Old Journalist Notes

The Old Journalist Notes are written records in the Maxima version/update of World of Final Fantasy that describe Firion's tenure in Grymoire. Five records are found as shining objects, which are added to the player's Key Items inventory when obtained and can be read from there.

Obtaining all five Old Journalist Notes unlocks Firion's Champion Jewel, which can then be obtained by trading in two Arma Gems to the Girl Who Forgot Her Name.

There are reports of a man who is leading a personal resistance movement against the surging Bahamutian Army. He calls himself that "Wild Rose Rebel," and is known for his silver hair and colorful bandana. Unbelievable rumors of him ambushing key Bahamutian figures and destroying Bahamutian Ships abound. A scoop like this Wild Rose Rebel is hard for a journalist to ignore; I have decided to head to Saronia, where he is rumored to be headed.

''Added by finding it in the tree next to the Gate in Saronia Harbor. Cannot be gotten during the Cogna invasion, but will still be available after completing the game.''

The rumors were true; the Wild Rose Rebel had indeed visited Saronia. A local fisherman told me that a man wearing a flashy bandana had asked to charter his boat, claiming he had business in Agarthir. The fisherman refused his request, telling him to go ask pirates for a ride. To which the man apparently answered, "Where can I find some pirates?" The fisherman, initially annoyed by the man's surly behavior, could not help but be impressed by his bravado.

As this town has joined the Bahamution Federation, its streets are littered with notices of wanted individuals who have perpetrated crimes against the Federation. Once such notice reads, "The Wild Rose Rebel -- silver hair, bandana, armor, cloak, red sword. Dangerous criminal who perpetrated the recent assault on the esteemed Master Borghen. Thought to be hiding in the vicinity. Eyewitnesses should alert a Federation soldier immediately." There is no doubt that the Federation views the Wild Rose Rebel as a threat.
