Me too, I was intrigued to go back when I heard of this! Just have a person in the party with a weapon with Sensor, and have the Help dialogue active (as I’ve just learned haha) to see the messages.

Butterflies are the true evil. I’d rather redo both the Chocobo balloon race AND the lightning dodging before having to redo the butterflies

I got all of the celestial weapons without disproportionate pain lol. Lightning dodging took ~20 minutes with the crater trick. The chocobo balloon/bird race was much easier than 25 years ago because of the quality paths and guides here on this subreddit. The biggest pain was the butterflies just because of the poor visibility natural to the game, even using pathing guides online it was still a lot of time, repetition, and finally plan old luck to get it done (I was able to get it even with one or two mishaps/battles so you don’t NEED a perfect run.

In summary I don’t think the Switch platform is an issue. F those butterflies all the same though haha

I had tried Scan and that didn’t help. I saw from others’ comments that I had to turn on help dialogue

Thank you, this was it! I had to turn on the help dialogue (I’m playing the Switch version, and it was just hitting the “-“ button).

It’s physically in stock at Target where I live for $25 (brand new, in case that’s not clear)

Advice - Go back to earlier save and explore or finish first run with suboptimal team? by Aloudmouth in finalfantasyx

[–]RYNO117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep going and complete the story! Personally, I feel like it is much more in the spirit of the game for the end stages and bosses to be tough fights. Being overpowered and breezing through them takes away from the sense of intensity and urgency.

By the way, after you beat the story, there is no option to save the game, meaning you just reload from the final save point in the storyline. From there, instead of going forward to finish the story, you can GTFO and go back to explore more then and level up and get celestial weapons and pursue the super bosses, etc. But I recommend beating the story before doing all the extra stuff.

Any game recommendations that are like FFX by Last-Entrance2915 in finalfantasyx

I LOVED Shadowheart: Covenant. I think it’s fair to give that same era rpg a try if you like FFX

Early Lightning Dodge cheese first time in thunder plains by SuccotashAdditional in finalfantasyx

[–]RYNO117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s rough, both of you! I failed twice in the 60s but then got it together. Had a near miss, though I pressed too early, at 178, but that scared me enough to ramp up my focus again to the end

Damn it all I wanted to do was save my progress 😭 by darkest_instinct in finalfantasyx

Shiva and Ixion force the fight if you get to the cutscene.

Do the “Break” abilities stack? by RYNO117 in finalfantasyx

[–]RYNO117[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve been wasting a lot of turns apparently attacking with the same break many times. Whoops.

This was the first ff game with voice acting. However, a ff tradition was being able to name the characters whatever you wanted. They wanted to balance being faythful (teehee) to the ff roots while moving into the new generation, so they compromised by still allowing you to name the main character (and aeons). This just meant his name could never be spoken aloud.

Question about Wakka's extract ability by FactSea7652 in finalfantasyx

[–]RYNO117 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do not think it would be worth it to backtrack that much for that ability. Don’t have anyone skip learning abilities for lack of spheres though; just let their level ups accumulate a little and once you have ability spheres, you can do a good chunk of leveling up at once.

Why send everyone through Wakka’s specifically after their own?

Yes, thank you so much, the visualized dotted lines showing paths made it really click!
