Does the fact that he's on loner affect the damage he causes?

Does the fact that he's on loner affect the damage he causes?
It is done! Take that game I dumbly passed on giving a chance 12+ years ago!
I totally didn't almost throw my controller in despair after finding out there were still more boss fights after Jecht...
Gotcha! All my character were well beyond those points even before my final grinding session. Sooo what was I doing wrong? Just having poor strategies I guess.
Power Break saved the day. Before I was being dumb and using Armor Break so other characters could do damage but of course then they'd get clobbered so it really wasn't worth it! Thanks! I ended up just ignoring the stupid pagodas altogether and just damage racing the boss.
Through all my grinding (+20~ levels for everyone) I kinda forgot getting aeon overdrives and even using them ont he first form. Not forgetting would've surely made things alot less hellish >_<; But thanks to that grinding I had worked my way back up to nearly 200k gil which was luckily more then enough ta get your second tip to work! ...After remembering about it after another ultra long battle in which I widdled the bosses hp down to 50k before suddenly asking myself wtf am I doing?
If you cheese the blind spot you shouldn't have to run it more than 2-3 times to max it out.
At first I left too little time to come back to the bad guy five times in the row, now I'm aware that couple of seconds is not enough or even 10, but I was already bored by it out of my mind then. (><)
And I'm not sure it's possible to do in 2 times, is it? 3 maybe, without doing any stupid mistakes as being attacked, but 2 seems unlikely.

Loner + Triple Overdrive = Full OD gauge every 3 turns.
Greater Sphere takes a bit more time to kill. Once I had enough luck to get mostly crits on Slice n Dice, I could kill him in 5-6 overdrives. It should be faster with Attack Reels.

At the final boss sequence, where's a good place to grind ? I new to fill up grids, abd get abilities like holy and double cast. This is X I mean. Thanks in advance.
Inside Sin or Omega Ruins.

Got the Jupiter Sigil at last. Blitzball was almost fun once I knew what I was doing, playing in my commute with my iPod on made it bearable, by the end of the last league I was winning games 10-0.
Now just need to do butterfly catching and chocobo race which I am absolutely dreading, my best time so far has been 24 seconds.

Reposting from earlier:
a. read this post http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/19734...asy-x/51372846
b. turn the sound off. For me, detaching myself from what was going on and listening to music helped with the frustrating a lot. This way, you can't hear if the trainer gets a balloon instead of you, and you can't hear the annoying sound when the bird whacks you.
Seriously though, this will help you out a ton. And this is coming from someone who thought I wasn't going to be able to do it.

Did anyone else find the lightning dodging a lot tougher than it used to be?

I tried Omega ruins and barely got much progress on grid. And I barely survive past the Sin fins.
Your only other option is to do the Cactuar mini-game on Bikanel island and fight Cactuars afterwards.
Maybe not, since you'd only be able to get to level 4 or so on the first run. I know I did it in 3, though.
So, I'm just past Calm Lands and I realized that I know next to nothing about the weapons and armor in this game. I know that you can customize your own armor, but I don't know the ins and outs.
Would it be possible for me to get some empty 4 slot armor and the ingredients I need to make them auto haste and everything? I'm still wearing pretty basic stuff and my inventory is full since I'm not sure what I need to sell and keep.
Basically I need a guide on how to get started.

I wouldn't really worry about getting heavily into customizing until you're wanting to tackle the optional super bosses.
As for empty four-slot armor, you can buy them from a vendor in Macalania after you
receive the Airship
talk to Wantz before the boss fight on Mt.Gagazet

Don't worry about it too much yet. You'll generally keep finding/buying better stuff that you can customize for the moment; you'll be able to start unlocking ultimate weapons before terribly long, too. It's nice to occasionally stick First Strike or Counterattack onto some other stuff, of course (which is handy for Capture weapons, for example) using your basic friend/return spheres and so on.
Off topic, but man, I wish Rikku's ultimate weapon had Alchemy instead of Gillionaire on it.
Is there anyway of seeing what Al Bhed Primers you have? I accidently messed up the compliation sphere thing early on, I didn't know what it meant so I saved from that and loaded it I believe, then kept moving on. Now I'm in post-game and I'm looking through all the primer's and I'm pretty sure I got all the "Home" ones but it still hasn't given me the trophy.
I want to see which one I don't have, if its one from Home - I'm fucked

Go to items -> key items -> scroll all the way down.
Fuuuuck. It's XXI, I swear I thought I had that.
Well there goes my platinum, maybe I'll restart after a year or so
Dammit, thanks for the answer though

Rikku's is so awful.
All of the Double AP ones are bummers compared to Tidus/Lulu/Auron's, but hers is even worse.
I wish I could just copy and paste Caladbolg onto every character.

