The game can be beat without any celestials, or even the sphere grid. Not sure how you looked up how to get them but also not immediately found out they are just extras.
>>733640708you didn't play the game
>>733640670>>want to replay ffxWhy? It was awful.
>>733640670her weapon traumatized me
>>733640670qrd for someone who never played ffx?
Tidus and Auron's aren't too bad to get, and they're enough to carry you through the game.
>>733640824Ridiculously grindy or difficult challenges you must do to attain each character's ultimate weapons
>>733640880I see, how long do they usually take?
>>733640824Some of the strongest weapons have extremely annoying requirements to get. Lulu's in particular requires you to play an incredibly tedious minigame.
>>733640917Some of them a couple of hours, some of them a dozen.
>>733640824Want to get Lulu's weapon? Go to an open field and dodge 200 random lightning bolts in a row. Fail once and you have to start again.
You only need one for Tidus, Wakka and Rikku.
Tried replaying FFX for the first time since 2003 this weekend but unfortunately I got half a dozen crashs and constantly had to restart because of the green screen during FMVs.Tried turning off Steam and GPU overlays, lowered graphical specs and windowed resolutions, but nothing worked.It's a bummer. I don't have a PS2 anymore.
>>733640917Wakka's takes a couple hours minimum of grinding blitzball, which you usually end up cheesing, so you can't even enjoy the minigameLulu's requires you to sit there and press a button as soon as your screen flashes with precise timing, 200 fucking times in a rowTidus' requires you to win a heavily, heavily rng-dependant racing minigame with the world's worst controls of all time (I beat this one 3rd try, took a ss, and my game crashed without saving)Kimahri's involves a nearly equally horrific minigame where you must have perfect timing collecting butterflies I don't remember the rest. Rikku's involves a lot of back and forth traveling though and doing these faggoty little cactus minigames.
>>733640670I went through literally this and decided to go for the FFX-2 platinum instead. This was a mistake.>>733640791>>733640919My condolences you didn't know about the exploit spots. Hers is a piece of piss compared to Tidus's.Sad thing is, Celestial Weapons aren't even the best in many cases. Who needs double or triple AP once you've done your grinding? Or who needs 1mp cost when you've got Rikku mixes sorted?
>>733641067They break damage limit
>>733641048Emulate you dunce, the remaster has shitty character models anyways.
>>733640917Not much by modern grinding standards and mid 2000s MMO standards. They are more dull than exactly time consuming.IIRC you need a crest to get the weapons but they're useless until you use another quest and use another crest to power them up.Some you get just by finding chests during the main story. Others need you to do the famous retarded things like dodging lightning 200x times and playing quite a lot of blitzball to get Wakka's reels and celestial weapon.The Chocobo Minigame with the 0s requirement for Tidus'.Completing the sphere grid is absolutely time consuming but the weapons themselves are more of a bother, especially if you're not really into mini games and want to fight bosses.
>>733641067>>733641121So does pretty much anything plus 60 dark matter. Or farm Dark Yojimbo drops.
FF10 is my favorite FF but at the same time I don't want to touch it ever again.Ironic, innit
>>733641193>playing quite a lot of blitzballThat's easy, just tedious. Just sign Brother, he's the GOAT of Blitzball and you can keep scoring from midfield with him.
>>733640670The only sidequests worth doing are Yojimbo, Anima, and Omega Ruins.Ignore the monster arena and the dark aeons, that shit is lame.
>>733640730depends what you want to achieve. If you just want to experience the story, you don't need celestial weapons at all.
>>733641051I think the intention with Wakka's was that players would get it organically just stopping to play some Blitzball every now and then. Of course, whether people actually do that or not is a different question entirely.Tidus' actually has very limited RNG, you can do it pretty consistently once you get the hang of it. The balloon patterns only have a few possibilities and the birds aim for you so you can bait them.
