Ohh well, only took a few times and it worked out in the endThen you learn that that boss is vulnerable to Provoke.
Glad I wasn't the only person who took a screenshot of this
Take the stairs in the back, you'll get teleported in the same room, a chest appeared near said stairs. It's easy to miss.
Then you learn that that boss is vulnerable to Provoke.
The first time I played the game, once I figured out how it makes Defender X so easy, I started trying it on every boss. It's such a useful ability that doesn't seem so at first glance.
FFF- I would never have figured that out. Thanks.
Also, I was having issues with
dying while in zombie, healing, then succumbing to Megadeath attack.
The few times it's useful, it's extremely useful. Besides bosses, a lot of the more difficult random encounters are made harmless by using it.

Doesn't it make the Spectral Keeper boss fight also pretty trivial?
Yes, that's the boss ramyeon and I were talking about.

I'm in the Thunder Plains and was wondering about those Qactaur statues.
I touched three of the glowing ones and I thought I remembered some ghost appearing when you find the third one that leads you to a tower or something. It didn't appear. Do I need to go to a specific place to find it?

That's how it works. It leads you to a Celestial Weapon. Not sure why it didn't

Capture 5 each of the flying eye monsters to unlock One Eye at the Monster Arena. It drops weapons with Triple AP. Customize them with Overdrive -> AP. Then change everyone's Overdrive mode to Comrade, fight Don Tonberry or Cactuar King and have them constantly do 99,999 damage to you (which turns into AP).
I think X-2 looks better because its only three main characters while X had like 7 and were all on screen most of the time. Also does anyone know if any of the faces of X-2 were altered like in X, because the face changes made to X made characters like Tidus, Seymour and Yuna look worst than the PS2 faces and the game looking worse overall, I can't tell if Auron or Wakka faces also look worst since I don't remember. If they would of kept original faces intact X would of looked 100x better than how it is now. But I tried x-2 real quick to see how it looked and it does look nice.
The face changes ins X-2 look great. So do the mouth animations.

X-2 wasn't touched much. Even the textures on the characters leave much to be desired.
rofl, one of the Al Bhed on the boat at the start of the games asks if you want to re-do the Sphere Grid tutorial. Of course, he asked in Al Bhed, so I had no idea what I was saying yes to.
I also forgot that one of the ladies Tidus gives his autograph to ask if they can 'see him after the game'. The hook up that never was.

I remember X-2 looked better than X back in the day, but how is that still possible when both games have been ported and upgraded into HD?
Is it just the case that X-2's "engine" or "source code" (e.g. lighting effects, other effects) will always give it the edge over X, unless both games were entirely rebuilt?

You can enter from the Mi'hen Highroad. Just hug the left wall and avoid the summoners.
wont I die from that damage? oh and how do i get Overdrive -> AP
It was added to the International version. It's entirely superfluous, but you can get some decent things if you complete the monster tales. Some good accessories early.

I would buy X-3 if it included that. We know Squenix are desperate for money, make it happen!
The character being hit will die, yes, and won't get any AP for that attack. But if your characters have the Comrade Overdrive setting, they'll both be getting tons of AP. Alternatively, you can have Auron with Auto-Haste and another character with Auto-Phoenix, have Auron set to Stoic and your others with Comrade, hit the Don Tonberry, Auron dies, everyone gets AP, Auron is revived, and has Haste right away.
I mean, that's a more advanced setup, it'll be very touch-and-go at the beginning, but you will be getting tons of AP regardless. Your stats will skyrocket.
wow it does sound difficult, I'll keep that in mind, I'll train at the Omega ruins or a while.
If you want her to continue the theme of being the flash but make her strong as well, put her on Tidus's track. If you want her to be a fast heavy hitter put her on Wakka's grid. You can put her on Lulu's track to make a fast mage.
If you want a terrible character who sucks at life, put her on Khimari's track.

Only on the title screen and I've already gotten a nostalgia blast from the music. Goddamn was 2001 a long time ago.
Kimahri's grid would last like...four battles.
still sucks.
Title screen is ever better than you remember it too!
The remaster is missing this awful thing
Well, let's see.
- Besaid
(Dark Velefor)
(Dark Ifrit)
- Djose Highroad (should be safe if temple is avoided)
- Thunder Plains
- Macalania (all clear I'm guessing if temple avoided)
- Bikanel (clear, I'm assuming)
- Gagazet (clear?)
- Zanarkand
(full of zombies and machina; not an option?)
-
Omega Ruins (LOL nope)
Am I missing anything?
Also, if anyone can give me tips to getting No Encounter weapons, I'd loooove that.
The fiend that almost ate Tidus at the very beginning of the game can drop them - He is at the baaj temple. He doesnt drop it everytime - I had to reset it a few times to get him to drop one. Coordinates X=11-16, Y=57-63
Actually, it's 10 of Area Conquest/Species Conquest/Original. So there's some leeway.
