Restart just for the primers?

[Flying Mullet]

Did anyone restart their playthrough or replay sections of the game so that they wouldn't miss an Al Bhed primer? This game was the first time I honestly considered starting over when I realized that I had missed several of the primers. Usually it's not a big deal as you can grab stuff and see things on your next playthrough that you missed but I didn't like that I couldn't understand Rikku and company at the beginning of the game and I wasn't going to be left in the dark the second time through.

Nah...I just compile the dictionary from previous files


...and then I just figured out the missing letters on my own xD

I collected most of them on my first and second playthrough. On my third one, I imported it to my new file and understood every word from the very beginning.

Yes.

dictionary compilation ftw.

I thought there was a sphere that lets you load the albhed primers from another save file.

Unless thats what everyone is refering to when they say dictionary compiler, i have no idea what it was called.

I'm too lazy to translate everything in the game. I'd rather have the game do all of the work.

I got all the missing primers on my second play, since I resisted spoilers and walkthroughs the first time around.

I have so many different files in FFX that I think I have every single primer between the games.

I would have been upset to miss one but not enough to restart the whole game.

I just collect as many As I could throughout the game. So, I could make out basically most of the words, even if I was missing some.

I had a lot of experience with cryptograms, so I was translating the Al Bhed dialogue real time after 4 or 5 Primers. I then started a new game and played up until Tidus leaves the salvage ship. The rest of the dialogue I looked up (on gamefaqs I think) which has an Al Bhed dialogue file.
