Stat Maxing | Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Tips and Tricks 

There are some things (Like adding Brother to your team) that make blitz a breeze, As long as you get the Jecht shot for Tidus. Just very time consuming playing the minimum 26 games.

@@lawsonxvii6163 oh im aware, blitzball was piss easy which is why it was so boring, also perhaps im misremembering but i feel like it took a lot more than 26 matches, could be wrong but felt like an eternity for me

@@AntiRiku 26 is the absolute minimum. Wakka overdrive in 3 tournament games. 10 league games for 2nd overdrive. 3 tournament for last overdrive. Then 10 more league games for the sigil. I just did it yesterday 😂

@@lawsonxvii6163 oh damn you have my condolences then 💀 but congrats nonetheless on getting it over with 🫡 i hope that was your last trophy, or at least one of the last, because this game is still an absolute nightmare to complete

I enjoy blitzball I still play for fun

Edit: I made a Mistake by counting the spheres. In the first Section I leave the WRONG Version, to show my mistake. In the Second Section I Show the Corrected Version. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Section Thats a Lie! Its mathematically impossible to max out every stat + max out the HP and MP . And i can prove it ;) The standard Spehere Grid has 737 Slots. 85 of them are used by abilitys (and cant be deleted) so u have 652 remaining for Stat maxing. If u want to max out every Stat by having 99.999 HP, 999 MP and 120 Luck u need a total of 837 Slots (334 HP, 25 MP, 64 for each of ATK/DEF/SPD/EVA/ACC/MAG/MAG.DEF.) It simply doesnt fit. U have to choose between 255 in each Stat or max HP/MP. U cant have both! !!!WARNING!!! - Math below: 1. Example) 255 each - 120 Luck - 999 MP - ? HP 64x ATK 64x DEF 64x Speed 64x Evasion 64x Accuracy 64x Magic 64x Magic Defense 25x MP 30x Luck 149 x HP 64*7 + 25 + 30 = 503 652 - 503 = 149 149 * HP +300 = 44.700 HP So in the first example when we max out the Stats and Mana, we only have room for 149x HP +300 Spheres left. Even when we consider the Base Stats of each Character the amount of Spheres used to Stat maxing reduces only by 7 in total. 63 instead of 64. Even than we have only 46.800 HP for each Character. Not even half-way through ;) 2. Example) 255 for main 5 - 230 Luck - 999 MP - ? HP 64x ATK 64x DEF 64x Speed 64x Magic 64x Magic Defense 25x MP 56x Luck 251 x HP 64*5 + 25 + 56 = 401 652 - 401 = 251 251 * HP+300 = 75.200 HP _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Section The standard Spehere Grid has 856 Slots. 85 of them are used by abilitys (and cant be deleted) so u have 771 remaining for Stat maxing. If u want to max out every Stat by having 99.999 HP, 999 MP and 120 Luck u need a total of 837 Slots (334 HP, 25 MP, 30 Luck, 64 for each of ATK/DEF/SPD/EVA/ACC/MAG/MAG.DEF.) It simply doesnt fit. U have to choose between 255 in each Stat or max HP/MP. U cant have both! 1. Example) 255 each - 120 Luck - 999 MP - ? HP 64x ATK 64x DEF 64x Speed 64x Evasion 64x Accuracy 64x Magic 64x Magic Defense 25x MP 30x Luck ? x HP 64*7 + 25 + 30 = 503 771 - 503 = 268 268 * HP +300 = 80.400 HP So in the first example when we max out the Stats and Mana, we only have room for 268x HP +300 Spheres left. Even when we consider the Base Stats of each Character the amount of Spheres used to Stat maxing reduces only by 7-21 in total. 63-61 instead of 64. The only way to "max out" ur Character is to increase ur Luck above 230 as seen in the 2. Example 2. Example) 255 for main 5 - 230 Luck - 999 MP - 334 HP 64x ATK 64x DEF 64x Speed 64x Magic 64x Magic Defense 25x MP 56x Luck 334 x HP 64*5 + 25 + 56 = 401 771 - 401 = 370 334 * HP+300 = >99.999 HP In this case u have 26 Containers left u can fill up with what ever u want.

@@ThePjbasketballwhat if we go for 130 luck (the most you’ll need to always crit penance) and 255 for rest?