>>733640972Weapon? Wasn't it for a accessory that cuts mp by half or am I thinking about something else
>>733642017You're thinking of something else. Her weapon does have MP cost 1 though iirc
>>733640972>Want to get Lulu's weapon? Go to an open field and dodge 200 random lightning bolts in a row. Fail once and you have to start again.Kind of dishonest to give him lulu's weapon as the only example. It is by far the worst, but also the least necessary. In fact, you don't need it at all, because the celestials are only needed for optional content, and the only members useful for that are those that have strong limit breaks. Lulu's "destroy your thumpsticks for a bit more damage" isn't one of them. All other minigames aren't nearly as bad. >but that chocobo ragit gud>Blitzball sucksno it's fun>butterfly huntingKimahri isn't really needed for optional content, his limt break sucksAll other are easy.
>>733642067Ok I remember now. jecht was stomping me so hard I loaded up a earlier save to go get that and a bunch of stuff for rikku's item mix. I forget if it was lulu or rikku that did the reraise cheese but im pretty sure it was lulu. Have not played the game since the remaster dropped
The lightning shit isn't that bad. There's a crater that you run into with predictable strikes. However having to play blitzball was where I drew the line.
>>733640670You can just put break damage on any weapon yourself, you don't even need the celestials you retard.
>>733642397You can cheese Blitzball easily though, the lightning is way more obnoxious if you ask me. Sure you can guarantee when the strikes happen, but one mistake and you have to do it all over again.
>>733642397I missed out on one of the weapons because shadow bahamut was blocking the way and apparently I could have got it earlier without him being there. Sad times
>>733642467Maybe it was just because I was kind of burned out of the game and Waka's was the last ultimate weapon I needed to get. The chocobo race was also infuriating.
>>733642496Yeah, I did always think that was kind of BS. You could cheese it with Yojimbo, but then what's the point in getting the celestial weapons at all if you're just going to zanmato everything
>>733641142I've emulated it for the first time ever and my game freezes every time in the dark Valefor cutscene.Also>turns out i missed an al bhed primer in Home and can never get it unless I start overThank you Squaresoft, VERY COOL!
>>733640708This. I beat the whole game chappu's sword (I forget the name) and actually made some of the alternate weapons better than the celestials through customization
>>733642626Brotherhood is a good weapon and gets a few extra skills after an upgrade. The waterstrike is of ambiguous value but it beats forging anything before endgame.
>>733640670FFX endgame content is horseshit.
>>733642776Unfortunately, yes.Maybe it was because the current trend of $60 games must have 200h worth of content was in its infancy.
>>733642776>>733642902No Final Fantasy games have just always had bad esoteric hidden content that no one ever does.
>>733642776I liked it. But I was a 12 year old armed with the strategy guide. It was cool as hell to me.

>>733641051At least you can glitch Tidus' minigame to get a perfect time if you know how.
>>733643167Just a couple of hidden bosses and maybe getting something like Excalibur. 7, 8 and 9 had a lot of what you called esoteric hidden content but they take very little time.At worst you'd try a superboss a dozen times before figuring it out.10 is the first one overloaded with stuff.
>>733640670play it with items and sphere grids randomized
I only ever did all ultimate weapons once when I first played it, ever since then I would just kill some of the dark aeons with Zanmato for the limit break weapon/armors or make some of your own instead.
>>733640670Why would you go for his celestial weapon when Brotherhood is amazing already?
>>733641051The only one that is insultingly bad is the 200 thunder strikes. I'd rather win the chocobo race 20 times over that fucking cancer. The first 100 strikes you're constantly fighting against your boredom while the remaining 100 strikes are stupidly fucking stressful.
>>733644721>sign in to confirm you're not a botwhat the fuckwhen'd they start doing that?
I'm playing FFX for the first time and did all the chocobo minigames on my first try, even beat the girl in a race with like 20 seconds spare? Are you people gaslighting me or are you THAT BAD at video games? This shit was easy.
>>733644947>absorbs water in youre path
>>733645028unless your browser has enough good goy points you can barely get youtube to work at all these days. for me it freezes at 0:49 at every video (embeds work fine though)
>want to play blitzball>remember I have to play FFX
>>733644747Excalibur II in 9 is bullshit though.
>>733645050You got a 0.0 second time, right?
>>733645154No?
>>733640670is the game worth playing if I get anxious and annoyed if I dont do everything in a game?I heard the post game is 900 hours of grinding
>>733645229Winning the race isn't the hard part you tard, you're supposed to get a final time of 0.0 secs at the end
>>733645229kek
>>733645278you sound like a precious little tulip and should fuck off
>>733645312>>733645383What the fuck?
