The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The game forums are closing, so i am moving the popular FF forum here. No spamming, just 100% FF. Let's start with a question.... which of the FFs is the best?
Page:
I spent hours playing blitzball...the trouble is it gets too easy after a very short time. I think my highest win was 17-0, but I had a really good spell in one of my matches, and realised that if I could somehow multiply this so that it filled the whole game I could win 30-0.

Hmm.. see your point, but I'd have to re-start to do that.

Yeah, but not mine. Mine couldn;t survive alone against a small spider.

I can't beat Evrae. He was on 50 HP, Everyone on my team had Poison and very few HP. Anyway, selected Attack, felt real good then I died from Poison. @#$%!. :-)

Yeah, weird or what.
Yuna and Rikku versions (add-ons) for FFX meant to be in Japan by Christmas. That poster was found in the merchendise section of some games-show.
I wish they'd tell us what the hell is going on.

Jeez! All this quoting is making me nervous. By the way, has anyone seen that poster yet?

Ah, thats a shame, its much easier to get through if you give everybody a turn, that way, they all build up together and become a fighting force of 7 rather than just 3.

Same again then really, best to keep both of them with plenty of goes as well. All ya have to do is switch the characters, press triangle to defend, and then switch again - it counts as a go, and allows them to gain AP.

Seymour is weak in comparison to Wakka :D Later on in the game, the two are leagues apart.
> Kimahri's are weird, I usually pick the wrong one for who I'm fighting
The important ones for Kimahri are Mighty Guard (I think thats from Behemoth) and the one you get from Omega Weapon. The rest are fairly useless - in fact so is the one from Omega later in the game as its only one hit.
> I think you know all about my Wakka :-D
Yeh, shame about that, but you`ll have plenty of time to build him up later. If you take him into the Omega Ruins, and give him a quick go from time to time, his levels will absolutely rocket up. That`ll be aided as well if you can get a Triple AP weapon to use with him (try beating the Evil Eye over in the Monster Arena to collect them).

Yeh, shame about that, but you`ll have plenty of time to build him up later. If you take him into the Omega Ruins, and give him a quick go from time to time, his levels will absolutely rocket up.

No, I left Rikku and Wakka out from the moment I got them. Only use Yuna really for Aeons, and Lulu does get her turns when one of Ti/Aur/Kim Gets low on health.

Just as a pointer, I think I've got more experience in the Airship than the rest of the game.

My Wakka sucks. I want to kill him and hire Seymour for my team.

My Tidus' overdrive works well in Random Battles, and hits a large amount against bosses. Kimahri's are weird, I usually pick the wrong one for who I'm fighting

I think you know all about my Wakka :-D
Celestial Weapons:

When do you get the Celestial weapons? im at the far plains, i might start playing the game again (Got new PC and i can now play games and stuff) im currently catching all the monsters got two more to catch then im off well i want to get some more AP's to gain some levels
Ah, that makes more sense ya. Every character after the amount of time we have spent on the game (though I`m only at 110) takes off 99,999 very happily, and much more in overdrives, so yes, taking on stuff outside of the monster arena is very easy. Still, there`s plenty of fun to be had with Nemesis :D
