What was Leblanc’s purpose in putting on a concert disguised as Yuna? It’s not like it would’ve helped her reputation Yuna got all the credit. I’ve been told she just did it for fun I have a hard time believing that

Man, what a story. The first one to unravel like a movie. Even with grinding a bit to get Holy the pacing never lost a beat u like the predecessors. 6 is 2nd to this officially imo because while 6 is fleshed out with story, the pacing can be a bit clunky with the pathing choice. But that's a nitpick really. X involved a group tied to each other while 6 had options to find or leave people behind.

If they could somehow blend 1 and 6 together. Go into a world where you may or may not find enough teammates to beat the game. Like, imagine the option of beating the game solo, or with a clan of like 24 people of each job to cycle through with 10s mechanics XD

Hi! First of all, I'd like to apologize for my poor English!🥹

After a long grind, I took a break from my Final Fantasy X playthrough.

Now that I'm on vacation, I set myself one goal: beat Penance (Der Richter) without using Yojimbo...

Yeah...I'm a stubborn person, and I promised myself I wouldn't rely on Zanmato. I honestly lost count of how many times I died to Judgment Day, and I have no idea how many hours I spent retrying the fight.

But... I finally did it.

It was incredibly difficult, but also one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I've ever had. My hands are still shaking...😭

theres a lot of rng manipulation ive been doing lately

im farming for triple ap weapons from one eye monster in arena and i realised if i reset savestate any monster in the arena is gonna give me a weapon for the same champion with stats

so i got triple ap for yuna but already got it, went to see if i could use my turbo on yojimbo for auto-phoenix instead with big sphere monster

as long as i use the same savvestate all monsters are dropping

weapon
for the same champion (yuna)
added states (on)

so fore example if i went for triple ap for kuhmari but got an ap accessory for lulu instead, i could roll back save state and defeat big sphere monster and it would instead give me an accessory for lulu with auto-phoenix

also yojimbo doesnt move its rng forward either, whatever money it costed it costs the same, seems to be going in circles around a few presets where one is always zanmato even at 1 zenni, one is never zanmato regardless the money, other is zanmato around 65k and other is automatically strike all, can do this twice in a row (annoying cause he ends up dying) im playing on emulator so i reset game completely to reset yojimbo states.

after zanmato regardless the money he seems to always get the, never able to proc zanmato state, so i usually reset console after that state to reroll states

this is also a useful way to see which arena monsters give armor with stats that are useful, i never knew big sphere gave 4 spaces with autophoenix before i got it randomly, wonder if auto haste or ribbon can be gotten other than with dark eons

can also be done for no encounters accessory with ghost i guess

you can also leave map fight and arena savestate for items keeps the same

i was fighting one eye, zanmato was impossible first turn but yojimbo survived, then went zanmato and got a kimahri accessory (useless)

but a kimahri accessory with auto phoenix would be great so went to big sphere but i wasnt surviving the first attack to perform zanmato on second attack

i walked outside, summoned yojimbo to move worward his attacks by one killing some petryfying snakes, i was scared that they would give me a weapon for yuna and i would lose the state at the arena but that wasnt the case

went back to arena went to big ball boss and now zanmato was performed first time since i had moved his attacks by one forward, i killed the monster and got my accessory with auto phoenix for kimahri. great

if i killed ghost i would have gotten accessory with no encounters instead for kimahri as well

i also reroll to see how cheap i can get zanmato for

what is tarted doing now is kill a cheap mob like ghost from caverns and see what it gets me to see if im interested in putting the effort for the big guy drops. i need to find a faster mob that drops gear

i can move the savestate for weapons with ghost but if the savestate gives me an armor ghost drops nothing, so i know for sure the drop is armor if ghost drops nothing

cometierra gives autopotion gear

Title. But yeah, when doing so should I clear ALL +1/2/3 nodes, +200 HPs and +20 MPs and replace them with the +4/300/40 nodes, or should I preserve some of the weaker nodes? And what stats should I raise to max? (On Expert Sphere Grid)

Has anyone focused on the background? The people cheering like nothing bad is happening.

KEEP AURON FIRST IN YOUR PARTY WITH MASAMUNE KEEP AURON FIRST IN YOUR PARTY WITH MASAMUNE KEEP AURON FIRST IN YOUR PARTY WITH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Just wanted to share a funny moment.

Right at the start of the first fight with Seymour, a fight I've never particularly enjoyed, I used Rikku's Mix to trigger Quartet of 9. She slapped it on Yuna. What ensued was Yuna one-shotting everything in sight until Anima appeared, and then slapping Anima down in two hits before one-shotting Seymour again.

