Final Fantasy X-2 Cheats & Tips

You must have the alchemist dressphere.Use mix. Mix holy water with any kind of gem and you get an attack called white hole.It does 10,000 damage to 1 enemy!!!

In Chapter 2 go to Guadosalam and buy some data from the peddler (the peddler is in a room to the east of the entrance). As soon as you buy it from him soft reset (that is start, select, R1, R2, L1, and L2). Then get into your game and do it again. You have to do this 15 times. On the 16th time as soon as you buy the data the clue will be, "It's the last person you'd expect." If this is the clue sell the data to the man in front of you! That's right it's the peddler himself! As soon as he buys the clue you will net yourself 100,000 gil!

have your best character master the 4 dresspheres u want 2 use.i did this easily with Paine. i had her use warrior,dark knight,samurai,and berserker.i had her on the chaos malestorme garment grid,had her as a dark knight, and the Bushido lore and the Nature's lore accesseries.u can do this with any garment grid and accesseries that give 1 of the girls a dreessphere's skills.Make sure she masters all of the dressphere's ablities.if this won't work sorry.Email me.

first you need a cheat system you can get in most game shops called x-ploder cheat and media system.
when you have got it click on memory manager and gamesaves and let it load.
then click on your ff x-2 file , press L2 and go down to ff x-2 and press right and there are many options including 99 of all accessories infinite gill yuna, rikku, or paine at lv 99 and a few more.Viola you got your ff x-2 dreams fufilled

To deal more damage with the black mage, all you need to do is to cast reflect on all three characters and then cast a black magic spell on all three characters.
Including the chain bonus you receive, it deals more damage because of the fact that if you attack three things at once, the three attacks are greater than one third each.

Argent has better items and accesories for some really cheap prices. So pick Argent not the crappy open air.

Yes, that's right. Invincible. Well almost, very rarely will a fiend be able to physically hit you with this.

Simply have all 3 girls equipped with...


~ Beserker DS
**IT MUST BE COMPLETELY MASTERED!! (in other words have Evade and Counter, and Magic Counter abilities learned.)**

~ Ribbion
**The way I got 3 of these was wait for the Omega Weapon to oversoul and get all three 7's on the Random Reels (Lady Luck DS) For tips on how to do this see my "Win some battles, Lady Luck style" tip.**

~ Tetra Bracelet
**These can be found throughout the game. I can only remember one place and that's defeat Anima in CH 5! Hince the reason "New Game Plus" in the title.**

Have fun my fellow Final Fantasy freaks!!

OK, well, first, to defeat the black elemental in the Via Infinito, you have to make sure all three girls are about level 75 OR HIGHER and have Gunner dress sphere equipped to all. all you have to do here is make each girl use Cheap Shot at least once. This way, you'll do your regular damage, regardless of the Black Elemental's defense ((which they're known for having very much of XDD)) and thats pretty much all you have to do!! sounds easy, right?? well, good luck^^

i found it pretty hard to beat the black element in the via inferno. Since he uses the move ultima which takes off like 9999 hp to all characters i found a way to beat him in a couple of turns. ok first i used the garmet grid downtrotter for paine since it gives you double hp. so use black knight(must know charon), samuri, and warrior ohn accessories apply the key to success and the crystal bangel +100% health. use black knight dresssphere. once in battle with paine sphere change all the way around the downtrotter garment grid which will double your hp which will come out to be like 9999 hp then use charon on black knight and it should kill the black element before it usrs the ultimate move!!!! hope this helps!!!

I found out that if you choose and equip with fire protection, you are able to cast fire with any dress-sphere.

Its the same with ice, thunder and water...

Self explanatory. Here's how you find out how much gil to use when you go to bribe an anemy:

( Gil Used x 256 / Fiend's Max HP x 5 ) - 64 = X

X / 256 = Chance of successful bribe

When you acquire catnip have turbo controller handy put R1 on turbo equip yuna to gunner with trigger happy lv3 and fire away

☼ ☼ ¤ Complete Dressphere FFX-2 Guide ¤ ☼ ☼
*The Good And Bad of Diff. Dresspheres*
* ~their abilities~ *
≈ ~where to get the specials≈
§And Some Descriptions§

^Note; some of the abilities I list in "the good" need to be acquired and are not automatically equipped.
¤Hint: many of these should be used in good combinations that balance them all-hope this helps


*Gunner*
Gunner uses firearms to attack enemies. For the gunner range isn't a problem-good for attacks against flying or airborne enemies.
»The Good: This is one of your starting dresspheres but even as a starting dressphere it has a lot of diff. abilities~
ºThe Bad At the beginning of the game this doesn't really have that much power!


*Thief*
While most monsters leave little gil and items that aren't too great, the thief can change ALL of that!
»The Good» Obviously a big deal about the "thief" is well duh! Stealing items! The cool thing about being a thief in FFX-2 is now you can also use the Phifer Gil ability which enables you to steal gil, the Phifer Hp and Mp ability which enables you to steal hp and mp! All of the abilities that Thief offers basically have to do with stealing things or guarding against slow and stuff. Thief also has high agility and evasion!
ºThe Bad The bad thing about thief is also the best thing about thief-it really is only good for stealing loot! But hey that isn't That bad of something....

