Final Fantasy I Walkthrough

4. Sailing Away

Now that you have the ship, you have the opportunity to get a lot of gold very fast. This is done through the ship minigame. You can access the minigame by holding down the confirm button and pressing the cancel button 55 times. You win 100 gil just for completing the puzzle, and you are timed. If you get the best time, you win 10,000 gil. You can get this prize over and over as long as you break the best time, so consider waiting until your current time is just slightly better than the record to finish the puzzle so you can win the prize over and over.

Head back to the Cornelia dock, then travel south on the boat until you reach land again. Follow this land to the west until you find another dock, and exit there. Just south of that dock is the city of Elfheim.
