And I hope they fix the god awful audio quality of the voices. It ruined the game for me.
I've heard that apparently the recording quality was bad so even if they were uncompressed they wouldn't sound great.

Was it just the voices though, or every audio files ?
Who's the other party member?
Inazuma Eleven except blitzball instead of football.

So far my only disappointment is the new version of Wandering Flame. I love everything else though. I haven't been this hooked to a game for quite a while.
So is the story in X supposed to be so trippy at first? I'm about 30 minutes in and pretty confused about what's going on.

Is that about right or did I miss something?

-So Tidus is being followed around by some ghost/inter-dimensional being/random kid who makes cryptic statements.
-He also knows this Auron dude who gives no fucks about anything and also enjoys making cryptic statements.
-This huge monster called Sin destroys his town and then sends him 1000 years into the future.
-Tidus investigates some ruins with some future people and activates them, revealing a sunken ship or something that seemingly isn't too important.
-Then Sin comes in again just to dump Tidus at some island before he can find out more about what's going on, which is where I'm at right now.

Heck.
Should have used a guide...
I missed a few on the boat and besaid because I thought they didn't start appearing until Rin gives you one after Luca. I was wrong D: I'm on Mushroom rock atm and have 7 out of the 9 I could have gotten so far
Just go with the flow. It'll make more sense later

Only 19-22 are permanently missable. You're still good
That's all correct. It's kinda weird!
Yep, you've got it down for the information you have at this point.

All will be revealed, your good so far i think
Use this for future reference. http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Al_Bhed_Primers
Some of the locations could be considered spoilers if you've never beaten the game before.

I dont know what you guys are talking about input lag? im playing on ps3.
i did notice the battle menu being unresponsive for about half a second when its someone's turn. i cant remember if it was like that on ps2 though.

I love the Aeon designs in this. I kind of think of FFX's Ifrit, Shiva, and Bahamut as the "canon " likeness of those summons, even if I shouldn't.
I don't have any more input lag than normal for my LED (on gaming mode).
Unchanged.

I beat the game years ago. No worries.
All audio files I believe (or at least the music, I remember the OST sounding clearer when played on it's own than when it played during the game). It was just more noticeable with the voices.

Just got through Home. Those early PS2-era animations and VA are really starting to rear their ugly head here
.
Also screw that one primer that makes you change screens to remove an invisible wall, total BS.
poor Tidus . I feel like things are about to get (more) awesome

My copy has arrived! Not sure if I'll start playing tonight, but I'm excited to play my favorite game again.
Trying to decide to do 'smart' customization with the Expert Grid or just go nuts and make Lulu into Auron or something.
If you actually decide to follow the default paths of each character (which they still exist on the Expert Sphere Grid, or at least it did back in the original release) it has a few interesting bonuses, like being able to teach Auron Haste for something like 4 additional steps early in-game (while the Standard Grid just denies you that possibility altogether until end-game) and giving Yuna some black magic so she isn't just a healer.
Going nuts and making Yuna the new Auron was something I did in one of those saves I had back then

I won the story blitzball tournament!!! After multiple tries! Scored in overtime. Take that Luca Goners!!!!
I won it with Wakka's venom shot

Damn. Thanks. Wish they'd changed that, it's very unfun for most of them.

I don't think I've tried Auron's, Tidus's, or Wakka's overdrive yet on Vita, but I've tried Lulu's and maybe it's just me, but I have trouble using the right analog stick for her overdrive on Vita compared to PS3.

No, no. Guides are for suckers! So far I've managed to get primers 1-14 except 11 without a guide and I will never resort to using a guide. Ever.

Quoting myself as I'd like some input. Am I crazy or is navigating the battle menus slower ?
I only notice it when canceling out of actions / going "up a level" in the menus by pressing 'O'

Originally I wasn't all that impressed with the Expert Grid. There's really aren't too many abilities in FFX that really benefit from being 'doubled up' in your party, at least ones easily accessible wth the Expert Grid.
I took another look at it though and the stat bonuses from being able to cross into another section at will see good enough to play around with.
I think I'll save the crazy character mixups for a second playthrough.

I got used to it but I feel like I am going to break the right stick so I am very careful. When I played on the PS2, I was never so gentle with the right stick.

Yes, the cursor moves slower when scrolling through a list I think. Also, has anyone else noticed the wait when you dismiss an Aeon?
Hibiki Kurosawa

Yeah, that too. The Vita analog sticks almost feel more delicate than PS3/2 analog sticks, not to mention replacing a controller is a lot easier and cheaper than replacing a Vita analog stick (or Vita itself).
Well yes, the blitzball instead of football implied that. I meant the way blitzball actually plays.
Actually the analog sticks are rather cheap and easy to replace, but I can understand not wanting to open the system up and take that risk.

Yeah that, and also going left or right to another screen. Navigating a menu and selecting something is fine; it's when a transition occurs that it takes a little while for the player to be able to input another action. It's irritating because it's slowing me down, and I am aware of it at all times.
I meant take out the football from Inazuma Eleven, and put in Bliztball from FFX. I used it as a comparison not for the sport gameplay itself, but the fact you go around town, talking to people, recruiting players, and there's an overarching story.

I was at Best Buy and had the guy look up the Vita version. He said that none of the stores in the region are even getting them. Wtf best buy?!

Maybe some kind of protest because half the game is download only.
So for those playing Expert Grid...which path are you taking your characters?
Uggh, I should have gone down standard grid, since I wouldn't have so many choices....
I know I'm going to have Yuna dabble a little into Black Magic...should Lulu just go down her own route, or is it not a bad idea to have her dabble in Yuna's path?
Where do you guys take Tidus?
I'm going to have Auron go down Wakka's path, but what about Wakka?
And where does this leave Riku?
AAHHHHH choices

I went to mine and they were sold out. After that, I remembered I still had like $23 in my PSN wallet and decided to buy a $20 digital PSN card off Amazon and redeemed that to just buy the game off PSN.
No tax and I don't have to worry about keeping the FFX card in my vita while X-2 remained digital.
Decided to jump onto Expert once more as to make Rikku the best black mage ever again.
Oh and no input lag on vita for overdrives for me.

Well if it's cheap and easy to replace, that's a little reassuring I suppose, but yeah I would rather not have open up my Vita.

Just got to Luca. Is it my eyes deceiving me or did the graphics and character models just improve? Really weird.
