Yeah, that was honestly just bad game design. Like I don't mind the superbosses, just not them being in the way of acquiring the weapons you kinda need to beat them... That and unskippable cutscenes. And the weird voice acting in English... Brilliant game besides that stuff tho.

@@TakesTwoToTango too many people complain about the voice acting , I wouldn’t have it any other way , it gives the games character and charm , it’s a game that has a balance of comedy and serious , the part where Yuna and Tidus are laughing is supposed to be goofy and wierd Jesus h Christ people
Coming from someone who literally thought I'd never finish the chocobo race with 0 seconds... don't give up.. it took me approx 18 hours or over 500 attempts. Spent two full days and almost just side lined tidus... but finally I did it. Lol I still haven't even attempted lulu celestial sigil.. but u don't even need it because yuna is a great dark mage anyways.
I just did it. Thought I'd messed up getting hit by two birds but then saw I got 17 balloons. I was so happy I nearly cried. Took me around 4 hours non stop plus watching guides.
I've seen a bunch of guides where people think resetting data is the only quick way to change the league prizes. That's not true. You can simply restart the game or do a quick reset by holding down start, select, L1, L2, R1 and R2. This trick was in the official guide that I bought when the original game released, so I don't know how it got forgotten by everyone. You can only use this if you haven't played any games in a new league, so just save your game once a league season finishes, go into the Blitzball menu and if you don't like the prizes, use the button combo reset. This works for tournaments too.
I remember getting the sub zero in less than a handful of tries on my first ever playthrough and thought that people complaining about it was silly. I have not been nearly as fortunate in subsequent playthroughs and have had to walk away from the game many times.
@@Czah5 I had the same thing with the goron trial in Majora's Mask when you are getting the fierce deity mask. Now in hindsight I feel extremely fortunate I got it within 10 minutes during my first playthrough. Not so much for chocobo catcher. It was summer, I was 11 and it took me 3 days to get it. Probably like 10 hours of uninterrupted chocobo racing. Later on my brother paid me 10 bucks to get in on his save. Good times.
I beat this game in 2003 my junior year. Bought the remake and now 20 hours. Just got to Mt Ronso. Man this game brought back so many memories. And I love the grinding! Can’t wait to start on these weapons again!

As an adult I came back to the game (ffx hd) and completed it without the dark aeons and monster arena. Now, at 3 decades old I return to beat absolutely everything including penance (not there yet tho). Damn, I love this game
For anyone stuck fighting the dark aeons: use Yojimbo, pay him the amount that would make him use zanmato, it will instantly one shot. It will take a few attempts, since sometimes the dark aeon gets first move. As for shiva, to counter her high agility, get First Strike/move on Yuna’s weapon. I beat all of them this way. It’s costly , but it works

tbf they make no sense to me. Why make every dark aeon an end game superboss that requires a near maxed sphere grid? It would make so much more sense if Dark valefor was slightly harder than the final boss and they progressively got more difficult. Theres also the fact that they can block missed celestial sigils which means you cant utilise the uncap in max damage against them.
@boonsy6648 that's what the monster arena is for. That has a good difficulty curve that leads into the final dark aeons. Personally I absolutely love it. I do think the power should be scaled back 10% or so, as there's pretty much only one or two ways (three with yojimbo) to beat them and its so grindy its almost not worth it...but if your into grinding (this is final fantasy after all) it's the perfect carrot on a stick to keep playing.

I’ve seen this video like a dozen times through all the remakes, thank you so much I’ve had all weapons on ps2, vita, ps3, ps4, and now on my switch OLED
Great video, quick info on Wakka's weapon; Unless it was patched out you can get the Jupiter Sigil and all of Wakka's overdrives in 4-5 leagues by playing blitzball until its ready to reset and quitting out of blitzball straight after the game without seeing the main blitzball menu. At this point save and go back in to blitzball. If the league doesn't have an overdrive or the sigil then quit without saving and try again. It will continually roll the prizes at this point so you can get everything in the least time possible.
I found out that bit of info which was a big towards wakkas sigial. and it's well worth the blitzball grinding. also once I got head round blitzball I pretty much enjoyed playing it
Thank you for the wonderful in-depth guide. Getting everyones celestial weapons is something I've never done, and fully intend to do on my next playthrough. They really don't make games like this anymore.
Thank you for sharing this video. Caladbolg is such an amazing weapon. I’ve only ever had it once (on PS2), where the save corrupted literally the next day, after 750 hours.
It was 2008 - 2009 I last played FF X I was around 15 - 16 years old at that time. I was able to beat the game, but was not able to finish some side quest. I just replayed the game and I'm looking forward to complete the game and getting a platinum trophy. I appreciate for the tips. 😊
Soooo. I quickly blew through Besaid Temple and had to go back. Dark Valefor was waiting for me. I was hopelessly underpowered, but had Yojimbo. Zanmato. Ded.