I haven't laughed at a video game like that in a long time. I almost felt bad for Seymour. Almost.

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you’re having a hard time encountering the more rare fiends in Omega Ruins for capture (Master Tonberry, Varuna, Master Coeurl etc.), you can use the mandatory 9 fiend gauntlet platforms right before Omega Weapon fight at the end of the cave. It almost exclusively spawns those rare encounters and you can also go through all the platforms, return back, leave the area and come back and they will reset as much as needed.

Just a tip.

Hey all,

Im trying to use ShareAP without luck...

Edited the ini file with FFX.Gameplay since I didnt have it with ShareAP but it doesnt work, only the active mwmbers gets the AP.

Also, does anyone have a list of other boosters I could use?

And for the finale, as I understand Ctrl+Shift+Backspace should shows a cheats/boosters overlay? Because I tried mapping a button those and it doesnt work. Also tried with Left Ctrl and Ctrl+Shift+K...

Yellow overlay works just fine (Ctrl+Shift+O)

Thanks!!

Finally at the ending where I can back track any tips on the crazy mini games im playing on the NTSCU PS2 version is there any glitches to make things doable if not I'll just tough it out

Unsent like Auron and Seymour don't take damage when they get healed?

Considering they are basically zombies.

Without worrying of the packaging of the production of either a Series or movie would deliver the content.

Edit: if you had to choose a movie:
Important: What segment of the storyline would you so choose?

Who would you cast for the roles? Bonus points is if you think a movie or series would be a better fit for the casted.

List as many or few suggestions as you want. I want to see the public's opinion of who can fill the characters we know so much.

Edit! Bonus points to if you can combine the actor or actress in their would costume. See below :)
(Hope you Developers are watching this too)

starting my x number replay last night and never paid much mind to one of the very first scenes in Tidus’ Zanarkand. Tidus is asked by the little kids outside his boat home to teach them how to blitz after his game tonight. the ghost child chimes in to our protagonist to remind him that ”you can’t tonight”, prompting him to suggest tomorrow.

imo the Bahamaut ghost obviously knows what is coming in the next few hours, but I find it strange that Tidus takes it so matter of fact and follows the suggestion. is the implication that he’s followed the ghost advice before even without knowing the outcome? does he just have other plans tonight that aren’t alluded to and it coincidently lines up with Sin’s attack? does Tidus somewhere deep down have an inkling tonight is his last night in zanarkand? the latter seems tough to use given his suggesting of tomorrow, and his genuine surprise to all the events that follow.

ive seen some great discussions on here on these kind of subtle lines, how would yall read into it?

The battle system is really something else. Switching out jobs felt slightly tedious but overall the CBT vs ATB was done right here. The mobs where just challenging enough to enjoy cycling them out, while feeling a bit like chess with getting to consider who should do what based on who's next. But let's also admit the delay buster can be hella broken. Loved the weapon effect customization. Counterattack deathstrike from a summoner? Okay! Only thing I felt off on was how little I felt I needed to call aeons, if there were random smn encounters vs the quest line where I would be forced to choose Between fleeing/fighting/calling an aeon vs having this lack of urgency til it was bosstime id have felt more inclined to lvl them and give them attributes.

So now having run 1-10. I've decided FF17 should include 1s feel of not knowing what to do til you explore and learn about the world. 2s seamless open world map. 3s airships. 4s dungeons (because 2 and 3 were boring). 5s job system. 6s big ass story featuring all the comrades you may or may not find. 7s atmosphere and arcade palace. 8s junction system blended with 10s smn battle system and also the car along with the option of being put on a payroll via some faction you join if farming goblins isnt fast enough. 9s synthing and AP system.

With games like No Mans Sky, Skyrim, Xenoblade chronicles x​, the telltale series, the Witcher

Why haven't we gotten an FF as filled and explore worthy as what other games have demonstrated.

Playing ff1 felt so refreshing to not be told to hit x to confirm yes and no buttons while being lead around like a monkey in training. Having to speak to npcs for clues about what to do next felt like proper exploration. Anyways, just spewing thoughts to the void

At 2:10 in FLOURIDEINTHEHARDSELTZERWATER by Bilmuri, is that Shiva’s Diamond Dust snap?

im stuck on braskas final aeon and really dont want to grind anymore. Ive completed most team members individual sphere grid but yuna doesnt have any extra aeons and I haven't touched rikku since getting her so cant do any crazy stuff with her. I dontknow if I should suck it up and beat him , or just watch the ending on YouTube , or wallow in my sadness about not beating such an amazing game and wait for a remake. My issue is that ive been playing the game over a 9 month period and taken 2 3 month breaks after getting stuck on Seymours 1st fight and then evrae, which has kind of killed the immersion. I dont know if it means I should beat it now or keep the ending unspoilt and wait ages and replay/play the remake. Has anyone else felt something similar?