*Gun Mage*
Gun mage is pretty useful on the battlefield. It has a variety of different commands-which is very good for you!
»The Good» comes with some really great abilities; really useful abilities! Scan, Annihilator, fiend hunter and others can really be helpful!
ºThe Badº A lot of abilities you need to absorb from other fiends (blue bullet abilities)

* Warrior *
The name spells it all...
»The Good»well again...the name says it all!
ºThe badº hmm.. well is having a ferocious lust for blood one?
¥here to get it: Paine comes with it
*Alchemist*
A great ability that really reminds you of the Al Bhed Greatness..
»The Good» MIXING!
ºThe badº Mixing can suck if you don't have a good turnout....(look for my other tips about the different mix turnouts!)

*Samurai*
A great dressphere that reminds you a lot of Auron...
»The Good» it is a strong "attacker" type. Lots of good offensive abilities
ºThe Badº Mostly only Offensive abilities

*Dark Knight*
A death dealer born of shadow-the ideal dressphere for some of you Neoseekers! (RPG only of course!) The dark knight is the type to do ANYTHING to win a battle. In FFX-2 the DK is able to use abilities to sacrifice themselves or portions of their HP to help the outcome of the battle.
»The Good» You can make yourself immune to a lot of status ailments and the attacks are great to destroy with!
ºThe badº Can only recover small amounts of Hp by draining...no real means for healing!

*Beserker*
Something along the sides of Kimarhi...or a furry horned thinger
»The Good» quick and attacks with furious abandon (well that may not ALWAYS be bad..)
Lots of good abilities but...
ºThe bad Many of the Beserker abilities are hard to obtain!

*Songstress*
The inner entertainer/fighter in all of us!-uses music and dance to distract enemies and to trance them
»The Good» a lot of different status att….oh excuse me, dances and songs. and good to raise strength etc. (during battle)
ºthe badº not really an attack dressphere

**SPECIALS; THE BOOKS OF MAGICAL DANCES; to learn MP mambo and Magical Masque you must acquire two key items: Magical Dances Vol. 1 and Magical Dances Vol.2
Vol. 1 is obtained by defeating the boss enemies inside the Den of Woe at Mushroom Rock. Vol. 2 is obtained by defeating the Experiment machine at Djose Temple during chapter 5, when the boss's attack defense and special parameter are all at level 5

*Black Mage*
This dressphere utilizing the forces of elemental magic.
»The Good» High Mp and Magic defense good for attacking!
ºThe Badº Depends heavily on healer types and has low hp, strength, and Defense

*White Mage*
A supporter that is very useful, especially in longer battles with fiends that dish out harder punches!
»The good» Well of course they big deal is the magic that heals your party. Magic that heals status effects are also a big deal too.
ºThe Badº White Mage is not a dressphere to have every member in your party use! White mage has NO ATTACKS! It doesn’t even give you that “attack” option in your commands! The best way to use WHITE MAGE Is as a supporting healer. (it will be more important to have a white mage in the later chapters)

♠Lady Luck♠
A dressphere that transforms the character into a seductive vixen-that uses her characteristics to take enemies for all they’re worth!
»The Good» If “lady luck” (haha) is on your side, you’ll get the chance to really dish out some awesome attacks!
ºThe Badº There is always a chance that your attacks will be very weak or not attack!


*Trainer*
When equipped in combat, the trainer dressphere calls a sacred animal into action. The abilities that each animal has is different between the different characters.

Rikku→ Cait Sith→ Abilities: PuPu Platter, Cait water
Rikku’s mascot, the Cait Sith, is a magic based dressphere. It has abilities that lower strength etc. of your enemies also.
Paine→ Tonberry→ Abilities: Dark Knife, Arsenic Knife
Paine’s mascot, Tonberry, has many attacks that focus on status effects. Its strength is really good for attacking, and extremely useful!
☼Hint: All the mascot dresspheres have at least one attack that enables you to use a different dressphere’s attack/ability.
Yuna’s attack Swordplay uses Warrior skills, and Arcana uses Dark Knight skills!
Rikku’s attack Instinct uses Berserker skills and White Magic uses White Mage skills.
Paine’s attack Bushido uses Samurai skills and Black magic uses Black mage skills.

¥here to find it? Acquire this dressphere by completing every episode during Chapter five except for Bevelle. Be sure not to do Zanarkand Ruins last though, because for some reason it won’t work then!
~*~SPECIAL DRESSPHERES~*~
There are three ULTIMATE dresspheres in this game; one for each of the main characters. They are all full of awesome abilities and each one is customized in a way to fit the character’s personality.
ALSO!!!! ALL THE SPECIAL DRESSPERES ACT AS A THREE MEMBER PARTY THEMSELF!
Yuna→ Floral Fallal→ Three Part Dressphere→ Floral Main Fallal, Right Pistil, Left Pistil
Floral Fallal Main Ability; Libra, Break damage limit
Right Pistil; Floral Rush, Triple Hp
Left Pistil; Sticky Honey, Poison Leaves
Yuna’s Floral Fallal needs two items to unlock abilities like Break Hp limit and Break damage limit.
To break your Hp limit, you need Aurora Rain, which you can find in a treasure chest inside a cave at the bottom of the gorge at the Calm Lands during Chapter Five. To unlock Break Damage Limit, you need Twilight Rain. Twilight Rain can be found in a treasure chest below the waterfalls at Besaid Island during Chapter five.
You get this dressphere during chapter two while traveling the Djose Highroad just south of the temple during the mission to obtain three Leblanc Syndicate uniforms.

