Final Fantasy X-2 for PS2 Hints and Tips

This page contains ALL the hints and tips we know of for Final Fantasy X-2 for PS2. Please DO NOT contact us asking for additional Final Fantasy X-2 hints. As soon as we discover any new hint, we publish it here immediately. If you have a Final Fantasy X-2 for PlayStation 2 hint that is not listed here, please submit it.

Good Character Strategy
Use Yuna and Paine as Warriors and Rikku as a Thief. Also get Yuna to use a hidden dress called Healer, which works better than White Mage. As you get further in the game, there will be more new dresses. Do not use any of them. Although some of them may seem strong, they are all all pretty much useless. Get Paine something with Pierce and keep hacking at your enemies while Yuna heals when needed. Have Rikku steal from whoever you see. You will be surprised at what you can get from just stealing from a Ghost or some sort of a strong monster.

O'aka's Debt
When you first go to the Travel Agency in Macalania, you'll see O'aka running off the screen. Follow him, and catch him, then hide him out on the airship. Buy items from him to pay off his debt(100,000 gil). Then go to Macalania, and you will have a mission to defeat six waves of fiends(be at least level 30; have all three in Gunner, and fire away with Trigger Happy). Complete the mission and you will receive the Berserker Dressphere.

Movie/Music Spheres
Don't waste your gil at the Luca Theater. If you really have to see the Movies or hear the Music, save your game first. Then go to the Theater and buy all the spheres you want. When you're ready to continue playing, just reload your game.

Rescue Tourists Sidequest
In Chapter 3, go to the gorge in the Calm Lands, and do the Rescue Tourists Sidequest. One of the tourists (the guy running past you towards the entrance) will have the Besaid Key. This key allows you to open the chest in Besaid Temple and get a Search Sphere. Also, when you see the two children run to the right, go to the left. Examine the small area and you will find a tourist hiding unseen. You need to rescue him to be able to warp to the first Hidden Chamber. And when you're fighting Yojimbo, have a Mega-Potion ready to use. His Zanmato attack will drop your entire party's HP and MP to 1. Have Yuna or Rikku in Gunner. Trigger Happy LV3 will buy you some time for the others to take action.

Easy Money
After giving O'aka 100,000 Gil to pay off his debt, he will sell you items for extremely cheap prices. He sells Hi-Potions for 50 Gil, but you can still sell them for normal price. If you buy 99 Hi-Potions at the 50 Gil price, and then sell them all, you can make over 3 times the money back. You can do this over and over again until you have a lot of money.

Easy Money In Sphere Break
An easy way to get money is to get the Magic Urn coin, which has the attribute 2x Gil which allows the value of the coin to go up quicker, and than go to an easy fight for Sphere Break. After that always use the Magic Urn for the entry coin first than seek out any Coin+ or Gil+, make sure not to pick up any Gil-, and use them. Then after raising the value of the Magic Urn Coin, sell away.

Different Numbers
When your finding the four numbers to get in the cave on Besaid Island, be warned. The numbers are different each time you start a new game. For example, the numbers in my first game, the numbers were 1784. In the second game they were 1117. I'm not saying that they're going to be the same numbers as mine, but they will change, so the same combonation won't work. Happy hunting again!

Easy Dark Element Fight
This is the Boss on the 40th floor of the Cloister Of Trials. Enter the fight with all three of your characters as Gunners that have mastered the Table Turner ability. Before the battle, equip all of your characters with an accessory that protects against Berserk. As soon as the battle starts, have all three use Table Turner. This should do massive amounts of damage to the Boss, since his defense is 255 with some luck you can kill him before he gets a chance to cast Ultima.

Easy AP And Experience In Chapter 1
This trick requires a controller with an auto- fire feature. At the start of the game after the fight with "Yuna" and during the chase, you will fight two goons. In the next area, you will fight two goons and two fem goons. In that room run over to the dock and you will see a Mog bent over and shivering. When you try to talk to it, it will heal you fully. Set yourself directly against her, and use the auto-fire feature. A fem goon will run around the corner and attack you. Remain there for a few hours to get all of ability for the thief and warrior.

