What do you mean by "aggressive campaign?"
  • 1 of 4: I had an aggressive campaign in my MM8 hint file which proved very useful to many readers, so I decided to add one to my MM9 file, as well.
  • 2 of 4: The major goals of this campaign are as follows:

    * to get an Elemental Magic master early in the game
    * to get all of the artifacts in the game
    * to finish the game with the most powerful party possible
    * to finish the game with the highest score possible
  • 3 of 4: The following hint sections aren't detailed walkthrus of the various regions, but are instead lists of essential things to do in order to make the aggressive campaign work. You should already be familiar with the game from having played it through a few times already before you do the campaign.
  • 4 of 4: SPOILER WARNING: Many tips, tricks, and solutions are mentioned in these hints, so don't read them unless you're sure you want to go on an aggressive campaign.