Rikku→ Machina Maw→ 3 part dressphere→ Machina Maw Main, Smasher-R, Crusher-L
Machina Maw→ Abilities→ Revival, Bio Missile
Smasher-R→ Abilities→ Protector, Scan
Crusher-L→ Abilities→ Homing Ray, Anti Mental Shell
Rikku’s Machina Maw also needs special items to unlock the abilities Break Hp And Damage Limit (they’re separate). For Hp, you need the Machina Reactor which is found in a treasure chest near the lift up to the Youth League HQ at Mushroom Rock Road during Chapter five.
For the break damage limit, you need the Machina Booster, you can get it by dispatching level 1.2.3.4 and five chocobos three times each from Clasko’s Chocobo Ranch at the Calm lands out into Spira looking for items. In addition, all of your Choco Runners must be level 5! When you return to the ranch, Clasko reports that the chocobos found a secret dungeon at the Calm Lands. The item is contained in a chest inside the dungeon.
You can find Rikku’s dressphere during Chapter 2 investigating the Oasis at Bikanel Desert during the mission to obtain three Leblanc Syndicate uniforms.

Paine→ Full Throttle→ Three Part Dressphere → Full Throttle Main, Dextral Wing, Sinistral Wing.
Full Throttle Main; Fright, Whelmen
Dextral Wing; Stamina, Lazy Wing
Sinistral Wing; Steel Feather, Ribbon
Again, you need two items to unlock the Break Damage and Break Hp Limit abilities. To gain the Hp limit break, you need the Victor Primoris, which you can get on a ledge just over the side of the northernmost curve in the Mi’Hen Highroad. To get there you need to ride a chocobo to the spot and wait in the gap for a few seconds until the chocobo offers to go, first the chocobo will fly up to open a different chest, but if you repeat the process it will fly into the chasm to obtain the Victor Primoris! To obtain the Corpus Invictus (which unlocks the Break damage limit) you need to locate a chest inside the secret dungeon of the Thunder Plains. During Chapter five go to the thunder plains and defeat all of the fiends attacking the lightning towers. Afterward, an Al Bhed will offer to take you to the secret dungeon. After finding Cid in the dungeon, explore further and open secret stone walls to uncover the chest with the Corpus Invictus!
Get the Full Throttle dressphere during chapter one. Find Tromell at the Macalania woods and speak to him four times and the dressphere is yours!


PM ME IF YOU WANT MORE INFO ON DRESSPHERES!

If you are fighting an enemy with any elemental weakness, make sure you have a gunner with trigger happy, and then equip something that adds a certain element, the one the enemy is weak against of course, and you'll do elemental damage every time you press R1. Use this if you don't have a catnip item,
Another way, is have the cat nip item, and use trigger happy when your hp is low. This does 9999 damage every time you hit R1.
One more cool trick, is when you do the o'aka side quest in macalania woods, let him on your airship and pay off his debt of 100000 gil, BEFORE CHAPTER 3!!! If so, you can get a huge discount on his items. Buy, them, then sell them somewhere else, and make a cool profit!

Ya all remember moonflow? Yea? well if ya r a weak little fella then this is the place 2 train in chapters 3-5. From moonflow, move to the right of the Tolbi's show then go down da road an walla. sum times dere r crap battles with the bandits.

First of all, they can heal themselves: Shive-Ice, Ifrit-Fire. The way to defeat Shiva is to use a third level fire spell or the warriors Flametongue attack, be careful of her overdrive diamond dust(a lot of damage depending on your level)Healing is nescessary. Ifrit is the opposite of Shiva, he cures himself with fire spells so use third level ice spells or the warriors ice attack. Also, be careful with his overdrive Hellfire. (Massive damage) Heal if nescessary

Crimson Sphere 5: When Brother tells you the that Leblanc is there, go to the engine room.

Crimson Sphere 6: In Chapter 5, go to the room on the right in The Bevelle Temple. You'll meet the KinderGuardians. Go into the portal and watch the cutscene to see it on the ground.

Crimson Sphere 7: Go to where the Den Of Woe is located in Chapter 2.

Crimson Sphere 8: Via Infinito lvl 20. You'll have to beat a boss to get this one.

Crimson Sphere 9: In Chapter 1, in the Mushroom Rock mission, follow Logps and Ormi when they jump down into the Ravine. To follow them, just go to where there are rocks that look like steps and jump down.

14)Mascot-CH.5-Celsius-In order to get this powerful Dressphere you must get "Episode Complete!" in every area EXCEPT Bevelle, also in Zanarkand is your last "Episode Complete!" you will NOT get it for some reason.
15)Floral Fallal-CH.2-While searching for the syndicate uniform. In Djose Head down to Djose Road and you find some of Le Blanc's girls saying they lost a sphere. About half way down you should see it. Its a shiny object on the ground it should be infront of a stone pillar to the side where the water is.
16)Machina Maw-CH.2-Bikanel Desert- Talk to the pilot there twice and ask him to take you to the Oasis near the water should be Rikku's "Machina Maw" the you get ambushed by Logos, and here Goons.
17)Full Throttle-CH.1-In Macalanis woods
-Follow the Tree trunk path or if you want the shimmering path till you a 4-way split in the road. Refer to the on screen map and go up to the top right fork and proceed till you find Trowel and speak with him 4 times and he will turn over Full Throttle.



1)Gunner- During combat the Gunner's main job is to attack and destroy. at the start of the game this dress will become very effective for its speed, Equip garment grids that will raise Strength and Accuracy. to make this dressphere more effective. As this sphere levels up you can create devastating high critical

2)Thief- while using a thief spend your fist few minutes stealing items and gil from each enemies if you can't get anymore because the enemies are just not give it using the "Sticky Fingers" ability to get them. Using this dress on bosses is a good idea seeing that they usually have a rare item, so keeping a thief present for the first few minutes of battle is a wise idea. I thief can also help her fellow members halting enemies with the "borrowed time" ability.

