Yes, I know that Lulu is married, and no, I don’t care
Tumblr media
Take my silly comic about Paine having a donger anyway.
I really like how Lulu in general came out, especially her breasts and the lines of her torso; she’s supposed to have a bit of a mom bod, but unfortunately, I haven’t had a lot of practice drawing overweight women, so this is a bit of a learning experience for me.
Drawn with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, Sakura of Japan Micron and Brush pens, and Copic Ciao and Sketch markers, as well as Sakura white Gelly Roll pens.

So the gals who can sing in FF are now as follows: Celes, Aerith (now because of FFVII Rebirth), Julia (from FFVIII: she's Rinoa's mom, who wrote and sang the game's theme song "Eyes on Me," and all), Garnet, Yuna, Lenne, and Lunafreya (it seems she sings to talk to the Astrals, maybe? She does with Leviathan, at least).
Edit: Oh, yeah! And one of the Yeuls, too!

For the character ask meme, how about Yuna and 14, 18, and/or 25?
Absolutely!
14: Assign a fashion aesthetic for her:
Hm, my first thought would be something like geisha core or flowercore, but I'm not sure those are actually aesthetics. A Google search tells me geisha core is more traditional, and while Yuna's canon outfit definitely takes inspiration from a kimono, I think it's too experimental for that.
Tumblr media
And looking at a breakdown for flowercore/bloomcore on the Aesthetics Wiki (a thing!) that doesn't sound right at all. I think I'm also making a mistake if I only focus on her original canon outfit and neglect all the different dresspheres from FFX-2.
So one of the first things that strikes me when I look at it that way is that Yuna's outfits really exemplify the free-spirited, ethereal, 70's-inspired look of the early 2000s. It's a video game, so things are exaggerated, but when I look at her Gunner outfit, I see the soft peasanty blouses, the fringed leather belts, and the ruffles of 2002 or so. And let's not forget the low-rise jeans and tall boots. I'm not sure this is what most people think of when they say Y2K core (it's not a velour track suit), but to me, this is extremely Y2K.
Tumblr media
Her Songstress outfit gives me a similar millennial vibe -- a ruffled 70s-ish blouse, the waterfall effect, the pleated miniskirt.
Tumblr media
Her outfits also feel very flowing and organic, so I'm going to go with something like... Oceanic Y2Kcore.
18: A canon relationship with the character you admire:
One of the strongest elements of FF10 is the close bond the party shares, and that all centers on Yuna. And it's hard to pick a favorite there. I like how Rikku probably doesn't even know her cousin well, and she realizes she's always going to be in the minority when it comes to arguments about religion and philosophy, but she still leaves her home to try to save Yuna. I love Kimahri as the big stern, but loving, bodyguard. And I think Auron and Yuna have an intriguing dynamic; Yuna must have spent so many years imagining her father's journey with Auron, and she meets him with so much respect. But I wonder how it might have shaken her to see what he was like in reality. He's not antagonistic, he takes very good care of her, but I doubt he was what she expected.
But the first relationship that popped into my head was Yuna and Lulu. Lulu's just as stern and forbidding as Kimahri and Auron, but I like that the game takes time to show her being soft, sort of like a sister, but also very much like a mentor. I can imagine Yuna growing up looking up to Lulu so much, and while she doesn't try to imitate Lulu, I have to think Lulu had a huge role in forming her personality. The idea of Lulu loving Yuna so much, and then choosing to guide her to her death -- while Lulu herself has already failed at this on another pilgrimage -- is heartbreaking. They both must be so strong to undertake that, and to carry it out with a smile -- or, in Lulu's case, a slightly more neutral frown. Quiet strength like that (even if their choice is questionable) is something I really admire, as I'm much more likely to do something difficult kicking and complaining all the way.
25: What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
I can actually faintly remember the first time I saw a FF10 article in... PS2 Magazine, I think? And they had Yuna's classic character render pictured. I remember not liking her outfit, but I thought it was cool she had two-colored eyes. At that time, I'd only been playing JRPGs a few years, so I was pretty familiar with FF, but didn't have a huge pool of other heroines to judge her against -- Rosa, Terra, Aerith, Rinoa, Garnet. I think I was intrigued by her, but not very enthusiastic.
