Board 8 > What the heck should I do in FFX once the world opens up

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got Yojimbo, and I'd like to get Anima as soon as I can but I feel like maybe I should level up more first or I dunno

Don't even remember how to get her

So lost right now
---

once the world opens up go to all the new areas and work on the Monster Arena if you're not going to beat the game right away
---

Do all of those minigames you probably half-assed then skipped along the way.
---

I did catch all the fiends in the calm lands to open up the monster arena, was working on Besaid then ran into dark valefor and died immediately so that was upsetting

Barely remember any minigames, probably cuz I half-assed and skipped them all
---

Go play blitzballl for 30 hours
---

I'd rather not play blitzball atm
---

Beat the game
---

go catch butterflies, dodge lightning, race chocobos, wildly search for new locations in the airship, and use these codes that it's stupid to find on your own to get treasures:

GODHAND
VICTORIOUS
MURASAME

Hey thanks for the passwords!

I went to mushroom rock and found a chest that wouldn't open sooo what's up with that

You need to get a key item first. It's somewhere in the Calm Lands
---

You can be more detailed with your spoilers, I don't wanna miss anything

Maybe I shoulda said spoilers in the topic title whoops
---

Aight. You need to do the chocobo training quest in the Calm Lands then go to the temple at the right side of the map (there are feathers on the ground you can use to jump). After you do stuff there head back to the woods and look around a bit. If you get stuck,

Yeah I just started the chocobo training and it's frustrating as fuck

I can't deal with this
---

the first three games aren't that bad

have fun getting a 0 time on the last event though
---

ugh

why you gotta be this way ffx
---

Get the remaining summons.

Don't bother with the celestial weapons other than Yuna's. They're way too much of a pain in the ass to get.
---

Definitely beat the game (or at least up to the point of no return which is a big pillar thing with a save point right outside of it, you'll know it when you see it) first if you want to maintain the challenge of the final boss

But beyond that the best things are getting all summons and then getting all the celestial weapons, but yeah most of them are tedious as hell
---

lol FFX doesn't "open up"
---

monster catching is the endgame

it absolutely does

maybe not in the sense that other games do but the endgame content is way more expansive than the main game's
---

You definitely missed out on a ton of stuff
---

yeah I obviously meant "open up" in relation to the rest of the game being linear

so I did the chocobo training, didn't get 0.00 time on the race but still won... why do I need to get 0.00 time then?

went to the temple and did a chocobo race down some spirals and got the cloudy mirror, at least that part was easy

It gives you the Sun Crest, which you need to power up Tidus's Celestial Weapon.

I really hope you found the Sun Sigil when you were in Zanarkand because if you didn't, you'll be in a bit of a tight spot.
---

Hmm, I coulda sworn I did get that after fighting Yunalesca but I don't see it in my inventory

oh well not like I'd have the patience to get that 0.00 chocobo race anyway so I'mma just say that's a lost cause for now

too focused on Anima atm
---

Did you get the treasure in every temple?
---

Pretty sure I did but not positive

and what's the point of Remiem temple and fighting Belgemine's aeons
---

You can get the Magus Sisters and the Moon Crest to power up Yuna's Celestial Weapon.
---

Well those are things I'm interested in

but now's a good time to voice my disappointment at there not being a water aeon, such a missed opportunity
---

Although Yojimbo just became my hero, immediately uses Zanmato after being summoned and one shots Bahamut

oh damn
---

leon screwed up - currently, you should have the Sun Crest in your key items. if you did, keep trying to get 0.0 on chocobo racing. if you didn't, throw your console in the trash.
---

yeah I was afraid I got Sigil/Crest backwards because I tend to do that a lot

I should have double checked but oh well
---

I knew he meant crest, which is what I responded to, I don't see it in my inventory

guess it's time to say bye to my ps4
---

uh excuse me

I defeated that fish cage boss at Baaj temple but it had Tidus imprisoned so it spat him back out and did a full 9999 damage to my whole team

so I watched it die and then got a game over

mother fucker

Wait so you can get the crest now then?
---

no that was against Belgemine
---

Apparently I'm missing the Djose and Zanarkand temple treasures

so how screwed am I now

You can just go get them again.
---

not sure if you have to beat a Dark Aeon in Djose's case but you can't get the Zanarkand treasure on your first visit anyway
---

I can't get back to Djose temple, the dudes there push me out cuz I'm a traitor

And are you telling me I have to beat dark Bahamut now in order to get Anima

no
---

oh right he's in Yunalesca's chamber

So how do I get back to Djose temple without those mooks harassing me
---

I wonder if you have to do the next storyline thing to make that happen.
---

do that lightning strike thing
---

That was my train of thought as well, guess I'll just get to the point of no return before I try doing anything else
---

I'd rather not do the lightning strike thing, my timing for that is awful

pretty sure there's a 0% chance of me getting Lulu's celestial weapon
---

Sin was easy enough

Sin's head is not at all easy enough

An instant game over attack is pretty fucking cheap imo

It's just a timer.
---

Right, I have 16 turns to beat him I think

Buuut I'm not strong enough to do that yet so I guess I'mma level up some more first
---

It's the most blatant stat gate in the game
---

Sin having the ability to OHKO you is pretty fair considering how much the game hypes up its power levels. That fight should have some tension to it.

unless you've been power leveling but yeah