3)Gunmage-In Battle use the scan ability to reveal enemy weakness and hp. After that I recommend using the "Fiend Hunter" abilities if the type that the gun mage can do the most effect on is there, its best to learn new "blue bullet" abilities with the Gun Mage

4)Warrior- Your first Attacker dress, its main function? To Hit them and hit them hard. The "Delay Attack" and the "Delay Buster" can become exceptionally useful. Use the "Sword Blade" abilities to do elemental damage or status ailments on and enemy, but in order to regain HP the warrior must rely on others.

5)Alchemist- One of the most helpful dresses in the game. With it's "Mix" ability this dress can supply a large amount of damage or heal your party from death. Although finding the right combination is quite hard, unfortunately this Walkthrough won't supply the chart (yet). Your Alchemist is one of the key dresses needed that can save your party in hard times.

6)Samurai- Another "attack" dress with the huge sword this dress uses it inflicts large damage, and surprisingly can evade many attacks, however the large makes it almost impossible to hit flying fiends or evasive ones as to that. Should the enemy show a high defence or can't be harmed by spells use the samurai's "fingersnap" or "nonpareil" to help. And like the Warrior this dress must also depend on others to restore HP.

7)Dark Knight- A powerful dressphere, butt its power it has faults. The Dark Knight dress comes with the ability "Darkness" it removes 1/8th of your Hp to do a Large blow to all enemies. The Charon ability will sacrifice the user heavy damage to all enemies, but the user cannot be revived and will not gain EXP in that battle, use only as a last resort. A good strategy is to use "Drain" after you use "Darkness". Of course the best way to use this dress is to team it up with healers like the White Mage or the Alchemist.

8)Beserker- Attack with quick and furious attacks, with there razor claws they can inflict good damage one foe. Once you learn the auto-abilities, such as "Counterattack" and "Magic Counter" your fighter will be able to attack back with out using a turn and becomes and independent killer that won't need much help from other members. Starting battles it is a good idea to use the "howl ability to double your HP. If your strategy is to just attack use the Berserk for a quick job without doing anything.

9)Songstress- With this dress you can cause status ailments with a 100% success rate, of course unless they are immune to it. But during the time and effect last your songstress will be dancing so once she stops so will the status effect. If the songstress Status effect isn't working power up your party with the sing abilities.

10)Black Mage- This dress simply allows you to do elemental attacks. However it is a good idea to not have more than one on the battle field so it won't through off the balance. Having a healer is also very helpful. Before a battle it's a good idea to use the "Focus" ability to strengthen your spell casting. When you gain the "MP Absorb" it will save you ethers.

11)White Mage- When equipped this dress will allow you to provide constant healing. Using the white mage's "Pray" will heal a small amount of hp, best to use "Cure", "Cura", and "Curaga" to one or all your party members at once. Use "Shell" and "Protect" to reduce damage from Magic Damage or Physical damage.

12)Lady Luck- If its your first time using it, its all about luck. However you can practice and time your reels to what you want. This dress can do both harm or help you party. So if you feel lucky Bring it on!!

13)Trainer- Each Gullwing had her own ancient animal. Each animal has as its own style of abilities, although some of them are similar, others aren't such as Rikkus as the ability to steal. Once your Hp drops or you are effected by Status ailments, use your pet skills to recover.

14)Mascot- Believe it or not this is one of the most powerful dresses despite its look. Each one has different skills to learn but the best is to be able to use other dresses skills while still in Mascot. And the Ribbon to prevent all Status ailments. Very good and useful Dress.

15)Floral Fallal-
16)Machina Maw-
17)Full Throttle-

Thanks to:
SqaureEnix-for making this game!Duh
BradyGames-For helping get the Dark Knight Dressphere
Chococat277-for just being there

short and sweet how to get dresspheres of chp.1

thief-default
warrior-default
songtress-default
gunner-default
black mage- beat the first lvl
white mage beat the boss on besaid islands

On level 40, there is the Black Elemental boss. His HP is not that high but his attacks are. he can hit you with single attacks for 9999 or do 9999 to the whole party. Make sure Yuna has maxed or at least close to maxed her Floral Fallal dressphere. Equip Yuna with the Unerring Path Garment Grid. Once the battle begins switch to Yuna's special dressphere as fast as possible. Once You are allowed to attack with it, do The Great Whirl attack and you MUST activate Mirror Petals first shot with her right pistil. This ability reflects all his magical attack right back at him self. Seeing as all his attacks are magical, you have this battle in the bag. He'll continue to attack himself and with you attacking him too the battle will be done in minutes.

After defeating the three aeons in chaprter 5 (Shiva, Magus Sisters, and Anima) level up easily on the road down to the farplane. If you get up near level 50-60, and switch directly to Yuna's special dressphere, you should be able to defeat any part of him with a few Great Whirl and Left Stigma attacks.
****Don't forget to heal while on Right Stigma****

When you start go until you get to the part with she-goons turn down the alley to your left. By the boxes you will see a person in a Moggle costume crouched over (this is Yuna in disguise). If you try to talk to her she will refill your (Rikku & Paine's) HP. You may notice that enemies continue to appear here. What you do is stand next to Yuna (The Moggle) so that when you press X she refills your health. Now, tape down the X button and put it into turbo mode so that X is repeatedly pressed. You will start to continuously refill health. Then, enemies will come. Don't touch anything! Do not try to get away. stay next to Yuna. You will enter the battle. Because X is held down and is in turbo mode Rikku and Paine will automatically attack. Once the battle is over, you will fill up health automatically. This cycle will continue and as it continues you will get skills.

