    Default Are sidequests worth it? If so... convince me. *possibly minor spoilers*

    I just reached Zanarkand today, and in the guide (just before you fight sin) it says Side Quest Time! I only entered the secret cordinations in the airship then went and got the item that was in each one. I want to get all the legendary weapons, but it just looks like it would take SO long. And you have to get two additional items just to get it! So are they worht it?

    It's only worth it if you desire to complete the game to its fullest, IE invest enough time to get everything (200 hours). If all you want to do is finish the game, you might as well skip the sidequests and do the final battle. There are some sidequests that reveal more about the plot: Jecht Spheres, Omega Ruins, and Maechen, but these are not essential, and really more for aesthetic purposes. Other sidequests add some challenge and nuance to the game, but outside of Dark Aeons and the Monster Arena, not much else does anything.

    Braska's Final Aeon can be beat by very undertrained partys.
    The best I've ever seen...

    It is posible to finish the game and watch the ending early. But in order to play your game to it's fullest, that is max out stats and kill all the strongest boss, it will takes about 200 hrs. For some people, it took them over 300 hrs and they still can't do it.

    Max out stats , I mean by

    Health 999,999
    MP 9,999
    255 Strenght
    255 Defence
    255 Magic
    255 Magic Defence
    255 Evasion
    255 Luck
    255 Agility
    255 Acurracy

    A) health can only go to 99999
    B) any MP value above 999 is useless (and it really is)
    C) 255 Eva/Acc is vestigal and unnecessary with a 255 Luck rating (base values still required)
    D) there aren't enough spaces on the grid to support all 99999 HP and 255 in all other stats
    E) HP past 9999 is unnecessary as well, but it makes you look buff
    F) Levian Maricks

    Your right in most part.

    99,999 HP
    999 MP

    my bad.


    As for the spread grid, you can get 99,999 HP plus 255 for all by having 30% hp, 20% hp, Break HP Limit customize armor. This armor is actually quite weak compare to any armors with Auto-Haste, Phoenix, Potion and Ribbon. So why do it? Because after beating all the bosses and ya got nothing else to you, the character just looks good.

    Personally I beat it, and then went back for final weapons(besides Auron and Yuna's which I already had). After getting Tidus' weapon, and boy a headache that it was, I'm not as focused on doing everything anymore.

    I think I'll go find those Spheres to watch more plot, and maybe play the cactuar game to see the village.. Not going to do Wakka, Lulu, Kimarhi, and possibly might do Rikku's final weapon.

    All there is left is a bunch of monsters who require me to beat a bunch of other monsters who never really give me anything but bragging rights.

    I already beat Omega(forgot to lancet him /sigh).
    And I've already seen all monster creations except for the last two originals.

    It's up to you if you want to spend time in it... but like the above posters... you WILL need to completely activate the sphere grid for three people just to START being able to kill things in the arena.



    After that comes stat maxing.

    My Tidus has every regular sphere activated and quite a few magic def spheres from One Eye too.. Most of his stats are in the 120-150 range, and even with having those decent stats, the first original creation hits him for 46,000dmg.