>>733645445god forbid people want to discuss videogames on a videogame board you fucking nigger
>>733640730Imagine being bad at turn-based RPGs
>>733640670I played FFX for the first time recently and got all Celestial weapons. I'd rank the annoyingness get in order of least to most as: Auron, Yuna, Khimari, Wakka, Rikku, Tidus, Lulu. Tidus I got surprisingly fast but if I didn't I could see it taking a while. Wakka's may be longer and more tedious to get than Rikku, but I liked Blitzball much more than cactuar hunting.
>>733640670>remember that you need the celestial weaponsThey're entirely optional
>>733640670>you need the celestial weaponsyou need them if you want to do all the mega autist extra endgame content but the game itself is more than easy enough to beat without getting them.
I liked capturing enemies and discovering minigames and hidden stuff.Fucking sue me!
>>733645129based and watersoccerpilled
>>733645879What are you, unautistic?
>>733645278You can 100% it in around 150 hours. Median time in retroachievements which includes a lot of completely optional stuff has an average time of 90 hours. Honestly, the only thing that can fuck you up hard is if you don't 100% all temples during your first visit because otherwise, you'll get your path blocked by an insanely hard end game super boss when trying to revisit those temples.
I just discovered that aenos "level up" after every 30th battle and that you don't even need Yuna in the party to do it. The game literally never tells you this.
Dodging 50 lightning strikes nets you 3 strength spheres. How game breaking are they if you get them the moment you reach thunder plains? The one that you get by winning the blitzball match was already a huge fucking power boost
>>733640670You doing need celestial stuff at all unless you're doing post game content
>>733646553I did it the last time I played. Sharing those with Tidus and Auron made them straight up murder everything after that.
>>733646749Guess I'll replay the game then, seems like a fun excuse to try out the expert grid
>>733640670>need
>>733642626>actually made some of the alternate weapons better than the celestials through customizationthis isnt possible
>>733647109I have not played in years but I am pretty sure it is, if not close.
>This time I'll do Penance>Do 1 hour of overdrive>AP grinding in the post game and quit
>>733647190the celestial weapons have a hidden 5th slot for their damage boosting abilityit's extremely strong so it's just literally not possible to make a custom into something strongeryou can make a custom have different utility, but stronger? no
>>733640670The only really bad one is Lulu's.You'll think it's Tidus but trust me. If you've done it once muscle memory will kick in and you will have it complete in under 5 attempts. Wakka's is time consuming, not difficult. Auron's is only tricky if you're playing the international version and you wait to the end of the game when a bunch of his unlocks start being blocked by unsuitable Dark Aeon fights.
>>733640670You don't need the weapons to beat the story nor do you need them for any of the superbossesthat said, getting them is easy
>>733647368>Break Damage Limit>Piercing>Strength +20%>Empty slot Is this not literally stronger than any given Celestial Weapon?Or my preference:>Break Damage Limit>Piercing>One MP Cost>Triple Overdrive
>>733647827Probably not as the Celestial weapons inherently ignore defense.
>>733640670>you need the celestial weaponsget a load of this al bhed faggot sucking the life outta the game
>people always complain about tidus's weapon with the chocobo mini game>either I got insanely lucky or people suck because I got it within 20 mins of tryingFUCK dodging the thunder though. Whoever designed that shit needs to be dragged out of their office and shot in their fucking face.
>>733640670what a fagfrom my latest playthrough (ps2 international edition, not the faggot remaster for homosexuals)
>>733652221
>>733652287don't have any pics from clapping penance but wellyou either do it or you're gay
>>733643167Barring 9's Excalibur 2 then 7, 8, 9 just had superbosses, hidden islands, and chocobo fuckery. Granted 9 had a bunch of retarded chocobo treasure hunting but none are all too esoteric.
>>733652357nevermind i actually do, i forgot about this one
>>733652287oh no so hard
>>733640670just play on emu with cheats. I do it sometimes when I don't want to grind or waste time on shitty mini games.
>>733647319The only two characters who might want to use a custom weapon over their Celestial is Rikku and Yuna due to them not getting a lot out of them. Even then the difference is negligible and definitely not worth the resources imo.
