Hello all,

I am a little new to the site, but I am playing FF4 on a Playstation release. I first played the game back in high school in the mid 90's, and I remember that there used to be a trick for "doubling" the items in the characters hands. I always figured it was just some kind of a glitch in the program, but it worked like a charm when trying to get stuff for the Ninja to throw (since he basicly can't steal anything).
Was this glitch of code fixed in the Playstation release? Either the code has been patched, or I am just remembering the method incorrectly.
Any ideas/suggestions out there?

As far as i know only Edge can Dual Wield. Oh and he can steal to.

Well, double wielding isn't really what I mean.

There used to be a way on the SNES cartidge that you could generate copies of the items in the characters hands by detatching them in battle and then running away to re equip them later. I did it lots of times in the past, but that was like 12+ years ago, so I might not remember the steps exactly. I definitely remember making multiple copies of the Excabiler sword so that Edge would have something brutal to throw at bosses on the lower moon levels. I remember one time I had like 20 of them.

Someone tell me I am not dreaming on this.

Oh never played the Snes One. But i found the trick.

Item Replication: This is a truely cheap trick once you get far enough in the game. To replicate any item that a given character can equip, enter a battle, use the item command to unequip the item (make sure you select a blank inventory space before you select the equipped weapon/item or the glitch won't work) and end the battle. Go into the equip option from the sub-menu to re-equip the chosen character. Whatever weapon (aside from arrows, unless you only equip one single arrow) you equip on the character will be duplicated in the character's hand! Unequip the double-weapon (you don't get any attack bonus for holding two in the same hand) and re-equip it. One of the weapons will go to your hand, the other will be in your inventory. Try this with the Excalibur sword; it makes a beast throwing dart (7000+ damage)!

Outstanding, Thank you!

I was forgetting to first select the blank spot in the inventory. Looks like the glitch is alive and well in the Playstation release.