NOTE: MAKE SURE TAPE IS SECURELY IN PLACE AS A FEW TIMES I DID THIS I DIDN'T PUT THE TAPE ON GOOD ENOUGH AND THE BUTTON CAME LOOSE AND I DIED!

Problems with Dark Ifrit and his Hellfire? Here's the trick: Equip all your partymembers with the Heart of Flame Garment Grid. Make sure you have the samurai, Dark Knight and Warrior Dresspheres in that grid (Or any other strong attacking dresssphere). This way you will defeat Dark Ifrit in no time!

Well once you have beatin the game a few times and have atleast two catnips and speed bracers simply go to bikanel desert where you encounter that big feind simply equip the catnips and speed bracers and of corse the gunner dresssphere with level3 triggerhappy(a must have)and let rip with one gunner closely followed by the other you should revieve 5000 exp and 5000 gil and also the spare charcter can use the ladyluck dresssphere so atleast one of use are getting 10000exp and you will always recieve 10000 gil you can do this on chapter1 and onwards goodluck......

Just ensure you have the magical dances volume 2, and that you have a songstress who can perform "Magical Masque", take two dark knights with you, and you are good to go. Have the songstress using highroad wind dress-sphere so she goes first, perform Magical Masque before the enemy even considers moving, you are now all immune to magical atacks. (I had my other two - the dark knights - using highroad winds too). a few rounds of this and lots of "darknesses" later the enemy is either severely weakened, or, more often than not, dead. Even Shiva and the Magus sisters are powerless against you !!!

If you need to heal up, change your characters into White Mages, because they have the lowest HP in the game. You can use regular Potions or low level white magic spells to cure them. Revert them back to their original classes and they'll be at max health.

Equip cat nip(found in Bevelle after defeating Black Elemental) and sprint shoes (found in the calm lands- west) which will ensure first strike. then, equip the gunner dress sphere and attack the person with these equipped until the HP is in yellow. Then, since you have first strike, you can use trigger happy and constantly hit for 9999 without dying and can kill very hard enemies. (espically good for places in Bevelle)

equip all your girls with alchamist ds and with the gg Highroad winds and then set your items so that holy water and a gem (either fire gem, water gem, ice gem or lightning gem) are the first two items in your item list then when u mix them together u will do about 7000 dmg and with all 3 of ur girls casting he dies easy even if he users flare then go pick up cat nip

gain some new equipment and raise your strenth and defense.Then go to a spot with monsters alot stronger then u are or a sidequest with stonger monsters stand by a save spot and fight if u get weak after the battle go to save spot regain hp then fight more and repeat.

In the Bikanel Desert while digging, a message will appear saying large unidentified object heading this way. Wait for a red arrow to appear on the map and head towards it, it's a huge monster that is kinda hard to beat but you can steal megaelixers from it and runaway.

You can always either:
A) Choose to have the Al Bhed tear O'aka a new one in chapter 2. Or
B) You can hide him on the airship, and drag together 100,000 gil. If you choose (B), you have some hard work set out for you. Unless...

If you go to the inn in Guadosalam before infiltrating Syndicate HQ, and buy data for 10,000 gil, one/two hints will get you 100,000 gil (equalling a profit of 90,000). Before buying the data, however, SAVE! Go inside, and talk to the guy, and buy the data.

If the hint(s) are, "It's the last person you'd expect", and "It's the closest person you can find", hit SQUARE and sell the data to the guy for 100,000 gil. If it's not, soft reset, and try again. Just don't expect it to come along quickly (I worked for half an hour)

Proceed to the airship, buy stuff from O'aka, preferrably on particular item (I bought Hi-Potions), and sell it off to Barkeep. Rinse, and repeat. In no time, you will pay off the debt. As an extra added bonus, you will also have majority of the 100,000. I did this with 10,000 gil (after buying the data) and still had 70,000 odd after paying off the debt.

just use the 777 on the random wheel, on the omega and u get a ribbon from him, the one that does the congrat!!

The key to Sphere Break and winning is simple all you basically need is the basic concept of elementary math. I have found that the easiest way to win is to get a coin with a multiplier echo and use coins that have the numbers 1,2,3, and 6. I defeated Shinra in 8 turns with this strategy and have never lost so its pretty easy. get a multiplier echo of 3 or four going and dont lose it. If u generally understand the game this will be easy if not, here's your explanation:

Say your core number is 3 and you want to use a multiplier echo of four combine numbers to make the sum of 12. While doing this you also have to be sure not to hit another multiplier while getting to twelve like 6 or 9 because that will break the chain. Now that you have started off with a (4) multiplier echo you will need to continue it, to do this, and rack up the coins, just make another muliple of your next core number. Note: the next number also has to be four times the core number so that you dont break the chain.

Keep doing this and you will be home free and will easily get the dress sphere lady luck!

An easy way to beabeat the Black Elemental in Via Infinito Cloister 40 is to have the Dark Knight Dressphere, with the ability Charon taught.

Just use Charon and it will cause 9999 damage!

