Yes. Holding L1, L2, R1 and R2 improves steering. Nobody knows why, but it does.
You can hit the poles for the trophy. Doing so will improve your corners.

Oh, never mind. I was thinking Vita and forgot about the PS3 version. Regardless, there is no L2/R2 on Vita if that's what he's playing.

Get the bevelle one on a different save, then import it using one of the various al bhed spheres in the world.
Disclaimer: haven't tried this but i don't see why it wouldn't work.

Is Attack Reels REQUIRED to kill Neslug?

No, he's just really annoying without it. I kept using Doublecast -> Ultima (or maybe Doublecast -> Holy) with every character on every turn. As long as you can do, on average, more damage than he regens every turn, eventually you'll break his shell, it will just take a while. Doublecast is important though because you want to maximize YourDamage - HisRegen. So Doublecast really makes a huge difference.
I think I killed him by doing exactly 20 Quick Hits of 99,999 (just before he hunkers down), and then having Anima send him to Bolivia. Er, Oblivion. That did enough damage to destroy his shell without him ever getting the chance to hide in it. After that, you can do the last million or so points of damage however you want.

Could you rewrite armor slots? Auto Haste/Auto Protect Seem to be most common amongst them all. Seem like that would save time and money bribing for Chocobo Wings.
That would be quite the feat, as double cast only works on Black Magic.
He doesn't have a previous save...
So well, unless starting over...
Nope, you'll have to bribe/farm gil if you want to do it like this.
Not even that is necessary, actually. It surely helps, but not necessary.
True, especially the Auto-Haste, though Auto-Phoenix is too good (and easy to get) to pass up IMO.

Then it must have been Ultima
Well, yea that's what I meant. Starting over. It probably wouldn't take too long to get back to Bevelle if you just rush through everything.

Yes
It certainly is lol.

Listening to the OST, I really feel it's one of the greatest of all time. The two themes of Suteki Da Ne and Zanarkand present in most songs is damn amazing and truly beautiful.
Uematsu can really do it all.

Ah thank you man, I followed your advice and have got weapons for Lulu, Auron and Wakka, so I'm just going to concentrate on leveling them up a bit first.
Is it right that I need auto-phoenix armour for the Don Tonberry trick aswell?
You don't need it, since he doesn't even attack (except with Karma) until he's right in front of you, and you then want to flee, anyway. But it doesn't hurt to have it on someone. Speeds things up a tiny bit.

It just makes it faster and more efficient. Yep.
I can't get Anima because Dark fucking Shiva doesn't let me enter the temple. (need to get the treasure there etc.) I bet there is no easy way here and I 'just' have to grind for like 100 hours in order to beat her and get the treasure, right?
oh, yeah, also Dark Valefor is blocking another path and I can't get that Jecht sphere.
WHY whould they do this. fuck this shit, jesus.

Use Distillers then kill Kottos in Monster Arena. 40 per kill. It'll be very rough early on though. If you can make Auron survive with Protect, Sentinel and 5 Cheers you can do it but it'll take a while. You're better off just capturing monsters. They'll give 2 per kill and you make progress with Monster Arena as well.
uhm, I could get him, sure.
how much money do I need to kill a dark aeon? I feel like I need a lot.
The higher his affection is the higher the chances are he'll perform Zanmato. Overall - it's random whether he does it or not. You'll just have to keep reloading if it doesn't work.
Just know that it's a ton easier now than in the original NA version. I never had to independently grind out his affection. Just fill his overdrive and give him ~30000 gil (iirc) and reload a few times.
I saw Zamato maybe 3 times in 3 playthroughs when I was younger. 5 or 6 times in the rerelease. It's pretty darn 'reliable'

Am I going to get stuck if I play FFX-2 without a guide?
You won't get "stuck," but you may miss out on some things.
He does that sometimes if your affection is high enough. Nothing you can do about that but reload or hope he uses Zanmato.
you mean if my affection isn't high enough?
He's not using Zanmato, tried like 6 times already. (btw, never used him before) I read that to get some affection I should use him in some battles, pay him 1000+ gil and then try again for the Dark Aeon.
could this work?
edit: nvm lol, he just did it with 30k. I used to pay him around 100k.

If he likes you he'll use a free attack sometimes. Which is annoying if you want him to just zanmoto.
I beefed him up by fighting shitty enemies from besaid and paying him 1024 gil each time. He'll use waki or zanmoto, both of which will improve your affinity with him. I think I grinded with him for about 30 minutes, then it only took one or two tries to zanmoto dark valefor.
Check a gamefaqs guide if you want the specifics as to how the affinity system works (or whatever they call it).

Welcome to every Final Fantasy game ever. For an even more grotesque example, see the ultimate weapons in FF12.

Random question because now I'm getting pissed, lol.
I've almost captured 10 of every enemy (damn Omega Ruins) and I want to start getting the Ultimate Weapons. I have the Cloudy mirror, but I do not get any opportunity to find the kid, and turn it into the Celestial Mirror.... I erad all the online guides am I usign the wrong walkway? (I'm using the one on the left from where the parents are, or is the game just glitched to not have me fidn the kid wven though he is not there with his parents and I already found the father?

ugghh, I'm gettign dizzy going back and forth but it finally worked, THANK YOU! The guides don;t tell you that for some reason
Pay him 16384 or 32768 at the high end. Anything more is a waste.
Even if you're not trying to get him to zanmato, you should pay him in powers of 2 with 1024 as a minimum.
Do the distill you want and summon the Magus Sisters.
