Listening to this ASMR video while grinding One-Eye for Triple AP weapons.

I fuckin love ASMR vids

Fuck grinding One Eye.

Dunno how you can do it, Demi. Snoresville, dude.

demi · « **Reply #602 on:** May 07, 2014, 11:10:35 PM »

Its actually gone pretty quickly. I just need a Lulu weapon. All my weapons are 3 slot as well (Triple AP + Overdrive > AP + Triple Overdrive) except Auron's. So I might get lucky and get a 3 slot for him.

Himu · « **Reply #603 on:** May 07, 2014, 11:12:49 PM »

Nice. How'd you get powerful enough to take out One Eye so fast? Are you on standard grid or did you grind Omega/Sin?

demi · « **Reply #604 on:** May 07, 2014, 11:18:17 PM »

Yuna w/ Overdrive Anima

Paid off O'aka's debt.

Now buying Phoenix Downs from him and selling them to Barkeep for a profit. This is gonna get boring real quick.

demi · « **Reply #607 on:** May 08, 2014, 12:28:45 AM »

Got my Lulu weapon. Now I need to get Winning Formulas, which you can get at the Remiem race, but unsure if its a repeatable prize.

THEN ITS TIME TO GRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND

Himu · « **Reply #608 on:** May 08, 2014, 12:32:21 AM »

i think you can only get it once but don't quote me on that.

You can bribe them from sand worms for about a bajillion gil

demi · « **Reply #610 on:** May 08, 2014, 10:22:37 AM »

I'll probably just not worry about it, I need that precious money for my Zanmato feeding. Which, btw, I used on Dark Valefor YES.

Only cost me 300,000 but I was just trying to get a reaction since I wanted my shit from Besaid.

Himu · « **Reply #611 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:36:01 AM »

Money is easy Demi. Are you having trouble with money?

You don't really need to give Yojimbo that much Gil.

nachobro · « **Reply #612 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:36:54 AM »

I was giving like 15k and getting Zanmatos

demi · « **Reply #613 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:40:30 AM »

I dont have the patience for resets. I'm getting dat plat. Bow before the FFX master.

Himu · « **Reply #614 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:42:56 AM »

I am playing for plat too. I beat the game and I'm taking a break before I get back to it.

Have you ran out of power spheres? One problem I had when I had a shit ton of levels was that I ran out of power spheres fast despite having 99.

demi · « **Reply #615 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:44:07 AM »

I havent started Sphere Grids yet, but I read you just pop a Distiller on Kottos and overkill him.

demi · « **Reply #616 on:** May 09, 2014, 12:35:00 AM »

Oh god what did I sign up for. Sphere Grids...

Himu · « **Reply #617 on:** May 09, 2014, 01:09:12 AM »

Yeah, you have to fill in every single node. This includes filling in empty nodes with something like a power node or health node or something. And then clear the entire grid with every character.

In order to get the sphere grid achievement.

Good luck doing that on standard grid! It's bullshit.

Himu · « **Reply #618 on:** May 09, 2014, 02:09:26 AM »

Demi:

Making gil the easy way.

Go to Kilika and buy Tetra armor. Doesn't matter what. Just buy a bunch of Tetra Shields.

After you clear Besaid island of monster capturin', you get 99 stamina tonics. Just buy a bunch of Tetra Shields and put a stamina tonic on each shield. They'll sell 30k a pop. I got near 3 million gill in a few minutes doing this and I've still got 78 stamina tonics left.

demi · « **Reply #619 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:59:59 AM »

I read about that trick as well - money isnt an issue at the moment. I make enough selling the item drops from the Arena to offset any bribing I do.

Sphere Grid will go smoother once I fill in all the nodes. I grabbed about 40 STR, 32 DEF, 90MDEF (due to One-Eye farming of course)... need to grab some AGL and most importantly, Luck.

HEY GUYS,

I own FFX and FFX-2 for PS2 but I never played them. Truth is I tried playing FFX when it first came out but I was really put off by it at the time and didn't give it a fair shake. Should I play the originals since I already own them or plunk down cash for this new HD version?

demi · « **Reply #621 on:** May 09, 2014, 10:13:53 AM »

Hey dude,

You will be fine with the Originals, since International doesnt fuck with the main games any. It's all extra add-ons.