I came to really, really like Yuna after playing the first game, but being very disappointed by her evolution in FFX-2. I felt like they'd traded that quiet strength that had spoken so loudly to me for a shallower, more conventional action-based heroine. It soured my feelings on the character for a while.
But more recently, I'm over that. I understand what they were trying to do with FFX-2 -- show this character who had been utterly shaped by cultural expectations finally breaking free. It's not how I would have written her development, but I'm more at peace with it. And I still really like her from the original game. As for the post-FFX-2 canon, it honestly baffles me, the direction they've taken things in. I tend to just mentally stop things right at the best end of FFX-2 and just leave it there.
Also, now I love her original game outfit.
Thank you for the ask, this was fun!

How To Beat the Via Infinito Bosses in Final Fantasy X-2
March 28, 2024
Tumblr media
I have played Final Fantasy X-2 since I was a kid, but I have never made it through all 100 levels of the Via Infinito dungeon. I have always stopped at Cloister 20 because this dungeon is tough!
However, this time around I decided I would actually attempt to beat all the bosses, including the scary Paragon and super scary Trema. (999,999 HP!?!)
Younger Me would be ecstatic to know that I actually did it! And while it was hard, it wasn't THAT bad. It just takes patience and strategy. Here's what I did for each boss fight.
Cloister 20 - Aranea (18,280 HP/178 MP)
Yuna: Berserker, Rikku: Psychic, Paine: Festivalist Character levels: in the 50's to 60's range This is just a typical boss fight. I attacked and healed as necessary.
Cloister 40 - Black Elemental (9,999 HP/2,380 MP)
Yuna: Berserker, Rikku: Songstress, Paine: Festivalist Character levels: mid to high 70's This one was super hard until I switched Rikku to a Songstress. I had her "dance" the ability "Magical Masque" which nullifies all magical attacks while she's dancing. This stopped Black Elemental from causing any damage. While Rikku danced, I had Yuna and Paine quickly attacking until it died.
Cloister 60 - Concherer (343,280 HP/170 MP)
Yuna: Thief, Rikku: Dark Knight, Paine: Dark Knight Character levels: in the 80's range I equipped Thief Yuna with Cat Nip (causes 9,999 damage when HP is low) and a Haste Bangle (Auto-Haste when HP is low). I put Rikku and Paine as Dark Knights because I needed them to have high defense. I was also using Rikku and Paine as my item healers whenever necessary. Thief is very fast and with their 2 daggers, they are hitting 9,999 twice each turn.
Cloister 80 - Chac (437,850 HP/820 MP)
Yuna (Lvl 87): Thief, Rikku (Lvl 89): Mascot, Paine (Lvl 92): Mascot SOUL SPRINGS or MANA SPRINGS are a must! Thief Yuna has Cat Nip and Haste Bangle (see above), and Rikku and Paine are both wearing the Mascot dressphere. They were equipped with HP+ accessories and Speed Bracers which casts Auto-Haste. Chac is super fast so having Auto-Haste helps! I didn't have any Soul Springs but I did have 7 Mana Springs. They both take MP away from the enemy. I tossed 4 Mana Springs and depleted Chac's MP enough to where she could not cast Heaven's Cataract anymore. This is a game-changer because it deals so much damage to all 3 characters. You still have to be fast enough to cure Petrification (because the Ribbon is useless, unfortunately) but besides that, having Heaven's Cataract gone makes this battle a lot easier. You also have to get lucky that she doesn't Petrify your Cat Nip + Haste Thief! (Or at least be fast enough to heal them!) The first time I beat Chac, Rikku was obliterated and Paine died, Yuna survived and she was able to evade all of Chac's attacks and eventually took her down alone. But I wasn't happy with that, so I played it again and successfully kept all 3 girls alive!! (That's why I say you have get lucky, but it IS possible to keep all 3 girls alive.)
Cloister ∞ - Paragon (200,000 HP/9,999 MP)
Yuna (Lvl 96): Mascot, Rikku (Lvl 98): Thief, Paine (Lvl 99): Mascot I switched Rikku to a Thief because I wanted to use the Moogle Mascot's white magic. I kept Paine as a Mascot and had her using the Cactling Gun ability (causes 9,999 damage each time).
Yuna and Paine were equipped with an Oath Veil (Magic Defense +60) and a Ribbon. I also equipped the Higher Power Garment Grid because it allowed them to break the HP limit. Immediately at the start of the fight, I used a Chocobo Wing (casts Haste on the party) and a Stamina Tonic (doubles the party's HP). Then I used X-potions to raise their HP to around 12,000. Yuna focuses on healing with Moogle Cure, and they both throw Phoenix Downs at Rikku whenever necessary.
