| Level: 37 Advanced | As much as I want to get it (on Vita), I've too much of a backlog to work through (presently going through MoHun3U). I love FFX, as it has one of my favourite turn-based systems, and have certainly been awaiting this release. --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | My copy came just now. Holy fucking shit it's gorgeous. The vita screen continues to surprise me. You really wouldn't expect to get THAT quality of image out of a tiny ass screen like that. <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | ....... I WON THE BLITZBALL TOURNAMENT IN THE UPSET OF THE YEAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE. First half: I got the ball. Pass to Tidus, bait Abus by Breaking Through repeatedly for XP gains. Then, I go for Belegrade or whatever her name is, break through her, go to the goal. I shoot, GOAL. The leader passes to the black guy on their team. HE SHOOTS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE COURT AND GETS A GOAL. He got a goal with 1 shooting. Fucking cheating AI. I repeat my strategy above, and shoot. ONLY TO HAVE HIM CATCH IT 10 SHOOTING VS 8 CATCHING. It's passed to the black guy again. He shoots FROM THE NET and gets a goal with ZERO SHOOTING. First half ends. Score is 2-1. Load Tidus with Jecht Shot. Go straight for the goal. Shoot. The ball arrives at the goal with 13 shooting. Does it go in? HELL FUCKING NO. THEIR GOALIE CATCHES IT. It's passed to the black guy again. He shoots. Goal. 3-1. It's basically game over. I try again and try to goal again. Nothing. Passed to black guy again. 4-1. Wakka comes in. I rush for their goal. GOAL MOTHER FUCKER. WHAT? 4-2. I get the ball easily again. 4-3. WHAT!??! Get the ball a second time, now it's like, 30 seconds left I rush their goal with Wakka. I shoot from quarter way to the goal. FUCKING. GOAL. SCORE TIED 4-4 OVERTIME. I GET THE BALL. I PASS TO WAKKA. I BREAK THROUGH ABUS. I BREAK THROUGH BELEGRADE. I GET CLOSER. BREAK THROUGH BELEGRADE. VENOM SHOT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL I WON 4-5 AND I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE HOW I MANAGED TO PULL THIS OFF. <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Initial thoughts on FFX-2 - ...Where the fuck do I go? - The battle system is pretty good - I like the class system - Hah, Yuna in Warrior class uses Brotherhood and Tidus' battle win animation. - Black Mage Yuna is awful. - Paine is a terrible character and they should be ashamed for including her <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |

| Level: 37 Advanced | The combat/job system in X-2 is quite good. It's everything else I loathe. Anywho, I did end up picking this up out of weakness @_@ --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 37 Advanced | I've been at the final area for a while, but then started doing some arena, getting trophies, etc. I can easily end the game (presently Tidus has over 150 STR.), which I think I will, because maxing sphere grids and catching Fiends is becoming mind numbing... --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | 150 str? Jesus. I beat the game (For the trophy) LONG before that. And it was easy. I prefer to try and beat the game at a low level because fighting your own freaking aeons is a pain in the ass when they're maxed out. <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |

| Level: 37 Advanced | Oh I wasn't grinding for the final dungeon, I was just doing it for kicks (seriously dealing 99999 damage to Seymour Omnis and thus one-shotting him is freaking lulz). I figured I struggled enough against Braska's Final Aeon a decade ago, I said f*** it, and just wanted to focus on getting some trophies... But sphere grid maxing is so unbelievably boring. As a result, Auron and Yuna's celestial weapons are the only ones I haven't fully completed (haven't caught enough arena monsters, and still no Magus Sisters). And yeah, that's why I didn't level Yuna at all and decided to end it. I didn't want to deal with maxed stat Aeons. ... The Dark Aeons will be annoying enough (unless I say screw it and Yojimbo them all like I did with Dark Valefor). --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Yojimbo'ing the Dark Aeons is the silliest thing they allowed to be done. I appreciate that it's there because seriously fuck Dark Bahamut, but I always feel cheap if I do it on anyone else. Fuck Dark Anima too though. +++ "Enough is enough!

| Level: 37 Advanced | Yojimbo can basically Zanmato any enemy in the game (including Nemesis and Penance). It's partially luck based (along with all that other Yojimbo jazz), but it's effective. Cheap? Totally, but sometimes you just got say screw it. --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 37 Advanced | Only trophies I have left to plat FFX are collect the Jecht Spheres (which I oddly forgot to do, and will save for last), and fill in all the Sphere Grids... This latter one takes an annoyingly large ass amount of time. --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 37 Advanced | Filling out a single sphere grid takes a few hours. Filling out all seven... 10-15 hours of literally just activating nodes. --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 37 Advanced | I know =P Like I said, a single character alone takes several hours... If one goes for it, easiest method is fill out one character first (probably Tidus, or whoever gets 99999 damage from Don Tonberry for the AP Trick), then two at a time. Either way, it was a horribly brutal grind. Never playing the game again, lol --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Fuck Tidus. <_< I can't do the god damn chocobo race no matter how hard I try, so I haven't been able to create a BDL weapon for him yet. <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |

| Level: 37 Advanced | Getting less than 0.0 (as getting 0.0 exactly doesn't count) on Chocobo Catcher is incredibly tedious. That, and lightning dodging. --- SIEG ZEON, dood! |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | I've had 0.0 occur exactly 17 times in my many playthroughs of FFX. I've beaten 0.0 exactly twice. I haven't even gotten to that point yet due to my Blitzball obsession on the HD remake. I fucking hate Chocobos. Lightning Dodging isn't so bad if you abuse the crater to make the lightning hit. All you need is No Encounters and time. +++ "Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!" - TV Edited Snakes on a Plane |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | That was basically a giant middle finger. <_< Capturing monsters in L2 of the Omega Dungeon. I had 10/10 of all the rare monsters, except Great Malboros which was like, 9/10. My capture weapon set up is Tidus, Capture/Gillionaire Wakka, Capture/First Strike Yuna, Capture/First Strike I encounter 2 Defender Z's. So to save time, I switched to Yuna's Nirvana and used Ultima to nuke both. Forgetting to put Capture/First Strike weapon back <_< Yep... The very next enemy I encounter was a Great Malboro. <_< Wakka, being the only one with First Strike, also didn't have Flee <_< (Currently going down Tidus' path in reverse <_<) I try to escape on him, to try and salvage from a game over. NOPE CAN'T ESCAPE. Bad Breath Yuna is confused, Tidus and Wakka are berserked. Yuna smacks Tidus and kills him. Then she smacks Wakka and kills him. Then she smacked herself and killed herself. 3 hours of god damn work all gone -_- On the plus side, Wakka now has Flee <_< <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | I defeated the evil that is the Chocobo Trainer. It honestly took less effort than I really expected it to, taking maybe a total of 12ish runs after sitting down with the intent to make it happen. The run that ended up doing it was 12 balloons and 0 birds with a finishing time of around 35 seconds. I'm pleased enough to just be glad to not have to deal with her anymore. Next up is Lightning Dodging and Blitzball until I get Wakka's Sigil once I'm done Don Tonberry farming to get Tidus up to Wakka and Auron's strength levels and then I'll probably tackle Omega for the fun of it once I have the fully powered World Champion to go along with Caladbolg and Masamune. +++ "Enough is enough!

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Blitzball is the stupidly easy part. Just reset your data until a league or tournament pops up with the prize you want, and then go around gathering your players up. <-> http://www.backloggery.com/kodan882 |
