Afaik the better your magic stat is the less you need to rotate the stick to get the counter go up.

You can miss 3-4 dresspheres if you don't follow a guide. This game is a lot of good things but it isn't kind to first players. Since usually you need 2 runs to get 100% I'd say to play the first time without guide and then do new game+ with one.
I just reached chapter

I use the D-pad to move when I'm pushing pedestals.
I did on the PS2 version as well, I never could line him up properly with the analog sticks.

You should also hold O and walk up to the pedestals. Makes it a lot easier.
Just beat Yunalesca. Barely had any trouble and I don't even know Holy yet. I don't feel like I've overleveled at all, yet none of the story bosses have any given me any issues yet. Cool story I know. It almost feels like I'm toying with them.
Sweet. Thanks!
it's actually other way around me, I read all the time that people find many tasks of FFX easier to with dpad, for me everything is worse while trying to use dpad, for example I did Remiem chocobo race with stick every time, and on PS2 and on PS3. Dpad just make things even worse.
The game gives you access to your entire party at all times, you don't really have a "main party" like in other FF games unless you're purposely challenging yourself.
This totally slipped my mind, but if you want, you can customize a weapon with Break Damage Limit, Magic +20%, Magic Booster, and One MP Cost instead of Magic +10% and it'll still do more damage than the Onion Knight.
Since spells don't get the special bonuses from Celestial Weapons, it's all about the factors and unfortunately the Onion Knight has the totally worthless Triple Overdrive on it.

I've just been doing that as well and it takes forever. I've been fighting the others and just using quick hit until they die but that flan.
I've been spending most of my time on DSII, but I've decided to play this for a bit. I forget that this was the first FF with voice acting...it shows. Also, whenever Tidus starts his narration, I keep thinking he's going to tell me about some new thickburger at Hardees.

Yuna hitting monsters (Physically) for 99999 is kinda blowing my mind right now.

*sigh* I still need to recruit another player for blitzball or I'm never playing it again...
33!? o_o I envy your riches! I may have Lv. 4 spheres, but I only about 4 or 5 so really not too many.

I'm following this guide for 100% and so far is working wonders for me. Also I recommend to start the PR campaign and marriage quests as soon as possible, there's also a fine guide for it.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
That's the most important thing, as the capture weapons will save you time later if you get and use them now.
A bit off topic:

Yeah I was following a guide (not the same one) and I just wasn't reading it carefully enough and didn't talk to Tobli before starting the mission in the Moonflow. Lame.
Listening to Maechen again, haha

Or you are Japanese, because they can do super human things in games.
Anyways, Expert grid is fun. Got Lulu's Fire - Blizzara before meeting Riku. You have to adjust for lacking stats by strategy. It is way more fun than the Standard.

I have never been able to do it, ever. Its the hardest boss in the entire game.

I'm from the UK so the Expert grid is old news to me. I actually prefer the standard, but I think that's because I'm slightly obsessive about doing things the 'way they're supposed to be done' and so the Standard fits with the characters and the natural progression of the game.... that makes me sound a little OCD... I'm not.
Quote fail??
Easily forgiven. If it were in my power, Rikku would've bashed his head in.

I regularly got at least 11. Haven't tried in a whIle and her Magic has gotten a lot stronger since. Trick is to not use your thumb and instead put the top of your palm on the right analag instead. You can rotate your hand much faster and smoother than your thumbs. Works on both Vita and PS3.

Aaron's standard path gives you power buffs, so it will help out.

Man Chocobo Racing sucked as much as I remembered. ;_;
They really should have put a braking system or had more balloons or didn't have birds that spawn at random places.
Seriously wish those birds were enemies so I could kill them.

That's exactly the technique I use
Either your Lulu has a much higher magic stat than mine, or you have a crazy hand speed.
Why do people keep calling him Aaron? Autocorrect?

Yeah, my Nexus does not like the name Auron. 😰

Ah right, I see!
I was beginning to wonder if it was another Aeris/Aerith situation.

I understand what you mean. As someone who never played the International edition, I chose the Expert Sphere Grid to see what all was changed. I'm surprised at how different it is to the Standard one. There's a bit of nonlinear aspects to it. Sometimes I can get lost trying to find the direction I should be taking Yuna to learn her White Magic for example. I run into Lulu's path quite easily as Yuna which is useful, but at the same time, I like doing things how it's supposed to be done. Sometimes I waste sphere levels backtracking after picking up a few abilities in other sections before turning where they should be going.

Dude they would put Penance to shame. Even if you Zanmatod one 1000 more would spawn instantly next to you and hit immediately.

Been doing it since just after Luca. I'd like to think it's the latter!
First I've seen this with Auron. The one that annoys me is whenever I see or hear Laura Croft instead of Lara Croft. I know it's not Autocorrect at play either