@@marctosh705 thank you for asking :) as I was answering ur question I mentioned a mistake in my first comment as i was writing down my used Spheres in my Playthrough with my maxed out Characters. However lets answer ur question :D So If u go for 130 Luck u only need 32--33 Luck Spheres and 126-128 Spheres in Total for Evasion and Accuracy and this doesnt fit in the Grid. (Considering the Spheres for ATK/DEF etc.) As I mentioned earlier the Sphere Grid has 771 Containers remaining for Stat maxing. So the Amount of Speheres u need to max out every Stat by having 130 Luck (1. Example) compared to the 2. Example would increase by at least 90 Spheres. If u get 130 Luck u really need to max out the Evasion and Accuracy Stat because 130 Luck only is not enough for the Dark Aeon "Magus Trio". U simply wont hit them, they step out of the Way when u attack. There is only one Way to max out your Characterstats with 99.999 HP and 999 MP. And the only Way that fit to the Grid is when u push ur Luck above 230. I tested this in my Playthrough through out the last 3 Weeks. I ended up with 63 ATK-Spheres 63 DEF-Spheres 61 Magic-Def-Spheres 61 Magic-Spheres 54 Luck Spheres 63 Speed-Spheres 25 Mana-Spheres 332 HP- Spheres My Characters had good base Stats so I didnt need 64 Spheres to push my stats to 255. In my case I had 49 Containers left which I filled up with Evasion to get the Achievment.

@@ThePjbasketball It’s called Agility, not speed, and you don’t run 255 agility unless you’re not breaking the HP limit. 170 agility is the hasted soft cap. The only benefit past 170 is on the very first turn of combat, assuming no ambush either way. Yuna’s slower Aeons also get a benefit from her being above 170 Agility, as several of them only have about 140 agility like that.

@@Teyeranitar Yeah, the Stat is called Agility but u need Speed-Spheres to activate them.

It was always part of ffx it’s how you got the Magus Sisters Aeon.

@@diddymouse816 oh really?! They were in FFX?!. Sheesh this game is something else. I’m still finding out stuff about it I never knew. I thought the MSisters were only in FFX-2. Cool man.

@@JMrealgamerthe arena is how you get Yuma celestial weapon, auron’s celestial upgrade, all late game items

If you have Luck That high you don’t Need hit or avasion at all. Bc luck is Hit/Dodge/Crit. So you could Go with 255 luck and get the Rest HP if you wanna Go with a Break HP limed build

In ffx we use a sphere that deletes a sphere and then you can make it a different sphere of your choice. I don't know the sphere name what does it through

Clear sphere ​@@frankevans7039

You did Penance but not Yojimbo?

I find it hard to believe you beat the game at level 0

How to ruin the game by cheating basically

​@@francescofagioli2508 or, like me, who played the game in his childhood and already defeated peanance and nemesis (called Deus, in the german PAL version i had) etc, and already know, what being min maxed in this game feels like after hundreds and hundreds of hours of grinding and dont want to go through the same thing again while working a full time job you know?

@@xuchilbara21392 still cheating no matter how u put it

@@francescofagioli2508 yeah but who Cares ? Whom do i have to prove anything ? Why the hell should i grind for Darkcrystals for hours If i already know what It's Like ? Im playing a Video Game, im not writing my PhD

@@xuchilbara21392 again, u can do what u want, Ur still a cheater

we are tlaking about min maxing here standart = more nods = better for the rest you'll get all ability on all char anyway so such thing as you mentioned dont matter

The expert grid literally has less nodes. There’s zero argument for it, if you’re stat maxing you DO NOT go with the expert grid.

Good luck! Ask away lang if may portion na hindi ka sure. I'll do my best to help.

@@KindredCVS bro, di ko gets pano ma unlock yung clear sphere. Sabi sa google, capture 5 etc. Pasagot pls tnx.

@@rupertchristian4587 Capture 5 of every fiend na makikita mo in every area sa game (minus the machinas), from Besaid to Zanarkand (plus Omega Ruins, and Inside Sin)

@@KindredCVS bro, 10 na lahat ng capture ko, from besaid to inside sin. Sinagad ko na lahat para maganda tignan. Haha

@@rupertchristian4587 Ah 'yun pala, kung aiming ka for platinum trophy, kailangan talaga 10 of everything. Kung hindi mo pa rin makita yung Clear Spheres, bibilhin mo yun from the monster keeper. Select mo lang "Buy Items", nasa pinakababa. 10000 gil per Clear Sphere.

Time-wise efficiency, evasion and accuracy.

What I've heard from other sources, Luck has a soft cap of like 130, and when you get to a point where you're 99999 on standard hits in most fights crits become kinda pointless.

@@EmberwindTale you need 230 luck for always crit/hit even under darkness as well as a combination of luck and evasion adding up to 290 in order to dodge the fastest physical attack you can dodge

Because it feels and looks good.

I just did it. You can get 255 in everything and 99999 hp

​@@SamsarasArtI'm currently trying to get all stats to max and 99999 HP and MP. Could you tell me if it will be necessary to use Clear Spheres or is it possible to maximize everything together with HP and MP at 99999?

