    Default Cloister of Trials

    Did you like or dislike these challenges? I loved trying them out. Sometimes they can be frustrating, especially if you don't know what you're doing in places like Bevelle and you ride the elevator to the same spots over and over again.

    Overall I enjoyed the puzzles.I would have liked more trials. Maybe a water-themed one? It would be interesting to push the pedestals with spheres in them down waterfalls or something to that effect.

    The one in Zanarkand always reminded me of Tetris.

    Most of the trials were ok but Bevelle was just plain zzz if you took a wrong turn
    Also I was stuck for ages on Djose because I didnt see that one of the pedestals needed two spheres.

    It's cool and everything but I was really hoping for a FFVI style reanimation of the trials

    I only found out yesterday that at the Zanarkand cloister that it tells you what squares to highlight if you activate the screen. A good 24 hours of my life have been wasted on Zanarkand cloister of bloody trials. Bevelle can be frustrating but the others are straight forward.

    I like the Cloisters. Although, they should've had Yuna do the trials instead of showing Tidus. To be honest, I don't think he has enough brain cells to put a put a square peg into a square hole, let alone figure out these puzzles.

    I thought I read somewhere that one of the roles of the summoner's companions is to help get through the cloister of trials so she can do her thing in the aeon room.

    I dig em. It's a nice change of pace and they have that atmospheric tranquil vibe.

    They're also pretty decently designed difficulty wise. I've played through this game at least 6 times and every time I just can not remember the right path/order, especially with destruction spheres involved. I still fail to get one treasure in Bevelle's cloyster.

    I thought she went in on her own. I remember early in the game Kimahri (before he opened up w/ his sunny personality) blocking the door & everyone hanging out outside.

    The Chamber of the Fayth is off limits but the Cloister is open to Gaurdians and Summoners

    Cloister of Trials always annoyed me and slightly scared me. I always thought something would pop out if I failed a puzzle.