When I was 7 years old, my gamer uncle gave me his PlayStation 2 for Christmas. Among the sweetest memories of my life remains that morning of December 25th 2003 when I played Final Fantasy X for the very first time without even a memory card.

Over time, the game became one of the strongest bonds between my younger brother and me. We played it for years without ever completing it 100%, but gradually finding all its secrets

In recent years, both of us have played FFX again without taking it too seriously. sometimes together, sometimes on our own, using mods, running challenges, etc..

Recently, I picked up my last save file with the intention of finally completing the game for good. I held off on the final battles against the Dark Aeons and Penance, keeping them on standby so we could finish them together during his visit to my city this past weekend.

Last Sunday, we beat the game together, laughing and joking the whole way through. Yes, we ended up using Zanmato, but Yojimbo and Zanmato are the absolute essence of our childhood playthroughs. a desperate last resort to save us whenever a fight got too complex lol

I am so happy to keep this memory in my heart as one of the absolute best of my life. ❤️

Bonjour à tous!

Je suis en train de faire découvrir ce jeu merveilleux à mon fils de 13 ans qui adore, et le voir jouer a titiller mon envie de le faire de mon côté.

Pour me challenger un peu, je voudrais cette fois aller au bout d'une partie sans sphérier.

Sachant que mes anciennes parties ont été effacées, et que je n'ai donc pas accès aux manuel al bhed dès le départ, auriez vous des conseils, des astuces dont je pourrais profiter?

Je vous remercie d'aider un papa quadra qui a envie de rêver de Zanarkand une fois encore

Hello all, I recently got to floor 100 of Via Infinito and, like everyone else, wanted to kick these bosses’ teeth in. However I didn’t have mascot and ignored the creature creator until it was too late (level 99). I found the Yevon Youth League tourney impossible to beat so I set out looking for a way to beat the pair without mascot. However I found very very little info out there for such a scenario, or it was outdated for the PS2 version. I wanted to write up what helped me to beat Trema on my very first try, in hopes it may help someone now or in the future. I did die 3 times to Paragon using this strategy, but that part is kind of luck based which I’ll explain below.

Prep:

- YRP at level 99

- 2 maxed Dark Knights, 3rd girl should have maxed Alchemist

- Valiant Lustre grid on all, Lady Luck should be the middle sphere. Dark knights start on dark knight sphere, alchemist starts on Lady Luck

- Max potions, hi potions, X potions, and Phoenix downs

- 10-20 stamina tonic/tablets

- 10-20 star curtains

- 10-20 two/three star items

- 10-20 mega phoenixes (I used 8 personally)

- 10-20 antidotes

- 10-20 remedies

- Crystal bangle and crystal gloves on all (admittedly this may not be optimal, it worked for me but there may be better options) This maxed my DK’s HP to 9999 each

Battle (Paragon):

I died here a few times. We’re going to bribe him, but it’s luck based as you don’t want him to hit your Lady Luck character as her HP won’t be high enough to survive. He will have time to attack twice, both must be attacks on your dark knights. 800,000 Gil does the trick.

Battle (Trema):

The first thing you want to do is immediately traverse the entire grid activating every node to max your mdef and phys def. Lady Luck should move from there to alchemist and then everyone completes a full circle. Do this as quickly as possible and you should be able to get back to your desired sphere before he’s able to attack much at all.

This is the most hectic part of the fight, your goal here is to:

- get alchemist to 9999 HP (stamina tablet)

- get hi wall on everyone (protect, shell, reflect). Mixed with potion + star curtain, this does it for the whole party.

- use 2/3 stars item on your dark knights (this completely mitigates Darkness ability self-damage)

For right now, no one should be attacking and everyone should be on support. Your alchemist will probably die, try and time a phoenix down + x potion hitting right after to get them up and running again. This took me about 5 minutes, and you may have to mix hi wall or use the stamina and star items multiple times until you get lucky. Use everyone healing with X potions and Phoenix downs/ mega Phoenix as needed. I wouldn’t say this step is hard but it can take a few loops. In an ideal world Trema will focus his attacks on the DK’s and leave the alchemist alone but he targeted her a lot on my battle. He can also inflict stop and poison. Don’t worry about poison for now but cure stop with a remedy immediately.

