    Default Sphere Break - Love it or Hate it?

    Sphere Break is a minigame in FFX-2 where you use coins to make numbers that are multiples of other numbers. Its the only way to obtain Lady Luck and is known to be disliked by many.

    Are you a fan of the Minigame Sphere Break?

    I wasn't a master of this game, but I definitely enjoyed playing it. This minigame, paired with the battle mechanics, are what made me like this game.

    I thought it was fun and it lead to one of my favorite Dressspheres, Lady Luck.

    I did not like it, too stressful, but I was surprisingly good at it and never had trouble beating Shinra







    Until I just said that and jinxed my next playthrough

    Irrational hatred. Like, energy I know should be spent elsewhere, but I decide, on purpose, to hate this instead.

    Like most of the minigames from X, this is one I never played.

    Loved it. Simple, yet fun and somewhat challenging.

    I didn't really like it. Not because I'm bad at math, or because I was bad at the game itself, but because it was smurf-all boring. And with no real reward to it. The same goes for the new Blitzball. If I'm playing a minigame, I want to play a minigame, not watch a bunch of NPCs play it for me. Meanwhile, with Sphere Break, sure you've got the music and flashy lights and all, but the amount of thinking you have to do is so minimal. At least with Triple Triad you had to try and guess what the opponent would do, and you could also get those really weird rules that made the game impossibly hard. Sphere Break, though? No enemy AI to go against. No complicated rules. Easy as all smurf. Boring.

    Same case for X-2. Only minigame on there I remember playing involved chocobo and I didn't play that for very long.
