I honestly don't remember how Wakka and Luzzu get along if Luzzu survives this battle, but I don't think there's much punching involved.

Luzzu doesn't survive, but it wasn't until my latest playthrough that I found out how badly he didn't survive. Dude got scissored in half by flying debris, and Gatta found the upper half before we see his freakout on the beach.

Edit: turns out whether Luzzu or Gatta survives depends on if you convince Gatta to go to the front lines. If you convince Gatta to go, he dies, otherwise it's Luzzu.

If you talk to Gatta twice and tell him he belongs on the frontline both times, he dies instead of Luzzu. It seemed like a huge dick move so I didn't do it

We've reached the point in the Dan & Grace LP Universe where even Grace stops watching. Some day Dan will give up too, but half-hour videos of Gooba& standing completely still will nonetheless be uploaded daily somehow.

based on the animation id guess it works by being complete impossible bullshit

on the other hand this game's about fighting sky whale dad by summoning dead people's souls as giant monsters, and the aforementioned shot is performed in a giant magic water globe, so vov

I'm an episode late saying this about that Blitzball game, but in case it wasn't obvious, the Ronso team has something of a theme among its players; they all have insanely high HP and Endurance. However, their swimming speed is very slow - and yes, swim speed is one of the stats that varies from player to player. Some players swim faster than others, allowing them to easily catch up to someone with the ball, or escape pursuers while holding it so they can pass or shoot without being intercepted.

Also, for those who don't remember, the Keeper's catch stat is randomized between 50% and 150% of the displayed stat when it comes to how much they actually subtract from the Shot when they defend. That Ronso Keeper really flubbed the defense against that not-Jecht shot. Skill took his Catch score up to 19... only for him to severely low-ball his defense. Also a reminder - you need to actually hit a button prompt when TechCopy is on-screen in order to learn the technique. It's not a passive, automatic thing. That's why no one learned anything.

I agree.

Heads up, if you haven't been past that point yet: When you're at the ice temple, you really want to make sure not to miss out on that reward with the destruction sphere. Honestly, that part is a bit of a dick move from the game.

Started playing this again, and I generally wish they'd give you a heads up when you're leaving the Cloister of Trials. The Besaid one I just straight up didn't realize I was done with it and walked into the fayth chamber. As soon as the loading screen finished it was just "poo poo, that's right, this is really short. Wonder when I can get back in here for the treasure."

e: VV thanks! I totally forgot you could get back on the ship and backtrack.

You actually can backtrack all the way to Besaid at this point in the story. I think it's possible after operation Mihen. That way it's possible to still get that thing in the temple. But after visiting Maccalania there's some inconvience involved.

Or if you just use Yuna in every fight. Aeons' stats are influenced by both Yuna's stats and the number of fights you have won. Whichever grants the larger bonus of the two is what'll affect an Aeon's stats.

To be fair, he also cared more about his travel buddies and seven year old Yuna than about Gooba&*. Poor guy must have missed his wife, though.
But I do like that there is a giant scar on the backside of that Shoopuff.

Nah, Sin Toxin is a real thing in that universe. You can speak with a bunch of randos who suffer from it. It's specifically triggered by getting close to Sin and not all the other traumatic happenstances of that world.
Honestly though, it's just written as a neat way to protect Gooba& from the consequences of his stupid actions.
"No wait! You can't execute him for that heresy. You see, he has lost all sense of morality and faith due to Sin's Toxin"
Also it makes the party members have a sort of valid reason why they need to explain to him basic concepts like monsters to him, without having them buy into this stupid story about Zanarkand.
It makes me a bit sad that you ignored that.

If nothing else, I feel like there was a missed opportunity to have Gooba& express some mild respect for the fact that the guy literally quit drinking on the spot after recognizing that he screwed up that bad. And stuck to it.
