Well how many Sonic games had voice acting 10 years ago?
Your son is correct though, now that I think about it.

This... is quite impressive, congrats.
But yeah, the inability to pass cutscenes is a serious oversight.

You mean the Lightning costume? I think that is if you get LR. I pre-ordered HD Remaster and got no vouchers.
I assume you mean Jason Griffith. James Arnold Taylor does kind of sound like Jason now that I think about it.
Edit: Fun fact, Tidus and Ratchet have the same VA.

That was in Japan only, I think. It came with my JP version of FFX/X-2 on Vita.

It must be a Japan-only deal then for X/X-2. Answer solved!
Edit: In the US, it is LR that gets you the costume.

I have a close friend who has always refused to use strategy guides. He told me it took over 600 hours to 100% X-2 without any assistance. A lot of that was extensive trial and error, probably 3-4 late game resets, and reverse calibrating towers.
Pretty sure X-2 single handily made him quit playing video games.
Aw that sucks I was hoping for a Yuna costume for lightning.

I watched the opening video and am thinking the same thing.
That opening video is a bit of a shocker, but the game chills the fuck out pretty quickly and is probably the most underrated game in the franchise IMO.

Are you in Europe? I read that EU/JAP get the code through HD Remaster whereas US got it with LR.

Oh my goodness, who's bright idea was it to design
that way? I spent 30 minutes
only to be greeted by a boss I couldn't save before. What the hell!?
Sin's Nuceleus
walking around dodging crystal stalagmites and collecting crystal orb things while the camera spins so damn slowly
Ah, yes, I am in Europe.

Oh. That's.....strange. Would've been a great tie-in for XIII players to get into X.
Much respect, upstreamer.

Double post. Sry.
Keep playing, be strong whenever Brother shows up and you'll fine a damn good jrpg.

Over a decade after the game's release, I wonder how many people still don't know that the person singing in that video isn't actually Yuna. (Or that the rest of the game is so much better than the opening movie.)
Got to the Calm Lands last night and settled in for some side quests. Got through all the chocobo training and actually felt like playing the race for a while. And magically, I managed to get the Sun Sigil. One less thing to worry about later!
Now, the lightning dodging is another story. I still haven't broken double digits on that damned thing.

It's really really hard to go back to spammy ATB after the bliss of X's awesome battle system, but otherwise X-2 seems pretty fun so far. I suppose I should just level up dresspheres that feel right to me, or is there something I absolutely should know when building characters (like, white/black mage are probably pretty darn useful)? I don't care about 100%.
It's like the secret hidden in plain sight: FFX-2 has some of the best gameplay in the history of FF, but the J-pop and silliness turns so many away before they discover that fact.
I'm happy to see I'm not the only one not a fan of ATB.
Kinda makes me reluctant to play some older FFs I haven't played yet.
To a (far) lesser extend, the same thing happens with FF13&sequels.
The battle gameplay is actually pretty good.

Just finished the game. I started crying, I don't know why, but something really made me cry like a little girl.
I've seen the ending a dozen times now but I've never felt like crying before. What a game, damn.
I don't even know what to say. Truly amazing, that ending wow.
I feel like I should platinum this game even though I don't really have the time or the urge to do it, but I feel like I owe it to the game. It's kinda hard to explain, really, but if someone'd see my Trophies and it's not 100%... I don't know. It's really weird!
Anyways, I'll atleast do the Omega Ruins and Tidus' and Rikkus' Celestials. Might even try X-2, I'll see, just felt like sharing this with someone, haha.

I'm definitely not too much of a fan of ATB either, however, X-2 is the best implementation of it and with the job system - I do enjoy the battle system here.

The key to that area is to just keep still. Move only when you see a light forming underneath you, or when there's an item crystal nearby (don't try for something that's too far away, because the items disappear very quickly). That's really all there is to it.
Also, there's a very good reason there aren't any save spheres after the Point of No Return.
Didn't get very far into the game (FFV), but isn't FFX-2 gameplay a carbon copy of FFV's ?
Anyway yeah, I'm actually surprised to see I'm looking forward to be done with FFX's platinum to be able to play FFX-2.
Yea generally just get whatever you want, you can easily max out 3 dresspheres/character without grinding.
However some are broken, like Psychic.
It has fire/water/lightning/ice/gravity absorb, can stop time for 10 seconds, can teleport behind enemies for double damage and can make itseld invincibly against magic/phys or both. Give it ribbon and use white magic with it and you will never die, ever.
Not quite but certainly similar. Changing jobs mid battle with the garment grids is probably the most significant difference: you don't just set up a class combo to approach each battle, you can mix things up as you go. There's also an element of timing involved with several skills where you can affect the enemy's ATB gauge to a more significant effect than you could in FFV, a tad Grandia-esqe. It's also a bit faster too.
Yeah, thank god for that.

