So I'm playing through FFX for the first time without cheating. (I used cheat codes for all my games till about two years ago and I just got a new copy of FFX for Christmas) and we just beat Yunalesca. Now comes the airship and optional quests and that sort of crap.
I think my party is horribly weak or at best, low average. I glanced at a guide and it says to do 9999 damage you need at least 146 in strength. Auron, my best hitter, isn't even 100 yet.
So to rectify this, I went looking for easy ways to max our my character's stats. The best way apparently is to fight the Monster Creations to get tons of Strength, Magic, etc. Spheres which all give you a +4. Unfortunately, I doubt I could handle the storyline bosses let alone optional ones with hundreds of thousands of HP.
Yuna is my best Magic User. With a +15 in Magic from her staff, she has about 60
I'm trying to boost Rikku's Magic stat because she has a lot of MP. So I used a Friend Sphere to teleport her to Lulu's part of the Grid. Probably a mistake but I figured it be a good idea at the time.
So...any advice on how to get my party whipped into shape? Or am I in for hours of level grinding just to move around the Grid as much as I can?
EDIT:
I'm wondering something. I saw on here and on a guide about the easy Gil trick with the Mimics. Using that and getting an Overdrive on Yojimbo, perahsp i could just Zamnato the Monster Creations and get the Stat Spheres that way?