Rikku had Cat Nip and a Haste Bangle equipped as well as the Highroad Winds Garment Grid (First Strike). She was hitting 9,999 attacks twice each turn.
Cloister ∞ - Trema (999,999 HP/999 MP)
Yuna (Lvl 96): Mascot, Rikku (Lvl 98): Thief, Paine (Lvl 99): Mascot Immediately after defeating Paragon, you are thrown into a fight with Trema. Yuna died in the previous fight so I had to QUICKLY use a Phoenix Down, then Chocobo Feather and Stamina Tonic + X-Potion. I also used Elixers and Turbo Ethers because Paine's Cactling Gun uses up a lot of MP. Rikku was doing the same as before, she was just attacking each turn. Yuna's focus was ONLY to cure this time. Whenever she or Paine were around 6,000 HP I would use an X-Potion or Elixir. Around 9,000 I would use Moogle Cure to bump them back to around 12,000. Thankfully the Mascot dresspheres have incredible defense and magic defense (plus the added Oath Veils +60 magic defense helped a ton.) This was very much a slow and steady match, but very possible!

Hear me out. The FFX-2 but C'oretta as Riku, Dark Autumn as Paine, and Aeryn as Yuna. The games opening with them in it may have been living rent free in my head all morning
It's showtime, girls!
Tumblr media
I spent way too long on this. It's tricky, especially if staying within Job limitations. Their outfits are so customized (and I wish we had them as cosplay options), but some googling for help with Paine and Rikku worked out well enough.
Went with Yuna's songstress look, with the gun. I could have used the High Summoner outfit, sure, but this is specifically FFX-2 YRP edition Yuna. She kept the boots, anyway (or rather, Lenne did...).

Mezzo Plays Final Fantasy X-2: Part 1
Yep, it's happening again. Final Fantasy X-2 (pronounced 'ten-two') is the direct sequel to Final Fantasy X, and the first actual sequel in the franchise. That helps explain its odd title a bit. Like before, I'm playing the HD Remastered version on PC, which conveniently has both games in a bundle, plus some other bonuses.
Tumblr media
Eternal Calm is a cutscene that bridges the gap between X and X-2 a bit. It's not included with the original PS2 release of either, but is here along with everything else for the HD version.
Tumblr media
Yuna's practicing her diving skills off the coast of Besaid, and 2 minutes 41 seconds is her new record for how long she can hold her breath. Wakka is impressed.
Tumblr media
Two years have passed since Sin was defeated, and the Eternal Calm began.
Tumblr media
She returns to the temple in Besaid Village, meeting with a concerned villager.
Tumblr media
He's upset because his grandson has apparently joined the Youth League, while he and his wife are members of New Yevon.
Tumblr media
"In the last two years, new groups have been springing up all over. Everyone wants to be part of a new age. Everyone wants to build a new age. Everyone wants to build a new Spira. People have different ideas, and sometimes, they disagree on the right thing to do. Some people worry about what the new age will bring. I just have to tell myself that for now, I'm doing the right thing."
Tumblr media
Out on the bridge, Wakka asks Yuna if she's thought about settling down with someone. She's not interested in any potential suitors, and wants to make that clear to people.
Tumblr media
A recruiter for the Youth League shows up, and Yuna gives her thoughts on that too.
Tumblr media
Rikku arrives shortly after, and she has something to show them. She takes them out onto her salvage ship to do so.
Tumblr media
The thing is a recording sphere. Kimahri apparently found it on Mt. Gagazet.
Tumblr media
Tidus? Is that you? It's hard to tell since the footage is so grainy. He's stuck in a cage somewhere, ranting about how he only did what he could to protect the summoner.
Tumblr media
Despite him not being able to be renamed in this game, they're still not going to ever mention his name. Rikku thinks that she should head off to find more about it, and that Yuna should come with. Wakka isn't sure about that.
Tumblr media
But after all that she's done, shouldn't Yuna be able to do what she wants, not what everyone else wants?
Tumblr media
Yuna comes to a decision.
After that's out of the way, we can begin the game proper.
Tumblr media
We open at the blitzball stadium in Luca.
