The golden frog participates in the mating process, and thus is at risk of disappearing or falling victim to the eighth-slot bug.
When the golden frog reaches adulthood, any frogs already present are "updated" to reflect the new maturity level requirements. A newborn golden frog has the same maturity level requirements as a normal frog, and its presence will not have an effect until it is an adult. The odds of a newborn tadpole being the golden frog are 50% if one does not already exist.
Only one golden frog can exist at one time. If the player catches the golden frog, the next one may give a different bonus.
The particular bonuses are determined by chance. The bonuses apply to the golden frog's home pond. The golden frog also changes the successful mating chance to anywhere from 50% to 100% per available slot. There are three variations on the effect the golden frog can have: babies are born at LV1 and become adults at LV2, tadpoles become babies at LV2 and adults at LV4, or tadpoles become babies at LV3 and adults at LV6. The golden frog accelerates frog growth by lowering the maturity level requirements. It is impossible to determine which frog is in which slot, so the player cannot anticipate the glitch. There is a bug wherein any frog occupying the eighth slot will not count when the game determines the number of males and females left, meaning one is at risk of returning to an empty pond after leaving a male and a female behind. If single-gender groups of adults, babies, or tadpoles are left behind on a pond they will simply disappear. Saving the game outside a marsh, one can reset and try again to spawn more frogs.

The random number generator allows the player to play the odds via resets. Only couples of frogs will mate there is no polygamy. There is a 50% chance a tadpole will be born per available slot. If there are several levels to gain at one time, the mating process will occur before each level up is given. Each pond has eight frog slots and at level up, an adult male and an adult female will mate as many times as there are available slots until either a tadpole is born to fill a slot, or mating fails at every slot. Whether a pair of frogs will reproduce is chance-based. If a marsh is cleared empty, a LV1 female and LV1 male will spawn on the next visit. The level cap is 15, but a frog can begin mating when it has reached level 10. Current level dictates the current stage of maturity. Each adult frog, baby frog and tadpole gains a level for every Marsh Time period that has passed since the last visit. The ponds have a preset mix of frogs before the player's first visit that is almost guaranteed to change when the player arrives due to the passage of time, since all ponds begin with 00:00:00 as their "time of last exit".įrog maturity is determined by a level system. Only time spent outside the marshes matters. Frogs will disappear from the pond if single-gender groups are left behind on a marsh. The game decides what will happen in the pond the moment the player enters a marsh, and frequent visits can be detrimental. There are limits to how little or how much time is necessary to affect the pond's inhabitants. Each marsh handles the passage of time differently, and has its own rate of growth and regeneration. The golden frog is not sexually ambiguous.įrog growth is time-based. Mating is chance-based and occur between a male and female pair of frogs there is no polygamy. Baby frogs are genderless, but will count as 1 frog when caught.
Females are a slightly lighter shade of green (although this can be hard to distinguish). Females also have red feet while males have yellow. Female frogs have a black stripe running the length of their bodies, which males lack. Catching the golden frog in the latest versions of Final Fantasy IX yields the achievement/trophy Going for the Gold.įrogs display sexual dimorphism in a number of ways. There can be only one golden frog in-game at one time, counting all four marshes. Leaving a male and a female frog at each marsh ensures that the population will regenerate quickly, and leaving a golden frog will further boost the rate the frogs will spawn.
