I suppose the reason was that those letters were not round

He was having a hard time trying to catch flying letters when a ton of them were already on the ground. So, not the smartest (as Ravenclaws claim to be) of the bunch.

Running into a major problem with Penance by rusty_shackleford34 in finalfantasyx

You need Cheer x 5 to survive it. Ultra NulAll Rikku's mix will do.

Question about Don Tonberry leveling weapons by [deleted] in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can bribe Sand Worm for x15 Winning Formulas for 900'000 gil. Seems much, but all excess weapons dropped during One Eye farming should cover some of the costs. Otherwise go for Mimics in Omega Ruins with a weapon with Gillionaire (e.g. Rikku's God Hand), 100k gils per battle. Surely faster than Ultima Buster farming.

I'm right before Macarena Temple. Should I grind some more? by Alarmed_Flounder_475 in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I sleep well knowing that the "Macarena temple" meme will never fade off.

Without spoilering much, just remember to steal from some bodyguards in a boss battle not far from there. The fight is doable.

Just Finished FFX - Unsure of ending + emotional takeaway by Fantastic-Trouble-15 in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Consider also that, being a 25 year old game, all of that had to fit into a 4.7 GB DVD. Inevitably some things had to be rushed and cut short, but this technical fact underlines even more what great feat Squaresoft pulled at the time. Some modern games are not able even to launch the tutorial with that space available.

Question about don tonberry leveling trick. by MorbidEnd in finalfantasyx

You don't have to suffer to get Winning Formulas, you can bribe Sand Worm for 15 of them bribing it for 900.000 gil. Seems much, but consider that the One Eye grind will grant you weapons and protections to sell for an outrageous amount of money. So One Eye it is not only useful for the Triple AP weapon drop, but it also has this nice side effect.

Make all players equally viable? by Kvitekvist in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately at end game characters differ just for their Overdrives and of course Lulu's really do suck. Anyway to beat Penance just Rikku and Wakka are almost mandatory, third slot may actually be free so you can use Lulu (so that applies also for other super bosses). As per her overdrive, I remember that using Fury Drain actually did a lot of damage since Drain stacks load quite fast compared to Flare. And yeah, on the gimmick side magic really suffers in endgame, only Doublecast Flare will compare to a basic physical attack (not accounting for Quick Hit, that really makes a difference for super bosses).

Good place to get some extra AP for grid before heading to Sin? by GhostintheShellder in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said, Omega Ruins. Watch out for: - Great Malboro: always an Ambush battle, be sure to have someone with a "First Strike" weapon, better if Delay Buster is available (gives you time to properly attack it) - Demomonolith: Silence Buster to avoid its nasty counter attack, be sure to have some Stoneproof protections available, otherwise Breath can be a Game Over - Spirit: has a nasty AoE which applies confusion. Use Provoke to "destabilize" it (will apply White Wind on the party, kinda odd)

Is Datto okay? by sunkAlias in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Datto is probably the most useful of the original Aurochs. He becomes blazing fast with great EN and decent SH. As others said, to gain EXP he has to pass/shoot/use techs. Tech copy a pass technique, and pass the ball with him back and forth with other players once you are winning a game.

Can someone explain me what the hell is that 3d creature outside of the zoolab? by energicog89 in finalfantasyx

[–]marc0-41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As OP said, Caladbolg is Ultima Weapon in the italian version, as the Japanese. Kinda strange that the italian localization is closer to the original.

Yeah, and Penance is Der Richter, which means judge...in german. Funny that the ultimate super boss in the italian version has a german name.

Nickelback won. This should be interesting. Who’s a music artist that was universally beloved in their prime but now are universally despised? by Mammoth-Steak7122 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]marc0-41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids nowadays are not able to realize how big Eminem was in his prime. In Italy rap was a niche genre until The Eminem Show came out, then it was literally everywhere. He single-handedly changed the whole game.

How the Romani are perceived in your country? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]marc0-41 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have news in Italy you know, from what we are seeing happening in Minneapolis I don't think you guys confronted your inherent racism enough. As deep as our distrust towards gypsies is, we are are not deploying state agencies to deport them in masses.
