Same exact thing happened to me. Really infuriating

If you're referring to the thing where the spear would disappear if you opened a few arbitrary chests: that was a bug, fixed in the International version. That's the good news. Bad news: the chest which contained the spear at the Necrohol of Nabudis was also taken out. The only way to get the spear in IZJS is by opening the ultra-rare chest in the Henne Mines.
Fortunately, however, the "random" number generator in FFXII isn't quite as random as Square would have people think...
If Only I read this earlier. I'm off to the sleep.
I'll go back eventually. I'll have to watch Doctor Who during it or something. I'm not so strong as to go through that twice.
A bug?
Or rather, I don't believe your source. Unless you have a link? =).
Oh god no !! Not RNG manipulation !! That's literally my most hated video game thing ever. Just something about the core concept and exactitude of it all just gets to me. I don't understand how or why people in Pokémon do it either. I hope in the Remaster they shuffle the numbers around. I know they'll cause hell for years to come, but fuck it. It'd rather flail around aimlessly for hundreds of hours than RNG Manipulation.
Also, FFXII had Monster Hunts where the monster only shows up during an unspecified time at an unspecified place. And the whole random chest system is fucked anyway. I remember doubling back in massive dungeon for a Blood Sword that had a 30% chance of spawning. Took me a whole day or so. I never even finished the game because I was stuck to an Internet guide the entire time trying to maximize effectiveness.
Well fuck we haven't played in a while. You up for a few games tomorrow? We can discuss FFX while we talk
Same shit happened to me, except only an hour lost in my case. It still hurt. I don't blame you.

Same. Mix combines my dislike of trial-and-error guesses plus the use of rarer materials. Did anyone hoooonestly try getting all combinations without any reference?
They have a PDF with all the possible combinations on the games old EU site and it's been up there for over ten years.
I don't think they expect reasonable e people to actually try to find every combo themselves.
You could get lucky and have a weapon drop from Ultima Buster that has Triple OD/OD->AP/Triple AP.
Other than that, you can get a Triple AP weapon from One-Eye, get 30x Winning Formulas by Bribing a Sandworm for 900,000 (TWICE for 15x each), and get 10x Doors to Tomorrow by Bribing a Mech Leader for 74,000 (5 TIMES, for 2x each).
You can also steal Doors to Tomorrow from Ultima Weapon if you haven't killed him yet. You steal 10x each time.
Thanks I will bribe a Sandworm, I got a ton of money by farming One-eye.
There are plenty but they get pretty high up on the price range. Yamaha makes some awesome stuff with weighted keys.

Anyone have a guide for who I need to recruit for Blitzball? I just want to get the reels and sigil. Not looking for level 99 teammates.
There's not just the touch, but also the sound you get in response. Even high end speakers will have a hard time to give the same feeling to the player as a grand piano. Or then they're pretty expensive and bulky, so no real advantage over a "real" piano.
Concerning the touch, I have a rather cheap Kawai, it's already pretty good.
But all that's pretty off-topic.
Brother, and Tidus with Jecht Shot.
And Brother.
If you want to play it safe, you could take Ropp and Wedge for defense (the latter being a good forward for a few levels), but that's really not necessary.
Edit: how to play it: Brother as midfielder, Tidus/Wedge as forward.
Have Brother get the ball, swim in circles to get all/the majority of the other team behind him, outswimm them, pass to a forward -> goal. After you score, either repeat all that, or just go hide behind your Goalie.
Only teams that could be hard: Al Bheds because of based Nimrock, Guados because of their speed.
Go to Luca Seaport, Square, and recruit Jumal for your goalie. [At least early BB levels] he's a free agent second only to Nimrook (who is contracted to Al Bhed Psyches for 24 games, and thus a pain to wait out). I recommend picking him up just to ensure you aren't scored on if the enemy team gets the ball and the game's RNG doesn't give you a chance to stop them.
Then just recruit Wakka and Brother, get a goal, and use glitch tactics for easy win.
Well, my point of contention here is that in the end when you mic up a grand, the end result coming out of a pair of speakers after the music has been produced/mixed/etc is pretty much the same, and at that point the only thing that matters is how the instrument responds to the performer (weighted keys, etc)
You could make the argument that a player 'feels' better playing a grand and thus would give a better performance but from experience I've found this is rarely the case in practical situations, as professionals are professionals. (unless you're hiring some really special sensitive snowflake or something)
Of course, a real grand gives you a lot more options for actually getting different sounds out of different mic techniques, not to mention if you have a beautiful room to record it in putting a few mics in the far corners flat out beats impulse responses.
That was my point.
But well, I'm far from a proffessional lol.
The feeling you get playing a grand piano vs. a good electrical one just always shocks me. But you're right, I guess for a proffessionnal, it shouldn't make a noticeable difference.
Yep. You can bribe Master Tonberry, but it's expensive.
You can also win 30 by winning the Remiem Temple Race with 4 chests.

