Okay Yea Forums I just got this, I've never played the international versions before so is there anything I should know before going in?
Also in FFX should I use the standard or expert sphere grid?

Use the standard, if it's your first time playing. Other than that, there's nothing that you really need to know before going; FFX is a really straight forward, literally, game.
Samuel Jackson
they're both shit
Ryan Williams
the game is on rails and the standard grid is simple enough for your first time . just follow the natural progression of spheres on each character's grid.
also expect the first 8-10 hours of the game to be pretty much Tutorials & Cutscenes.
Jose Jones
Use a guide for the missable al he’s primers.
Isaac Clark
The only permanently missable ones are in the Desert Home, other than that you don't have to worry about it.
There's a secret item in each Temple trial, they aren't permanently missable but getting them on your first visit is much more convenient, so instead of just trying to solve the puzzles, try to look for the secret aswell.
Henry Adams
Final Fantasy X is such a good game bros. The first time I ever played it was 2016. It blew me away, I can't believe it took me that long to play it.
Christian Sullivan
There’s one in Bevelle Temple right after you get Bahamut
Asher Foster
It's unironically the best FF.
Jaxson Hernandez
I've never play a FF would FFX/X-2 HD be a good place to start? Is X-2 even worth playing?
Blake Allen
>would FFX/X-2 HD be a good place to start?
X is a fine place to start.
>Is X-2 even worth playing?
Define 'worth'.
Parker Wright
True you're right, doubt he would've missed that one without a guide though
Also if you play on PC, you can just download someone else's file to transfer their primers onto your file incase you do miss one of the 3 permanently missable ones
Isaac Bailey
turn off the soullese chinese demaster stuff
Gabriel Cruz
If you enjoy challenging super bosses, it was actually worth it and the combat is objectively better than FFX.
Brandon Thompson
Sure, you can jump into any of the non sequel ones but just know that FF1-10 are made by Square before the merger so they have a different feel to them compared to the later ones.
Luis White
>objectively
I don't think you know what this word means.
Wyatt Martinez
X has a different feel to any of the games before it, though. Most of the key figures from I-IX had very reduced roles in X.
Isaiah Hall
I thought the secret in Besaid temple was missable.
Eli Hill
Fuck, I meant Bevelle
Isaac Butler
X still has Nobuo Uematsu and a story. Can't say the same for the later FF.
Carson Wood
FUCK BLITZBALL
Aiden Powell
And yet pretty much all of the best tracks weren't done by him.

The main drawback of X was that it lacked the traditional world map but it made up for it by having such a comprehensive end-game with so much fucking content. It's a pretty wonderful game overall.

Tips for beginners
>standard grid makes each character follow their standard character class
>expert grid lets you choose your character’s advancement path
>standard grid has more slots so it requires less work to maximize stats in the end-game
>talk to every NPC as many of them will give you free items
>the first two boss deals incremental damage and you cannot die to them, so don’t waste any potions
Benjamin Collins
it's a great case study for showing how good a game can get while having a bad plot
Brody Baker
Pick up the extra overdrive for Valefor before leaving Besaid. Go for the destruction sphere treasures at each Cloister trial on your first go, or you're in for a bad time if you do them later.
Aaron Parker
The plot is great. I don’t think you guys know what you’re talking about.

>creature creator gives you nifty stuff compared to the stuff you find exploring
How far can you take this in chapter 1? I managed to get to the youth league but I'm getting btfo.
Jack Johnson
BE SURE TO GET THE DESTRUCTION SPHERE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE TOWNS WITH TEMPLES
Xavier Moore
almost none of the shit seymour does makes any sense, and they even retconned his genocide of the ronso in x-2
Chase Nelson
>international version
get the destruction sphere + chest at each temple on the first visit. the international version has the dark aeons which are essentially super bosses - they will stop you from revisiting the temples later. if you don't get the destruction spheres the first time, you will miss your last 2 aeons.
Luke Parker
He wanted to kill everyone so no one would feel any more pain. What’s so hard to understand? And come on. An actual genocide would be impossible in any scenario. There has never been a successful genocide in any history.

Not far, new chapters open up new monsters that you'll definitively want to grab and some monsters can only be gotten on a certain chapter(I think). Monsters are broken as shit from chapter 1 though. Also you don't want to level YRP too much as monsters are caught based around YRP's level and you need to level monsters at least 5 levels to fully unlock their story. This is the only annoyance though.
Liam Kelly
Monsters will be the best way to beat endgame content because boss monsters eventually attack so fast that it’s hard to keep up.
Cooper Barnes
I like X-2's firm canon
Josiah Cook
Dude was literally insane. He was a third party to the player vs Yu Yevon conflict with his motivation being fueled by his delusional ideals caused by mommy becoming a BDSM-tier aeon creature. Personally, I think he was a pretty cool recurring enemy. His boss forms were aesthetic as fuck.
Justin Hughes
Don’t forget the sun crest after defeating Yunelesca or you’ll have to deal with Dark Bahamut.
I just gave myself PTSD from all my chocobo catcher attempts.
Carson Price
Make sure Kimahri learns Steal. He's useless, but there's one fight in the game where you really want Kimahri to know Steal. You'll know when.
