hey where's the best place to level up my character? I thinkthat calm land fiend sucks.. just one hit and they all go down the drain..

Don't forget to look for the Phoenix Pheather on Mi'ihen Road that you can give to an old man later in the game and in return he'll give you the password to revive Aeris in FFX as a playable character.

do u mean the old road or new road? im a bit confused, ive trained for hours along those roads and apart from the mars crest i havent found anything usefull :S

[silent_ultima]

he's just messing with your head, chilpepper.

Not even one FF that u can revive Aeris, even in the FF 7.

Face the fact. She's as dead as Seymore.

('camping' at a save sphere and levelling can be a good idea)

(spend time batteling to level up your characters)

(build up your overdrives in macalania)


Sorry for newbie question, but what does "leveling up" and "building up the Overdrive" mean?

How does one

1)"level up"?

2)"Buildup the Overdrive"?


Is "leveling up" the same as saving at the Sphere?

[rubah]

levelling is when you use the sphere grid to increase your stats.

You build up your overdrives by performing the preset requirements In the status menu under overdrive, you can hit cancel, then right to see what overdrive setting you have for each character.
If it's on stoic, that character needs to be hit by the enemy to build overdrive,
ally means they need to take a lot of turns (in battle, push right to switch your weapon or armor. This takes less time than anything else)
comrade means other people need to be hit by the enemy,
healer means that character needs to heal other people
Warrior mode has to hit the enemy
Victor needs to be in the party when the battles are won,
Hero needs to be the one to kill a strong beast (or possibly with an overkill)
slayer just needs to kill something
tactician needs to inflict status ailments,
Dancer needs to evade attacks,
Sufferer needs to be inflicted with statuses and take turns.
Victim (er actually, I'm starting to think this is what I said sufferer is@.@)
Daredevil builds overdrive when taking turns in critical (yellow) health,
and Loner takes turn when they're the ONLY one in battle.

Best place to level up is the Zanarkand Ruins, especially the Dome with the robots.

The monster catching really pays off, you get all kinds of items you can use to customize your weapons.

And about the Blitzball, I only have Wakka's first overdrive and I just finished the game.

The only thing you really need to finish the game, is Auron[]'s Masamune, which for some reason is the easiest to get. It took one hit from Auron to finish the final boss.

And if you're trying to acquire Dark Matter, it's a b*tch. You have to capture five of each monster in the Monster Arena. But eventually, it's worth it

Dark matter isn't that bad.

Just start working on maxing the sphere grid. You'll end up fighting those bosses in the monster arena so many times that the random drops add up like crazy.

I think I've customized two weapons with break damage limit like that. One with the ones you get from capturing, (I think it was on rikku's capture weapon. or yuna's. one of those, ironically) and another to make tidus' excalibur. (psh, who needs caladbolg, NOT ME!)
