The remaster is missing this awful thing
How was backtracking to Besaid.? I just beat

Jecht sphere
Valefor's second overdrive,
Did you got any No Encounters weapon? Or you just did it the hard way?
Well what'd you expect? Why would you grind in a Final Fantasy? They're always easy enough as it is.
Is there ever a time in any game that serious grinding doesn't make the parts after drastically worse?

Man all you guys are talking about progress and here I am playing Blitzball at the Mihen Highroad.
Poor Ronsos, 12-0 lol.

Well I was using the term 'grinding' to mean get ready for dark aeons, nemesis etc. I didnt do any grinding or extra leveling at all until I got control of the airship. It made

Well, the optional content in the game is several orders of magnitude harder than the story content, but it's true that the story content in any RPG with super bosses is going to feel like a joke once you start preparing yourself for those.
Took me like 40 mins to get to Besaid. That's just going there and not coming back. Took a bit less to get back since I had watched all the Jecht Spheres already on my way back. When you get to the beach where the operation went down it will look like the path is blocked, but it isn't. You use some boxes as stairs to go over the rubble.
Didn't have any no encounter equipment. As far as I'm aware I can't get any yet. I just ended up putting Rikku and Tidus in my main part so every time I got into a battle I made Rikku steal something if she went first and then I made Tidus use his flee ability that lets everyone escape at once.

Most people go and beat the game to see the ending before they take on the optional super-hard content anyways in RPGs.
That's usually only true if the content unlocks after the ending.

Reached Mi'hen Highway... game gets a lot better after the tournament.
Just finished that and am now at Mushroom Rock Road. I forgot that you first meet Maechen on the Mi'hen Highway, he's my favorite NPC in the game.
I think I'm enjoying this way more than even when I first played it not long after the original release came out. The laughing scene was actually really endearing. I'm liking the story a whole lot more this time around. The presentation of the game has its rough edges but it's amazing how much they got right for their first stab at a fully voice acted Final Fantasy game. also, "Meg Ryan" fits perfectly in the character allotment for Tidus' name.
fuck the blitzball trophy. Took me 2 hours to beat it, even using AI exploiting tactics. goddamned abus might be the only guy who follows you to the right corner, but I kept getting bad luck with bad passes and he'd score each time. And I swear the game cheats--there'd always be like 3 guys in Abus' circle, yet one dude actually in the "encounter" or w/e.

I am at Macalania right now before entering the temple. Can I trek back from here to Djose and pick up the Destruction sphere I missed or do I need to complete the temple first?
People, you realize the Goers match is not linked to the trophy, right? Why would you stress yourself to get the "Won a Blitzball game" trophy you can get after Luca incredibly easily by recruiting a completely new team.

Looking back on it now, it's amazing how FFX really was the last of the 'great' Final Fantasy titles. Afterwards, enormous amounts of talent began to leave Squenix, starting with Sakaguchi and Uematsu. It really was the end of an era.
no, i didn't.
but they also guilt you into wanting to win it. I didn't want to let Hawaiian Bender down ;_;

Approximately how long would you guys say it takes to get from the
battle with Sin to the ending?

1-2 hours at the most.
You have a final dungeon. If you've got no-encounter and a beefy party you could shoot through it in no time.
Started up Last Mission.
hmm.................ugh
The cutscene after passing the 10th floor is cute.
Dunno if it's enough to keep me going though.
Oops. Just read that I have to 100% FFX-2 to get the special ending for Last Mission. Guess I'll put that aside.

IIRC, you get about 4 of them during the main story before you get your "freedom"
I don't agree. Sakaguchi didn't even have that much to do with FFX, and Uematsu came back a few times. FFXI, XII and ARR were among the series' most successful titles with critics, too.
If anything, FFX was the -beginning- of an era: linear, cutscene+VO-intensive games made their debut here.

If you still have a save before Home, you can go get it, make another save, then use an al bhed compilation sphere to import it into your main save.Except XII was every bit as good, if not better

So I know this is incredibly stupid, but part of me can't help wishing there was a plot-twist way later in the game that reveals that Yuna has been the narrator throughout the game all along. Man voice and all. With zero explanation.
Yea absolutely. Squaresoft was just in a different league.

I agree, 11 and 12 were the end of that era. X was the start of the last great era.

Whoa, that didn't even cross my mind. I do have a save before it, thanks for the heads up.

He's great. Hope you're not planning on doing the reset data trick to get the Sigil though, once you get players like Nimrook you'll never wanna let them go
Oh, I meant physically scored a goal against him lol I have Jumal as my Goalie right now. He's good enough for me. Having Tidus and Wedge on offense is OP. lol Especially the Jecht Shot

Is it a trophy? I won't bother if it isn't
Nope. You get a Strength Sphere (str+4) for winning that game. That's it.
Just got Status Reels! Woot!
Meant Auroch Reels! Only need the Sigil then I'm done with Blitz!

Strength Sphere + 4 and a bonus/modified cutscene I think. I actually found the game thrilling. Was so worried they were gonna score in the last minute.

I disagree. X was considerably better than XII in many ways. XII was a huge mess and unfocused but it was still pretty good though. You could see some of the unrealized ambitions it had in the opening CG. The International version with Zodiac Job System version cleans up some of the problems with class advancement but otherwise doesn't improve the game that much. It sure would be nice if they made FFXII HD Remaster.