I HATE that when you want to go back to explore some of the towns now you can't because of these stupid dark Aeons. Fuck that. I wanted to go to Besaid just to chill and BAM was shocked I was annihilated 99999 by this damn Valefor.
this is awesome, love your 99999/999 health n magic stats, i beat this game 2-3 since it came out ages ago and never got the celestial weapons for everyone.. wish i had time to do this :( glad to see it being done though.
I can't believe how difficult it was for me to complete this this task for the celestial weapons and grind for the correct rings ,it took me 2 gameplays just to learn and complete the Al bed alphabet just to run the 3rd gameplay without collecting the translation. This on my 3rd gameplay, Next was certain areas to research on the sigils location I never knew was in my face . I'm subscribing just to watch the wonderful memories of these games I had difficulty with but thanks for the notes on the remastered version. Edit : blitzball was so addictive I spent most of my time trynna perfect the strategy, hire the best offensive and defensive players throughout Spira and wanting to master as many skills on tech copy , loved this Mimi game .
Please convince me of why Blitzball is so awesome. I really really loathe that game but I must play it to get Wakka's ultimate weapon. The 200 lightning bolt thing was a breeze, but Blitzball... Currently playing FF X again (my favourite FF together with IX) and I really want to get everyone's ultimate weapon. I usually skip Wakka's and Tidus'
@@mvl71 im still playing ffx untill now, in now at maxing stats and almost finish the game, actually i spend more time playing bliztball than the actual game, i hated it first because im struggling how it works and i cant win any single game, but after a few game and learning how the game works im starting to love it, actually my original aurochs team is level 99 including Wakka at Tidus
Blitzball was my fave part of the game. Never got to finish the game. 50k health left on Jecht last aeon in overdrive down to last 10k before I could heal any of them Jecht throw the final punch🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@heidihughes7013 I feel your pain as well on my 1st attempt before entering that Sir Jecht clash . Glad the 2nd attempt was much easier but the 3rd attempt was to make them overpowered before losing my memory card with over 800hrs of grindset. Yeah the best part was resetting the blitz teams to default just make the game more entertaining and for the rewards

Just to reiterate the time on the balloon race has to be below 0.0. Back when I had this on the PS2 I got a time of 39.0 and 13 balloons for a time of exacly 0.0, it didn't count. There was much fury that day.
I just bought the X / X2 HD Remaster from steam for $11 and I was really surprised at how great it looks and plays today. I jacked all the in game graphics settings to max, bumped up the gpu settings for the game to max, and the resolution can go up to whatever your monitor is so I am playing it on a 2k monitor and it looks like it could have been a relatively recent game and not something I played as a child.
If you are trying to absolutely break the game. blitzball is the way at the cost of hours of grinding spheres and materials as rewards dark matter, teleport spheres, return spheres, all the most powerful options for weapon and armor customizations are offered as prizes in blitzball.
I haven't played this game in YEARS and this video just brought back so much PTSD from grinding these out when i was a kid. I don't think i even was able to fully power up them all. I specifically remeber having to dodge those stupid lightning bolts and having to play so. much. blitzball.
The early 2000s we’re a different time, I remember when this game first came out on ps2 I bought it along with the strategy guide and I found everything in the game easily, new games don’t Even have them anymore
Awesome video! Thanks for the effort you put into this video, this is really going to help me get all weapons this time round. I'm playing the remastered version on ps5 now and I first played this on my brother's ps2 back in the day when this game got me so addicted (it's still one of my all time favorite games). Now with your guidance I can finally get every characters weapon!
I played FFX back in 2001 and got Yuna, Rikku, Auron, and Kimahri’s CWs (with a bit of struggling on butterflies but otherwise easy.) I TRIED the whole chocobo thing but hours later i was just frustrated beyond belief! Same with lightning dodging, and I didn’t even try Wakka 😹😹😅 I have never gotten those three’s CW. And I don’t think I ever will. Games are supposed to be enjoyable and I refuse to do unpleasant grueling tasks for hours and hours. I’m playing on the Switch now, trying to gear up for Dark Aeons for the first time (as I only played an original PS2 copy ever) and I only got Yuna, Auron and Rikki’s CW! They are my dream team and are currently stat maxing in the Monster Arena. I might give them each of their minigames another attempt but it’s just so miserable!
In case it helps anyone. You don’t need to play an entire blitzball league or reset data to get new prizes. As long as you haven’t played any games in the new league all you have to do is a soft reset and you will get new prizes.
