nope. Only need to have the WEAPONS, never specifies upgraded. Just got Kimahri's weapon and the trophy popped. I don't have Auron's thing for the 10 Area/Species conquests...
It's been known for some time that you only need the weapons and not sigils.
Which is why the bitching about lightning/chocobos/etc has been pretty hilarious.
edit: To be fair re: Chocobo racing, Tidus is pretty baller for endgame if you're not going to Yojimbo everything.

Lightning dodging and both difficult chocobo races have Trophies DIRECTLY linked to them. (Lightning Dancer, Chocobo Rider, and Chocobo Master)

But by the time it's available you've already played minimum of 17 games. I never used Wakka in my previous playthroughs. Why play an extra 10 games for no reason? Would've saved like 2 hours. Just letting people know.
I can't get this stupid large bird to appear in Besaid so I can capture it
Oh, ooooooh!
So I'm doing right so far? With what I read earlier I though I was doing a complete botch-job with my sphere grid, haha!

So wait, I was reading the wiki and (BIG ENDING SPOILERS)
apparently Dream Zanarkand is actually a physical location within Spira? I just though Tidus came from a literal dream world, e.g. it only existed in the minds of the sleeping Fayth. But the wiki indicates that Dream Zanarkand is a physical location that's just hard to get to and Tidus washes up at that temple because its just a location near the summoned city. Is there anything in the game that talks about this, or did I just miss it on my playthroughs when I was younger?
Regardless, you'll want the Celestial Weapons as they have the unique property of ignoring enemy defense. Anyone not using one is pretty much useless when it comes to fighting the super bosses.
Your were right initially. The wiki is full of shit
I might be wrong, but the Ultimania confirms that Dream Zanarkand is beyond Baaj Temple which is why Tidus washes up there after Sin's attack. In game however I don't think it's outright stated where it is, but seeing that Tidus washes up there is a clue. I also believe Auron has a line where he says that he "rode Sin to get to your Zanarkand" which implies that it's a physical location.

Thanks, found him there!
Nah, it's not hard to win the first game (or maybe I'm just some sort of Blitzball god and I didn't know it). I ended up winning 3-0 with Keepa getting 3 saves.
It's definitely possible to beat, but if you've never had trouble with it, the RNG gods have been very kind to you.

Apparently not?
Well, the interesting thing to me is that Yu Yevon's motivation seems to make more sense if there's a physical location he's protecting since development of technology like the Airships would probably result in Dream Zanarkand being discovered at some point, but if its only in the dreams of the sleeping Fayth, I don't see how the evolution of society would matter.
Tidus's Zanarkand actually exists somewhere in Spira. The city and everyone in it are Aeons being summoned by Yu Yevon from inside Sin.

It's difficult, but not impossible. Pass the ball around to all your teammates during the first half to get their XP up and to keep the ball away from the Goers. In particular, do NOT let Abus get the ball. He has a stupidly-high Throw stat, and Keepa usually can't block his goal attempts.
During the second half, you have three minutes to score a goal with the Jecht Shot (remember that it'll also take care of up to two defenders, so you won't have to Break to them). During the final two minutes, use Wakka's Venom Shot as much as possible; it's an excellent ability that can easily get you one or two more points before the final buzzer.

I scored a couple times off of regular shots and I even missed the Jecht Shot. All you really have to do is get either Tidus or Wakka in a single break near the goal, which you can kind of manipulate by drawing them away.
But I still lost because Abus scored three goals since defense is pretty automated. I think the key is just playing keepaway as much as possible.

I was able to win on my 3rd try. Jecht shot didn't go through but I was able to score and win 1-0 with Wakka on the last second lol. I think the key is to use manual mode

Its definitely nice experiencing the game again four years later. To be honest, I definitely think that there were a lot of things that I might have been a bit too harsh about back then. I feel bad for spewing out such hate filled comments about this game for so long. I always thought that the combat was pretty good though. I guess I'm just enjoying the story a bit more this time.
My disdain for the game was sort of caused by my love for XII and the apparent war that was going on at the time between fanbases of both of those games. This just coincided with Spoony's review, which in my naivete I found to make the game objectively terrible.
I still dislike a lot of aspects about the game though. Yuna and Rikku were pretty bad characters. I dislike the structure of the world, the linearity bothers me. It has my least favorite minigames out of all of them. The lowpoint of Nomura's character designs.
Overall, I still think XII is better in absolutely every aspect, but overall, I'm enjoying it much more this time, going into it with a more open mind.

I am not feeling the X-2 music sadly. The battle music is forgettable and nothing really stands out. The battle system however...pretty fun so far.

As with KH 1.5, I'm surprised how good FFX held up. Its also because Square completely rocks when it comes to HD upgrades.
I like its battle system more than before. Because it seems you'll need all sorts of skills. Its wise to use things as NulShock quite often. It makes a lot of battles much easier. Silence and Dark Attack enemies is also useful. In most other FF I would waltz thru random mobs with just attacks and it worked out. But in FFX I feel i need to be slightly more tactical.
I somehow can't wait to start with FFX-2 though. I never hated that game. Really fun battle system but too bad the game was way too easy.
As for FFXII I hope S-E will announce it, and with that I would cheer if it hits Vita again (and if its PS4 too, I'll double dip).

I just beat the Goers at Blitzball! I'm so happy I could cry. I did it on my 2nd attempt, Wakka scored right at the end. I thought I was bound to lose because Tidus didn't level up so no Jecht Shot. Good old Wakka saved the day. I just passed, and hoped for the best. There isn't an awful lot of technigue, it's based on luck mostly. And one of the Goers is a terrible passer and kept fumbling the ball. The only tip I have is always play manual, cause on auto the players seem to swim in circles. Got myself a nice trophy.

Can any European fella send me his savegame just after Mount Gagazet?
My save file has corrupted

Even the Leblanc fight theme? COME ON!
This is crazy. I'm two leagues away from the Sigil and it's taken me far less than 7 hours without resetting the team data once.
Edit: Actually it'll probably be about 7 hours once I complete these leagues, but I'll have a really solid team by the end of it to show for it at least lol.
But... Memory of Lightwaves.

They move periodically. From my limited testing, they appear on lightning strikes and disappear after a couple of seconds. I just stood next to one I never activated and waited for lightning to move them around.

Anybody else playing with the minimap turned off? I feel like I can enjoy the game more without focusing on the map to tell me where to go all the time. And it's not like enemies show up on there like XIII.
