Moment to this day sitting in front of my ps2 over 20 years ago I’ll never forget

Platinum #120

I decided to do this on my way to thunder plains to so lightning dodge

Wasn’t even farming for this just getting fiend capturing done (im a console player so i had to take a picture with my phone to post this)

So there really is no limit to these guys' stats.

You'd think they'd at least have sowed Seymour down a bit...

Im looking for a stat simulator (just crunching numbers)

my scenario is im doing a max stat on my orignal ntsc ps2 just for lols. Currently i have str, mag, mag def, defence at 255 and agility at 170.

If i go for acc and eva at 255 and want about 130 lck, mp to 999 how much will be my hp for each charcher

Her sigil I think is the worst to obtain. Not just in difficulty, that probably belongs to Tidus', but in mind numbing boredom. Sit for what, hours hitting the shift key. I got to 80 before I slipped up. I have zero intention of wasting any more time to get to 200....and for what? To unlock her damage cap for magic users that pretty much get phased out in end game?

This is meant as a serious question, to see if the problem lies in a single area or if there's multiple issues playing into the whole thing. Please comment below if, for how long and with what you've struggled.

Guys, I know we get these posts all the time, but I legitimately thought I would never be able to do this. I spent probably 5 hours last night working on it to no avail. Posting to share my experience as someone who is generally pretty bad at this sort of game (why I love the turn-based combat of FFX) but who managed to make this work within about a half hour after spending five minutes adjusting settings.

I'm playing HD remaster on PC connected to my TV primarily using an Xbox controller. Input lag was absolutely a problem for me.

I changed my TV to game mode and went into NVIDIA control panel to turn low latency mode to ON. Also went into my display settings to increase the refresh rate from 30 Hz to 60 Hz. This noticeably improved my ability to control the damn chocobo. (Others have previously posted about the supposedly errant movements and how this can improve its responsiveness to your commands.)

I also tried using my wireless keyboard instead of the Xbox controller. It only took me about 10 or so tries before I actually freaking got it. Fourteen balloons with one bird.

I could not have done this without everything people have posted here over the years. Seriously, the chocobo whisperer u/Quill386 and everyone who has commented their ideas and experiences - thank you guys. I literally studied this shit. I particularly found Quill's post about his 20 balloon zero bird run to be inspiring, especially his comment about the mental game:

>I pretended like I didn't even care how good I did, and psyched the game out

Here was how I mentally coped: I told myself, "It's time to play chocobo catcher. This is the game I play and it is the only game I own." I made every effort to forget about the outcome/goal of the Sun Sigil and just try to play the game, like I was back playing Pitfall or something on the Sega Genesis. "This is the game I play."

In case it helps anyone, this is sort of how I've tackled the lightning dodge as well. Counting to 200 just makes the pressure build. My solution? 1-2-3-4, two 2-3-4, three 2-3-4 and so on. It feels a lot less scary "counting to 50" than it does counting to 200. I also deliberately double count a few numbers here and there to build a little padding around so I don't know exactly how many I have, but I know I have a minimum of twenty 2-3-4 (meaning 80).

Guys, I really never thought I would ever be able to do this. If I can do it, anyone can.

By that i mean poison him, have yuna with stone proof, one dead party member and one alive one (preferably tidus for the lols) and once he’s within the hp range to spam break use provoke to force him to swap to it then have yuna esuna the petrified target and have shattering claw fail over and over again

So does the stat matter or does the weapon ability matter?

I know it is originally called Longinus. I am curious if the name is censored elsewhere besides the English-speaking world.

I've played this game so many times I know where everything is. Played it in all platforms. Now, I'm clearing it using an android emulator. I did get Wakka's Celestial weapons in some of my completionist runs but not once in all those playthroughs did I ever enjoy Blitzball. I don't exactly hate it. I i just find it very Tidus... I mean tedious. 😏😏

I was like 12, and I was able to discern that Tidus did the laugh intentionally to cheer up Yuna. The other guardians even acknowledged if they've gone crazy. Tidus and Yuna also laughed "normally" afterwards.

People aren't that actually dense in terms of context clues? It's not Inception levels of understanding, but people aren't actually that stupid, right?

