Ok, here's a simpler way of defeating sin, actually it's the easiest way ever:
Go to Zanarkand ruins and keep walking until you encounter that robot that shoots with a cannon, during the battle let him hit you and then finish him, you'll be given 2 Mega Phoenix as a reward. Keep doing that till you have 20, then you'll be able to customize auto-phoenix on an armour, do that to all characters.

I didn't have either of those things and it was still fairly easy to finish the game.

I didn't even realise you could recruit other team members till a month or 2 ago.

(I've had it for nearing on 2 years now)

:D

I won the Luca thingy in my first game, but lost horribly on my second.

And don't get me started on the blitzball in FFX-2!

It's not too hard when you get a decent team, it is a bit hard with the original team you have but not impossible. Soon as you get a decent keeper and another Defender that's all you really need

No offence, but you suck.

Wakka, I'll tell you a trick for beating sin. First of all you need to level up,the Don Tonberry AP trick is the most efficient way of gaining Sphere Levels.
With a little work, you could be gaining 99 Sphere Levels per character in just
under a minute or so.NOTE: When I refer to "AP Weapon", I'm talking about a weapon with the
following abilities:

[Triple AP] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Overdrive->AP]

Your weapon could have another ability added, but an AP Weapon is essentially
configured with the aforementioned abilities.

Preperation Step One - Unlock One-Eye
=====================================
You can either choose One-Eye or Ultima Buster to unlock. One-Eye is a lot
easier to unlock; he is also a lot easier to consisently kill. If you choose
to unlock Ultima Buster, you must capture at least FIVE of EVERY monster. If
you kill Ultima Buster, though, he could drop a weapon with [Triple AP],
[Triple Overdrive], and [Overdrive->AP], all abilities you will need anyway.
If you already have Ultima Buster unlocked, and you can kill him, try doing
that and seeing what you get. You could get all the weapons you need right
there.

To unlock One-Eye, you need to capture:
4 Floating Eye, found at Mi'ihen Highroad
4 Buer, found at Thunder Plains
4 Evil Eye, found at Macalania (Snowy)
4 Ahriman, found at Mt. Gagazet
4 Floating Death, found at Omega Ruins

Preperation Step Two - Battle One-Eye
=====================================
When you battle One-Eye, you'll have a good chance of getting of getting
weapons with [Triple AP] on them. What you want is a weapon with [Triple AP]
and two extra slots open. Battle One-Eye until he gives you what you need. Do
this for as many characters as you want.

Preperation Step Three - Customize [Overdrive->AP]
==================================================
Next, you'll need to use ten Doors to Tomorrow to customize [Overdrive->AP]
auto-ability onto a weapon. Luckily for you, these items are plentiful. You
can steal them from Ultima Weaponor bribe some mech warriors. Bomb King in the
Monster Arena will drop TWO Doors to Tomorrow if you overkill him. My favorite
way of getting Doors To Tomorrow: unlock six Monster Arena Area Creations.
That is by the far the easiest way. You'll get 99 Doors To Tomorrow from that,
and it is considerably easy work. Use ten Doors To Tomorrow and customize
[Overdrive->AP] on all your [Triple AP] weapons. There should now be one more
slot open.

Preperation Step Four - Customize [Triple Overdrive]
====================================================
This is by far the hardest part of the entire trick. To customize [Triple
Overdrive] onto a weapon, you'll need to use thirty Winning Formulas. Winning
Formulas can only be bribed from Sandworms or dropped by Ultima Buster. If you
plan to bribe a Sandworm, you'll need 900,000 gil for fifteen of them. Make
sure you save before you do it, incase something goes wrong. Ultima Buster
will drop two Winning Formulas for an overkill. The easiest way to get a lot
of Winning Formulas, although you can only do it once, is to unlock EVERY
Area Creation in the Monster Arena. It may take some time, but your reward is
the much needed quantity of 99 Winning Formulas. Use thirty Winning Formulas
per weapon and customize three weapons (or more, if you can) with [Triple
Overdrive]. Now at least three weapons should have:

[Triple AP] + [Triple Overdrive] + [Overdrive->AP]

Preperation Step Five - Setting Overdrive Modes
===============================================
Set all of your characters to Comrade overdrive mode. If they do not have this
mode, you will first need to earn it. Check out the overdrive section of this
guide for more.

