Final Fantasy X Hints XCI (PS2)

Final Fantasy X is a video game in the well-known JRPG series from Square Enix.

The game uses a complex cast of characters and manages to spin a main story that influences the destinies of all of them.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Easy Sphere levels

This trick will only work with one character at a time. You first need a weapon with "Overdrive=AP" and the "Slayer" overdrive mode. Having double or triple overdrive helps. Go to the arena and choose to fight a Dingo, the first enemy on the list. Make sure the character you want to level is the fastest in your party so that they can get the first hit. Repeatedly press X to keep fighting Dingos. This results in about 17,000 AP per battle. This is easier with a controller with an auto-fire feature.

Save a Sphere level

You must have a Return Sphere. Go to the node that you used, then use the Return Sphere.

Moving around the Sphere Grid

You can get around the Sphere Grid easily if you have done the Monster Arena quest to get Chimerageist, as you will win Return Spheres. If you are on the Sphere Grid with FX. a MP sphere ahead of you, activate it.

Use the Return Sphere to get to it with no Sphere Grid level used. Note: Sometimes there are empty spots; you must use a sphere level or fill it with a special attribute sphere. Also, if you have the Magus Sisters, you can beat Chimerageist faster and with better chances for overkill, so you would get two Return Spheres. It sometimes drops Dark Matter.

Braska Sphere

When you get to the Thunder Plains, go all the way to the right, then keep going up. You will eventually find a Braska Sphere.