To Beat Yojimbo
Beating Yojimbo is really easy, if you come in with a level around 35 and accesories that defend against poison, like star pendants or glass buckles. Make sure you have a gunner that knows Trigger Happy Lv.3, a Dark Knight, and an Alchemist. The quickest way to deplete Yuna's former aeon's HP is to repeat the same actions over and over. Make sure your Alchemist has a heavy supply of potions, pheonix downs, and hi-potions. Use trigger happy on the aeon to buy your dark knight time to use Darkness on it. If you came in around level 35, this should cause about 1000 points of damage toYojimbo. Watch out for his little dog too. If yojimbo raises a finger to his face, this means he's going to use Zanmato. This wipes your hp and mp to one point! Before he uses this, make sure you've given your alchemist the command to mix a potion and a high potion to make a mega potion. If you don't his dog will most likely attack a character and kill her. If so, usea pheonix down on her quick. Repeat this over and over and you will beat Yojimbo.

Battle With Shuiyn
Yes, eventually you have to battle Shuiyn at the end of the game. He is after the battle with Vegnagun's core for the second time. For FFX fans, he uses all of Tidus's overdrives, just with different names. If you managed to beat Vegnagun, this guy would be no problem. Yuna should be a White Mage, Rikku whould be a Gunner, and Paine should be a Gunner or Warrior. After the battle there will be a LONG movie, leading up to the credits, which are unavoidable but have the song "1000 Words" so just relax and after the credits your times played and character's levels will be shown. You will also be give the chance for a New Game Plus! This is bascially restarting the game, but the only differences are that your characters will be lv.1 and you will lose ALL your spheres (so much for collecting the crimson spheres) and a couple other things.

Special Scene With YRP In A Hot Spring
While on the mission to find the three syndicate uniforms, one will be at Fayth Scar in Mt. Gagazet. You have to chase after a fem-goon on your way up a mountain. However, when you are almost at the top of the mountain, the fem-goon will jump to the right. Keep climbing up until you see a scene where YRP (Yuna, Rikku, Paine) are looking down at the fem-goons from a high ledge above. Also, you can nab the uniforms without battling Ormi and the fem-goons until later!

Secret Cave (Paine's Past)
To get here, first find all 10 crimson spheres. Then visit the gorge in Mushroom Rock Road. Go into the cave and touch the symbol on the wall. If you have all ten, it will open up. Go through to see a long thing that shows Rikku and Yuna being possesed by Shuyin, however, to skip it all press start when Rikku says something's coming and press square. After battling Rikku and Paine, you have to battle Baralai (like from the Bevelle underground), Gippal, and Nooj. These battles are really hard, I suggest being at about lv.50.

The Via Infinito
In Chapter 5 (after siding with New Yevon) visit Bevelle headquarters and go to the room at the right. The "Kinderguardians" have found the Via Infinito! Enter the portal to talk to a guy who introduces you to the place. You also get a Crimson Sphere. Every 20 floors you have to fight a boss. Another Crimson Sphere is found after you beat the 20th floor boss. Those guys with lanterns are Tonberrys, and you will sometimes have to beat them to beat the cloister or to warp back to the surface. If you do find a portal and warp back to the surface, your farthest cloister reached will be saved. Lastly, if you have a Charm Bangle, it's effects will be inactive in this place.

Jumbo Caqtuar
When you saw the little caqtuars form this big guy, you probably thought "Oh no! Not another boss!" But this guy is actually just a phony! The only action he'll ever make is to cast Hastega in the beginning*. So first just kill the two regular ones. Then, keep using DEFENSIVE skills to level up your dresspheres. When you think you're ready, defeat it. *If oversouled, it will still attack.

Easily Defeat Anima
Anima is the last aeon you have to defeat in the road to the farplane. She has the highest HP. (36, 000 HP) First off, have Yuna a gunner. Have Rikku and Paine warriors. Make Yuna use Trigger Happy. Just have Rikku keep slashing Anima. Have Paine use Excabuliar (I think how it's spelled.) That's Anima's weakness. When Anima does her special attack, pain, Use rememdy, becuase "pain" negates all spell effects on one member of the party. When Anima does Oblivion, Use a mega- potion for each time she does it. Keep using Trigger Happy, Excabuliar and attacks to finish off Anima easily.

Obtaining Lady Luck Dressphere
Haven't beat the sphere break tournament yet? Before battling Shinrah, study coin count echoes and multiplying echoes by using the tutorials. Once you learn these, apply that knowledge to defeat him. You can not beat him without knowing these, it took me ten tries before I learned about the echoes, and once I did, it only took one more try to beat him. Echoes are a great way to meet your high quota's. Try using this strategy to defeat those kids in the locker room too. Once you defeat him, you will have won the tournament and the lady luck dresshpere.