Now you're done! Continue on to the end of Via Infinito! =)

Have Yuna as the trainer dressphere,rikku as the lady luck,and Paine as the Berserker dressphere. Okay, Yuna should have learned Pound! and Holy Kogoro, Rikku should learn Four Dice,and Paine should have Berserk. When fighting a boss, have Paine go Berserk even when she has snapped out of berserk keep casting it back on her.Next, have rikku keep doing the move Four Dice, and have Yuna keep doing Pound! or Holy Kogoro. Keep repeating this process in order to defeat bosses real easily.

If you didn't visit the Moonflow during Chapter 1, then at the beginning of Chapter 2 while pushing the musicians into the elevator. If you see Tobli push him in and he'll and over the accessory Enterprise. If you don't push Tobli in before the musicians then you will not receive the accessory.

Even though all my girls are level 99 I still had some trouble with the following fiends. So Im going to list how i finally beat them, Oversoul style.

*~Black Elemental~*
Have all 3 girls equipped with The High Road G.G. and the Gunner D.S. and simply use the Gunplay ability "Table Turner" before he uses Ultima

*~Elder Drake~*
Really Simple, to tell the truth. Just have at least one girl equipped with Beserker and "Evade and Counter." Enough Said.

*~Mega Tonberry~*
This guy gave me the most trouble, and still does. But just be patient and try this: Have 1 girl equipped with Gunner, Cat Nip (obtained by beating the level 40 boss - Black Elemental), have Trigger Happy Lv. 3, and a speed bracer. Another girl should be an Alchemist and should be ready to use a Mega Pheonix(This is b/c the Tonberrys kill fast), also have Items Lv. 2 or 3 (I can remember which) And the 3rd girl needs to be, well anything. Now before you fight him, MAKE SURE YOUR GUNNER HAS YELLOW HEALTH!!!! Then just simply use Trigger Happy on the Mega and Ignore the little one b/c after the big one dies she should use the rest of the time on the little one.

*~Concherer~*
I still have alot of problems with this guy. But really all you have do is, again, use Trigger Happy Lv 3 when you have low health and Cat Nip equiped. Repeat 2-3 times. Also have a Beserker with "Evade and Counter" and The Alchemist ready to use some Pheonix Downs.

*~Chac~*
Again have a Gunner with Cat Nip, Low Health and Trigger Happy Lv. 3. And the other 2girls equipped with The High Road G.G. and the Warrior D.S. Have them both use "Delay Buster." And the Gunner use Trigger Happy a couple of times.

There You Go!! Happy Killing!!

When you have to find the Syndicate Uniforms in Mt. Gagezet, follow the Goon up the mountain. When you see her jump down from the ledge, don't follow her. Go up where she just came to the top. Turn right and climb the rocks until you see a triangular rock. The Goons will be talking and then Ormi will appear. That's when the rock falls and Yuna, Rikku and Paine fall in the Hot Springs. There will be a scene where Rikku compares breast sizes. You'll see what I mean when you see it!

Go to Via Infinito, and equip a Lore Bracelet (it will work, only charm bangles dont work) and try to get into as many battles as you can on your way up, and by the time you are on level 80, your girls should be level 99, or close to it.

You might have known there was a catch but I found this was the easiest way to pay off Oaoka's debt. In CHAPTER THREE, make sure you talk to the goons next to Leblanc's door. After your finished with that, go back to the save sphere and head to the door on your right. As you can see, you need 10k to obtain a clue from the lady you talk to behind the counter. Trust me, you want to give her 10k! Once you have the money you need make sure to SAVE THE GAME. Once you've saved the game, go back to her and give her the money.. she'll give you a clue. You want the clue that says "Its the last person you'd expect. No question." so if you don't get it at first, restart your game and try again. It took me about 4 tries. When you get the clue above, go find who to give it too... (She's right before your eyes)... If you payed attention to the clues she gave you before, it should be a cinch.

Before a battle equip a berserker or a warrior and a songstress then cast berserk(assult) on the party especially the songstress / cast berserk on the songstress the the songstress will attack with her mic *it is not exactly a cheat but it is funny and a thing you dont get a songstress to do*

Go to Via Infinito on chapter 5(Charm bangle wont work here)wheen you get to cloister 40 you have to fight with black elemental,it's look really tough,but it have a trick.He use berserk,
flare that is targeted on 1 character and ultima that target your party,the bad of this is that he make 9,999 damage with flare(that kill the targeted character) and ultima (Will kill your party).

The trick whit this boss is to use a lunar curtain at the begining of the battle and it attack's will go to him(berserk and flare)if he use ultima he will kill you,but it's not a big problem,you just need to try it again,sometimes he only use berserk and flare.Next,select a Dark Knight with the Black Sky ability,(if you have ragnarok equip it on the dark knight to have a
0 mp cost,so you can use as much Black Sky's as you want\need or use ethers or turbo ether's).
He use flare all the time and it will lose bellow 1'500 hp every time it use it on you,the black sky work well too,so him come down in no time.You will get some accesories including Cat Nip.Equip it on a gunner whit lvl 3 trigger happyequip the speed bracer to the gunner,it will make it faster so it gave you a little more time to press R1.

Go to cloister 50-59 but dont get to 60,you will fight fiends that are tough but wheen your gunner have yellow hp(low hp)use the trigger happy to kill the fiends,and you have a big amount of EXP(it's recomended to use the other two character's lady luck dress sphere double EXP ability)you must be near a portal to get out wheen you are on trouble,wheen you are ready go to cloister 60,you gonna fight whit concherer,two rounds of trigger happy and it's dead,he give you 6'000 EXP x 2 becouse the double EXP=12'000,from 60-100 he apear like a normal fiend,use the same strategy.

