The Great Mi�ihen Mystery - Guide for Final Fantasy X-2

The Great Mi’ihen Mystery"•
Upon checking out the CommSphere at the Mi’ihen Highroad, Rin will request that you 
check out the network of eight CommSpheres spread out along the Highroad to assist 
him in his investigation. Use the Square button to call Rin if you see anything out 
of the ordinary. There are six different outcomes that you can get. The information 
you are about to receive will yield positive results, but if you want to see one of 
the other outcomes I recommend examining the CommSpheres in different orders.

                         BLAME RIKKU! 
=============================================================================
=============================================================================

Here are the events you must see (if you followed my above prerequisites) to
get Rikku as the suspect:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAMERA NR | EVENT DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 3     | wait for a machina to come running and press Circle
CAM 4     | a group of people is stationed here, press Circle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION LEVEL UP!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION LEVEL UP!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 1     | turn camera left until you see Rin talking to a man, press Circle
CAM 2     | turn camera up and wait for somebody to start hammering the roof,
          | then press Circle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION FINISHED!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REWARDS: Ragnarok accessory, you get to ride chocobos, Episode Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually, a player comes upon unconquerable problem regarding CAM 7 scene in
the above scenario. Problem arises if the player was unable to destroy the
machina on this particular ledge by jumping DOWN from the Newroad - rather,
machina was destroyed by jumping to it from Oldroad, or it was destroyed by
the other group. If any of this is true, when Rin is called to investigate,
he'll appear and say that there are no clues to be found.

Question arises: Am I screwed for getting my Rikku... I mean, Ragnarok?

Nope, not by a longshot (kills Link). Instead follow this sequence:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAMERA NR | EVENT DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 3     | wait for a machina to come running and press Circle
CAM 4     | a group of people is stationed here, press Circle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION LEVEL UP!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 1     | wait until you see Chocobo Eater trying to eat a bird, press
          | Circle
CAM 4     | wait until you see Chocobo Eater chasing after the hover, press
          | Circle
CAM 5     | wait for three machines to get near the hover, press Circle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION LEVEL UP!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 1     | turn camera left until you see Rin talking to a man, press Circle
CAM 2     | turn camera up and wait for somebody to start hammering the roof,
          | then press Circle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION FINISHED!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REWARDS: Ragnarok accessory, you get to ride chocobos, Episode Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What did you just do? As you will see, we've stacked evidence VS Rikku in
investigation levels 1 and 3, and at same time we saw some events regarding
Eater in investigation level 2. After all events are tallied together, you'll
end up with more evidence being stacked VS Rikku - she will become the
responsible individual later in CH5. Thus, you get your Ragnarok... I mean
Rikku... NO, I mean Ragnarok, chocobo riding and Episode Complete!

=============================================================================
=============================================================================
                          BLAME RIN! 
=============================================================================
=============================================================================

Okie-dokie. I can finally say with 100% assurance that everything you'll read
here guarantees that you blame Rin in the end. Man, if only I knew that
getting Rin would be so easy...

CH1 - There's an Al Bhed woman found on Mi'ihen road screen called 'Highroad
      - Central'. She can be seen together with three small machina. Talk to
      her!!! First nail in the coffin.

CH2 - *After* the chocobo mission on Mi'ihen road beam down and enter the
      agency. For a brief moment you'll see Rin exit the agency and disappear
      without a trace. Second nail in the coffin.

CH3 - Make sure you attempt 'Machina Mayhem' mission. It is imperative that
      you dismantle seven or more of rogue machinas. When done, you win!
      Carefully look at the crowd of people you'll see in the end. DO NOT
      PRESS X UNTIL YOU SEE RIN! He'll be at the rightmost end of the screen!
      If you're unsure, wait until he's in camera angle for second time.
      Third nail in the coffin.

