Yeah, save before fighting Sin then just finish the game. You can do all the sidequest stuff later. Really you are so close to the end it isn't worth doing the sidequest stuff before finishing the game.

Is there a reason to keep a save before Bevelle?

Airship access. You get it twice in the game: before Bevelle and before the final battle with Sin. It makes backtracking much, much easier. That is why I said it.
Edit: I am also saying it because I thought you could get it in Calm Lands and the Al Bhed was like "LOL NOPE".
EFF. (FFX-2 Chapter 3 spoilers):
The battle in front of the agency... the very first set of enemies is a Ahriman and an oversoul'd Chimera. I'm using my most powerful Dresspheres and I am continually getting my ass handed to me. This is bullshit. Is this only in the international edition? I don't remember this mission being so damn hard.

Why does everyone grind the normal way? Why not using Dark Ixion and all the weapon + overlimit + double/tripple AP?you can grind the board in a hour or two like this
Yes, but how do you grind for the dark aeon? I am curious. Also, do you need Yuna to do the Dark Aeon quest? I ask because I am thinking of doing it before Calm Lands.

Well at end game that's what most of us our doing. It's re-writing the board that's the most time-consuming (and filling luck spheres).
And during the game, extra sphere levels are always good to have, so I spend some extra time on the Bevelle bridge and a couple other places.
Huh, butterfly hunting? I gave up on that after the first try, it just got me my first game over screen, I was kinda pissed. Heh, at least I heard the game over music, it's pretty good!
And that as they say, is that! ~Maechen
Damn, Maechen is the biggest badass in the game! More badass than Old Snake! ^o^
This thread needs more Maechen love!

To hell with the Bevelle Temple, can anyone help me out with it's Cloister of Trials? I'm following a guide and
try to make everything right with the Destruction Sphere. I got to the Upper Floor with a Bevelle Sphere in my hand and the guide says the following: "When you get to the second floor walk up the stairs and place the Bevelle Sphere in the far wall, where there is a recess for it. The track to the treasure chest will be lit up. Then grab the chest to the right, careful you don’t go too far right, and you’ll get an HP Sphere. Underneath it you’ll find a Glyph Symbol, which you can use to bring the pedestal up to you." So the chest to the right auto-triggers when I go near it and I get a HP Sphere, is that okay or did I mess up? I'm confused o.o
EDIT: I got the Knight Lance so I suppose it went right?

My guide says this...
Take the DS and get back on the platform. Ride it off the end to start over from the beginning. Ride the path to the 2nd to last glyph and turn right again. That long stretch get to the end and then insert the DS. This will open a new path. Then put two Bevelle Spheres on the pedestal and ride the new path to get to the end.
Edit: No, that is the second item. A lance and a sphere. You did it right.

I figured since you have to use the DS to get to the end that it would not lock you out of A---a. I just forgot to go left once I finished.
On another topic,
I will say that the BradyGames guide is impressive. Sure it may be a repackage of the older guides, but it is well presented and helpful. It is nice to have a list of items that I get for stealing.
Hell fuck yeah; Maechen is god-tier.

Grinding for Power/Mana spheres is so boring. And I'm not even strong enough to kill that one monster that gives you 20 of them in the Arena.

Saw this preowned for Vita. Then saw that X-2 is download only!
Cheaper to just buy it off PSN!

It is pretty much the same price digitally and physical. The problem is the physical will probably go up in price due to S-E not producing a whole lot of them. Heck, even Fire Emblem got more shipments. So yeah, it will be cheaper digitally. Just need the space to fit the games because they are both around 7 GB of data.
It took me slightly less than two hours to get back to Besaid, collecting all Jecht spheres on the way and to get back, and I understood that except few small locations, encounters are literally two or three steps, depends on location (><)
And even if I obtained better Auron's special attacks, he still does more or less the same damage with his regular attacks, I don't understand this...

Auron's special attacks aren't for damage, they're for utility. Unless you're talking about his Overdrives, in which case I dunno what to tell you.

They usually have additional effects. His second OD kicks an enemy out of the battle (essentially instadeath on non bosses). His third OD gives the mob Full Break, which is great for bosses.
Perfect.We got Solid Wakka, now need Solid Maechen as well in this thread!
ya, I mean overdrives of course. I just used to call them special attacks, bad habit, I know. And special attacks are skills, lol.
I forgot that about added effects, but still shouldn't they do more damage than regular attacks? That seems somehow wrong.
Maechen is too awesome for this thread, as I said earlier, every game needs Maechen, every with any kind of lore at least and then we can have megathread called Maechen the great.

YES! I got 0: 0.0 in the Calm Lands chocobo race! Also, I got 5 chests and won in the Champion Chocobo race! Finally! It was annoying because prior to getting 0 in the Calm Lands one I had gotten a record of 0.2. I sat in front of my screen for two minutes just staring. I just felt dead. As for the Remiem Temple one, I had gotten 5 chests and won, but hit 2 poles and still got a trophy. I would assume they would make the trophy for 5 chests + winning + 0 poles hit, but I tried again right after and did it without hitting any poles anyway.
I tried at the lightning bolts, but got to 75 and slipped up. I might try again some other time.

For the first time in the history of my FFX playthroughs (of which have been around 7-8 of them since the game released), I beat the Luca Goers in the required Blitzball game! First try, too! xD It helps to actually pay attention to the tutorial and some of the suggestions on here helped a lot, so thanks for that whoever posted that one message about like.. passing the ball in the first half to level up a lot.
Also, I just got to the now infamous laughing scene. You know, I never hated this scene as much as others (even though it is kind of awkward). I always understood what they were going for, but yeah, still very awkward. However, this time, I actually really liked it. I thought it was kind of touching (the music helps).
I love the line
That line always made me a bit sad

It's still a bit odd, but I liked what they were trying to do.
"I want my journey to be filled with laughter."
considering what is supposed to happen to Yuna later.

Got to the Macalania Lake. There is no way I'll backtrack all the way to Beaid just to get that 1 Jecht sphere :lol. I'll deal with DValefor without Auron's last overdrive then.

Farming sphere levels on the Bevelle bridge. Poor Kimari, he gets no Spheres till the battle before Gagazet lol.
My thoughts exactly. I didn't go back either.
Just First tried Yunalesca! Hell yes!

I thought that fight was harder than Yunalesca too.
I died maybe five or six times on it, and then one-shotted Yunalesca.

Yeah definitely harder especially when you have two characters that can cast holy
Only if you're overleveled and/or know your way through the sphere grid.
Anyone else saw seymour's necklace as a zipper?
Its 2 parallel lines going down on the middle of his body, until the cg cutscene at miihen i was half expecting him to pull it down and step out of his body. <.<
Also x-2 is pretty good now that ive actually completed X before it. First time i played it i havent played x before so all the characters and places were new. No wonder i only played for 2 hours that time...