--So...from what reviewed on this guide for ultimate/celestial weapons, Wakka, Kimahri, and theoretically, Auron, can have fully powered celestial weapons before the Yunalesca fight. Wakka being the the technical earliest of them all and you can get Attack reels in the process. Basically the character with the best ultimate attack and being the technical earliest to have a fully powered celestial weapon. For Auron I'm not sure if you can back track on foot to fully power his.-- --Tldr: Wakka, Kimahri, and Auron can technically have fully powered ultimate/celestial weapons before the Yunalesca fight. Not sure for Auron though as I don't know if you can't backtrack for him after the second Seymour fight after getting the Rusty Sword. But definitely you can try for Wakka the (technical) earliest and Kimahri as second before Yunalesca.-- --Edit: For Wakka...yeah I just reviewed the video on Wakka. Yeah...needing for him to participate in battles for his ultimate attacks in Blitzball is going to be tedious. But if you have the patience to count each random encounters to up to 450-500 before passing the Mi'hen Highroad, then you're basically guaranteed to on your way to get Wakka fully powered during the Calm Lands section. Kimahri would be the second. Good thing I have the patience since I'm a shiny hunter in Pokemon. That and just in general of knowing what I want.-- --Edit: Nvm. Wakka needs the mirror to get his weapon. So basically Kimahri is technically the earliest for convenience of back tracking back to the forest to power up his Celestial weapon.-- Edit 2/4/2022: Okay so basically you can't get Kimahri's Celestial weapon early enough. After the airship you can try for the sigil appearently. So basically you can't get anyone's ultimate weapon early. Tried back tracking to Luca, but can't pass Guadosalam due to story events at that point. So Farming Dark Yojimbo is the only way to get Dark Matters (easily) if you want to have Limit Break damage gear before Seymour and all the way through Yunalesca. Somehow.
I actually LIKED playing blitzball in this game. After getting a few key players and passing the ball to Tidus ALOT, he becomes very powerful and pretty unstoppable. I send Tidus and the mid 3 in, pass to a good passer in the back, when Tidus gets to goal, pass to him, jecht shot and GOOOOOOOAL! Rinse and repeat
The best way to get wakka sigil is to finish a League then select back. Save game and try to rest for sigil to appear in prizes... If you select continue after league finishes. You will be stuck with prizes for whole season. If you found the sigil, select cancel and save game.
4:00 (5:00), 6:00 (6:30), (13:00), (16:30 - 17:00), [[18:00]] (19:17), (21:00 - 22:40), 23:00 (24:40) can be acquired before your 1st trip to the top of Mt Gagazet, btw. (No airship required!) Don't be a slacker or stupid; in some cases, this will ruin your game if you don't get the work done early. (3) celestrial weapons can be acquired: Tidus, Yuna, and Kimahri, but traveling back to before Guadosalom is impossible (story reasons, traitor!) or blocked by progression of a questline like "become a hero by clearing your name with a Maester on a holy mountain" and killing a villain for the third time (groan).
From worst to easiest I'd say: Butterflies [haven't finished it after endless tries will do in Remake] Blitzball [Spent 5 days with four 4 hour sessions and one 9 and 1/2 hour session.. yes..] Chocobo Race [just don't use analog sticks] Lightning Dodging [first tried this. Pause and take a break after 100 dodges to calm down then continue]
having done all the celestial weapons on the PS2 version of the game back in 2011 which them taking a good chuck of my complete 350 hour save file and also redoing them for HD remaster years after I can honestly say if I ever do them again on pc after doing a Final Fantasy Marathon whenever the pixel remasters of 4-6 come out on steam I will probably use a cheat engine or something because boy are these annoying to do.
I feel for you man. The monster capturing and Wakkas sigil alone would take you about 5-10 hours. Then you have the attempts with the sun sigil. Not to mention that if you miss a destruction sphere, you can't get anima yet. But personally I love the grind and have platinumed the game about 5 times now. Call me crazy 🤣
I played it on ps2 back in the day. Got some of the weapons. Tidus, lulu were the ones I really remember. Then 2-3 years ago I got them again. On a ps2 emulator. This time on the switch so far the best I got was 0.5 seconds on the race and I’m terrible at dodging lightning. And now since I missed it I guess a dark aeon is guarding the sun crest. Lol. Hopefully yojimbo will one shot him too.
The worst part of not having grabbed the stuff in Yunalesca's lair right after beating her is that i don't even recall that being there. On my friggin screen at least i scanned the area, only thing i found was somewhere that teleported me accross the screen...