Eh, I'd want them to feel unique (and Onion Knight is even better than Caladbolg, IMO). The Celestial Weapons are the only real differentiator between the late-game characters outside of Yuna's Summon command, Wakka's long-range attacks, and the assorted Overdrives (only a few of which are useful in the late game anyway).
Wait I'm reading that you can transfer Al Bhed saves over via compilation sphere? How does this thing exactly work?
Will I be able to quickly start a new game and rush until Home and grab the missing Primer, save it on the compilation thing and load it on my other game save of 60+ Hours and be able to get the trophy?

I appreciate the uniqueness, but the battle system falsl apart too much post-game for weapon factors to really prevent the entire party from playing the same.
Lulu's is good more on paper than in practice honestly. It doesn't have the wasted factors on AP or Gil like other characters, but Triple Overdrive is pretty much just as useless on her. It really doesn't do anything for her besides give her the niche of the strongest Curaga. If you want to use offensive magic, you can Customize better.
I'd probably consider anything with a counter attack factor better, personally.
Yes.
Yeah. Pretty much all of the sidequests really open up once you get the Airship soon. You can't really miss them.

Can someone tell me where in the timeline does the audio drama after Eternal Calm takes place?
I ask cuz they talk about
in Bevelle, but also say it's three years after X, but X-2 is supposed to be 2 years later. Did the audio drama SE put in X spoil X-2?

Tidus
Well yeah it takes place after X-2. It actually takes place after a novella that takes place more immediately after X-2.
I don't think it's really fair to say it spoils X-2. It just happens to take place after it.
Eternal Calm takes place 2 years after FFX, with FFX-2 following directly after. It's the prologue.
EDIT: Never mind, misread.

I feel like I may be fundamentally misunderstanding something. The audio drama takes place last. It's listed with the collection credits.
I don't see it as a spoiler. It builds on what happens in X-2 because it takes place after. (Well, actually, the novella, but oddly enough it doesn't spoil that.) Just as I wouldn't say The Two Towers spoils Fellowship. It's more the use of the word 'spoil' that I'm getting hung up on. Does it assume you know what happened previously? Yes, of course.
(Using LotR just a random example, I don't mean to otherwise compare them).
I just don't see taking a later part of a continuing story thread, be it a sequel or an audiobook, as spoiling what came before it.

Well seeing as the audio drama is in the menu for X right after eternal calm, it does spoil X-2. They should've put it in the X-2 menu instead.
I'm playing on Vita so maybe it looks different on PS3.
Oh. This might be my hangup. I played on PS3 and it looks like this:
My apologies!
Yeah, if they include it with vita FFX and not vita FFX2 then yeah, that absolutely is a bit weird :/

Also BTW my personal opinion not one remixed track sounds horrible they are all amazing and date I say much better than the originals esp the battle theme
Some sound worse to me, I must say I prefer originals. Not that new are horrible, no, just I liked old better.

What are the chances I'll be able to get this for $19-29 on Vita before it becomes difficult to find?
It'd been long enough since I played that only the Besaid theme stuck out as being vastly different to me.
Got the no encounter weapon and I'm ready to try dodging 200 lightning bolts... Tried for a few minutes just to make sure I had the right spot, and I can see how this can be really frustrating.
Any tips on how to count? I've heard some people say just time it instead of trying to keep track. I feel like counting might make me lose my concentration.

I did about 20 dodges in 1:45 minutes, so about 17 minutes for 200. I set my alarm for 6 minutes 3 times and ended up with more than enough.
Any reason you did three 6 minute alarms instead of one 18?
I think taking a break might be a good idea, but I'm worried I'll be out of sync and get blasted once I come back.
What a stressful side quest.
(edit: Wow just thinking about doing that perfectly for 18 minutes straight... ugh...Such a small margin for error, too.)

18 minutes can be very long, I tried to do it in one piece, but lost concentration after about 14
If you do it right however it's very easy, you're using the crater trick yes?

I found a crater where it does one after about 6 seconds, and then one after about 3 seconds and then repeat.
I know it should be very easy, but the small margin for error makes me worried that the stress will get to me after about 100 and I'll mess up.
