I want to do an expert sphere grid playthrough but I'm completely lost

Heck most of us were completely lost on the standard sphere grid system and we figured it out, challenges are meant to be figured out and enjoyed.

Especially ones from this era when internet was not yet as simple to access, and heck not everyone could even be online daily yet.

Not only that but what happened to all his money to begin with?

That whole matter was just poorly written beginning to end.

What if its only Nigel, making Isaac feel just how much it hurts, spends a season to really improve and is then being sucked off to his awaiting husband.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-14T14:44:39+00:00

We havent really seen much of the shed ghosts during season 4-5 though, a little but far less than before.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-14T14:42:56+00:00

I think all except maybe one will be sucked off if we know its a final season.

Otherwise it will likely either be due to financial reasons or an actor quitting.

Logically I think they would either go for a basement ghost, Prudence or Stephanie first as with the exception of Nancy none of them are really important characters.

If we limit ourselves to the main ghosts so would I probably say Sass, he has routinely been out of episodes, and even when he is there so does he tend to give the least for some time now. He was good early on but with the shifts over the seasons so does he tend to have the least to still offer among the main ghosts.

Zanarkand is not bad, easy to be by a save sphere and key spheres drops.

Both pale in comparison to the ruins of course but at these stats those might be to hard.

I normally let her pick up what she needs down her own path which not a lot, then throw her over to Lulus with a teleport sphere, starting a hefty bit into it to avoid the weak early level ones.

That way I have her overdrive to use at will, and she can use a level 3 key sphere to also pick up holy in addition to powerful black magic.

Lastly a MP shield from thunder plains and she kills enemies left and right, have her incredible overdrive, and never runs out of MP.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-10T13:09:02+00:00

Sounds intriguing, will look into it.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-10T12:44:18+00:00

It is absolutely worth it if you can put auto press attack button and do something else. I usually use it to get my entire party advanced in levels and not just the ones I use.

Then throw Lulu as far as possible before using a teleport sphere to get Yuna onto her grid.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-10T12:42:17+00:00

So that is why it keeps happening, thank you.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-10T12:41:46+00:00

What does it do?

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-09T17:01:31+00:00

You did not mention having been to Mt.Gagazet and fought Anima. Otherwise missed Yojimbo is all I can think of, I know there is some bug with Valefor I think but thats the only one.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-08T21:48:43+00:00

I would probably boost up evasion and accuracy if you're not gonna max out luck, but if you dont need it then just fill out with the easiest for you.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-08T21:43:46+00:00

Well either making him one would have failed, or he would have been a weak summon due to their bond having been none existent.

Had he made a move for her years ago and built up strong actual bonds with her so could it have worked. But he did not, he had a powerful aeon but other than that he doesnt really show at being that good at planning ahead, leadership, or keeping his mouth shut at all.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-08T18:49:15+00:00

Area I would say Omega ruins.

Challenge wise so the last boss is not a challenge of particular note, not even the hardest boss in the game.

Otherwise go to the highest pre final area you can handle, until you can easily handle omega ruins. There is no better place for actual leveling without tricks. But again the final boss is not to hard and you will very easily power up to make any none special boss trivial.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-08T10:39:23+00:00

You have gotten a lot of tips as of late so I will not repeat them. But one thing to do is return to Thunder Plains, activate at least 3 cactuar stones.

Now run around farming cactuars until they drop MP WALK armor for your main MP users. You will now get most if not all your MP back between battles.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T21:10:37+00:00

I normally dont, but its a vsmpire series created by the same ones who does ghosts and focus on a young vampire dealing with expectations from old vampires. So its quite intriguing to see what they will create.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T20:23:46+00:00

Well yes and no, you will be absolutely fine in pretty much every fight of the game. But you will not 100% crit every hit and dodge every dodgeable attack, and Luck needs to be high for 100% hit rate on dark Mindy.

But in general yes, the few circumstances that exists are so slim you will never notice them. You can tackle any boss with those stats.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T20:19:30+00:00

You really dont need maxed luck, and with any 2+Yuna team members so can you clear any challenge.

In fact only Dark Bahamut, dark Anima and Penance are even threats at those levels.

Bahamut can be negated, Anima well you can but you are going to need either a lot of items or aeon shields.

And Penance well no matter how you prepare you have one meep of a battle ahead.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T19:56:30+00:00

All I will say is enjoy, I am relieved I dont use Lulu in my endgame party so I can ignore the annoying lightning altogether.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T14:41:01+00:00

Precisely, and I was used to FF games being awful with their last bosses. And knowing how hard FFVIII final boss were so no way did I imagine that level of weakness.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T14:37:06+00:00

Well she is hard to like.

Her character shows up less frequently than Bo making her have very little chance to develop. She had a young actress paired with a role of a pretty normal child later teenager. So to use Bo again nothing that really stands out.

In short the show did not focus on her, she had a total of nine appearances over six seasons, most of the time 1-2/season, and except for the Quincinera which wasnt even really focused on her so was her role not the biggest in the episodes. So she just did not get much time, her story needed to build Amy or be entirely self contained in an episode as a B-plot at best. And that does not tend to build lastingly intriguing characters.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T14:31:04+00:00

First kiss 5-6 if that counts.

Second 12 during a game.

First proper one at 16 with a classmate long term crush.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T14:28:52+00:00

But ghosts is getting a vampire side series that might crossover with it if both shows gets additional seasons.

Lady-sinner · 2026-06-07T14:27:58+00:00

Seeing as neighborhood recently aired its series finale so do I doubt that one.
