God, I hate
. One of the hardest bosses in the game. Up to this point they have been all easy. I always remember getting stuck on him for awhile. Have no problem getting him under 10k,
Ugh.

then he uses haste and that swoop attack.

I'm mostly thinking of the "running" that happens in cutscenes, where people just glide around really awkwardly. When I saw that scene at the Kilika temple where everyone ran up the steps, I thought the game was glitching because of how bad it looked. The improved visuals make the poor animations stand out.
Really easy if you take him on the right way. I always use Power Break on him right off the bat to bring down his physical attacks, then pull away as soon as possible. From there just use Wakka and magic to attack him, he won't swoop in until he's low on HP. The missiles from the airship will fire 3 times and they help a lot too. By the time he starts swooping in and attacking you he should be near dead, then just use any overdrives you might have or your strongest attackers.
Also Rikku and her Al Bhed potions are a godsend in this fight, especially during that last section. Heals 1000HP to everyone and rids that poison ailment he gets on you from his Poison Breath, although you shouldn't be seeing much of it if you pulled away for the first part of the fight.

Did you try casting dispel to remove the positive status. That should work.
No, he will always cast Haste on himself again if you get rid of it. And if you haste your own party he'll cast Slow on you all.

Yeah, mainly its his poison breath that wipes the floor with me. Thanks for the tip though. Been such a long time since I've played this game. lol
Al bhed potions are a lifesaver for this. EDIT: Oh that's what the person you quoted said too.

That's a Riku thing, right? I believe I have some of those. Don't really use Riku though. lol
She's vulnerable to Slow (Before she casts Haste) and Blind. Setting up Cheer before she casts Haste will help you survive and kill her before she overwhelms you.
Al Bhed potions heal the entire party while also curing the Petrification and Poison status the boss likes to inflict.
Yes, use them with her use command.
Yeah, Rikku or Kimahri if you've taught him Use.

Does anyone else enjoy quickly tapping Circle as Tidus runs around? Completely breaks the running animation and it makes it look like he's essentially sliding.
Just got to the desert. I've played a lot today, this morning I was saved outside of Djose Temple which I completed yesterday.

Winning them gives you three chances to customize One MP Cost to weapons. Really good for Lulu's Magic Booster weapon from Wantz and few weapons from the post-Airship Djose shop.
Ugh, tempting. Guess I'll give it another shot later on
I forgot you go to Guadosalam before the Thunder Plains. Huh.
I believe the implication is that Vanille literally inherited the animation from Yuna.

Wait too long and you might as well get Nirvana and Onion Knight.
PS3.
Dat 1080p upscale.
Isn't it native? I have the game but haven't opened it yet due to infamous and mgs.

Well, took the time and actually went back to get all the Jecht Spheres. Glad I did it now and also grabbed
before a dark aeon screws me out of both of them later.
I thought it'd be awful, but you know it was actually kind of peaceful just running back through all the stuff you've already done and enjoying the world for what it is (especially the super early ares). It's also interesting to see how much Spira has changed in such a short time. What an incredible game.

I cast haste on four of my party members, he never used slow on me.
When I dispelled his haste he never casts haste again.
If you cast slow on him, he'll stay slow until he casts haste on himself around the 16k mark.
If you just dispel it, he should be at regular speed.
If you cast slow on him after the halfway mark, he'll just recast haste.
Just did it, I meant later as in real time wise since I was a bit sick of itWait too long and you might as well get Nirvana and Onion Knight.
but I decided to give it another shot after posting, wasn't too bad after I got the hang of it.In my experience he never uses Haste until around the halfway mark, period. Up until then yes, you can Slow him or Haste your party (Not sure on the latter). But after that point any of those things will cause him to Haste himself or slow your party.
I think Bevelle is the earliest possible, but by then it's too late to backtrack on foot anyway.
I thought you could only backtrack after Bevelle and before the Calm Lands?
If you wanted to backtrack you should have done it right after the boss in the Macalania Woods.
I just barely got to the thunder plains :l
When do I go back for it then? I though it was after bevelle :/
If you want to backtrack for the Jecht Sphere in Besaid, you need to do it as soon as you beat the Spherimorph boss in Macalania Woods.

I really hate not being able to skip scenes. ;_;
Doing the Besaid temple right now then grinding out spheres with the boat level.

You can steal Purifying Salts off the monks on the Bevelle Highbridge for it too, but it's a rare steal.

Man Lulu is such a b*tch to you at the beginning only to end up like the best big sister you could ask for near the end lol.

Just use a skill sphere. I taught Tidus Use that way.

Nothing quite like hitting exactly 0 seconds on the chocobo race.
I did that and it gave me the sigil. I was a rollercoaster of emotions. Is it due to rounding?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've tried googling. Can I simply plug my vita into my PS3 to transfer saves for this game back-and-forth? I only ask because I've never been able to get them to connect properly, and I want to make sure it'll work before I put any effort into getting them setup. I'd use the Sony Network if I could, but my PS3 is a pain to get networked.

I've decided to concentrate all the rage to post-game after that haha.

I can probably do the chocobo race again.
If it goes anything like my last playthrough, I'm going to bang my head against a wall for a solid hour, give up, try again the next day, and get it on the first try.

Man, I have a calc 2 test coming up this week and I can't peel myself away from this. Even after all the times I've played this game, I can't manage to do it. I'm having too much fun.

The crater in the southern part wedges in some predictability into the dodging, which should negate the effect of the input lag
Did this challenge today. Wasn't bad. Only takes about 10 minutes with Enc-None, but it's a pretty tense 10 minutes. Everyone was asking me why the hell I was counting out loud while playing my Vita lol

Once you go through
you can backtrack through before
right? I need money for Yojimbo and I don't feel like just grinding 50k gil at the entrance of the mountain.
Mt. Gagazet to Zanarkand