Tumblr media
There's quite the crowd present.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yuna takes the stage!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What can I do for you?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the stands, Rikku watches from a pair of binoculars. Well, until a guard attacks her, giving her an opportunity for some cool poses.
Tumblr media
As the concert continues, another girl finds herself in a similar situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rikku and Paine hijack one of the guitarists' floating platforms and use it to move up to the stage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Battle time already? This game's battle system is pretty different from its predecessor. This uses the Active Time Battle system common to many other Final Fantasy games, where each player's turn is on a timer (represented by the green bar underneath their HP display). For skills, Rikku has Steal available, and Paine can make use of Auron's Power Break.
Tumblr media
Why are they fighting Yuna, though? Is this a fake?
Tumblr media
After beating her, she runs offstage, and the other two pursue.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some more goons pop up to bar the way, but they don't last long against Rikku and Paine's attacks.
Tumblr media
This guy's a little tougher, though.
Tumblr media
As is his partner. They move to attack, but find themselves repelled by a hail of gunfire.
Tumblr media
The true Yuna has arrived.
Tumblr media
Group pose!
Tumblr media
The tall guy is Logos, the short one Ormi. Yuna and crew fight them together. Yuna has access to the Trigger Happy skill, which lets you continuously fire by tapping the button for a few seconds.
Tumblr media
They sure didn't last long.
Tumblr media
Fake Yuna appears to back them up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She obliges, removing her disguise. "But it won't be yours for long!"
Tumblr media
Time to show off a new gameplay mechanic. By using the Spherechange command, you can switch jobs mid-battle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This comes with a very magical girl outfit change sequence.
Tumblr media
And boom. Yuna's switched from Gunner to Songstress.
Tumblr media
Now she can support the party with song and dance. Right now all she has is Darkness Dance, which blinds the opposition.
Tumblr media
I decided to have Rikku switch jobs too. Leblanc here doesn't have anything of use to steal, so she changed from Thief to Warrior.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"So, I just hit stuff until we win? Sounds easy." This gives her the same skillset as Paine.
Tumblr media
Leblanc was soon dealt with.
Tumblr media
Yuna does a little dance.
Tumblr media
And here's a closeup shot of the real Yuna, for completeness' sake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The character advancement system is different now, using the traditional EXP and levels rather than the Sphere Grid. I'll get into that more later on. For now, let's get out of here.
Tumblr media
Welcome aboard the Celsius. That's right, we get the airship right from the start this time.
Tumblr media
Yuna explains that she couldn't control herself, and it was like someone else was dancing.
Tumblr media
The inventor of the Garment Grid system offers his input.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rikku's brother would have loved to see Yuna dance, but it's not happening.
Tumblr media
No time to worry about that, though. The Gullwings have a new mission ready, but I'm not going for it quite yet.
Tumblr media
Yuna takes a moment to muse on the new goth chick. Apparently Lulu was considered for this spot at one point, but the team realized that her harsh attitude just would not work with this game.
"I still don't know her very well. She's not exactly the talkative type. Apparently she joined the Gullwings shortly before I did..."
Tumblr media
Like in X-1, save spheres give a full HP/MP restore, plus allow you to board the airship from anywhere. This one marks a good stopping point for now, before the Gullwings head out for their next mission.

Lets see my progress so far with Dresspheres
Gun Mage: 95 percent for all three of the girls. I think I need to go to that area in Bevelle in chapter 5 for the final Blue Bullet abilities.
100 percents so far
Yuna: Gunner, Songstress as far as I can get in chapter 3, same for her Special Dressphere ( Rikku and Paine’s special spheres are also maxed out as much as I could so far ) , Warrior, Dark Knight, Samurai, Black Mage, White Mage
Rikku: Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, Alchemist
Paine: Warrior, Dark Knight, Black Mage, White Mage, Festivalist
I do want to get Rikku 100 percent on Warrior just because its ridonkulously easy to level that one. Just spam Sentinel once you learn it.
Atm I’m leveling Samurai with Rikku. Trainer for Yuna and Paine for fun. I’ll probably level Rikku with Trainer after Samurai and Warrior.

Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster Part 1 - Chapter 1 & 2 on YRP’s Adventures
Tumblr media
I still think that for all the dress spheres, only the main ones (including the songstress) had effort put into it because I remember the rest being pretty ugly lmao. . Anyway! Always happy to see Rikku. Not too fond of her costume since she’s barely wearing anything LOL, but I guess it suits her despite that. Leblanc the thief dancing in the form of Yuna is still weird lol, I know she took her garment grid but does that make her take on her face etc too?? Lol, I never understood that. I always find it so funny to go touch the crouched Yuna wearing the moogle costume to heal your HP/MP hahaha. I remember everything about the introduction so not much to say besides, I wonder when Yuna learnt to use a gun? Still think Yuna’s Gunner costume is like female Tidus, but I guess since the focus of FFX-2 is her seeing a sphere of Shuyin thinking it’s Tidus so she goes around looking for similar spheres to see if she can somehow find him again, it’s a very fitting costume haha. Brother learning their language to communicate better with Yuna is so cute. Anyway, let’s see if I enjoy FFX-2! I don’t remember much about it but I remember thinking it was okay…hahaha.
I still remember the running after and beating Leblanc to the top of the Mt Gagazet ruin in a limited amount of time! I remember thinking it was so annoying because I was so lost the first time I did it, and the timer being annoying didn’t help hahaha. Think I missed one item but whatever, I got there with like plenty of time to spare XD The most memorable optional visit is definitely the Luca one, I think it’s so funny to see Yuna’s perspective of the beginning, since she had to hide in a moogle costume whilst Rikku and Paine dealt with Leblanc the thief haha. Yuna’s so expressive in her moogle costume that it was pretty funny. Dona and Barthello in Luca are as meh as usual, never been fond of Dona haha. Running through Mi'ihen highroad was dangg tiring though, so many battles loll, the encounter rate is high. Oh well, I guess I learn my skills that way.
I remember visiting the Youth League headquarters and talking to Maechen, he gives a nice little background on what happened in these two years and how the Youth League came to be so it’s worth a listen even if it’s a bit long. Considering that Clasko enjoyed taking care of chocobos, I’m not sure why he’s playing tour guide here, at least he follows us along on the airship after? LOL when he asks if he can come along and the no option is “sorry loser”, so mean hahahaha. I also remember the mission at the Moonflow where you have to protect the hypello from bandits! I remember failing in the past hahahaah, I guess I’m better now since I did it on the first try?
Gippal was and will always be my favourite new guy in FFX-2, Nooj and Baralai have always been pretty meh to me. Gippal is funny, cool and pretty cute. I guess alike others, I would ship him with Rikku hahaha. As the leader of the machine faction, he’s doing a lot of good for Spira as well since he’s helping to improve their lives, such as fixing the lightning rods in the Thunder Plains so that we’ll never need to dodge lightning ever again hahaha! I still remember Macalania Woods very well because I really love how ethereal it all looks and since Tidus and Yuna had their scene here, it’s hard to not think it’s a beautiful place. So really, thinking about how the Fayth not being here anymore is causing the woods to slowly die is just so saddening. It only adds to the sadness to see the once proud Guado be left scattered everywhere, hiding in Macalania and other places after not being able to fend off the Ronsos that came for revenge. Considering how much the Guado did in support for Seymour, it’s difficult to not hate them, nevertheless it’s still sad though.
The Calm Lands seem even more vast now, so many mini games but yeah omg, that publicity campaign for one of the companies there, I remember that! I remember thinking it was so annoying lol. Had to track my footsteps and go back to all the places I went to, just to talk to all these people to get those publicity points zzzz. Argent it is btw! Seeing Kimahri as elder is really nice, too bad his job is difficult so it’s hard to get the approval of everyone there, but he’s trying so I’m happy. Wakka and Lulu expecting a baby is all I remember about Besaid haha. It was bad of Yuna to leave without telling anyone but I think it was the right choice, it was about time Yuna got the freedom she could never have and explore the world she saved. I remember silly Wakka hoping to find a sphere of his parents so that he could see how he should act as a father, but really, he just needs to act how he thinks he should and learn from there, no one knows how to be a parent from the start.