CH3 - After 'Machina Mayhem' mission is finished, MAKE SURE YOU VISIT
      'HIGHROAD - NEWROAD, NORTH'! You will see Shinra who will tell you
      about dropped CommSphere. This is the final nail in Rin's coffin.

The way I'll do the CommSphere sequence is by combining Chocobo Eater's proof
with Rin's (in case you don't know, Chocobo Eater can be always blamed,
regardless of your actions in chapters, which is why Eater is the perfect
guinea pig). I will NOT meddle with anyone else, and I suggest you do the
same or you'll screw your chances up. 

Now here are the events you must see (if you followed my above prerequisites)
to get Rin as the suspect (which, as already said, is so easy I could cry):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAMERA NR | EVENT DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 7     | you will see Rin and Al Bhed woman, press Circle, Rin will
          | comment on not knowing of the CommSphere being installed here
CAM 2     | Chocobo Eater will come running after a while, it will examine
          | the console, press Circle, Rin will comment on the appearance of
          | Eater
CAM 4     | a group of people will be stationed here, press Circle, Rin will
          | comment about something having fallen into the ravine
CAM 8     | Eater and Prophet will start 'talking' after a while, press
          | Circle, Rin will comment about how surprised he is to see Prophet
          | trying to enlighten Eater
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION LEVEL UP!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 1     | Eater will chase after a bird, press Circle, Rin will comment
          | about how unusual it is to see Eater trying to eat a bird
CAM 4     | wait until you see Chocobo Eater chasing after the hover, press
          | Circle, Rin will come and comment of surprising behavior of Eater
CAM 5     | when three machinas appear, press Circle, Rin will comment on
          | finding an injured person near the wreckage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION LEVEL UP!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 5     | press Circle, Rin will examine the hover and comment on some
          | trauma he found on the hover
CAM 1     | *immediately* switch back to CAM 5!
CAM 5     | wait a little bit, do nothing and after a while camera will
          | break, you will hear Yuna comment
CAM 4     | you will see Rin down near the hover, you will hear Yuna comment
          | on what the hell is he doing, press Circle, Rin will come running
          | and apologizing that there's some business he needs to attend to
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              MUCHO IMPORTANTO!!
Of the eight available places you have to pick one where there are NO CLUES
TO BE FOUND. If you're following this sequence you're reading, the two Comms
that had nothing of interest were CAM 4 and CAM 7. Which one you choose, your
choice, but for the hell of it I went with CAM 7. If you go with CAM 4,
simply replace the relevant numbers. Rin is now not far away from getting
caught.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM 7     | WAIT AT LEAST 10 SECONDS! Press Circle, Rin will come and say
          | that everything is fine (or sth similar to this extent)
CAM 1     | *immediately* switch back to CAM 7!
CAM 7     | WAIT AT LEAST 10 SECONDS! Press Circle, Rin will come and say
          | that everything is fine (or sth similar to this extent)

          | that everything is fine (or sth similar to this extent)
CAM 1     | *immediately* switch back to CAM 7!
CAM 7     | WAIT AT LEAST 10 SECONDS! Press Circle, Rin will come and say
          | that everything is fine (or sth similar to this extent)
CAM 1     | *immediately* switch back to CAM 7!
CAM 7     | WAIT AT LEAST 10 SECONDS! Press Circle, but Rin won't show up
          | anymore. Yuna and Shinra will wonder what the hell happened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INVESTIGATION FINISHED!*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REWARDS: Gippal's Sphere key item, FFVII-is-da-connection!, you can ride
chocobos for free, Episode Concluded!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* - IMPORTANT!!! As soon as you hear Yuna and Shinra wonder where Rin is,
DISENGAGE THE COMMSPHERES IMMEDIATELY BY PRESSING SQUARE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
VIEW ANYTHING ELSE, OR YOU'LL SCREW YOUR CHANCES!

Also, if you want to nab Rin, there is no margin for error. Miss even one of
the prerequisites, and you cannot nail Rin.
