I think the Sin fight in FFX is absolutely ridiculous. And I don’t mean the fins or the core, I mean the one just before you enter him, the one where he has an overdrive. It is absolutely ridiculous that I am expected to do 150k damage in a few turns, I am stuck and there is no way I can win this fight, so I may have to replay the whole game to level up properly. I am really upset, this fight seems a bit hamhanded, not really well designed at all. Bad bad square.
Advice if you are new to FFX: Don’t make my mistake, be very very carefull with the sphere grid, plan ahead and don’t worry about waiting behind a key sphere till it is unlocked. My mistake seems to be that I made Kimahri nearly useless and that I lead Tidus a mile away from Hastega.
:eek: Damn, now you got me worried about my sphere grid planning…first time I’ve played it, and I’m really not too confident on it…still, I’m only in Gagazet at the moment, so I won’t worry too much just yet.
Hmm…would you suggest using Kimahri more then? I haven’t been doing that much.
Use EVERYONE ALL THE TIME. The problem with Kimahri is that he can be anything or nothing. My problem is that I lead him around in circles leaving him in the end as nothing in particular. I would really suggest that you take Kimahri on Auron’s path. Also try to keep everyone focused towards a “target” ability, e.g. take Lulu towards Demi and then Flare, keep Tidus headed towards Hastega, etc… And make sure you always use Yuna.
I never really found any problem with that fight, I just used the aeons to blast a major sectio of his health away, then as soon as I was close enough started popunding on him with who eever has a good move.
And LS, take Zolom’s advice it is actually pretty good, even if he is not doing that well himself!!
I didn’t have the BDL. And, without extra training, the fight against Sin wasn’t too bad. You’ll just need to get your best fighters doing as much damage as possible. (But I had Holy at that time. >_<)
I didn’t have Anima or any other special aeon and I beat that version of Sin relatively easily. I just used my most powerful characters’ overdrives followed by my aeons. I’m just repeating what HS said, though. I never planned anything with the sphere grid and I had no problems finishing the game.
Yeah, overdrives + aeons = easy win. If all else fails, use Wakka and Lulu to whittle him down while you prepare the rest of your party (using Hastega, Protect/Shell, etc.). I also didn’t have any real problems with that fight (and I didn’t level up at ALL at that point, although I did do most of the side quests - the only Ultimate Weapon I had was Yuna’s though).
There’s obviously something wrong with me then if you all have had an easy time with this fight.
Just checking:
-The highest HP in my party is a bit above 4k, Auron. Kimahri and Rikku are still in the 2k.
-Aeons do damage around 15k when in overdrive.
-Auron does a max of 7k when in overdrive, others can’t hope to do that much.
With the above I can’t see a way of taking 150K off Sin before he overdrives. It IS game over when he overdrives, it’s not just a lot of damage, it IS game over automatically.
Never mind, I will replay it sometime in the future, bummer.
pats Zolom on the shoulder There there…I know how irritating that is. I had real trouble with the ff8 junctioning system and had to replay a lot of it…damn. shakes fist But my stats are about the same as yours, so I think I’d better train some.