Himu · « **Reply #622 on:** May 09, 2014, 11:33:55 AM »

Disagree. International versions add bonus content that make them far superior to the originals. Also X-2 International has loads of new content. Just get the hd collection. More content, more fun.

demi · « **Reply #623 on:** May 09, 2014, 11:41:17 AM »

If you're not much of a JRPG person, the international games wont do much to convince you otherwise.

I'm not arguing that they arent superior versions, but if someone owns the original and has to ask themselves if its worth a buy, I would tell them to not beat themselves up over it. The main story content is largely the same. Everything is extras - great for diehards or fans.

Himu · « **Reply #624 on:** May 09, 2014, 11:42:37 AM »

True.

but on the other hand, upgraded visuals and audio.

nachobro · « **Reply #625 on:** May 09, 2014, 12:37:55 PM »

X-2 HD looks really good, better than I was expecting. Well the main characters look really good.

I haven't even dug into the Creature Creator or whatever it's called yet. X-2 seems to just have a shitload of extra content. But if you don't care about the extra stuff I would just stick with the PS2 version.

Freyj · « **Reply #626 on:** May 09, 2014, 07:38:11 PM »

Having not played X-2 since it's release, I didn't recall how much of a buzzkill the % system is. Amazing Battle System that's hidden behind shitty minigames most of the time.

Himu · « **Reply #627 on:** May 09, 2014, 07:39:28 PM »

Don't worry about the percentage. Just enjoy the game.

demi · « **Reply #628 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:06:31 PM »

Here's my plan:

- Set up 3 char to take on Dark Aeons (Yojimbo in particular)
- Slap the fuck out of Dark Aeons + Penance w/ Zanmato
- Finish Monster Arena and slap the fuck out of Nemesis
- Clear Luck Spheres, Replace with MP Sphere
- Grinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd

Himu · « **Reply #629 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:17:18 PM »

Sounds like a good plan. What dark aeon are you going for next?

demi · « **Reply #630 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:26:59 PM »

I'd like to take care of Yojimbo first, since he's really the only one that requires you to actually fight.

Are you just following the Hotspots?

demi · « **Reply #635 on:** May 10, 2014, 01:23:58 AM »

Zanmato'd Nemesis cuz thats how players roll

demi · « **Reply #636 on:** May 10, 2014, 11:03:41 AM »

Earth Eater farming is the worst part, since you cant Distill Luck, and the "best" method is kinda monotonous (I'd rather mash A).

Loner Tidus -> Slice and Dice (x3-4)

All for 2 spheres, times 3 persons... roughly 60 spheres or so total (30 battles - thats if you dont get a Dark Matter instead).

I'm putting my Luck around 120, thats supposed to be enough to hit Dark Yojimbo consistently (even with Luck Skill x 5).

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #637 on:** May 10, 2014, 01:05:41 PM »

I had no idead Zanmato would work on the final boss, I was expecting it to say Immune or Miss but it actually worked. If i knew it worked on bosses I would've gone after some of the Dark Aeons.

demi · « **Reply #638 on:** May 10, 2014, 01:23:53 PM »

Theres no point in fighting dark aeons unless youre going all the way, really

zanmato works even on the super secret final boss that you unlock after defeating all of the dark aeons though you have to pay him a ridiculous amount of money to trigger it

X-2s list looks much more manageable, the only standout being the monster bestiary

zanmato is really cheap though and takes the enjoyment out of the tough bosses.

It's just spamming Quick Hit, at that point. Why do all that when I can pay some cash and get it done for me?

Himu · « **Reply #647 on:** May 10, 2014, 03:09:09 PM »

Demi why all the luck spheres? Higher zanmato chance?

demi · « **Reply #648 on:** May 10, 2014, 03:15:09 PM »

Because you will whiff against Dark Aeons when trying to attack.

While you could Zanmato Yojimbo, the chances of 5 in a row are super high.

Himu · « **Reply #649 on:** May 10, 2014, 03:33:47 PM »

Wouldn't speed spheres be better for that than luck?

demi · « **Reply #650 on:** May 10, 2014, 03:46:25 PM »

Accuracy? It might help, I maxed it out anyway.

I can beat Yojimbo, but he did a Wakizashi that nuked my party. I will have to start each fight with Auto Life first.

It wont be that bad, I think. Practically all the hard work is done. I just need to use Kottos for getting spheres, and Don Tonberry for Levels.

Nobody has to fight anything. It would go much smoother if I didnt have to navigate so many menus just to activate nodes.

Got all the towers calibrated! But I guess I only needed half of them to get the garment grid?
