I f I remember corretly (it's prety long time, when I played X), when I attacked Sin, I had finished main path for each character. And boss and next dungeon weren't much problem.

But I have some question: Do you play on Expert, or Normal Board? And, do you want just finish the game, or will you go even for super-bosses?

Take the game disc out, throw it away.

Terribly overrated game.

I do feel it's over-rated, especially considering how much hate FFXIII gets and how similar the two games are.

It's still a great game though, I'm especting lots from the story.

They aren't similar in the least. X is great, XIII is the single worst game I had the displeasure and loathing of playing/finishing. It's as if they deliberately shit all over it, but I digress. I do every time somebody utters that dreadful number.

Anyway, you are quite epically underleveled... so it's no suprise that you were struggling. Level up some (lots)... I'd give you stats, but the first time I finished it was more than 7 years ago... so... I won't.  There's a nice metric - go to Sin and level up on mobs there and use your aeons to your advantage. Have you been to Baaj temple yet and grabbed Anima? If you used the Destruction sphere in ALL cloisters so far and grabbed all that treasure, get some petrify granades from the gorgon-like monsters on the road to Djose temple and infuse them into armor for stoneproofs - it'll help you out with the familiar face you'll see SHOULD you go to Baaj for anima.

Either way, Aeons are a great help for leveling up. Use them until you can easily deal with the stuff running around sin.

Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before.

As for Sin, I went to try and fight him. I destroyed his arms but when I went to go inside, I ran out of MP for my mages and I had to attack the other opening at a long distance, the only person who could was Wakka, so I died.

I have thought about getting Anima...Is it hard? I used my last petrify grenade a minute ago (man they are good) but I can easily go and get more.

I think I selected "Expert", what's the difference?

And I just want to finish the game really and experience a few cool easter eggs.

After looking at the Sphere Grid, I noticed Tidus will need to get roughly another 20 sphere levels before he comes across another "Strength" sphere, they seem to be so rare.

Hard? Nah.

It's underwater, so bring everyone with an overdrive ready. Rikku's mix comes in especially useful. The only things you should watch out for are the petrify attacks, but they are null with the granades (I think it's x20 per stoneproof, but I could be wrong). Try to remember if you cleared the secret treasure in all temples just so you don't do it for nothing.

Another update.

Tidus has 21 strength...

Wakka / Auron have around 40 strength.

Lulu / Yuna have around 50 magic.

... I've just killed Yunalesca like a few hours ago, and my strength of my characters was:

Tidus: 54 STR

Wakka: 53 STR

Auron: 62 STR

Kimahri: 42 STR

Rikku: 38 STR

And then my casters magic:

Yuna: 68

Lulu: 72

 

Seriously, I don't get how your stats can be so low, especially if you're this far in the game and have been levelling up... o.O

It's when I hit the far plains that I realised I was underlevelled.

I did a bit of levelling up and these are my exact stats.

Tidus: HP - 3,102 / Strength - 21

Yuna: HP - 2,392 / Magic - 45

Auron: HP - 3,633 / Strength - 34

Lulu: HP - 2,180 / Magic - 47

Rikku: HP - 2,596 / Strength - 21 / Magic - 28

Wakka: HP - 3,539 / Strength - 36 / Magic - 33

Kimahri: HP - 2,798 / Strength - 22 / Magic - 24


You're going to need to pack more of a punch to take on the final bosses and reach the endgame area. Some of the enemies in Omega Dungeon will also be quite tough, there are some mean spellcasters down there and some strong melee monsters.

At the endgame area I had around 180-200 average (except Luck) in my character stats and my toughest character (Wakka) had around 30.000 hit points. You don't need to be THAT strong though... Still, there were monsters who whooped my ass without a problem.

You should at the very least try to get some of the ultimate weapons for some of the characters and I'd at least consider doubling the hit points if not more before going to endgame.

I was about to kill myself after I read that comment.

Anyway, I know you don't think it's hard, but have you seen my stats? :P

I also went to check out Dark Bahamut, he attacked 3 times before my party had a chance to do anything. He hit 99,999 everytime!

I don't know if I cleared the secret treasure in all the temples though, I doubt it :/

Normal Shpere Grid has more defined roles and in normal game, you have little chances to go wrong way. In Expert Grid , you are more free, but if you don't know where to go, you could end up in problems. Well, this problem can by "solved" by some Sphere Levels, but it take time. Oh, and Normal Grid has more nodes (860 in Normal, 792 in Expert), but if you don't want to maximize stats, it doesn't matter one bit.

 

Tidus overall isn't character with much strenght, it's Auron or Wakka role. He is more for speed and cast Haste/Hastega.

 

Xen: 30k HP and 200 in stats isn't exactly much for Penance and harder Dark Aeons.

I thought you meant you died in the main story, so did he probably.

And I think I have gotten a bit lost, a strength node is nowhere in sight for Tidus, luckily I paid attention to this and put him on the right path.

Not to mention Lulu is only a few spheres away from Holy and Yuna a few spheres from Ultima! Things are looking up.

Being killed by story bosses with 30k HP and 200 stats is pretty big achievement, they aren't that hard. Of course, there are some cheap shot like Megadeath from Yunalesca, but overall, it shouldn't be even possible. IMO it was some super-boss that kill him.

 

Ultima and Holy are pretty strong spells, if you can have them, go for it. Good move is "Attack Reels" for Wakka. I hope you play Blitzball. If you make it right, it do about 12 hits. Too bad, that's just Overdrive, so it isn't available anytime.
