Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster - Commentary Walkthrough - Part 10 - YSLS-ZERO

Welcome to part 10 of this commentary playthrough of Final Fantasy X-2, the HD Remastered edition. The Kilika Mission continues, and the ladies make their way through the forest and towards the temple. It appears however that the priest has a trick up his sleeve to protect this "awesome sphere", and unleashes a descendant of the Defender Z from FFX. He proves to be a tough opponent for my underleveled Yuna/Rikku/Paine...

This is the most underrated FF i've ever seen, good difficulty, innovating class system, the animations of the moves actually DO matter in the battle, and the turn system makes you feel that the battle IS really happening, instead of your party facing the enemies, and they waiting for you to act, (not that other FF aren't as good, for instance, i preffer FFX, but c'mon, the FF players community could give a little more credit for this masterpiece), im gonna say, the plot and characters is what made people dislike it, imo.

Yuna: We are Spherehunters!
Donna: So?
Yuna: That means we are now Shadow-Thieves, minus the Shadow Part, because everybody knows us and we are very easy recognizable, but we will steal that Sphere anyway and just be glad that Spira has basically no Police-Force what so ever, see the priest who just tried to violently murder everyone here!
Donna: ..I remember you were such a sweet child..
Yuna: Blame Tidus, he just vanished into thin air
Donna: well..
Yuna: Literary!
Paine: ..I think she got the point
Rikku: I think ely has too much fun writing this.
ely: I think so too!

<- I am not sorry!

Omg I thought Paine whacked Rikku over the head- I thought 'friendly fire' was a thing 😅

For the boss battle I used rikku healing the whole time with Paine power breaking (didn’t have armor break) and then yuna just gunning him down with protect casted on them and I only used 1 phenix down

It is awesome to see chocobos in battle again after FFVII.

This game really isn't afraid of people missing stuff. Take those chocobo's for instance. If you don't do certain things they will remain as nothing more than window dressing for the whole game. Then again one of the most broken things balance wise in the game is also behind that, so perhaps it is not entirely bad thing that it is missable (Alchemist + Font of Power/Gold Hairpin = useless White Mage).

Though I still think forcing the player to do Zandarkand and Kilika back to back is bad design on their part. It is funny how this mission for the supposedly awesome sphere while important later on is one of those I barely remembered before playing it again. Unlike some of the side stuff in chapter 1.

I farmed to much in the creature creator. i was at level 30 when i reached here XD

only failing because you didn't do what you're supposed to do. grind, level up, gain abilities. fleeing constantly is sabotaging yourself. fact.

This game has some seriously annoying random encounters and I think they get much more difficult after chapter 2 or 3, also I would continue the same non-hotspot locations throughout the chapters as you can complete the episodes and stand to gain more from it.

[TomosapienGaming]

I know I’m late but I just noticed... the robot (forgot its name) died and then pyreflies were emitted... does that mean it was alive? In FFX there were no pyreflies when killing such enemies...

[chrisgasser]

I know this is ffx2 but I’m trying to Finnish the first one and I am stuck on where you can get the lock keys from as I never can find enought level 4 keys can you help me with this plz chris

Having those Stalwarts in chapter 1 is so unfair. I've gotten thoroughly wrecked by it lots of times early game lol. This game is also pretty brutal with the % based attacks like blast punch. There are quite a few annoying enemies in this game that always damage you based on how much hp you have. There is a stronger version of Stalwart that you get in random encounters starting in chapter 3 for example that always reduces your hp to 1 with its regular attack. It's pretty annoying.

Something i did against YSLS-Zero was i had all the characters go around the terror of the sea garment grid and made them all black mages and killed it in 3 watergas, i had to use so many phoenix downs.