You definitely can use those. You won't need to delete the ones you will manually place since it grants a +4 for a stat (+300 for HP). It's going to be really easy to back track later on as can simply defeat an enemy in the Monster Arena to acquire Teleport Sphere or a Return Sphere.

Expert, due to it having less nodes.

These are endgame stuff.

After you get the airship, but your best bet is to get monster hunter weapons with capture and start capturing 4 of each fiends in spira as soon as you get to the calm lands. As youll be rewarded with insane amount of upgrade items for doing so

just wait until the airship all the bosses between calm lands and airship can be beaten relatively easily with abusing aeon overdrives

Double Overdrive is enough. It is more time consuming gathering Winning Formulas.

@@KindredCVS thanks for the fast reply I have another question 😅, when would it be a good time to start fighting the dark aeons, before or after nemesis? Like how much strength, defence, agility, etc should I have Thing is I don't wanna be too overleveled to the point it ruins the fights

@@demigod7774 Honestly, I can't go to specifics with regards to stats because I have always grinded first before taking on both Nemesis and the Dark Aeons. Nemesis is kind of in a weird spot because it is stronger than some dark aeons, while it is also weaker to some. One thing for sure is, Nemesis is stronger than Dark Valefor lol.

@@KindredCVS damn and I still can't take on dak valefor haha, anyway I'll fight them from time to time and see when I'm confortable with the fight And thanks again for the help

most likely way too late but you dont have to worry actually the item you recieve will allow you to make 3-4 item for that once those 3-4char are done in stats you can just farm the boss just before the last at the training and get item straight with *3/*3/ov into ap for the other char probably the easiest way out if you dont mind dont the extra char later

Thanks!

not at all you dont even need to complete it a single time at all and most likely wont even have half of it on any char just do the capture full first so you spend the rest of time in the cem, do the ultimate weap for your 3 main (rik tid wakka) before as well it'll help a lot once there you can use the xp strat to full it on those 3 char first (easy and help but not a must)

You don't necesary have to delete the +1 nodes unless you want to optimize your sphere grid. You can buy Clear Spheres from the keeper in Monster Arena after catching 5 of every fiend from all over Spira.

You buy them from the arena calm land arena shop. He starts selling them at 10,000 gold each. I think it's after you capture all 10 of all creatures. He will tell you. I have some new items in stock. Just scroll down to the bottom and bam. Clear spheres

@@kylereilly3584 thanks for the answer, really appreciate it!

@@satorusama yeah no problem mate

Should be possible as others have attempted it with 9999 HP, but expect the fight to take really long if you want to cap your damage to 9999.

It’s a 10 hour fight without break damage limit. Bad idea, but good luck I guess.

Omega ruins to farm ap before the 👻 monster arena. Make sure to have a weapon with first strike for those pesky Marlboros. I did that for a bit and then just used Anima to kill one eye for days straight til I got triple ap weapons for everyone

Just like what Freeq said, Omega Ruins. But if the monsters there still feel tough for you, then you can farm in Inside Sin in the meantime.

use a char with a weapon for first strike => switch to wakka => wakka overdrive as long you made your str up wich usually come first, this strat will allow you to take done most of stats mobs without worry if needed you can double up with yuna prempetive strike into anima overdrive

EDIT: Not sure why I said yes here lol. It's either 99999 HP with not max Accuracy and Evasion, or max Acc. and Evasion but not 99999 HP. It sure is. Just make sure to properly clear the Grid beforehand from those that only provide +200 HP, +20 MP, +3/+2/+1 Str/Mag/etc., and then replace those with +300 HP, +40 MP, and +4 equivalent for the other stats to maximize the available nodes. Since in my case I maxed out the Luck stat, I didn't need to increase both Acc and Evasion at all. I got some extra empty nodes that I filled with HP Spheres, which allowed my characters to reach 99999 HP. Managing this is easier on a normal Sphere Grid as it has more nodes by default compared to the Expert Grid.

I did that and I think I may have screwed up something. Cause trying for full max i could only reach around 74k Hp. Probably gonna need to clear some evasion and accuracy since luck already covers... I will recheck it, but 255 everything including luck, evasion and acc seems to take too much space

@@wagnerfamiliar8112 Since you have already maxed out Luck, I personally suggest deleting Accuracy and Evasion nodes if you are really keen on maxing out HP. Think of luck as the combined version of evasion and accuracy. You can more or less keep those two at lower values since Luck already makes up for them. I believe there's only 1 boss or so that will require you a bit more accuracy stat to consistently land hits, but even so, you can make up for it by casting Aim during battle.