Unless it's been changed from the original PS2 version of FFX, it would have been worth mentioning that while missing the Besaid and Macalania destruct spheres is definately bad, missing the one at Bevelle is worse - since you can't go back to the Bevelle Temple if you miss it
@@ryanball8944 nope, the spear that you get in bevelle is not the destruction sphere chest, the one is the HP Sphere if i remember, the spear is optional if you dont get it you still have the destruction sphere in bevelle
@@kazumi1315 you sure? I've failed to get Anima before because of the Bevelle chest, and I'm sure I didn't miss the HP Sphere chest... I could be wrong about that. If the spear has no bearing on Anima, then I'm happy to miss it - the only useful spear for him in my playthroughs is the Halberd from Djose with the +20% Magic lol
@@ryanball8944 yup, thats why the destruction sphere in bevelle is unmissable, unlike all the cloister trial, its literally the chest is in the way before you leave the place
I usually just get Yuna, Auron, Rikku, and Wakka in terms of celestial weapons. I can get Lulu and Kimahri but their sigils are a pain in the ass and not worth the hassle IMO. Tidus I don't use post-Zanarkand. Wakka already fills his role and then some.
I think you need to talk to a book on the counter in Rin's Travel Agency in Thunder Plains before you are able to start praying to the qactuar stones. I may be wrong though. The book might just be the in-game hint to what to do.
I unfortunately have it on Xbox, so the names are different for the sigils, because THATs what apparently needed fixing. Not the chocobo race, not the lightning strikes, the NAMES.
played this game during my childhood, so many things i had no clue about it...trying to beat this game now 100% completion and 3 times ive reached on 170+ lighting dodges and i nearly threw my Nintendo switch 😪
I hated going after the sun sigil. The damn chocobo wouldn’t respond the way I wanted it to. Even after figuring out the bird pattern to dodge, I kept missing balloons that should’ve been easy to get. Took me forever to get my time down to 0.0, and even then it was by luck.
Beat this game some many times on ps2. On one file I have all my characters max at 255 and hp 99999. But there was no overwhelming hard boss. Now there's dark aeons and I'm burnt out from grinding that much again lol
"This game is the most luck-based of all the minigames" in regards to Chocobo Catcher It's barely luck-based at all, once you know that there are only so many balloon formations and where birds spawn from. The fact that long-time players can always get below 0 in just a few attempts is proof it's far less "luck-based" and more based on preparation, knowledge, and skill.
Guys if you forgot to pick up the sun crest. Don’t panic go fight bahamut. Use yojimbo and pay him 1024. This will always make him do zamanto instant death your welcome
Lulu’s, Kimahri’s and Tidus’ celestial weapons are too much for me to handle 😂 never got Lulu’s or Kimahri’s ever. Got Tidus’ once in a playthrough and told myself NEVER again 😂
I genuinely don't think there's been a more enjoyable game in history. It's aged like a fine wine and anyone who's played the game keeps coming back to it over 20 years later. Square absolutely peaked here and there hasn't been a final fantasy game that slaps like this does. 12 was fantastic but not as good as 10.
I just found this and I realized I've probably sold one of those weapon/ treasure? Wondering if that affects, if so, it'll be an interesting one to go back to those temples and fight the dark aeons... 🤣🤣
Meanwhile, people commenting about Blitzball. I'm here on another playthrough.... Rikku, Wakka, Auron, Yuna completely done. Tidus has only a Crest. Zero Caladbolg.
This is the one in remiem temple right? Click the sphere on the ground by the chocobo on the left. You'll be able ride the chocobo on the right afterwards.
Such a great guide but Where was this guide 20 years ago... you can finish the game in 30 hours. but to acquire all the celestial weapon I played almost 200 hours running around, searching and testing. Dodging lightning for Lulu weapon was the hardest. I spent days and nights.
Yunas weapon and both items for it is the easiest to get out of em all. After getting that the game was doable but I really do want the other members so I csn do the dark aeons. Its just a shame I get a migraine trying 5o do he chocobo race xP

At this point save and go back in to blitzball. If the league doesn't have an overdrive or the sigil then quit without saving and try again. It will continually roll the prizes at this point so you can get everything in the least time possible.
I found out that bit of info which was a big towards wakkas sigial. and it's well worth the blitzball grinding. also once I got head round blitzball I pretty much enjoyed playing it
I reset data after getting auroch reels until i see sigil as prize. Progress wasted but what can i do 🤷🏻♂️
this is one of the greatest games of all time
Thank you for the wonderful in-depth guide. Getting everyones celestial weapons is something I've never done, and fully intend to do on my next playthrough. They really don't make games like this anymore.
My pleasure! And I appreciate your kind words! I hope it goes well on your next playthrough!!!
Good luck with wakkas. Doing it currently and it is time consuming
@@tripleaarcadeI'm in a similar place as OP. But I think Waka's will be easier than Tidus's. That Chocobo mini game is sooo frustrating.
