I think I've been on this self confirming circle with Kimahri, because since I've used him more, he has gained more AP = S.LVL which means he's grown faster.
I also figured I haven't put him through Auron's grid (yet) he's just been randomly jumping around the little grids, earning a lot of HP. That being said, Wakka is the one with the most HP now, so maybe it's just a matter of time before Kimahri becomes less useful.
The equivalent monster ability in VI I guess is Relm's 'Sketch'? Which made my emulator bug and freeze so often I gave up trying to learn how to use it properly.

Yeah but defense = physical defense, right? Magical defense = magic defense. But HP helps with both (right?)
That's true. I've tried to switch out people in battle to get an even leveling, but I was nearly wiped out on the Lightning planes because I didn't pay attention and all of a sudden 2 of my guys were KO'd
So I had to decide to go for 'Rikku steal' or 'get AP for all'. I mostly did the first as I just have the suspicion it might be worth it.

The thunderplains are actually pretty hard, and probably the worst place in the game to start doing that. In my experience every time I've hit the thunder plains it has felt like there was a sudden ratcheting in the enemies difficulty. You kinda have to start out with it being even, or at least switch to make it even long before then, or else it's really a pain, after that point your weaker characters are all too weak to be useful.
EDIT: Almost forgot...yeah you're right, both defenses make a difference. I forgot ffx separated them, for some reason I thought that they were the same in that one.

Picked Auron. Lulu was awesome but I really felt horrible when you learn Auron's story and he was an all around bad-ass.
Omg this so much. I hated when Yuna went missing in FFX because she was my healer and I had no potions or other healing items at the time. She was the most important character there each game and then she just has to leave. No Yuna... stay. >:
Never used Kimahri sorry, he just wasn't that interesting.

I remember getting towards the end of VI - and the party split. I had to walk up and down a fucking hallway for three hours or something to encounter random battles to level up Edgar because he wasn't doing anything useful at all, he was just constantly KO'ed because he was like 20 levels behind the rest >_<
Of course once I got going I kept going and when I was done he was hitting for like 20 000 damage or something XD

One of the few things XIII did right, splitting your party from the start and ensuring you had to develop each team to progress through the game.

^ IX was good at that too. The first time I recall being able to freely choose from all the available characters was on the Blue Narciss, on disc three - and that only lasts for a moment before the party is separated again, with half going to Oeilvert and half staying at the Desert Palace.
Anyway, favourite FFX character. It's between Auron and Rikku for me, which is kinda funny as their personalities are so diametrically opposed. I suppose I have to give it to Auron in the end, though I do think the developers tried a little too hard to make him cool.

Why was Edgar so far behind ? Please don't tell me you don't like Edgar !! ;___;
You didn't get his drill or chainsaw ? xD

I can't remember if I had both or just one of them -- I think I had just one of them (drill, is it, that comes first? My memory isn't that good.) Anyway his strength wasn't up there with the rest, so even if they are good phys attacks, they didn't really do much damage. Until I leveld him up like hell.
I also had this amazing thing going on with Relm where I made her practically immortal, but I can't remember the combo.
Anyway this should be in that other thread I think...

You know, had I answered this question a decade ago, my response would have been very, VERY different. In all actuality, I probably would’ve gone out of my way to discredit, devalue, and for lack of a better phrase, talk trash about Tidus. Of course, ten years ago I was in my mid-teens, and my outlook on life was vastly different. Back then, Tidus stood for everything I disliked about a certain group people in high school, and I’m most sure I would have brought that to the forefront of my discussion.
However, I’m no longer a teenager, nor do I carry with me the same attitude, stereotypes, resentment, and perspective about, what I would have referred to back then as, “jocks.” Now, I can appreciate and understand Tidus’ character on a much more humanistic level, without being clouded by my own personal judgments. I, now, defy my old self, and put Tidus at the top of my favorites list in terms of characters from X, for a few particular, but significant, reasons.
Firstly, I view Tidus as such a great character because of something I used to despise – his naivety. Not only is it charming, though somewhat annoying at first, it is used to move the story forward with a unique sense of elegance and finesse. Moreover, because of this naïve characteristic, Tidus comes across as very empowering, optimistic, and even inspiring on some level. He is someone who is constantly trying to see the glass as being “half-full.” Whether that’s because he’s a genuinely positive person all-around, or because he innately lacks the awareness of certain key points and the deeper significance of a situation, he nonetheless motivates the group on various occasions to keep pressing forward, regardless of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that lay before them.
Not only does this naïve understanding of the world help instill confidence in his fellow compatriots, but it also allows him to possess an exclusive, and commendable, sense of empathy. This ultimately ties into Tidus’ amazing acts of altruism, and, as a result, gives us a character that is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others without desiring some sort of personal gain. His willingness to lend a helping hand, even if it means that some kind of harm may come to him, presents us with a truly selfless character whose wish to better those around him is uplifting, or at the very least admirable. It’s something that many Final Fantasy characters may possess to some degree, however, this quality is amplified in Tidus, due to how sincere his efforts are, and the expectations of receiving nothing in return.
This all is expertly crafted and extrapolated upon during the game’s defining moments when we find out about Tidus’ origins, and the stipulations put on his existence. This talked about naivety, and overall sense to do what’s right, is essentially jeopardized by these events. Though, while many other characters in the FF universe may have felt like the rug was pulled out from underneath them, Tidus ultimately took it in stride. He used this new found knowledge to make his remaining time better – making sure his life, and the impact of his actions, were meaningful to not only himself but to those around him. These events could have very well triggered something that turned him on his head, but instead, given the aforementioned qualities, Tidus recognizes his lack of control over certain elements of his life, and thereby takes control of the things that be changed and managed. Again, he uses this information to inspire himself, and the ones he has come to call friends.
Tl;dr – In the end, what starts out as Tidus’ weakest characteristic, is what eventually gives him the strength to go on and ultimately save the world. It is because of these discussed endearing qualities that I can now, without hesitation, call Tidus my favorite character from a game I never thought I would praise in the way I do today.
