Welcome to the Perfect Beatrix Guide 5.0
========================================

This FAQ is copyright 2000 to me. Don't copy or plagarise, it's naughty!

It is only appropiate that I make a real guide to get the most
controversial character in the game, Beatrix. The valkyrie
who's Steiner's sweetheart can now be yours, glitch free!

This method is no joke, as opposed to my "infamous" method on 
GameFAQs's FF9 messageboard which just satired FF6 and FF7's 
rumored characters and revivals.

You'll need a Gameshark, Pro Action Replay, etc. And now...
after MUCH request, is the North American Beatrix method!
It is untested though, will someone test it and email me?

This is best printed with Microsoft Word, period.


I. Getting Beatrix
==================

I-A. Japanese Method
---------------------
- Enter the code 801F4736-0208 in your device
- Start your saved game
- When you appear, immediately save again
- Do not go to the menu screen nor get into a battle
- Turn off the Gameshark and reset (L1, L2, Start, Select)
- Go back into your saved game and into the party screen
- You should now have ALL nine slots filled, one for you-know-who

I-B. North American Method
---------------------------
- Enter the codes E01F4761-00FF and 301F4761-0008 in your device
- Beatrix should now be in the final slot of your party screen
***** This is untested, I could use some confirmation that this works *****

=====================

II-A. Stuff to Remember
------------------------
- She is at Level 20, so start building up her levels
- She already has all her abilities and cannot learn more