Preperation Step Six - Unlock Don Tonberry
==========================================
To unlock Don Tonberry, you'll need to capture at least one of each of the
following enemies: Epaaj, Imp, Yowie, Thorn, Dark Element, Nidhogg, Valaha,
Ghost, and Tonberry. The Tonberry and Ghost could be considerably elusive, so
don't give up. For tips on catching some of these monsters, check out the
Monster Arena section of the guide.

Preperation Step Six - Preliminary Don Tonbbery Battle
======================================================
The first battle against Don Tonbery is for show, literally. Equip your
characters with their AP Weapons. Then, take on Don Tonberry.

Hit Don Tonberry with each of your characters. After being hit, Don Tonberry
counteracts with Karma. Appropriately named, Karma deals 100 damage per enemy
you've killed. Sound confusing?

For example:


Tidus has killed 634 enemies.

Tidus would be damaged with Karma for 63,400 damage (634 x 100 = 63,400).

Wakka has killed 539 enemies.

Wakka would be damaged with Karma for 53,900 damage (539 x 100 = 53,900).

Yuna has killed 15 enemies.

Yuna would be damaged with Karma for 1,500 damage (15 x 100 = 1,500).


Now it's time to judge what character will be your sacrificial character. This
character will need to take about 80,000 to 99,999 damage from karma. This
character will also need to have a low HP, prefferably below 5000.

Whatever character you choose to be your sacrifice, change that character's
overdrive mode to Stoic.

Preperation Step Seven - Raising Karma's Damage (OPTIONAL)
==========================================================
If your charactes are not being hit for enough karma (you'll need to be hit
for at least 80,000 damage on a LOW HP character), you will need to raise their
kill count. Now, you can either kill a lot of enemies normally, or you can use
a trick.

The trick is rather simple. Choose the character that you want to raise the
kill count on. Make sure that person attacks first in battle, automatically.
You do not want to have to cast Haste. [Auto-Haste] would be splendid, as
would [First Strike].

Once you're sure that your character will attack first in every battle, talk to
the Monster Arena Owner. Continually press X. A turbo controller would work
wonders, taped down on X.

So what does this do?

Basically, you'll constantly fight and kill Dingo, the first enemy on the the
Monster Arena list. By mashing the X button, you'll be killing Dino over and
over, raising your kill count.

99 Sphere Level Battle
======================
Now it's time to gain 99 Sphere Levels in just one match, after all that
one-time preperation. Phew. Luckily, the AP battles take only a minute or
two. Make sure your AP Weapons are equipped.

With your sacrificial character on Stoic, and the other two characters on
Comrade, start the bout with Don Tonberry. The sacrificial character should
attack Don Tonberry.

The low HP sacrificial character should be dealt at least 80,000 damage. By
using Triangle, defend with the other characters. Attack Don Tonberry five or
six times.

Once you've attack him five or six times, Flee from battle. Watch the AP sore
into 99 Sphere Levels. Sweet.Using [SOS Overdrive], [Double Overdrive], or [Double AP] instead of the
true, recommend abilities will seriously hurt this trick. If you use any of
those abilities, you may have to hit Don Tonberry a lot more times in battle,
resulting in a lot more damage being dealt. I strongly recommend that you do
not use [SOS Overdrive], in any case.Using [Double AP] with [Triple AP] cancels out [Double AP]. Don't bother.
The same thing applies to overdrives.. [Triple Overdrive] cancels any other,
weaker overdrive setting such as [SOS Overdrive] or [Double Overdrive].
