I've never maxed it out. Now I have a new system and new memory card so I don't have my old files. Has anyone maxed it out? What do you think of them actually adding in another language into an FF? I thought it was neat.

I managed to get everyone in a playthrough with the exception of Z. I forgot what you have to do the get that letter, but I remember thinking that it was too much trouble. Plus, how often do they say something with a Z in it? That, and it was easy to put the language together after getting a little less than half the letters.
I did, then I replayed through with the translation - it was pretty neat. I like in the beginning when the Al-Bhed actually yell "Airship!" when you find it xD
My PS2 memory card got wiped clean at some point, but yes, I had the entire Al Bhed Primer completed on my older save files. It's cool to be able to tell what they're all saying in the beginning.
I liked the addition of another language that you have to work to decipher, personally. I hope they do it again in a future FF game.
I like Kung-Fu.

Does having it all change anything? I mean, does Tidus suddenly understand?
Good question, Jiro.
A better question...why does an entire book only teach one letter? o.o

But I think after the first few primers there arent any two way conversations between Tidus and an Albhed anyway
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!

I was always of the impression that the opening scenes in Spira should change if Tidus understands his rescuers.

Who knows, maybe they'll do that in the HD edition! That'd be awesome.
Seriously xD
The Al Bhed language is a simple substitution cipher and it was a thin veneer to pretend there was more depth to the Al Bhed culture than weird eyes, a love of machines, and...no, actually, that is about it. I did enjoy that this different ethnic group basically spewed gibberish and there was a communication barrier, and I was able to not let the shallowness suspend my immersion in X's world.
That said, I use the Al Bhed cipher for messages to friends and to substitute script in images. Why not have a bit of fun?
haha yes! I always wondered that too!
I think I have all the primers except for maybe three of them. I know one of them I can't retrieve in this particular game I'm working on, since apparently you can only get the letter at 'Home' (Al Bhed's home base) and I'm way past that. I believe it teaches the letter S.

Save, start a new game, go to the orb in the first area, problem solved.haha yes! I always wondered that too!

This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
are you referring to compilation of previous games? I'd still need to trek through to Home to pick those up, no?

It always annoyed me that you automatically get the first primer. Once you're able to understand which letters go where and no longer need them, I think it'd be more interesting to see the language in its default. But with the way the game's set up. You'd have to prtscrn every sentence and replace the "e" (I think the "e" was the first one. It's been a while.) so that 1) it isn't colored different therefore distracting to the eye and 2) I have no further point to make.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