Thank you for sharing this video. Caladbolg is such an amazing weapon. I’ve only ever had it once (on PS2), where the save corrupted literally the next day, after 750 hours.
you make it so easy but doing it yourself man is challenging but worth it thanks so much for going step by step to get the best weapons for our cast

It was 2008 - 2009 I last played FF X I was around 15 - 16 years old at that time. I was able to beat the game, but was not able to finish some side quest. I just replayed the game and I'm looking forward to complete the game and getting a platinum trophy. I appreciate for the tips. 😊
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW COME THIS MAN HAS ONLY 953 SUBSCRIBERS ?????? MAN YOU SHOULD HAVE SO MUCH KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thank you! I appreciate it :)
Lulu's Sigil was the most annoying because one blink from the lightning and you lose and have to start over.
I agree. It took me a long time T.T
It's the easier than Tidus or Kimahris. I got it done in one go. There's a trick you can do to make it super easy.
@@akadoublea8975 how?
@@theflashchannel3893crater trick google it
To me choco dodger was the worst. Lulu was doable and I did it but the frustration that came from choco dodger made me break many controllers
Soooo. I quickly blew through Besaid Temple and had to go back. Dark Valefor was waiting for me. I was hopelessly underpowered, but had Yojimbo. Zanmato. Ded.
I HATE that when you want to go back to explore some of the towns now you can't because of these stupid dark Aeons. Fuck that. I wanted to go to Besaid just to chill and BAM was shocked I was annihilated 99999 by this damn Valefor.
this is awesome, love your 99999/999 health n magic stats, i beat this game 2-3 since it came out ages ago and never got the celestial weapons for everyone.. wish i had time to do this :( glad to see it being done though.
When I play this game back in 2003 I didn't need a guide and now that I playing this for the second time why I need a guide 😂
I can't believe how difficult it was for me to complete this this task for the celestial weapons and grind for the correct rings ,it took me 2 gameplays just to learn and complete the Al bed alphabet just to run the 3rd gameplay without collecting the translation.
This on my 3rd gameplay, Next was certain areas to research on the sigils location I never knew was in my face . I'm subscribing just to watch the wonderful memories of these games I had difficulty with but thanks for the notes on the remastered version.
Edit : blitzball was so addictive I spent most of my time trynna perfect the strategy, hire the best offensive and defensive players throughout Spira and wanting to master as many skills on tech copy , loved this Mimi game .
Please convince me of why Blitzball is so awesome.
I really really loathe that game but I must play it to get Wakka's ultimate weapon.
The 200 lightning bolt thing was a breeze, but Blitzball...
Currently playing FF X again (my favourite FF together with IX) and I really want to get everyone's ultimate weapon. I usually skip Wakka's and Tidus'
@@mvl71 im still playing ffx untill now, in now at maxing stats and almost finish the game, actually i spend more time playing bliztball than the actual game, i hated it first because im struggling how it works and i cant win any single game, but after a few game and learning how the game works im starting to love it, actually my original aurochs team is level 99 including Wakka at Tidus
Blitzball was my fave part of the game. Never got to finish the game. 50k health left on Jecht last aeon in overdrive down to last 10k before I could heal any of them Jecht throw the final punch🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@heidihughes7013 I feel your pain as well on my 1st attempt before entering that Sir Jecht clash .
Glad the 2nd attempt was much easier but the 3rd attempt was to make them overpowered before losing my memory card with over 800hrs of grindset.
Yeah the best part was resetting the blitz teams to default just make the game more entertaining and for the rewards
It absolutely blown my mind that you're channel doesn't have more views. Your videos are so polished and well structured. Thanks for allotting so much time to making this ace content boss, hope you're having a top tier day! ✨
Thank you very much! Means a lot! :)
@@UG_Commentary Seriously man. I already knew how to get most of them, but I watched the full video because of how well structured it was! Keep it up :)
How nice to hear someone talk so clean and correctly!! Very refreshing to not get annoyed by butchered english together with some kind of- or several speak impedaments...
Impediments*
@@felixvelez2354 Im sorry, english is not my main language; im swedish.
this game really is something.. so complicated easter eggs..
first timer will never get all those celestial weapons
This is one of the best videos I've seen on the Final Fantasy weapons! Thanks for the effort in making this video (from one Content Creator to another) - I subscribed because of this video. 😁👍
Just to reiterate the time on the balloon race has to be below 0.0. Back when I had this on the PS2 I got a time of 39.0 and 13 balloons for a time of exacly 0.0, it didn't count. There was much fury that day.
How on EARTH do you go through a race at 0 sec? Do the balloons subtract time for you???
@@CJTranceAddictionyeah 3 secs per balloon and birds I believe add 3 sec and the stun. It’s a very infuriating mini game
I just bought the X / X2 HD Remaster from steam for $11 and I was really surprised at how great it looks and plays today. I jacked all the in game graphics settings to max, bumped up the gpu settings for the game to max, and the resolution can go up to whatever your monitor is so I am playing it on a 2k monitor and it looks like it could have been a relatively recent game and not something I played as a child.