Is that repeatable?

I noticed some people saying that you can "farm" Dark Yojimbo. How do you keep him around to where he's farmable?
In order to defeat DY, you need to beat him five consecutive times without leaving the Cavern, or reloading a save.
So beat him 3-4 times (saving each time just to be safe), then after the fourth, reload.
Save/Reload resets the fights.

You need to Kill Dark Yojimbo 5 times in a row to permanently finish him off.
Basically as long as you don't kill him the 5th time you can just leave the cave and the whole event sequence starts all over again with the Summoner in the back of the cave the next time you visit.

Ohhhh I see. So he pops up 5 times when you try to walk out of the cavern? I noticed he came up when I tried to leave, but I was near the teleporter so I just took that and bounced haha.
So I'm pretty sure I got the Jecht Shot (I recieved the Striker trophy) and now I'm doing the first championship game against Luca Goers and Tidus doesn't have it equipped. I just finished the half and at the setting player tech screen and it doesn't show the jecht shot..
Am I missing something? Can he not use it for this first game or something?

Tidus needs to be Level 3 in order to use it. You can only add it after the first half, but he needs to earn some XP in the first half to level up.

You have to be level 3 to equip abilities. Tidus starts at level 2. So just pass the ball around for the first half of the match. Hopefully he levels at half-time and you can use it in the second half.
you don't need even save/reload, it takes really long in this version in FFX. I was just using teleport, killing him, teleporting back to cave entrance, leaving and entering again, this resets all thing too. The problem with this method that initial animation of Y appearing is rather long too...
Yeah, every time you beat him, the summoner runs away and you can give chase.
You have access to the save point within the cavern after you beat the first one (since every battle gets closer and close to the cavern's entrance).
Edit: And as Arthea stated, the best method is to outright leave the cavern and re-enter, as opposed to reloading.

Err, with the Jecht Shot you don't need to break unless there is 3 defenders on top of you.
Jecht Shot has a nifty aspect of completely ignoring any two defenders blocking your shot, it's that broken.
Which is why many recommend using it against the Goers because of it completely nullifies two blocking defenders.
Lol damn. Wish I knew that
Still won so not terribly upset about it. But good to know. Thanks

Hey, I could use your help. You seem to be pretty far along in FFX-2
My current party of YRP are all level 81, I've just reached floor 61 of the Via Infinito
The only Mega Tonberry I ever beaten was an Oversouled one in the Fiend Arena, I am having trouble beating them in the VI. What is your recommended strategy in getting rid of them.
I have most of the accessories and garment grids so I should be able to utilize any strategy you recommend.
I could probably use my monster team too. I'm trying a minimalistic approach without wasting a bunch of items like I did with some of the Fiend Arena bosses but it's not working.

Yeah, you pretty much only have time to use the Jecht Shot once, due to the fact it takes away about 70-80% of Tidus's HP to use. Tidus should also be fairly close to the goal as well. Enemy defenders don't matter too much, as Jecht Shot will automatically take care of up to two of them, but the ball's accuracy needs to be fairly high to get past Raudy.
In my opinion, Wakka's Venom Shot is a far better ability; it doesn't take much HP, and its +3 SH compliments Wakka's already-high shot stat. Getting the ball to him and shooting as much as possible is the key to winning that first game.

Avoid them lol You NEVER have to fight a Mega Tonberry in the Via Infinito

Nevermind. I forgot to have my high DEF accessories equipped.
I keep forgetting Mega Tonberry has 255 STR and his Chef's Knife does 16,000 damage without protect and high def.
Mascot took care of it.
Edit: Well I didn't know you could walk around them. Well on one floor one of them was blocking a switch I needed to press to make a platform move for me to progress. I suppose it was just a stroke of bad luck.

There's no way to check what an ability does. You have to use the Internet for that. It sucks, I know.
Weapons only have abilities, so which weapon is better depends on the set of abilities you need.
oh wow, I didn't remember this at all. (played the game years ago)
yeah, this sucks.
