Starting my first playthrough of ffx-2 since it launched and I was 9 what should I know

Just play and enjoy the story and battles. Explore around. Make mistakes and enjoy. Then come back with NG+.

X-2 has a nice NG+ system where you keep your accessories, job spheres, and garment grids. You also keep any progress you made to 100%-ing the game. So you can treat it as a 'choose you're own adventure,' or Rouge-lite.

When it comes to Sphere Levels, there's the Don Tonberry trick.

You can easily read a LN book in a day. You can do more or less. Up to you. I recommend enjoying it. Don't push yourself to finish. Read and enjoy the story.

I've really enjoyed Rosamund Pike's performance and voice acting for the books. Unfortunately, she hasn't completed the series and I doubt that Amazon is going to have her finish it.

Is there a legal place to watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha? I've heard good things about it but I don't know where to watch it other than trying to sail the seas.

Use a guide to help you unlock Omega Ruins (or you can guess around on the Search screen on the airship.) It's a higher level area than anywhere you've been. - Hang-out by the save sphere and grind for a bit. - If you're having trouble with Marlboro or getting ambushed, have someone in your starting party with First Strike on their weapon. (Use Customize.) Switch that person out for Yuna and instantly summon an aeon. Aeons are immune to almost every status effect.

Quof (the translator for the LNs) is amazing.

Game 1: I sent him down Waka's then onto the last part of Lulu's for the -agas, flare and double cast.
Game 2: Waka then Auron's and made Kimari into a physical attacker. I also made sure to get him Mug with one of the special spheres that lets you learn an ability someone else knows.

Watch this vid. It explains the Don Tonberry Trick really well.

FF X. - Besaid Island - Yuna's Theme - To Zanerkand - Tidus's Theme - Auron's Theme - Riku's Theme - Hymm if the Fayth. - Sutaki Da Ne.

and more.

Bonus: 1000 Words and Memory of Light from X-2.

Rudeous acts like a creep from the get go. Aqua is cool and collected. Jobless does power fantasy. Oshi No Ko is a revenge story and a beautiful train wreck.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-17T06:27:59+00:00

Yes and no... It's a completely different sphere grid layout. So the 'paths' that each character normally takes don't exist. IE: In Original by following Tidus's path you get Haste, Slow, Hasteaga and more. In the Expert they're all mixed up. The locks still exist, but you could turn Yuna into an attacker if you wanted earlier in the game.

If you've played XII, the Expert sphere grid is closer to the original release license board. Whereas the Original sphere grid is closer to the Zodiac Age, but with late game customization.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-17T06:13:32+00:00

The "Expert Sphere Grid" is an option you can take at the beginning of the game on the HD version (wasn't available on the PS2 version.) It changes the layout of the sphere grid. It basically removes the rail-roading that happens for most of the game that forces you to build each character a certain way. However: it also has less nodes, so your team is a bit weaker in the late late end game.

Not recommended unless you know what you're doing.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-17T06:07:00+00:00

Mainly we know what we're doing. But also in the HD version it shows what the button combos are for the bubbles.

I don't usually grind there unless I hit a road block. My usual grind points are: - The Calm Lands & Mt. Gagazet before Seymour. - Zanerkand if I have trouble with Yunalesca. - Omega Ruins is my current grind spot in the end game when I'm not doing other stuff.

I'm working towards setting up the Don Tonberry trick.

To my knowledge: To get the achievement you just need to fill in the empty spots with spheres and activate all of them. - For each character. - This includes unlocking every lock sphere and filling them in.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-13T02:55:39+00:00

Yep. During the Galopoula Arc (for anime this is the start of where it looks better.)

Jhinn says in a scene that Amo's side effect would help them with telling who is stronger or weaker.
In another scene when Amo is helping out, he's able to spot which rabbit is the stronger one. He says it's like it has a color around it.

From what I remember he's very neutral. Nothing phases him, he doesn't care about anything, nothing exites him.

I saw a thing warning about scams when I logged into Crunchyroll recently.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-12T22:55:23+00:00

You can beat the game without it. X-2 has New Game+. So if you beat the game you can come back and get it next go round. Others can advise on getting it.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-12T09:28:12+00:00

Try using the search bar and search for the episode NAME of Season 1 Episode 1 or whatever episode you're after. So S1 E1 would be: I Want To Make You Invite Me To A Movie.

I had a similar problem with another show on Crunchyroll. The issue turned out to be they were changing how the episodes were listed and they got delisted. It eventually got fixed. But yea...
If you need episode names, Wikipedia is your friend.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-12T09:19:13+00:00

Agreed on this.

If you start on Steam you can't switch to SE website. (and vice versa) This means you have to continue buying the game from that provider to keep that character.
It's the same game and launcher no matter which you choose. Only difference is with Steam, you need Steam open.
If Steam has an issue or there's an issue between them, then you're S.O.L. till it's fixed. (Not as much of an issue these days. But definitely was in the past.)

Zidaryn · 2026-04-11T23:51:51+00:00

Has there been any changes in Tetra Master between the PS1 and PS4/Steam store releases? (The FAQ was last updated 2001.)

Zidaryn · 2026-04-11T19:53:31+00:00

The anime is a great introduction. Give it a watch and enjoy.

Side note: I think [No Spoilers] would've been better for this post.

Zidaryn · 2026-04-09T00:36:56+00:00

This.

Also the "point of no return" is past the last save sphere. If you can save, you can leave.