If you are trying to absolutely break the game.
blitzball is the way at the cost of hours of grinding spheres and materials as rewards
dark matter, teleport spheres, return spheres, all the most powerful options for weapon and armor customizations are offered as prizes in blitzball.
I've been playing this game ever since it came out and I've only been able to dodge 200 lightning bolts one time on my ps2.
I haven't played this game in YEARS and this video just brought back so much PTSD from grinding these out when i was a kid. I don't think i even was able to fully power up them all. I specifically remeber having to dodge those stupid lightning bolts and having to play so. much. blitzball.
Thank you so much. I am starting FFX over again. I aiming for 100% percent.
How's it going?
Only a true psychopath enjoys blitzball.
its fun after higher levels and getting the 2nd jecht shot, you are unstoppable
😄💀
Fuck. You caught me
Afraid of balls?
I hate it cause I just don't get it.
underrated channel, WHAT A GREAT GUIDE!
The early 2000s we’re a different time, I remember when this game first came out on ps2 I bought it along with the strategy guide and I found everything in the game easily, new games don’t Even have them anymore
My favorite game of all time, made me fall in love with jrpgs.....but goddamn I was NOT maxing some of these weapons
This game makes me miss the early 2000s. Something about the video's thumbnail triggered these feelings, heh.
Awesome video! Thanks for the effort you put into this video, this is really going to help me get all weapons this time round. I'm playing the remastered version on ps5 now and I first played this on my brother's ps2 back in the day when this game got me so addicted (it's still one of my all time favorite games). Now with your guidance I can finally get every characters weapon!
Thank you for the kind words! Good luck my friend! Happy to answer any question I can! :)
I played FFX back in 2001 and got Yuna, Rikku, Auron, and Kimahri’s CWs (with a bit of struggling on butterflies but otherwise easy.) I TRIED the whole chocobo thing but hours later i was just frustrated beyond belief! Same with lightning dodging, and I didn’t even try Wakka 😹😹😅 I have never gotten those three’s CW. And I don’t think I ever will. Games are supposed to be enjoyable and I refuse to do unpleasant grueling tasks for hours and hours. I’m playing on the Switch now, trying to gear up for Dark Aeons for the first time (as I only played an original PS2 copy ever) and I only got Yuna, Auron and Rikki’s CW! They are my dream team and are currently stat maxing in the Monster Arena. I might give them each of their minigames another attempt but it’s just so miserable!
In case it helps anyone. You don’t need to play an entire blitzball league or reset data to get new prizes. As long as you haven’t played any games in the new league all you have to do is a soft reset and you will get new prizes.
--So...from what reviewed on this guide for ultimate/celestial weapons, Wakka, Kimahri, and theoretically, Auron, can have fully powered celestial weapons before the Yunalesca fight. Wakka being the the technical earliest of them all and you can get Attack reels in the process. Basically the character with the best ultimate attack and being the technical earliest to have a fully powered celestial weapon. For Auron I'm not sure if you can back track on foot to fully power his.--
--Tldr: Wakka, Kimahri, and Auron can technically have fully powered ultimate/celestial weapons before the Yunalesca fight. Not sure for Auron though as I don't know if you can't backtrack for him after the second Seymour fight after getting the Rusty Sword. But definitely you can try for Wakka the (technical) earliest and Kimahri as second before Yunalesca.--
--Edit: For Wakka...yeah I just reviewed the video on Wakka. Yeah...needing for him to participate in battles for his ultimate attacks in Blitzball is going to be tedious. But if you have the patience to count each random encounters to up to 450-500 before passing the Mi'hen Highroad, then you're basically guaranteed to on your way to get Wakka fully powered during the Calm Lands section. Kimahri would be the second. Good thing I have the patience since I'm a shiny hunter in Pokemon. That and just in general of knowing what I want.--
--Edit: Nvm. Wakka needs the mirror to get his weapon. So basically Kimahri is technically the earliest for convenience of back tracking back to the forest to power up his Celestial weapon.--
Edit 2/4/2022: Okay so basically you can't get Kimahri's Celestial weapon early enough. After the airship you can try for the sigil appearently. So basically you can't get anyone's ultimate weapon early. Tried back tracking to Luca, but can't pass Guadosalam due to story events at that point. So Farming Dark Yojimbo is the only way to get Dark Matters (easily) if you want to have Limit Break damage gear before Seymour and all the way through Yunalesca. Somehow.
After this, I just need Lulu. I literally did 198 and got zapped. I dunno what’s worse, Tidus, or Lulu. Mini-games my ass 😂
Thankfully if you exploit Yojimbos hidden Zanmato mechanic then dark aeons aren’t a problem if you can’t wait to beat them more legitimately.
