chain them until Lv.3 and start collecting the loots.

LOOT (doing the math)Since Diamond Armlet priced at 20,000 Gil, the sell amount is 10,000 Gil. If player have 99 of it:

10,000 x 99 = 990,000 Gil + 99 Bomb Shells + 99 Fire Crystals

There goes your 1,000,000+ Gil profit

INFINITE MONEY - The method

• First, you'll need 2+ PS3 remotes to do this. • Start up a Multiplayer Story mode game. • Log into Player 1 with your PS3's account name. • Have additional players log into the game as a Guest. • Now as player 1 pick the character who you want to give the money to

and have the "guest" players log into the character with the most money on hand.

• Get to a shop and have the "guest" players lend all of their money over to player 1.

• Exit the map to save data, then Exit the Game. • Repeat. • Game only saves data for your character and not the guest characters

playing, so all the money that was on the character for player 1 is saved when transferred while the money in "guest" players where not decreased. This can be done alternatively by using the Noble Sacrifice cheat, gathering the money then reviving the second player.

• This can be done indefinitely without any real loss of life and is a great alternative for early players with no money.

Everything has its price

This is an important distinction: video games are not just stages that facilitate cultural, social, or political practices; they are also media where cultural values themselves can be represented—for critique, satire, education, or commentary. When understood in this way, we can learn to read games as deliberate expressions of particular perspectives. In other words, video games make claims about the world, which players can understand, evaluate, and deliberate.