Lol, Yuna and them were so happy to steal that awesome sphere from both New Yevon and the Youth League and then felt bad so decided to return it to one of them? Okay lol. I’d definitely choose to give it back to the Youth League, so thankfully you have to choose them to get the 100% completion. I mean, New Yevon just continues to hide things all the time, like all these spheres etc, how do they want people to trust them? Well, Beclem (the guy that lets you play gunners gauntlet) is such an ass, no respect for the person that brought about the Eternal Calm, actually, he’s got no basic respect for even her as a person, zzzz. Otherwise, gunners gauntlet is a pretty fun game, I’m not bothered to get the points but it’s cool to shoot fiends with different bullets haha. Shelinda being a reporter now is very fascinating… Considering that she’s left the temples because she didn’t want to be ordered around like a slave anymore, why does she still wear her temple garments? Where’s her makeover lol. Seeing Calli (the girl that was excited for the Calm in FFX on the Mi'ihen highroad) was nice, just because it really shows that time has passed and people had the room to grow up doing what they want. Not sure if chocobo rights are best argued by saying we should get to ride them throughout the highroad since I feel like they should roam free but okay lol. At least the chocobo catching game was a bit fun, seeing it surrender was so cute but saddening lol.
If Yuna really joined the Youth League and got a Yunie Squad, that would be so funny loll. But really, as a high summoner and the person who brought the Calm, I’d agree that she should stay as neutral as possible but side more with the Youth League just because they really do have Spira’s best interests at heart. Not sure what Tobli’s concert is for but if I get the profits, sure thing! Easy way of earning 12,500 gil, yay! The data seller at Guadosalam is cool too! Got 70,000 gil for selling the data to the right person! Could have kept restarting to hopefully get the 100,000 gil but I was too lazy hahaha. As for the Thunder Plains mini games with calibrating the towers though? I hated that, I remember the pain so well lmao. I could only do 6 towers and gave up lolol. Could probably do 7 but if I can’t do all 10 to get the ribbon, why bother? Hahaha, sorry my reaction speed and hand eye coordination just isn’t that great lol. I also want to preserve my sanity. We even got Tobli the musicians at Macalania! Really, Tobli, what are you even doing lmao. Still sad to see them talk about how Macalania Woods is nearing its end since the Fayth are gone… Seriously though, everyone needs help lol, even Clasko deciding to open up a chocobo branch needs YRP to clean out the monster arena and catch chocobos for him lmao. I really wonder what Clasko really did as a soldier if he can’t even clean up some fiends though…🤔 Oh well, whatever, as long as he’s happy lol.
Alike Yuna, seeing Zanarkand as a tourist spot never sat well with me, so if pairing up monkeys can make them multiply and cause a monkey problem that will prevent people from coming, I guess it’s good? Lol, nah, I don’t like the idea of Zanarkand filled with monkeys either lmao, can’t they just label it as a historical site to be preserved? Sigh. Lmao at the way Yuna holds the monkey when you’re pairing them up though, it’s like the Lion King🤣🤣 Seeing that YRP quite blatantly stole the Leblanc syndicate uniforms (and spheres!) at every encounter, you’d think Ormi and Logos would strengthen their security on the premises but nope, YRP easily infiltrates! Also, kinda disappointed in Yuna dipping in the hot spring on Ronso sacred grounds, Kimahri trusted her to understand that so I didn’t think she’d be like the Leblanc goons and do such a thing as well, so yeah… Anyway, Leblanc is so smitten with Nooj, I wonder if he likes her at all? Are they together? That massage game was weird though lolll, I swear FFX-2 has the weirdest mini games to complete. How would I know which part Leblanc wants me to massage?!? Yes, I kept cracking her bones LOL. Anyway, just wanted to say that I’m glad I don’t write walkthroughs because I’ve been steamrolling through these boss battles so I don’t even know what they really do lmao. Paine as a Festivalist, Rikku as a Psychic and Yuna as a Songstress is the team I’ve been levelling and it easily deals with everything besides any instant kill moves lol.
Hmmm so there’s some sort of machina at the bottom of Bevelle called Vegnagun that could destroy all of Spira… Wouldn’t it suck if Yuna brought the Eternal Calm but then they all get killed by this machine? Lol. At least Nooj is aware and hopes to disassemble it before anything happens, guess Gippal might give him a hand? Not sure what Baralai’s objectives are right now though~ I see, so Baralai thinks that Vegnagun is too dangerous and shouldn’t be touched, so he’s stopping everyone from approaching, which is fair enough, what if it activates because you come close or whatever, very risky. Otherwise, underground Bevelle was pretty annoying with all the jumping, operating machines in different ways to get chests, kinda confusing but I guess it’s probably worth it? Lol, always good to get a ribbon! Anyway, fighting Dark Bahamut was kinda saddening, not the way we wanted Yuna to see aeons again, since it wanted to kill them etc. I wonder what happened to Vegnagun and Nooj and Baralai? Where did they all go?