Note:I get to lvl 90 whit this strategy.

First you must have the garment grip "Unerring Path" and then
after you got Rikkus spesial dressphere and trained a litle you will get an move that name is "death missile" that kills every enemy (if they arent immune to death) so go to a plase where you get really much exp and do it on every enemy now use the gamrnet grip on rikku becuse it haves only 2 dresspehere slots this will allow you to use the spesial dresspehere realy quick so just go and kill some beast!!!! =)

This is sort more off a tip than anything.
In chapter three when yuna gets thrown in the hole a few scenes will take place. After the scene you get the crimson spheres of nooj and gippal yuna will be on her own. You can now move around. Heres the secret bit:as you move around carry on pressing x. You will hear a total of 4 whistles. After the forth, if you have done it correctly, you will be taken out be a path of light with what looks like tidus leading the way. The, after defeating vegnugun and shuyin you will arrive in the farplane abyss. Press x again to here a whistle. Then a fayth will appear and ask you if you want to walk with him again. Answer yes. Now... when the credits have finished you will get the "happy" ending!

Unlockable: Bonus Dungeons

Fulfill these requirements to open up extra dungeons.

Chocobo Dungeon: Talk to Clasko after you raise at least three Chocobos to Level 5.

Fiend Colony: Raise a Level 5 Chocobo and send it to Mihen Road.

Via Infinito: In the room with the lift, in Chapter Five, there is a group of Kinderguardians, and a portal by them.

When you get the Cat Nip accessory from the Black Elemental equip your gunner (with the rank 3 trigger happy) with Catnip, and use the Highroad Winds GG, which allows first strike. This allows you to use whatever you want as a second slot item! I use Cat Nip and Ragnarok, so I don't waste mana on the large boss fights.

Also, for most battles where there are more than one enemy, you can just use the gunners "Scattershot" ability when at critical health, and instantly win the battle. EXTREMELY useful for those nasty spy satelites.

well i noticed that no-one has mentioned the best dress sphere in the game the mascot dress sphere.
well all you have to do to get this little beauty is to get chapter complete in every area in the game in chapter 5 but this is something you do thought the whole game, so don,t miss anything. this dress sphere is great you get alot of diff abilities for each girl. something from every dress sphere if i remember right, there like the special dress sphere with auto ribbon and things like that, there really strong too well good luck.

O.k. now when you run into the Elder Drake now make sure you have the beserker dressphere fully masterd. If you do not have it masterd then you really have no chance of winning. Having the beserker dressphere masterd causes her to evade and counter every attack that the Elder Drake comes at you with. Then all you have to do is when Elder Drake kills the others you will probably have to revive them very often but you will beat him eventually. So make sure you buy alot of Pheonix Downs. But if you want to avoid him here is the tip.

First Time- He is jumping back and forth so make sure you pass him while he is out of the way.

Second Time- He is in between two Pillars and it LOOKS like you have no choice but to fight him. But when you first see him go backwards and turn left and climb onto the pillar and then jump onto the platform. Then hit the switch and it will cause two platforms to go over the Elder Drakes head so you can now jump freely over him without fighting him. Now you just keep going on with your journey.

Hi, I was playing FFX-2 the other night. I fought Trema and when I went critical I did Trigger Happy and finished him off. The reason why? I had the Cat Nip accessory equipped. Here's how it works:

Enter the battle with all 3 characters on gunner, Critical HP and wearing Cat Nip accessory.

Then do Trigger Happy and it should deal 99999 damage, about 2 trigger happy's max. and Trema should be down for the count.

In order to get episode completes, you must look at Shinra's commspheres. Look at each area 15 or 25 times. After you find that hasty Tobli, look at them again. Come Chapter 5 comes you might get all of them.

Note: Bikinel Island and Luca is the only commsphere you don't have to look at. After you defeat Angra Mainyu at Bikinel and you go to the place where Tidus taught yuna how to whistle, you will get a Episode complete by default.

In Chapter 1 go to the Mushroom Rock and then talk to Clasko and after the mission. When you talk to him after the mission say the "more the merrier" and he will join you on the airship. Then go to The Calm Lands and follow him to the secert dungeon then make sure you clean out the dungeon by killing all the fiends in the place. Now you have the Chocobo Ranch now all you have to do now is go catch chocobos. Good Luck.


Now to get the Central Expanse you have to have a chocobo in the ranch. All you have to do is send one chocobo to Bikinil Desert and come back later and Clasko will say the chocobo had run away. No matter how many chocobos you have in the ranch it will still run away. Then you have to go to the Bikinil Island around chapter 5 and the central expanse will be yours happy hunting I mean digging (lol) well whateva till next time.

The best garmet gride to use is "Undying Storm".
To kill it you must put one of your players that is the best at white magic E.g Rikku.
Then you put the other two as dark knights and keep doing the attack "darkness".
Try your best to put confused-proof braclets on all of them but if you only have one put it on the white magic person.
with the white magic player you must put protect and shell on all the players and keep on healing the other players as when they do the move "darkness" they lose HP.
and when one of the mosters does bloody breath try to get a remedy on the person that has white magic as soon as possible as bloody breath makes them go silent,poisened and darkness.
and keep on doing this until to kill Angra Mainyu, it does work!!

If your new to this game, then this is a tip for the new people. When you first begin the game use Rikku's Steal ability to steal items from each battle.

