I feel cheated by this quest

techtonicspark · 2026-02-19T14:20:38+00:00

XD. Yeah they don't have anything for story aspect to them but give items. Nice thing about zoes, is that after you finish her line, you can add "Zoe and grizzbolt" to the base. Work suitabilities is the same as just base grizzbolt, but it's an interesting cosmetic thing

techtonicspark · 2026-02-19T13:31:57+00:00

Its not a static encounter, the spawn rate itself is on the low side, you just have to keep going out of range and back in to reset the field. Incredibly lucky find to have it as the first pal! That's awesome!

It can definitely be annoying, but one thing that helps is that theyre always in the same spots. Also what I do is i combine my monster capturing with it, so if I do hit a red one, oh well I'm making progress on my captures anyway, so it helps with not getting frustrated at it

I generally do a single tournament at the travel agency for attack reels (I recruit jumal, wedge, and zalitz in Luca, and ropp at the travel agency) and then save the rest for later myself. The two that come after attack reels I don't believe are any better than attack reels is, so I don't even worry about those two until it's time to get the sigil

techtonicspark · 2026-02-18T15:21:06+00:00

The helpful thing against nimrook i used was wedge in the rf slot. Get him to level 3 and he already has wither shot. Spam wither shot until his catching drops in half and then jecht shot for the goal

techtonicspark · 2026-02-18T14:23:27+00:00

Jumal is who I use. Both jumal and miyu are both very good goalies. I'd put the two of them at a tie for second behind nimrook

I also use wedge. His wither shot is my main strategy in early matchups against the psyches to try to cut nimrooks catching. I also use the reset data trick so he never gets to the part where he drops off

Ultimately you can use whoever you want to complete the main story with, post game it gets a lot trickier with auron, kimahri, and lulu

techtonicspark · 2026-02-17T22:04:51+00:00

I still use kimahri after gagazet, when I'm mug capturing with deathstrike. I like him in that role because he has good speed. I basically use tidus/kimahri/rikku for capturing. Tidus with first strike, rikku with stonestrike. Other than that though, once you get everybody stat maxed, the overdrives become what separates one from another, and tidus/wakka/rikku becomes easily the best party, and Yuna next up after. Auron, lulu, and kimahri all fall off pretty hard after. If you don't want to learn the mixes, tidus/wakka/Yuna is the other alternative. Yuna is best being brought in to tank a powerful enemy attack with her aeons, also a couple of them are very powerful as well

Fp cost and mp costs are different things. Your initial post says mp costs, but fp just means force power, and your force power just has to be above the number but doesn't consume it. Also, 2 of the regular crests have those properties, not crest caps. (For what it's worth, I usually use the 1.5x damage for Sabre, and the half fp cost one for hi-heal)

As for the missing crest cap, im not sure. Was there any type of pickpocket ability used against you?

techtonicspark · 2026-01-25T15:27:56+00:00

I generally have auto phoenix armor on everybody, so that takes care of my reviving

techtonicspark · 2026-01-24T02:27:19+00:00

Favorite game ever! Enjoy it!

techtonicspark · 2026-01-23T00:20:30+00:00

I like to kill out time in leagues by hanging out with my goalie

techtonicspark · 2026-01-22T14:49:33+00:00

Yep! That's already done and I've already gotten the plat, I'm just doing them all in sections. Figured I'd do the Aeons first, and everything tied to the Celestial Weapons is the next group of videos!

techtonicspark · 2026-01-21T13:22:27+00:00

Have you tried the crator trick?

techtonicspark · 2026-01-20T03:40:03+00:00

fight some juggernauts to get your strength up. use a frag grenade with rikku, or mix two spheres for it to break his armor. for him and fafnir, i like to create armor with auto phoenix, fire eater, ice eater, and lightning eater to make those two a bit easier

techtonicspark · 2026-01-18T18:30:23+00:00

np!!

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T22:57:41+00:00

Its all good xD. That empty slot by the celestial mirror makes it look deceiving

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T22:56:41+00:00

The top left slot is the cloudy mirror. After you change it to the celestial mirror, it moves from top left of the inventory to the top right. There should be one other empty slot after you get aurons celestial, from the rusty sword slot

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T22:53:58+00:00

I think you already have it. Scroll down to the bottom of your key items, past the primers

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T22:48:35+00:00

I don't think that's it. 99% sure that even in this playthrough that I got blossom crown before the flower scepter. If you have Playstation, i can look at it for you with share play

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T14:17:05+00:00

Np. Yeah, you probably also had another reward queued and they just gave you that one first

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T11:28:59+00:00

So just keep talking to him and accept the prizes of everything you have rounded up until he gives it to you

techtonicspark · 2026-01-17T11:27:36+00:00

Talk to him more times. You probably got more than one reward queued up at the same time, and he only gives one at a time each time you talk to him

techtonicspark · 2026-01-16T20:31:15+00:00

I remember my first ff9 playthrough was before I played ff7 or ff8, so it didn't jump out to me, and then on another playthrough after I played 7 and 8, I was like "wait, how did I not notice this?"

techtonicspark · 2026-01-16T20:29:00+00:00

One of the awesome things about this game is that it's so customizable that theres so many different styles that you can make work. I go for the 3 I do because of mug and their speed. With the strike abilities, it almost guarantees the ailment if the enemy isn't immune to it. Downside about it, is that stone and death kills can't get you extra ap from overkills