For comparison, here's the ORIGINAL JAP:

Im currently at Bikanel outside of Al Bhed Home, i’ve grabbed any loot from npcs and chests so far, im planning on doing monster arena at calm lands and cotsf (2nd one so i can farm a no encounters armor for later)

Yunalesca is about to make me put my head through the wall 😂 I’ve been stuck on her fight for days and seeing if anyone else has better strats.

Anyone unfamiliar with the challenge it means no sphere grid, no overdrives, no customize, no summons, no blitzball, no escape, and no “no encounters”

So for phase one I can get Wakka, Khimari, and Tidus all buffed with protect, shell, haste, and double hp. I can push her phase two and get through that pretty consistently. Phase three I try to get Wakka, Tidus, and Khimari (who have zombie to dodge mega death) switched out. But whenever it gets phase 3 Khimari doesn’t get a turn before yunalesca and if he gets hit or goes down it ends the run. Super frustrating.

I wanted to see if anyone who has done this challenge or fight has any other strategies to try and make this fight a bit more manageable?

Just randomly got an 18gb update for X/X-2 remastered on Xbox. Does anyone know what it's for? I couldn't find patch notes anywhere

This comes mostly from a linguistic perspective, and it´s not really related to the game but to the question: "If the meaning of all the letters in the alphabet is mixed, how many do you need decipher to know the rest?" is something that popped up now that I´m replaying the game. During my first playthrough, I think I got about 16/17 dictionaries and managed to figure out the rest, but it is clearly not optimal.

Hey Guys, I'm working on reverse engineering FFX for the PS2 using REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) and I managed to completely do the VU1 interpreter so far. It can now go in-game and render most of the 3D with minor glitches and missing elements. At the pace I'm going, I should have a full port of the game done by the end of this week along with an installer/executable.

Here is a screenshot of Tidus on the initial scene from the beginning.

Let me know if any of you would play this!

Personally, I could never get over how the faces and more looked on the remaster versions. Maybe after I'm done with the port I can work on making HD textures, UI and more.

UPDATE 1: I've managed to fully fix the graphical errors, they were being caused by geometry timing and overlapping. I also ran into codec issue due to how the PS2 used to launch and play cutscenes but that is also fixed. The furthest I've gotten to is the First Fight with Auron on the Bridge and my game hangs. I'll do a deeper dive and after that everything else should be way easier to port. https://imgur.com/a/HJ460ck

EDIT: The video quality was reduced by Reddit so the difference in sharpness cannot really be seen. This video is only useful for seeing the difference in lighting. Obviously the Remaster is HD and the PS2 version is not, even using an emulator. Playing with a 60fps mod also massively improves the Remaster, but that is not shown here.

I'm brand new to video editing and wanted a practice project to get started and decided it would be on the differences between the PS2 version of Final Fantasy X and the PC Remaster version. I've only worked with the very beginning of the game, and that has taken me all day to learn the editing software, but I decided to share what I have so far in case anyone finds any of it interesting.

Obviously the Remaster version has a PS2-like Tidus mod installed, and I'm also playing and recording that version of the game in 60fps, but I'm guessing Reddit will change everything to 30fps. The PS2 version is played on PCSX2 emulator with models rendered at 1440p resolution (4x native).

All the audio is from the Remaster version.

I was shocked at how different the lighting was for Baaj Temple. I don't think the whole game is like that, but I look forward to finding out.

Does anyone know if a lighting mod would even be a possibility?

Again, I'm brand new at video editing and did this just for practice, so forgive how amatuer it looks.

Any tips or suggestions?…

I did a quick loop around his sphere grid then went onto wakkas and he has been going strong. The utility of wakka (blind, silence etc) with piercing weapons has been great. I also used the only skill sphere I picked up to grab steal so I have a thief for the ronso brothers. I could have also sent him down aurons path but as I wanted to send rikku down there with the sphere I won in blitzball I didn't want 3 people on that path. Hes played mostly like a faster auron for the majority of the game, now I'm about 2/3 through wakkas grid he's becoming accurate enough to hit the doggy's.

I am also playing a challenge of only use 3 characters per battle, can swap at start to reconfigure but that's it. Maybe the versatility helps. Even so if I had sent him down aurons he woulda been a much quicker auron from the getgo. His starting atrength wasn't much short of aurons either.