The best dresspheres to use in Final Fantasy X-2
May 1, 2022
Tumblr media
When I first played this game in 5th grade, one of the things I remember obsessing over were the dresspheres. I used to make a list of which character would wear which dressphere, and my method of choosing went something like this: whoever looked the best in that dressphere, they were the one who got it.
For example, Yuna looks the best in the Songstress dressphere, so she would be my Songstress. Paine looks the best in the Warrior dressphere, so she would be my Warrior. It didn’t always work though, because Paine looks the best in the White Mage dressphere, but I had such a hard time with Paine being a White Mage. I always gave that dressphere to Yuna.
Anyways, that was my mindset back in 5th & 6th grade. Thankfully, those days are long gone. This time around, I didn’t focus on looks. I focused on which dresspheres were actually useful and worth my time. Below are the best dresspheres to use in Final Fantasy X-2!
The New-New: Festivalist
This was my first time playing the HD Remaster version of Final Fantasy X-2, so the Festivalist dressphere was completely new to me. I have no idea why it (along with the Psychic dressphere) weren’t in the original release of FFX2, but WOW they are awesome dresspheres!
We get the Festivalist right away and I immediately threw out the Gunner dressphere for Yuna. Her strength was higher with Festivalist and she uses 2 weapons, which gave her a chain attack. I also liked Rikku in the Festivalist outfit, even though she didn’t have a chain attack, her attack strength was much better than Thief. The only times I switched Rikku back to Thief was to steal, otherwise I had her working on Festivalist abilities.
Old Reliable: Black Mage & White Mage
After Yuna mastered the Festivalist abilities, I let her master the Black Mage abilities. I actually regret this, because the Black Mage abilities suck. They are just elemental attacks. When I replay this game, I’m not going to bother with any black magic.
I gave the White Mage dressphere to Rikku because I hate her Black Mage pose. Yes, that is the reason. I liked that Rikku was covered up and still looked super cute in her white robe. She is a great White Mage!
So to recap: Yuna was a Festivalist, then a Black Mage. Rikku was a Festivalist/Thief, then a White Mage.
The Heavy Hitters: Warrior, Gunner, Dark Knight
Things got interesting when I got the Berserker dressphere in Chapter 3, but let me talk about Paine first.
I love Paine in the Warrior dressphere. She stayed in that until she mastered the abilities. Since I still didn’t have the Dark Knight dressphere, I figured she could work on mastering some other abilities so I gave her the Gunner dressphere. It was nice having a long-distance attacker, plus she looks great in the Gunner outfit!
Once I got the Dark Knight dressphere at the end of Chapter 2, I switched Paine to that and that’s what she stayed with until the end of the game. Somewhere along the way I got a Garment Grid that lets the user use any learned Warrior abilities, so let me just say: Dark Knight Paine with Swordplay abilities was absolutely perfect.
The Game-Changers: Berserker & Psychic
Chapter 3 is a great part of the game because it blesses us with some FANTASTIC new dresspheres. This is where I participated in Shinra’s creature creator battle thing and won the Psychic dressphere. I also got the Berserker dressphere in Chapter 3 at Lake Macalania. They were GAME CHANGERS.
I gave Berserker to Yuna because her strength went up so high! And then I gave Rikku the Psychic dressphere because… well, Paine was a Dark Knight, Yuna was a Berserker, and I wanted someone in Psychic, so that left Rikku.
The Berserker dressphere is one of my favorite dresspheres. It gives a good boost in strength and speed, but the best part about it is that the characters can learn Counterattack! This ability came in handy during battles, because I was basically able to double attack or heal + attack, basically all in one round. I loved it so much that I ended up changing Paine OUT of the Dark Knight and putting her in Berserker too. She was so much faster and was able to counterattack along with Yuna. Paine still had the Swordplay abilities, so it was just awesome!
The Psychic dressphere was also great. Once I got the Garment Grid that let the user cast White Magic abilities, I had Rikku dressed as Psychic and casting white magic whenever I needed it. The only thing I wish I had was an accessory that could let her use the Steal ability. Unfortunately, I never had that so I had to switch to Thief whenever I wanted to steal something.