I had to do this my first playthrough to beat dark shiva lol. Good ol' Yojimbo
I actually LIKED playing blitzball in this game. After getting a few key players and passing the ball to Tidus ALOT, he becomes very powerful and pretty unstoppable. I send Tidus and the mid 3 in, pass to a good passer in the back, when Tidus gets to goal, pass to him, jecht shot and GOOOOOOOAL! Rinse and repeat
The best way to get wakka sigil is to finish a League then select back. Save game and try to rest for sigil to appear in prizes... If you select continue after league finishes. You will be stuck with prizes for whole season. If you found the sigil, select cancel and save game.
4:00 (5:00), 6:00 (6:30), (13:00), (16:30 - 17:00), [[18:00]] (19:17), (21:00 - 22:40), 23:00 (24:40)
can be acquired before your 1st trip to the top of Mt Gagazet, btw. (No airship required!)
Don't be a slacker or stupid; in some cases, this will ruin your game if you don't get the work done early. (3) celestrial weapons can be acquired: Tidus, Yuna, and Kimahri, but traveling back to before Guadosalom is impossible (story reasons, traitor!) or blocked by progression of a questline like "become a hero by clearing your name with a Maester on a holy mountain" and killing a villain for the third time (groan).
I still play this game even today
The chocobo training is what keeps me from coming back and grinding this game. I don't have the patience for all the rng.
You get the hang of it. I can use get both the 5 chests and 0:00 within a hour or so
Subscribed. Thank you for this!
I can't think you enough, thank you so much
From worst to easiest I'd say:
Butterflies [haven't finished it after endless tries will do in Remake]
Blitzball [Spent 5 days with four 4 hour sessions and one 9 and 1/2 hour session.. yes..]
Chocobo Race [just don't use analog sticks]
Lightning Dodging [first tried this. Pause and take a break after 100 dodges to calm down then continue]
Just started a new game. Got everything done 10yrs ago. Lol
Let the grind begin
2024!!! Tryna do what I didn’t do back when I played this game 2007. 😅
God hand was the only weapon I ever unlocked. thus started my 20 year love affair with Rikku str build.
having done all the celestial weapons on the PS2 version of the game back in 2011 which them taking a good chuck of my complete 350 hour save file and also redoing them for HD remaster years after I can honestly say if I ever do them again on pc after doing a Final Fantasy Marathon whenever the pixel remasters of 4-6 come out on steam I will probably use a cheat engine or something because boy are these annoying to do.
I feel for you man. The monster capturing and Wakkas sigil alone would take you about 5-10 hours. Then you have the attempts with the sun sigil. Not to mention that if you miss a destruction sphere, you can't get anima yet. But personally I love the grind and have platinumed the game about 5 times now. Call me crazy 🤣
absolut bst guide out there
I played it on ps2 back in the day. Got some of the weapons. Tidus, lulu were the ones I really remember. Then 2-3 years ago I got them again. On a ps2 emulator. This time on the switch so far the best I got was 0.5 seconds on the race and I’m terrible at dodging lightning. And now since I missed it I guess a dark aeon is guarding the sun crest. Lol. Hopefully yojimbo will one shot him too.
Fantastic game. I’m playing through it again now. Just starting to capture monsters.
The worst part of not having grabbed the stuff in Yunalesca's lair right after beating her is that i don't even recall that being there. On my friggin screen at least i scanned the area, only thing i found was somewhere that teleported me accross the screen...
"For the love of God please get the crest before leaving"😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hilarious but sooooooooooooooooooooooo true.
20 years as of yesterday in think (at least in eu) and I’m about to finish it again in my switch
Unless it's been changed from the original PS2 version of FFX, it would have been worth mentioning that while missing the Besaid and Macalania destruct spheres is definately bad, missing the one at Bevelle is worse - since you can't go back to the Bevelle Temple if you miss it
Destruction sphere in bevelle in unmissable
@@kazumi1315 true. The chest with the spear in it is not. And if you don't get it, you don't get Anima
@@ryanball8944 nope, the spear that you get in bevelle is not the destruction sphere chest, the one is the HP Sphere if i remember, the spear is optional if you dont get it you still have the destruction sphere in bevelle
@@kazumi1315 you sure? I've failed to get Anima before because of the Bevelle chest, and I'm sure I didn't miss the HP Sphere chest... I could be wrong about that. If the spear has no bearing on Anima, then I'm happy to miss it - the only useful spear for him in my playthroughs is the Halberd from Djose with the +20% Magic lol
@@ryanball8944 yup, thats why the destruction sphere in bevelle is unmissable, unlike all the cloister trial, its literally the chest is in the way before you leave the place
im here to appreciate a FFX content. thank you
Just started playing again gonna save this for later
I usually just get Yuna, Auron, Rikku, and Wakka in terms of celestial weapons. I can get Lulu and Kimahri but their sigils are a pain in the ass and not worth the hassle IMO. Tidus I don't use post-Zanarkand. Wakka already fills his role and then some.