not for no reason, it's just more beautiful to see a window full of 255 it make sense and no it's not when using the standart grid (offering the most nods) and pushing mp and stats to 255 you'll reach 67k5hp / character with what's left considering you can do all fight and never die in those at that lvl (you no longer have to depend on auto phoenix and other) you can just use 1 item to double max hp at fight start like here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_RrP6elF_4w.html that way you can tank more attack before actually healing yourself and ending up using more turn to attack but that's rly min/maxing stuff for like 2-3 fight most where it'll save you time

so many who hate bliz would go mad at you for that coment :P

@@Namo-xx1sz because they never recruited wedge asap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I played that more than the game

Yes

@@jodelsebastian9660 awesome I think I may have done too many spec def spheres, gonna try to beat nemesis this summer finally

@@darcash1738 nice man just started back up again and preparing for dark aeons, penance and nemesis

For most normal encounters, yes. But for secret bosses, nope as they have huge amounts of HP.

It's applicable to normal Sphere Grid too. The number indicates how many you need to reach the stat's max value of 255. If you plan on keeping some of the spheres already present in your grid, the number you need to farm may be less. (You can delete spheres later on using a Clear Sphere)

@@KindredCVS I was wondering what about luck, agility and evasion? there seems to be different guides saying different things, with some saying get luck to 85, others 130 or 230. And then agility to 170? I want the easiest and quickest way, as I know farming luck spheres is a pain

@@lavayuki Exactly why I stated only 43 Ability Spheres. 43x4=172. 170 is technically the max for Agility stat. As for luck, it's basically this way: a. If you plan on reaching 230 value with the luck stat, then you can more or less ignore increasing Accuracy and Evasion. No need to max those at all as high luck stat is basically the equivalent of maxing both of those as well. OR b. You can max both Accuracy and Evasion to 255, and have the luck stat at around 130~. Method "b" is faster to do, as it is time consuming to farm Fortune Spheres to activate Luck nodes.

@@KindredCVS Awesome thank you! Will go with option B then. So luck at 130, accuracy and evasion at 255, and then Evasion at 170 would be ok. Is there a point in maxing magic and MP, or is strength, magic defence and physical defence at 255 enough?

Max MP to 999 at the very least. You'll need that for the Quick Hits which cost 36 MP every time you use it. As for Magic, it's up to you. You might not need it if you rely on Rikku's Mix overdrive for heals. Or if you only plan on having 9999 HP on your characters, you can just use an X-Potion for healing. I have always maxed it out myself since I use Curaga even against the Dark Aeons.

To each their own. If you feel it's faster then by all means, go with your method. Personally I find it too long because of her attack animations.

Either will do.

@@KindredCVS oh i see,which type controller you using?

@@user-vr8mc7ic2g PS4 controller :) Use whichever you feel is more comfortable for you.

If you are aiming to unlock everything, then yes.

@@KindredCVS no just for lvling

@@glory3315 If solely for levelling, then just refer to the part of the video where you need to battle Don Tonberry. It would require specific weapon abilities though. If you would like to add more spheres into the sphere grid to further increase their overall stats, then refer to the sections that mention strength sphere / magic sphere / agility sphere / etc. Take note that farming would require grinding as well as these fiends are strong.

that is his canonical name according to the producer and when its voice acted in other games its also pronounced that way

That's how they call him in Dissidia games.

i also remember an article from around the time before the game came out where they were introducing you to the characters in a gaming magazine it had in the article how to phonetically pronounce it because they knew ppl would get it wrong it was in the same magazine that they talked about how MGS2 was being delayed because that had to cut out that part where they show the twin towers shortly after 9/11

Wow you only used holy to defeat dark Aeons and Penance,?

@@kazumi1315 late but i mean usually i go Kimahri holy path, then teleport yuna there. with Yuna's high magic she doesn't have a good offensive spell, until holy. once i got to that point yuna Holy does 9999 only takes like a few turns to decimate all enemy's besides some in the omega ruins, also her weapon s the easiest to max so she breaks limit dmg real fast

Turn on CC for subtitles, but your feedback is noted for future videos. Thanks.

Try mo i max stat bawat Aeons mas masaya, ahaha

Nvm, listening at 0.75x.

You can find some Tipps about it on RU-vid. Like Dodge Birds is more Important then Balloons or in the First Part (After the ramp) it’s better to Dodge From left to right in the secound Part it’s better to Dodge From Right to left. But it’s just a Time thing somehow i made it too 😂 But omg so annoying this Mini Game

just accept you'll loose the race if you get a bad starter set up not to get mad over it, focus on the good one this alone should help haha ^^ for the rest there are quite some vid out there one habit you can take is to count the bal, as soon you reach 13 you just focus on avoiding bird/dont take risk for more

Did u beat it