There were a couple parts where I just lost it the first time. I'm curious if it'll happen again.
Specifically
Tidas' ghost hug/leap into Jecht high Five. Yuna whistling at the dock, and her ending speech. The whistling was the worst. My dad showed my brother and I how to whistle like that if we ever got lost and seeing it used for the same effect just crushed me.
The feels, there are many.

I came to appreciate FF13's combat quite a lot despite its ATB-ness. Paradigm shifting kept me engaged without having to juggle three characters individually, and without going to the extremes of XII's code-your-own-AI-and-press-X combat.
I had finished it before, I knew exactly what would happen and I still had to wipe my eyes a few times. It's a really well executed story.

I completely agree.
I don't give a shit about trophies.Never got a platinum actually because I think trophies are tedious.
But this time I feel a strong urge to do it in this particular game.
Yep. It took a while until I finally realized that there is absolutely no need to hold up on the d pad at all, or to hold left/right very hard.

Oh shit. I'm trying to do Lightning Dancer right now and using that trick at the crater where lightning always strikes. I'm at 140 and now lightning isn't striking there consistently anymore...I'm scared
edit: n/m got it to work. Think I was starting to drift a bit too far back each time.

Do you not have a master sphere or two to check? If it's grayed out the grid is clear for that character.
Totally, yes. And no Magic grinding either which is almost (not quite) as bad. See here
Attack Reels spam is the answer to everything - It's the highest damage single ability in the game which really cuts down on battles where everything is followed by a counter which slogs up each battle. It should get faster and faster with each power sphere you get, too.
edit: If it's an issue of not getting enough turns between him to make it efficient, try Fenrir grinding a little first for Agi. That's a much higher efficiency return per stat than STR and caps at 170
Oh God, can't unhear.

Actually that's exactly what I was doing and it took 25-30 minutes. Doesn't matter if that's the point of no return, it's a major waste of time and poorly designed, it shouldn't really be there in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I really like FFX a lot! It's very enjoyable, but the design choice here is unbelievable.

tl;dr
edit: That's odd, Standard Sphere (no clear) is not stating how many AGI spheres to farm. Wonder if that's an oversight.
edit2: You don't need evasion in International/HD
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Finally dodged 200 lightning.I have never done it....Ever...Even did it up to 243 consecutive due to how paranoid I was.
Guys are there trophies for the chocobo game and butterflies as well ?
This is grueling lol
EDIT : JUST REALIZED THE TROPHY IS JUST BRONZE FFS SE...WOW

At least you got that one out of the way, that's my last annoying celestial I need to get.
but yea, chocobo racing and blitzball have trophies, butterflies dont.

A part of me hates that I had to look up how to get most of the celestial weapons and mirror but there's no way in the world I would have known to do any of it otherwise...

So true, also:
Thread title and flash back to all the things Tidus and Yuna had lived through together then fade to Suteki Da Ne Orchestral. Wow
Yeah, well executed and still complex without feeling convoluted, really hard to pull of imo.
Damn it feels good that someone feels the same way, it's kinda weird to reationalize y'know?I completely agree.

But this time I feel a strong urge to do it in this particular game.
Is there auto enough for Evasion, Accuracy and Agility? Would certainly save a lot of time! On second thought I guess Accuracy isn't that important with Overdrives
Now time for the moment I was dreading. Getting 10 of every monster. Never managed it on PS2, but here goes!
I just realised that whilst attempting to catch all the butterflies. Don't even use Kimahri so it won't be a huge loss
.Luck makes Eva/Accuracy redundant. Not sure about Agility because I used Expert Sphere Grid and didn't really follow this guide anyway - I farmed more than I needed and plopped them down all in one area for convenience rather than gallivanting all over the sphere grid to activate -everything- (you need to go through it anyway to plant all your spheres down so it's a waste of time) and didn't bother with Magic or HP.
