i think only kimarhi can jump sphere grids without high level keyspheres or teleport spheres. being underleveled is surprisingly brutal because node quality starts going way up, and it's hard to suss out if you're over or underleveled just from looking at the sphere grid. the difficulty starts to ramp up after shiva, and skyrocket once you get to gagazet though. it's when the game gets crazy fun

that's in the original US release, the HD remakes use the newer sphere grid that's a little more open. FAQs used to call it the "international sphere grid," i think because the european versions released with it.

you gotta choose it i think, my replay of the HD version was the same as the ps2.

you can choose between "expert" and "standard" sphere grid in this version and i have no idea what i chose lol

e: looked it up im pretty sure i chose standard

i'm pretty confident you did, the expert version looks completely psychotic and you have to go out of your way to select it.

looking it up bicyclops is right, the standard sphere grid is expanded for the hd/international version, but it's just some extra nodes and paths, not any major changes in progression. the expert starts you in the center like khimari for every character.

in conclusion, you cannot gently caress up the sphere grid except for khimari but the devs already did that by making him terrible. Except you can use him to get rikku's steal and use since she's such a latecomer but he doesnt have mix so he ends up collecting cobwebs.

lmao well i started a fight against one of the dark aeons, where it got 3 turns in a row using thundaja doing 99999 damage each, pwning me instantly without me being able to move. might just move to x-2 lol.

i started up x-2 yesterday actually just to watch the intro cutscene before goin to sleep and holy poo poo the whiplash from the end of x to this is so sick lmfao.

hell yes welcome to ffx-2 it kicks rear end as well. the dark aeons are SUPER endgame stuff. they were added in the international release, so it's more like bonus content for the real freaks. They get more difficult in succession though, so you can do valefore with almost no tricks. the rest of the postgame ramps up far more organically, but the endgame is essentially prepping new equipment for every big fight which i kinda like tbh.

worth doing some postgame stuff just to see how broken rikku is imo

Are you on steam? You can fix the bad font by just renaming some files

Bicyclops posted:

yeah. i play on a couple of different laptops, though, will i need to rename the files on all of them?

Probably but it takes about 30 seconds. If you find the font files in t he local files you just move the en ones somewhere else, copy the jp ones and rename them to the en file name. There’s a short video guide on the community page, I’m not home rn so I can’t be too helpful

all you gotta do is slip the two en files into the aa folder for safekeeping, then copy the ja files and rename them en and you're done.

this is my first FF with a job system and it's cool. a lot of stuff right away and a pretty quick atb system is making random battles pretty hectic even at the start.

Ten years later, the Jecht Memorial Cup tournament is today! The two teams that have won through to the finals are, of course, the Abes from A-East, and the Duggles from C-South. I know there's a lot of people out there today to see the star of the Abes! In just one year, he's become the team's number one player! He's Jecht's blood, and the new hope of blitzball!

it's only the third worst mini-game, too. lightning bolts beats it out for pure tedium and the butterfly one is among the worst in any final fantasy game imo.

the lightning dodging game is the most fucekd up thing i've 3ever heard of in a final fantasy game lol at least that and the butterfly ones have items i've never once wanted. i only beat the chocobo race this time and i looked up a route to finally beat it