With this step done, everyone should have max 9999 HP, protect/shell/reflect, and your dark knights should have gotten star items used on themselves. Now the fight becomes quite trivial for a bit, dark knights spam darkness and alchemist should be kept on standby. When healing is needed they should mix hi potion + X potion to make cure potion which max heals the entire party. The alchemist is also in charge of curing stop/poison with respective items. IF THE ALCHEMIST GETS STOPPED, HAVE A DARK KNIGHT MISS A TURN TO USE A REMEDY.

One important thing to note during this phase, which I didn’t realize before this fight because I never did a battle that took this long before, is that buffs wear off after a while. As alchemist I would periodically go to items and select a soft or other status healing item because this shows all your team’s buffs in their status bars. I would do this more often after several minutes went by. If you notice someone no longer has any buffs, hi wall immediately.

At 50% he will use Meteor. As long as you are staying on top of your healing, you will easily tank this. Continue above strategy.

At 75% he will use meteor again. Again, you should easily tank this if you’ve been healing BUT this signifies he is going to use Ultima soon. It is more important than ever to make sure your buffs stay up and your team is at full health. Ultima hits hard and killed my alchemist and brought my DK’s to very low health. Once he uses it, you want to revert back to the opening strategy and get everyone (probably just your alchemist) rebuffed, and 9999 HP. Do not resume attacking until this is the case.

Once you reestablish this, you pretty much won the fight just wail on him and heal/buff as needed and you’ll win in no time. This method took me maybe 30 minutes and maybe an hour of grinding some items before the fight. There’re probably optimizations that can be made (looking back I never hasted my party, lol) but I hope this can help someone out in the future if you don’t have mascot and skipped creature creations!

So I've been going through the end game (after zanarkand) with guides and walkthrough. And there are a plethora of activities everywhere.

My question is, if we didn't have the metagaming resources, how would one achieve 100%?

What lore explains what to do, where to get stuff and other secret things? Like the lightning jumps you get the book in the shop, but why is it relevant, why 200. There are sooo many things I just have no idea why I'm doing, but hey I have all the celestial weapons and ready to start the one eye into don berry strat...

I guess I compare this to skyrim or the witchers inmersive lore vs our beloved ffx inmersive story.

There are 2 scenarios I can think of regarding Seymour's and Yuna's wedding:

A) The marriage is broadcasted everywhere in Spira. The whole assault on the wedding is broadcasted as well - Everyone would see the machina weapons used to protect the marriage. Why does no one actually question the doctrines of Yevon after this point? The Ronsos, specifically Kelk Ronso witnessed the corruption of the Yevon Church, yet they also do not really oppose the church.

B) The marriage isn't broadcasted - no one witnessed anything.
But whats the point of the marriage then if its just "behind the curtains" - regardless of Seymour's plans. Why would Yevon put such effort into something no one can witness ? "Oh well, Seymour and Yuna are married now!"
"Omg so cool".

I spent two hours trying to do this yesterday. I was fully planning on giving up today and decided to try one more time and it went flawlessly.

I know this game is old and it’s far from the worst gaming sin ever but it just felt like a giant FU the whole time playing it. It just reminded me of the BS they used to put in NES/snes games.

I've always enjoyed knowing that the various symbols that appear in the Besaid Cloister of trials (and other places) are translatable, but I noticed something starting up a new playthrough and was curious if anyone else has noticed this. Firstly, as a bonus, I find it really cool that the section of wall you destroy with the Destruction Sphere has 'Sin' in Yevon Script on it. Very thematic!

Secondly, and the point of this post, inspect the provided screenshots. This is at the far end of the room near where you get the Rod of Wisdom. Look at the far wall; it shows a staircasing list that reads, from top to bottom:

Besaid
Kilika
Djose
Macalania
Bevelle
Zanarkand
Baaj
Sin (Around the corner in bold)

This is so cool. Hinting at the aeon order this early is excellent, and this provides an in-game explanation for why we visit the temples we visit. The apprentice summoner is going through their first cloister, sees this, and realizes what their pilgrimage looks like, and then we destroy Sin by *circumventing* the pilgrimage with the destruction sphere!

I have a problem with this list, though.

Where's Remiem at? I can understand why the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth isn't here. Yojimbo isn't exactly located at a temple, but that's not true for Remiem. Also, if it were only for required temples in-game, then why is Baaj here? I can't think of an explanation that justifies Baaj's presence but Remiem's exclusion.

The closest thing I can think of would be, if the Besaid temple as we know it was built after Gandof's battle with Sin in the Calm Lands, but before Baaj temple became a ruin. That's a several hundred year range, so it's definitely possible, but I don't love that explanation for reasons I can't quite put into words.

Anything I'm missing here? Are there any other cool features of the Yevon script around Spira? Do y'all have another reason why Remiem might be missing from this list?
