Zanmato can't really be considered cheating. It's porgrammed into the game.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
I'm glad I found these forums.
I didn't know you could use Zanmato on the Dark Aeons. Now I should be able to get some Celestial Weapons.
If you're looking for the celestial weapons, then I suggest you don't use Zanmato. It makes them sort of worthless.
Plus I think you can find the weapons, crests and sigils without fighting any dark aeons. So if you're looking for a nice challenge, find the weapons and fight them normally. If you're looking to get back into blocked areas, though, Zanmato 'em to the grave.

Ah, I hate it when I run into Dark Aeons- exactly the same thing happened to me when monster catching actually... I thought, well hey, this must be a one off- THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE REST OF THEM!
Especially the one where the sisters chase you.... [shudder]urgh....[/shudder]
I have never beat a single dark aeon in my life!!! I haven't even tried..... well, seriously tried. They just seem so hard!!
I prefer completing the story to every fight, anyway!
Keep on with those weapons and such, and on the point of Zanmato, I killed Omega with it without realising wtf it was:grr: - until Omega died- on my first turn.
Always look on the bright side of life! *whistles and dances*
Dark Youjinbo is actually my favourite, since you can beat him as many times as you like instead of once only like the others, and he's relatively easy too, so plenty of nice items from those fights with him
Thats why I wanna waste 'em. No way i'm gonna get past Dark Bahamut for that Sun Signal without using Zanmato. Or get back in some off Temples to do the trials again.Originally posted by Black Mage 121

If you really need to use zanmato you shouldn't be on this site.
Anima I choose you!!
Ricecakes for all.
SMACK!! Take that, destruct materia!
I don't think people still understand why players are using Zanmato to get past the aeons - Dark Valefor blocks the path to Besaid Village, Dark Shiva blocks the path to her temple and Dark Bahamut blocks the path to where Yunalesca *was* and thus Tidus's Sun Sig. If you missed the destruction sphere chests first time around and you want to get Anima/Magus sisters (and obviously all players do), you have to kill the damn dark aeons that are in the way!
Now I have put 100 hours into the game and had a blast but to kill the dark aeons without Zanmato means coutless hours powerlevelling the chars. You may be a player that enjoys that which is just great, but many of us simply want to experience the extra aeons, play a little bit more and finish the game. In that case, blasting those dark aeons that are blocking the way using Zanmato is the only reasonable way for the non hardcore player.
Are Dark Aeons there for an extra challenge? Yes. Does bragging about killing them by using Zanmato make sense? No. But does killing them using it to get them the hell out of the way so you can do other things in the game make sense when you don't want to be a levelling junkie? Er yes.
Woah this thread is still alive? Hehe..
Viz: I think that most people do understand why you could use Zanmato for the reasons you mentioned... but "obviously all players do" I don't agree with this. I never got Anima or the Magus Sisters and it didn't bother me.
Another way of looking at it, is - you missed the spheres, so it's too late, you could just carry on and finish the game. Then start a new game and remember to get those spheres!
Anyway I'm not saying you should do that, I'm just saying there's no right or wrong about using Zanmato, it's a matter of choice, and how you want to complete the game. If you just want to get those aeons then there's no reason why you shouldn't use Zanmato on the dark aeons if you want to, as you say Viz.
I think the problem most people have with it, is as you say when people say "Ohhh I killed them it was so easy just use Zanmato". Well of course it's easy but if your going to kill them just to say you killed them, why bother killing them at all?
Zanmato was put in the game on purpose so it's there to be used if anyone wants to use it. *shrug*
People who dare not use Zanmato are cowards of the worst sort.
ok wats that spose to mean? this is an online comunity for people that like final fantasy, not an FF comp!Originally posted by fallenangel_masamune

I used it all the time when faced with fiends when I needed to level up. And if that is cheap then I guess Odin is cheap as well, since his attack is usually one hit kill.Originally posted by blue_midget192

As for me... I'm off to the Outerbanks in about 20 minutes, so I'll be gone for a week or so. Later...
I used Zanmato against Two D aeons because I don't want to wait with lovely Anima. Magus Siters were just fun to get after that though
Hey guys, WTF!? I got the Sun Crest from Yunalesca's lair without fighting any Dark Aeons. I forgot the Destruction Sphere in Besaid and went back without fighting a Dark Aeon. And I went back to Zanarkand to get it's Destruction Sphere and still no Dark Aeon. So, what the hell are you talking about!?
P.S. The Sun Sigil is obtained by the Chocobo Race in the Calm Lands.
