      We know our audience.
      You know that they all have the same baseline stats, right?

      If they were all the same level (which they NEVER are, by the way, they level up at slightly different rates), they would have EXACTLY the same stats.

      So really Paine is no more suited to be a physical attacker than Rikku or Yuna is.
      Okay, I don't care. That's not what the joke is about.

      Apologies for the mistake, kind sir.

      Anywho, are you guys going to stick with the current dresspheres for a bit, or swap things around a bit in your next installment?

      Aw, and I was keeping quiet about it too.

      But yeah, Festivalist, Trainer and Mascot are the only dresspheres where each girl actually has unique stats.

      We have changed them in every installment so far, and that will continue until the end of the game (ideally).

      Interesting. I had noticed that you'd been changing them every time so far, but I wasn't sure whether that was going to continue.

      That will probably mean that it'll be a long time before you unlock any of the best abilities for the dresspheres.

      To be fair, a lot of dresspheres don't really need a lot of their abilities though. The ones I remember off the top of my head you really want to invest a lot of AP into are Psychic, Mascot, Samurai, Berserker and Gunner. I suppose Trainer as well but I never use it. Most of the others get their quintessential abilities pretty quickly.

      If we are struggling, we'll be having secret off-screen grinding.

      But yeah, we had a fairly consistent viewer base with our FFX Let's Play, so we decided to get them (and the new viewers, obvs) a bit more involved. And with all these job choices (and our general incompetence at the game meaning that we'll be terrible anyway), this was the perfect way to make things interesting. ish.

      Guys, let's make sure we never vote for them to use Dark Knight or Alchemist.

      Let's Play Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster #4 - Disasterrific

      You see!? You see what happens when you let Shauna play video games? You see what happens when we let you choose the dresspheres (I know this is self-imposed, but so what!)? God damn

      Process faster!

      ...ah there we go.

      Edit: Well now that was an episode.

      I knew how things'd turn out as soon as you had the wonderful luck to run into that Tonberry. I've played this game, what, 10+ times and never ever encountered a Tonberry in this mission. Their AI is pretty hilariously transparent in always attacking the target that's the farthest away, too, which is why Rikku generally didn't get attacked till you messed up. Woulda been a lot easier too if you'd just used Cure on the whole party all the time instead of single-targeting you know.

      Good choice on learning the Sing abilities for the Songstress. Although learning it right when you were in the process of learning Sleepy Shuffle, the Dance that casually sleeps all enemies pretty much indefinitely, is pure win.

      I hate the Attack command in this game. Unlike EVERY OTHER COMMAND IN THE GAME(except for Psychic's Teleport) it doesn't give 1 AP when used properly. All other commands do give AP as long as you influence the battle in your favor in some form. Oh well, when Mug/Nab Gil roll around things suddenly go way better.

      I'm guessing you don't need new dresspheres for the next episode, since at this rate the rest of this mission is probably gonna take the entirety of it.

      That's seriously the biggest annoyance ever in that game. Each character has their own exp curve. I tend to kill off rikku and paine from time to time to let yuna catch up. That, or put her on lady luck.

      Wakka's scene is surprisingly touching.

      Shauna ruined the entire LP

      NO YAIBAL I DON'T REMEMBER YOU AS YOU'RE IN SOME RANDOM SIDE VIDEO SHUT UP YOUTH LEAGUE SUX

      The chocobos are definitely in a relationship.

      none of this is on me, I voted Warrior.

      You want more battles? No? Well... uh... You're gonna get them. This time we don't get side-tracked by a tonberry for 10 minutes? If that's any consolation? Also Maechen! Everyone loves that guy! He talks forever about such interesting things.

      The Shaunas also reminisce about last time they managed to get through Final Fantasy X-2, and their general failings at the game last time. Good to know that things never change, right?

      smurf Cat Nip.

      Stupid hand shaking choice having the affirmation as the bottom choice instead of the top choice. Made me go through this entire scene all over again when I played this game in Japanese (and couldn't read anything).

      Aww, there was a Garment Grid off the right cliff at the Youth League HQ, the map indicates it pretty obviously. Although I don't believe I've ever used it. Those status effect grids are pretty worthless, generally speaking. Oh well, the Heart of Flame GG you got is pretty handy. Free Fire absorption and quick Firaga if you happen to need it. In fact it would've completely trivialized the very mission you get it from. How cheeky.

      So what mission you doing next? My choice for dresspheres depends on that. Except that Yuna is obviously Songstress again.

      Episode 4:
      WHITE MAGE AND SONGSTRESS YOU DID THE THING
      But no Festivalist >
      I like in the HD version that their profile thingy changes depending on what their dressphere is. That might have happened in other versions, but it definitely didn't happen in the NA version!
      What? Why does Paine need DARKPROOF if she's the WHITE MAGE??? Bad at this game.
      Yaibal, no one remembers you. You were not in the last game.
      Oh my god this party combination is my favorite. I'm evil. (:<
      Ahahahah this Tonberry battle oh god
      Agreed with Matt, that is the dead camera angle.
      Thanks for the singing, Yuna...
      You're welcome, Matt.


      Episode 5:
      Not curious
      All the shame. Everyone should know ABBA.
      God, Tonberry. Let it go.
      You encounter more battles if you run while it's dark.
      I don't get the reference.
      I believe "Itchy" makes it so the only action you're allowed to take on your turn is to change your dressphere.
      Lucil's outfit is dumb. A turtlnecked swimsuit.


      Next ep's spheres:
      Yuna - Thief
      Paine - David Bowie
      Rikku - White Mage
