You gain the bonus by activating a node. Moving is purely to give you access to more nodes, the bonus is yours the moment you use a Sphere to activate a node.

That helps a lot, thank you

 

[ramyeon]

I just made the mistake of listening to FFX Will (The Audio Drama). This shit is terrible, what the hell?

 

[Ourobolus]

Okay, that's how I've been doing it; moving one node, activating a power/mana sphere and then moving on that node.

Thanks Ouro!

EDIT - Saw your edit: My ultimate question was, if I have 2 nodes activated with power sphere and then I decide to move across 3 nodes passing those 2 I just activated, will I gain bonuses from both because they were in my path? Or do I need to go one node a time?

Oh, I see. Yeah, what WhirlwindMonk said.

 

[Shahadan]

So I beat the 0.00 chocobo race and made the mistake to click on "return to airship" now I have to do it again. Fuck you Square for your annoying broken minigames and stupid designs.

Why do you have to do it again because of that?

Edit: If it's to get the guy guarding Tidus' weapon to move, you don't need to get 0.00 again. You just need to beat her with any time.

 

[clem84]

The blu ray disk with the OST on it, does anyone know if it's a PS3 disk, or if it's a blu ray disk that will play in any blu ray player?

edit: forgot to mention it's the blu ray disk that came with the collector's edition.

 

[Shahadan]

For the guy guarding Tidus's weapon to move.
I just remembered I just have to beat the trainer's time, so it's ok, but still >(

Capturing enemies gets you rewards and unlocks super-enemies at the Monster Arena in the Calm Lands.

Does the monster arena give you exp/ap and spheres and what not?

 

[Ourobolus]

Does the monster arena give you exp/ap and spheres and what not?

Yes indeed.

 

[Manu]

Evrae down. Aw yiss. I just had Rikku mix Mighty G when it cast Haste it himself and it was a cakewalk from there.

 

[ubercheez]

Damn you guys are already at Omega Ruins and grinding out Monster Arena? I feel so slow just now getting to Macalania.... Frekin Dark Souls 2!

I'm still at the Mi'ihen Highroad, and I don't even have a second game to blame.

 

[Aurizen]

damn! worse thing is that you have to beat that score too.

 

[Sulla1980]

Taking my time with this game, and just put down the Luca Goers 3 - 1.

Playing on the Vita, loving all of the added details that the HD version adds.

 

[Roto13]

The controls are really not conducive to things like the Remiem Temple chocobo trial, or collecting butterflies.

 

[Falk]

I am having SUCH a hard time dodging lightning on the vita. I can barely get a streak going, and I am in a good dodging spot. Is it input lag? Do I have the reactions of a sloth? Anyone have some tips?

For what it's worth some guys I know who have both versions are saying Tidus' Overdrive is much harder to time on Vita than on PS3. Might be input lag across the board, or that shit's programmed differently.

Considering how short the window is for lightning dodges, input lag and/or display latency are significant factors.

 

[Freaky Fred]

Thread needs more Wakka pics, ya?

It's not. It's actually really lenient about it for dodging lightning. You can even press X slightly before the flash and still dodge it. As long as you hit it when you see the flash it's fine, there's no apparent input lag.

 

[Neolith]

Should I start those celestial weapon side quests as soon as possible or is it easier to do them late game, I don't remember a goddamn thing about this game and never tried getting the weapons before

 

[dan2026]

Why was Final Fantasy so good in the PS2 generation and so shit in the PS3 generation?

Will the PS4 generation redeem it?

 

[Aurizen]

dodged 74 of them and then got struck by lightning

Ff14 is a great game. Also the 13 series was bad because the characters and world were bland and unlovable.

For some of them, you'll have to wait until you get the air ship.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Ff14 is a great game. Also the 13 series was bad because the characters and world were bland and unlovable.

They were the worst of the worst anime trope-y characters. Except for Sazh, but he had a chocobo in his hair so that was the undoing of him.

 

[XJF]

Alright! I've captured 10 of every monster up through the Calm Lands... Those Ogre's have a TERRIBLE Spawn rate. geez

 

[MSMrRound]

Say what? I probably bumped into 10 packs of them and not a anacondaur in sight...Northwest area right? Or is it some other spot?

