Topic: Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2 and XII - Now with 80% more FF VIII

@Dezzy That would be awesome if they voice overed ff9.

Argh!! FFX...

I really hate Yunalesca! Managed to get to her third form, but shut the system off when I realised the game was lost.

Sigh... Back to grinding. Need to unlock Holy. And I need more characters to learn Dispel, right now it's only Rikku who knows it. I hate Regen!

@Quarth
Prepare your Aeons with Full Overdrive before fight against Yunalesca.
Summon them when you realize she will change into next form so you will be safe from Hell biter and Mega Death (The Aeons will take those attacks)
Yuna should have Deathproof equipment by customize to prevent Mega Death. Better Yuna learn Auto-Life, Holy to counter the Yunalesca attacks.

@Anti-Matter Yep, I already have all characters and aeons at full overdrive.

It's just that I have to figure out her patterns and type of attacks, as I noticed she for example made it impossible for me to use Bahamuts Mega Flare twice (the second time I tried to use Mega Flare was with Yuna's overdrive mode and Yunalesca only had like 22,000 life left being in her third form, but she had put a spell on Bahamut the first time I summoned him during the battle (during Yunalescas second form), so Mega Flare wasn't available and instead she sucked the life out of him plus restoring a lot of health, suddenly being back at 30,000+). So I need a better strategy, will definitely look into death proofing some of the equipment.

I love this game, but I hate that you can't skip cutscenes. The one before this battle is soooo loooooong...

@Quarth
I have defeated Yunalesca without making someone died due to Mega Death or Zombie status from Hell Biter.

Strategy for 1st form:
Cast Auto Life + Protect + Hastega to ALL party members, Yuna SHOULD be wears Deathproof + Silence proof armor to prevent Mega Death and being silenced after cast magics onto Yunalesca, Cast Flare / Holy onto Yunalesca 2 times with assume the damage = 9999, Summon Valefor with Full Overdrive so she can deal 9999 damage from Energy Ray (Total damage = 3 x 9999 = 29,997), with total damage exceeding 24,000 she will transform into 2nd form.

Strategy for 2nd form:
Since you have attacked her by Aeons until she transformed into 2nd form, she will cast Hellbiter. Your Valefor will take those Hellbiter (Immune all bad status) but Yunalesca will strike your Valefor then Absorb the Aeon's HP until your Aeon died.
Here, cast Flare / Holy again onto Yunalesca again for 4 times (4 x 9999 = 39996), Summon Ifrit / Ixion / Shiva to cover your party and use their Overdrive with damage = 9999. After that it will trigger Yunalesca to 3rd form.

Strategy for 3rd form:
Yunalesca will cast Mega Death onto your Aeon and it will be MISS since Aeons are Death proof but once again Yunalesca will kill your Aeon with her Absorb, Here after your another Aeons killed , summon Bahamut. If you have trained Yuna very well, Bahamut can deals Mega Flare with damage over than 60,000. Defeat Yunalesca with Bahamut's Mega Flare and victory will be yours.

After you defeat Yunalesca, make sure you check the chest over there to get Sun Crest for Tidus or you have to defeat Dark Bahamut if you forget to get Sun Crest.

@Anti-Matter Thanks! Will need to train a little bit more, but after that I will try your strategy.

Edit: Beat her by using Rikku's mix Trio. A little cheap maybe, but I don't care. All that matters is that I beat her and now the story can continue and I never have to see that cutscene again.

Now that Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is available to preorder on PS4 and Xbone For $20, I have serious doubts the game being released physically.

Looks like that voiceacting rumour was nonsense too. I'd assumed it would be just a mistake.

Yeah, sadly, @Magician & @Dezzy .... I'll probably get it on Switch, to go with the rest & still looking forward to replaying it, though

I really enjoy FFX, but it contains a lot of infuriating stuff. The mini games are awful. I've managed to beat the chocobo race, but am stuck at that stupid butterfly hunt now. Do I need to beat the two hunts directly after each other or can I do other stuff in between? I beat the first hunt (giving me the teleport sphere) but got frustrated with the second area and went away to do something else (got the No Encounters update).

Where is Bribe on the Sphere Grid? Trying to find it to see in which direction Rikku should go.

Bribe is the last ability on Rikku's part of the Sphere Grid, located at the bottom center of the grid map, directly to the left of the loop with all of Lulu's "-ra" spells, @Quarth ....

@BruceCM Thanks!

@Quarth, also, you don't even have to do the butterfly hunts. I think I completed the first one (upon coming back to the area at a later time), but never even bothered with the second.

@RR529 Oh, I just want the Saturn Sigil for Kimahri's Celestial Weapon.

FFX:
OK, so I need some tips regarding how to beat Sin's head, the fight where he draws you nearer and you must beat him before that, but he has like 100.000+ health.

I have:
All characters at Overdrive, all five main Aeons at Overdrive, two characters that knows Holy (Yuna, Rikku), one character that knows Ultima (Auron, soon also Lulu), Trio of 9999 ready, Auron's Celestial Weapon

What's the best strategy?

@Quarth, I remember having trouble with that part when I first played it years ago, but I beat it on my first try this time.

Don't think I did anything particularly special. Just used Hastega to make everyone get extra turns, then used powerful magic to attack it for awhile, then finished it with Bahumut's Overdrive, which should be more than enough.

@RR529 Will try, thanks! Got Yojimbo now as well.

Beat the damn thing! Now onto hopefully the last battle with Seymour.

There... Just finished FFX after 80+ hours of playtime. The ending with Tidus and Auron going away almost got me a little teary eyed.

Good game overall. Some minor flaws that could be improved with QoL implementations, but mostly a solid experience. Really enjoyed the story and characters.
