GAMEPLAY HINTS

Grenades

Use the following trick to get 99 grenades, and the Slayer Overdrive mode. Once you start the game and meet Rikku and are trying to find the Al Behd ship underwater, continue keep fighting them. Have Rikku steal, but do nothing else.

Then, have Tidus kill anything you encounter. Continue doing this for about two hours, and you should have 99 grenades, and Tidus should get the Slayer Overdrive mode. If you are persistent enough, continue to train until he gets his second Overdrive.

However even after you find the ship and are first visiting Besaid Island, you will have 99 grenades to use or sell.

Items

After your ship docks at the first town (the one torn apart by Sin), proceed through the intermission sequence with Yuna, and you will find yourself in a hut. Exit the hut, and proceed to the left side of the screen. You will see a child on a pile of rubble. Press X near the child to rescue her before the rubble collapses. Proceed to the hut at the top right of the current screen for a free item from the chest.

If you keep fighting the arena creation Stratoavis, most of the time you will win two to four Amulets, but in very rare instances you will win a Dark Matter.

After you get the airship, revisit the temples. Go through the Temple Of Trials again. After you finish, the Fayth will talk to you and give you a very useful item. After the Fayth stops talking, there will be two to four chests with lots of useful Spheres.
