If you want to get the main character of Final Fantasy X to hate you, you should say something like "Who's your daddy!?". It would be a pretty sadistic joke considering that the old man is the worst enemy of our hero. Trapped in Zanarkand, Tidus, the famous Blitzball star has to vanquish Sin and free this world, returning to his own universe. With a very interesting sphere grid system, Final Fantasy X manages to keep up with the rest of the series and gain millions of fans that will play this game till they will have found the last potion. It's the first game in the series that features real time battles, with some turn based aspects that are just reminders of the previous installments. Brilliant cutscenes and a great story make this game one of the best RPGs ever created. Featuring huge temples, a gigantic world and thousands of creatures, Final Fantasy X is not a game that you can finish in a week, not even in two weeks. Try a month...try a whole season. Need help?

Blitzball is the main "sport" in Zanarkand and Tidus is one of the best players. It's not an easy game to play, although it's quite similar to football. Here's a little helping hand:

Blitzball Easy Win Bug

Whenever you are playing Blitzball, and you're winning (i.e. your score is higher than the other team's) just swim behind your own goalie. Stay there and everyone else on the field will go to the other side and swim in circles. Sometimes, a member of the opposite team will follow you. Just shake him loose (breaking through him is an easy way) and he too will just leave you alone. Stay there for the rest of the game and you will win.

Blitzball easy EXP code

During a blitzball game, go to one of the corners on the right side of the arena (also referred to as the easy win bug). While you're there, put the two players that you want to gain experience side by side, and have them pass the ball repeatedly to each other. Each pass gives you 1 EXP, and if there's at least two minutes on the clock, you can accumulate up to 30 EXP.

AirShip Passwords

There are also hidden locations accessible by using the "Input" feature found in the airship command list. You can find these passwords by deciphering Al Bhed messages left in specific locations around Spira. Note that all of the passwords are case-sensitive.

Auron's MURASAME: bears the One MP Cost ability. Input the password MURASAME in all caps.

Rikku's legendary Weapon GODHANDInput the password GODHAND in all caps.

Rikku's VICTORIOUS; armor that nullifies three types
of elemental attack. Input the password VICTORIOUS in all caps.

Once you enter these, you can select the new area from the list (it will even show up with a little box that says 'NEW'.

Then there are the coordinates. You can freely move the cursor around the map.

On the left X,Y,Z coordinates are shown. Z is just elevation and is unimportant. So here are some X,Y locations to use. Just press the O button to search these spots and the new location will appear in your List menu.

X-74 Y-36 = Omega Ruins
X-15 Y41 = Sanubia Sand Dune
X-16 Y-57 = Ebon Temple (Anima)
X-31 Y-73 = Bisaido Rainbow Waterfall
X-34 Y-58 = Mihen Abovewater Ruins
X-42 Y-57 = Kinokoiwa Battle Ruins

Get Yojimbo at a reduced price

When you find Yojimbo, wait for him to make his offer. After he makes the offer, which I believe is 300,000 gil, offer him half of what he wants plus 1 gil. He will then lower his price. Increase your offer by 1 gil, which will force him to lower it again. This time, he will not take any amount much lower, so offer him about 5-10,000 gil less than what he wants, generally around 190,000, and he should take it. If not, repeat the process and simply offer a little more than your previous offer.
