1. Valefor 2. Escape/flee 3. Sphere Grid -------------------------- Wow... I think I'm missing something, lol, please help. 1. Ok, for Valefor - how do I use Shield? 2. I know I can use 'escape' with individual party members in a fight but can I just flee the battle altogether? Or can I use 'escape' for all members - essentially leaving the battle that way? & 3. I went through the Sphere Grid tutorial via Rikku - but whenever I use it I don't feel like it works...? I'll move to a node and proceed but when I look at my character's stats it doesn't appear to have improved anything. Is it gradual or am I just completely blind? I'd appreciate whatever help I can get. I love this game but I'm not used to it quite yet. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure I got you covered on all of these. I may have to ask you a few questions in return to fully understand and help though. I love this game as well, and it's been awhile since I've played it, but I'd be more than happy to try and help you out. 1.) Shield To use the 'Shield' command, simply press right on your command list and it will bring up three options. 'Shield', 'Boost', and 'Dismiss'. (maybe not in that particular order). Shield lasts for one turn. Hope this helps, that's about all you do for that. Have any questions about boost or anything like that just keep asking. 2.) Escape Now, I'm not 100% sure, but pretty darn close to that in thinking that you can only escape individually. If you want to escape, I believe you have to use the 'Escape' or 'Flee' command (not sure which one of those two it is, can't remember) for all three members of your party who are on the battlefield. 3.) Oh, okay. I think I see what your problem is. I believe, by the way you described it, you are just going onto a node without doing anything else, correct? Well, to activate that node, you have to use a certain sphere that corresponds with one you are on or adjacent to, make sense? Okay, let me try and break it down more clearly. A lot of spots on the Sphere Grid have something on them for you to upgrade your character in some way. Some take Power Spheres to activate them, some Mana Spheres, Speed Spheres, etc. etc. Now, the number indicating your Sphere Level is how many spots you can move. Your Sphere Level goes up as you level up your characters. To use a sphere on a node, select 'Use' and then from that menu select which sphere you want to choose. You'll know when you can use a certain sphere because it'll be in highlighted white lettering instead of the gray lettering. You'll get use to which spheres go where, and overall how to use it pretty quickly. I, personally, loved the Sphere Grid, it was a great addition to the game. Let me know if the Sphere Grid part was confusing, because it makes sense to me as I was explaining it, but if you're confused I can see that it might confuse you more. I'll explain it step by step if you need me to.
Flee is a learned ability that can get you out of all random battles (it's something Tidus can learn on his standard sphere grid)
Wow thanks so much for your help! And thanks to SinirothXIII for the details! It helped a lot. Especially with the Sphere Grid. I knew I was forgetting something, I think I've got it now though, you did explain it pretty clearly. Haha I was doing it all so so wrong, hopefully I can stop dying in the same effing spot now. ^_^ Thanks again! I'll definitely come back to ask more questions if I get stuck again. ^_^
Oh don't mention it. Glad to help. Final Fantasy X is one of my favorite games of all-time, so it was quite fun being able to pass on some info to someone in need. Keep the questions coming if you have any more.
New question. xD Boss battle! Evrae. First off... ugh! Ok. Any tips on beating him and keeping some HP up in your characters? I beat him once but seemed like by sheer luck I was down to just Tidus and I swear Haste saved my life there, everyone else was KO'd... then, without getting to save... I die in the second battle after entering Bevelle. *Cries*
I'm not sure but I think that if you use some phoenix downs on him he will die (1-5) If not just get all the overdrives first and then go away from him and let Lulu, Wakka and if you have learned someone black magic if not then use Kimarhi (?) lancet ability on him When he comes close use all of the overdrives to kill him =D