I think you need to talk to a book on the counter in Rin's Travel Agency in Thunder Plains before you are able to start praying to the qactuar stones. I may be wrong though. The book might just be the in-game hint to what to do.
Tip: the chocobo race is impossible, don't waste your time
Lulu and Wakka might have to miss out lol. All they need is each other.
Lmaoooooo
I unfortunately have it on Xbox, so the names are different for the sigils, because THATs what apparently needed fixing. Not the chocobo race, not the lightning strikes, the NAMES.
played this game during my childhood, so many things i had no clue about it...trying to beat this game now 100% completion and 3 times ive reached on 170+ lighting dodges and i nearly threw my Nintendo switch 😪
10:17 I fucking love this song.
I hated going after the sun sigil. The damn chocobo wouldn’t respond the way I wanted it to. Even after figuring out the bird pattern to dodge, I kept missing balloons that should’ve been easy to get. Took me forever to get my time down to 0.0, and even then it was by luck.
i laughed so hard when he said "as soon as you finish that" for the chocobo balloon race
This was really Helpful Thanks
I'm going to do another playthrough of FFX again, and now I'm dredging it all over again LOL
I appreciate the awesome tips, but I really suck at my timing. Only one caught!
Yojimbo kills everything :D
Getting tidus sword is insane
Beat this game some many times on ps2. On one file I have all my characters max at 255 and hp 99999. But there was no overwhelming hard boss. Now there's dark aeons and I'm burnt out from grinding that much again lol
Did you never come across the dark aeons on ps2?
@@stormshadow631 unfortunately my version had no dark aeons
I only managed the three easy ones… Rikku, Auron and Yuna so far.
200 thunder bolts is crazy, but I’m gonna try on a free day 😂
"This game is the most luck-based of all the minigames" in regards to Chocobo Catcher
It's barely luck-based at all, once you know that there are only so many balloon formations and where birds spawn from. The fact that long-time players can always get below 0 in just a few attempts is proof it's far less "luck-based" and more based on preparation, knowledge, and skill.
That was very helpful thank you
Guys if you forgot to pick up the sun crest. Don’t panic go fight bahamut.
Use yojimbo and pay him 1024. This will always make him do zamanto instant death your welcome
Bro I fcked up not getting the Sun Crest when I was in Yunalescas room. 😂 when I went back to get it I wasn’t expecting to get 1 hit KO by Bahamut.
Lulu’s, Kimahri’s and Tidus’ celestial weapons are too much for me to handle 😂 never got Lulu’s or Kimahri’s ever. Got Tidus’ once in a playthrough and told myself NEVER again 😂
I genuinely don't think there's been a more enjoyable game in history. It's aged like a fine wine and anyone who's played the game keeps coming back to it over 20 years later. Square absolutely peaked here and there hasn't been a final fantasy game that slaps like this does. 12 was fantastic but not as good as 10.
FF7 is still better than FF10 and still has way more to do than even this game.
I just found this and I realized I've probably sold one of those weapon/ treasure? Wondering if that affects, if so, it'll be an interesting one to go back to those temples and fight the dark aeons... 🤣🤣
Meanwhile, people commenting about Blitzball. I'm here on another playthrough.... Rikku, Wakka, Auron, Yuna completely done. Tidus has only a Crest. Zero Caladbolg.
Once again thank you
The Chocobo just squawks, and there's no option to ride him.
This is the one in remiem temple right? Click the sphere on the ground by the chocobo on the left. You'll be able ride the chocobo on the right afterwards.
After 3 days trying for 2 hours about each. FINALLY GOT ITTTT 14 BALLOONS, NOO BIRDS 37.2 TIME
The weapons are great but ridiculoussly hard to get omg. I wanted to get tidus but I can't win the chocobo race too save my life
Im playing through this game right now and helping my 5 year old through it too. Gotta start young 😂
Such a great guide but Where was this guide 20 years ago... you can finish the game in 30 hours. but to acquire all the celestial weapon I played almost 200 hours running around, searching and testing. Dodging lightning for Lulu weapon was the hardest. I spent days and nights.
*sigh* of course i'm missing the besaid destruction sphere. i hate things like this in RPGS.
Yunas weapon and both items for it is the easiest to get out of em all. After getting that the game was doable but I really do want the other members so I csn do the dark aeons.
Its just a shame I get a migraine trying 5o do he chocobo race xP
I’m having troubles getting around the woman blocking the glow path in the makalania forest. Any advise?
I forgot the besaid destruction sphere but yojimbo 1 shot it so we're all good