I was in the northwest by where the primer was. I had Chimera and Anacondour aplenty, but VERY few Ogres. lol

 

[Roto13]

I thought they would fix the emotiveness of the eyes before release, but they never did. :/ This scene is terrible in the HD version. (Late game spoilers.)

Yeah, it really is a shame. It's the stupid eyes... they changed them for the worse. :/

 

[Jacobbles]

Kind of getting the hang of Blitzball now. Got Wakka's Attack Reels and his ultimate weapon, so that's a start.. but it looks like I'll have to play LOADS more to get his other Overdrives and the Sigil D:

23-25 more games! Do eet.

Just wait until you have to start catching tonberries. It feels like they spawn once a week

 

[XJF]

Because the League ones are based off points, I was able to forfeit my last 3 games in both of them and still win. Saved at least an hour total.

Already got my 10 from the Cavern of the SF. Got them in about a half hour a couple days back. Master Tonberries in the Omega Ruins are a different story lol

 

[Joqu]

Oh man... I finally managed to win that first Blitzball match. The reward wasn't anything special but it was totally worth it. It's my pride man. Still, that took me waaaaay too many tries, I think I spent over four hours on that stupid part.

I lost mine and would have retried for the reward and bragging rights, but man I did not want to deal with all those unskippable cutscenes. I've slaughtered the Goers several times since then and have exacted my revenge.

Those unskippable cutscenes were the worst. I usually don't mind dealing with cutscenes as I'd never skip regular ones anyway but seeing the same ones over and over again was torture. They weren't even that good. D:

The nice thing I'm finding is that the +4 strength sphere makes for a serious damage buff that early in the game. Don't sit on it for later, just pop that sucker down on the nearest open node for Tidus and he'll be your best DPS.

Will do. This is my first proper playthrough of X (I've owned the PAL PS2 version for a loooong time now but that shit was way too slow for me) and I accidentally used one of those before somehow (I think it was one of the HP spheres?). Since then I've been sitting on them but I guess I shouldn't be doing that yeah?

 

[MetalGearOnlineK]

Just beat

Spoiler

Seymour

on Gagazet. Wasn't bad really! Super Mighty G (I mixed two Lunar Curtains) is so useful.

 

[Mendax]

nah no point really, on the expert grid everyone can move there pretty quickly and on the standard grid the other chars can easily get there later on when you have friend spheres and teleport spheres

Yeah, I used to try to save them for the perfect spot where multiple characters could easily get them, but later in the game grid traversal becomes much easier. Just use them now for whichever character gets the best benefit.

Does anyone actually use Caladbolg? I'm probably going to make Tidus another BDL weapon, essentially the same as Caladbolg but replace Magic Counter with One Mp Cost so I can abuse Quick Hit. Thoughts?

I like this idea and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. And by that I mean copy your idea.

All the Celestial weapons are the best for 2 unique qualities that no other weapons have.

1. They Ignore defense
2. They do more damage if the wielder has max HP (Tidus, Auron, Wakka, Kimahri, Rikku) or MP (Yuna and Lulu)

You'd be losing out on a lot of damage to save some mp.

Small correction, Auron's Masamune deals more damage the lower Auron's HP is.

But yeah, I'm all about Celestial weapons.

 

[MSMrRound]

OH YEAH! SUN SIGIL GET! Was only on my third race too. I was worried about getting this since I was stuck with the third training exercise for a while...

Hmm I did not know that. I guess that makes sense since he's the tank for a good portion of the game before everyone becomes everything.

But Magic Counter is such a Waaaaaaaaste. I wish you could customize the CW.

 

[Shahed]

Okay I abandoned the idea of doing 200 Lightning dodges first time around. It takes too long in an area with no battles. I'll just come back later with an Enc None weapon

 

[Gaz_RB]

Man as much as want to hate Tidus... I love him.

 

[Holmes]

Alright! I've captured 10 of every monster up through the Calm Lands... Those Ogre's have a TERRIBLE Spawn rate. geez

I finished up to the Cave of Stolen Fayth this morning. Good luck with Tonberries and Ghosts.