Also, when leaving the stadium and running after the fake Yuna, check each pier. One will have a big moggle. That moggle will heal you if you are low on health.

After doing these two things you'll have a good amount of items to make things easier.

To do this, you must have chose to hide O'aka in the Celcius in Chapter 1, and pay off O'aka's debt. After paying off O'aka's debt, he opens his store in the Celcius for really cheap prices up until Chapter 3. So this trick will only work from the time you pay off his debt and when you return to Macalania Woods in Chapter 3.

Go to O'aka and buy 99 of each of the items he is selling then go to the Gullstore just a few steps away and sell them all. Repeat the cycle and you'll continue to add 11,000 gil to your savings each time you do. Buying once then selling without buying again from O'aka will get you 17,000 gil.

Looking for a good place to level up? Low-level characters should seek out Leblanc Syndicate's HQ. Mid-level characters will be best served at Cid's secret dungeon in Chapter 5 while High-level characters should head to the Depths of the Farplane.

A way to lvl up to lvl 99 without really playing the game.

Its also noted on other pages.
Dont have to need the best items.. dont need special bosses..

What to do?
at low lvl find a nice spot (for me it was thunder plains) and put some weight on the X button and the upper movement button and make sure you walk against a wall. Equip one person with the White Mage dressphere. And depending on which location u are.. equip some protection against the status u can receive from the fiends that place. (i had a protection against confusion because of the big annoying plant thing). The Pray will keep healing ur characters and u just slash away gaining lvls and ya can leave the Playstation while sleeping. Gave me lvl 40 when i woke up. (chapter 1)

Later when i came to the cave in the Calm Lands where the Aeon Yojimbo is there are nice fiends and exp too. At that time i was able to use an Accessoiry which converted Fire into HP. And use Ribbon.. and when no ribbon use protection for Poison. Same trick and i lvled up to 99. (however more difficult here because of the bees that use some WIMP skill.. which can cause ur auto play to hold and slowly kill u. Went better with 2 ribbons to make sure those were killed)

Basic idea.. find good spot.. equip correctly.. and make sure the x button and direction button are pressed.. and have sweet dreams

Having trouble with the Magus Sisters. Well, I have an easy way to get rid of them nice and easy.
You should have 2 Dark Knights and 1 Alchemist.
Keep on using Darkness with the 2 Dark Knights and heal them after using Darkness with Alchemist by mixing a Hi-Potion and Potion to attain a Mega-Potion.. this way you dont have to take off the Sisters focusing on one Sister at a time. NOTE: I think that you should at least be at Level 50 because this worked when I was on Level 52. Good Luck and Enjoy!

Want to change dresspheres, but not change? Fear not, because I have the solution. You will need a game plus file, played as many times as you wish. Make sure that each and everytime you get one of each dressphere. Keep playing through up to 6 times (that makes 6 of every dressphere), then customize any GG with the desired dressphere.

FINISH THE GAME AND YOU WILL GET NEW GAME PLUS WITH ALL THE DRESSPHERES, ITEMS YOU`VE COLLECTED AND THE ABILITES YOU`VE LEARNED AND COMPLETE MISSIONS YOU MISSED IN THE LAST GAME AND REWRITE A WHOLE NEW STORY. YOU MAY EVEN GET 100% COMPLETION!

When you are playing the game a second time through, you can start a new game plus from ANYWHERE in the game, you dont need to finish the game and get to the credits, just do a soft reset (L1, L2, R1, R2, Start, Select) and this will take you to the main menu, the new game plus option will now be there, select it, and you can use the equipment you just got, without finishing the game.

To power through the PR campaign in Chapter 1, do this. Sign up with either company and get them to Publicity Level 2. Now, go save and then go over to Sky Slots. Select the second level and wager 25 credits. Now, aim for the bird that either gets you a multiplier of 50 or 100. Try to line up three in a row and you'll have turned your 25 credits into 1250 or even 2500 credits. With the 100 credits that you initially have, that means you get 4 shots at it. If you aren't able to get it, buy more credits or reset and try again. Once you figure out how the birds line up and the timing, it's just a matter of a little luck. Repeat this trick (it'll be even easier now, since you have plenty of credits to try with) several times.

The conversion ratio in Chapter 1 is 20 credits gets you 1 publicity point. So in order to get 500 points, you'd theoretically need 10000 credits, although I've found that for some reason the game doesn't convert right if you wager the full 25 credits (which is fastest, since then it auto-takes you to the game) so you might need somewhat more. Now, just play Sky Slots level 2 and start losing credits like crazy. Have your finger on the down arrow to quickly wager 25 credits and fastly hit X to line up 3 birds and lose. If you follow this trick properly, you can be done with the publicity campaign in 2-3 hours in Chapter 1, maybe less, rather than having to spend hours campaigning throughout the game.

P.S.: This is also the best way to go about maxing both companies at Level 5, if you want to do that. That unlocks both special games and all prizes for both companies. To do that, you have to get 1000 with one company, then switch and get 500 with the other.

Remember how in FFX you could get a coupon to rename your pets once? Well, you can do it in FFX-2 for free, AND as many times as you want!

The first thing you have to do is rest in the Celsius at least ONCE in every chapter. When you rest in the fifth chapter, after resting in all of the previous four, you will be treated to a scene between Barkeep and Brother.

After the scene, approach the Barkeep and his lady friend. The options should now be "Gullstore", "Rest", "Pet Store", and "Nevermind"

Go to "Pet Store", and there you go! Have fun renaming them!
