Zell Card

The Zell Card is no longer played by Ma Dincht in Balamb and is now a sidequest reward for
completing the Pigtail Girl sidequest. It doesn't even matter how many of the library conversations
the player has seen - the event at Balamb Hotel can always be triggered by talking to a woman that
appears at Balamb entrance on disc 3, then talking to Ma Dincht, and then finally staying at the hotel
with Zell in your party. The library visits only determine how much of the dialogue between Zell and
the Pigtail Girl can be followed, and won't have an impact on the rewards at all.

Queen of Cards sidequest

Instead of the Minimog card, you need to lose the Quezacotl card to the Card Queen to initiate this
sidequest. This creates the Kiros card, which can then be found at Winhill Inn instead of Deling City
streets. Second, instead of the Sacred Card, the Card Queen now requests the Pandemona card. This
will create the Irvine card, which can still be won from Flo in Fisherman's Horizon. The rest of the
quest remains the same as in the base game.

Pet Pals Magazines

Pet Pals Vol. 3 and 4 can no longer be purchased from Timber Pet Store without Familiar Ability
unlocked. Pet Pals Vol. 3 is now one of the items that can be found as part of the dog sidequest in
Dollet when doing it on disc 1 or 2, while Pet Pals Vol. 4 is now received randomly after staying at
Galbadia Hotel in Deling City. Pet Pals Vol. 5 and 6 can be obtained by completing new sidequests in
Deling City and Balamb Garden, respectively.
