Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster [PS3/PS4/Vita]

[lithiumkatana17]

Plz Lord Shad, try not to rage too much about X-2... for me.

 

[Shademp]

Dammit lith you just had to use your big eyes on me you know I can't resist those </3

 

[Ami]

Sphere Break is probly the only FF mini game that I'm actually good at. Fucking Blitzball.

I'm the complete opposite. Loathe sphere break, but an ace at blitzball.

 

[Tetsujin]

If my memory serves me correctly, all the pieces you see on the screen belong to you, the player. You are essentially playing solitaire and then deciding that upon completing this perfectly SOLITARY game you have somehow beaten an opponent.

Yeah this always confused me. How the fuck am I playing "against" anyone? Are they the one arranging the coins for me or what?

Anyway, when I played the HD version I just downloaded an app for Sphere Break.

 

[ForceStealer]

I just didn't play it again

X-2 gets kudos from me for being the first FF since VII to make a meaningful attempt at numerous minigames. But then it loses said kudos by making them all suck

wait wat

wat is this 'app' you speak of?

 

[Tetsujin]

There was a calculator for Sphere Break that I found on the web. I don't remember where I got it from though so Google shall be your best friend.

You mean like, to use while you play the game? So you can win all the things?

 

[Marcus]

There are many calculators out there to use while playing the game, I'm not sure how effective they will be though as they require you to manually type in the numbers on all of the spheres in order to come up with however many chains you want. I can imagine doing that with a 60 second timer or 45 second when playing Shinra can get a bit time consuming.

Your opponent provides the core sphere you're trying to "break."

I know, it still doesn't make any fucking sense.

 

[Flintlock]

I've never actually played Sphere Break - my tolerance for X-2 hasn't been high enough to reach that point of the game - but I'd just like to say that it is almost impossible to be bad at Blitzball. It's barely even a game of skill. Sure, you might lose some games, but that will be because the other team (usually the Psyches) has better players or gets lucky - every interaction in the game has a ±50% random element to it. But the AI is so dumb that you can't possibly be worse. Even if you have no idea what you're doing, just get Tidus the ball, pull of a Jecht shot, score, and then hide the ball behind your own goalkeeper for the rest of the match so you win 1-0.

How DARE you. Monkey Mating is a brilliant minigame.

 

[Tennyo]

I thoroughly enjoyed the monkey mini game. Spherebreak was also quite fun.

 

[ForceStealer]

I don't think monkey matchmaking qualifies as a minigame, that's just a side quest. A minigame requires separate mechanics from the actual game.

 

[Tetsujin]

I don't think monkey matchmaker qualifies as a monogamy

Yeah they just fuck like crazy

Spoiler

I saw that edit

 

[ForceStealer]

Banned.

 

[Tennyo]

Well whatever it was, it was enjoyable.

 

[Channy]

I liked it

Bout to pick up the controller and play more today since school was cancelled.

Currently I'm 10 hours, 33 minutes in, at the Bikanel Desert, and at 20% completion.

I'm actually quite proud of my progress so far, particularly with my dresspheres. Yuna's Gunner sphere is at 42%, with Songstress at 21% and Festivalist at 20%; Rikku's Thief sphere is at 38%, with White Mage at 34% and Festivalist at 25%; Paine's Warrior sphere is at 42%, with Black Mage at 39% and Festivalist only at 15%.

I don't remember making such good dressphere progress in the past, but it's been a good while since I last played.

 

[trash panda]

I just bought this todayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I got ripped off. Gamestop was selling it used for PS4 for $33. I told them it's on the SE store for $27 right now, so what gives. How the F do they stay in business. It can't be thanks to people like me because that's the first time I walked into a store and bought a new or used game since...I can't remember....FFXII maybe?

Anyway, SE store shipping is $8 (IIRC) and I don't want to wait for it. I has a sphere grid to conquer.

 

[Flintlock]

Gamestop sells tons of used games for more than they cost new. It's one reason I don't shop there any more.

(Another reason is Steam sales, heh.)

 

[lithiumkatana17]

Ugh, I finished Chapter 1 and now I'm in Besaid and...

I've always been retarded at this game, but I absolutely hate the Gunner's Gauntlet.

There's a trick to that.

It's funny that posted that, because after watching that video and a few others, I actually BEAT Beclem's score on my 2nd or 3rd try after going with that method, with 2 minutes to spare!!

I literally started doing the happy dance.
