Episode Confusion!

azurite>_< FFX-2 Chapter 5 is a PAIN. IN. THE. ASS. Or maybe it's a "Paine" in the ass, I'm not sure yet.
Good things:
* Got Episode Complete!s in a few areas, like Besaid, Kilika, Luca, and so on. I'm currently on the Thunder Plains and working on the Cactuar Nation sidequest. Found 6 Cactuars so far; I know where the others are, but finding them will take a while, what with those fiends standing right at the edge of the cactus ranch.
* Paine is the fastest level-upper, though I don't really know why. She's already mastered the Warrior and Dark Knight dresspheres, and I have her working on Samurai and Trainer. Yuna is the Gun Mage, White Mage, Gunner, and Songstress, but she's stuck at 90% for the Gun Mage because of that dratted Blue Bullet. I missed my chance to learn a few of the fiends you learn the tricks from; others I'd have to venture into areas and start MORE Episodes in order to fight them. Finally, Rikku is my Thief, Berserker, Black Mage, and Alchemist. I don't have any other Dresspheres. ;_; I hear Rikku in her Machina Maw is great vs. Vegnagun, so I'm trying to train her with that. Yuna was fantastic with her Floral Fallal back in Kilika, but I haven't done much with Paine's Special Sphere since I got it from Trommell in Chapter 1.
BAD THINGS:
* Like I said, I'm in the Thunder Plains, in the secret cave messing with the puzzles and the walls and the rah rah rah. But the fiend encounters are annoying me... and I don't have a Charm Bangle. And the wonderful way my StratGuide is organized, you have to search page by page to see if how the item is obtained. >_< So does anyone know where you get the Charm Bangle (Exorcist Bracer) in FFX-2? I hope it's obtainable even in Chapter 5 (i.e. it's not an event-item).
* Also, I don't have the Crimson Spheres 5, 6, and 8. I know I was supposed to get 5 from Leblanc, but she's not in Guadosalam. And if there's no way to get it in Chapter 5, that means the Den of Woe will remain sealed, and I won't get to fight Rikku, Paine, Baralai, Gippal, and Nooj. Which means a lot of cool items (and a percentage amount) won't be obtainable... >_< !!! AUGH!!! So how do I get Crimson Spheres 6 and 8?
*sigh* This is a HUUUUGE pain in the neck. I still have to dispatch chocobos to Bikanel to find the Desert Key, and to somewhere on the Mi'ihen Highroad to find that secret dungeon.
I keep getting tempted to write in my strategy guide, but I WON'T. >_< BAD MER! But I will figure out where to get that dratted bangle and see how much more I can complete tonight. I'm at 83%. ;_; That seems so little, considering I could just hop right into the Farplane now.
I should be working on WDKY10. Or the present, or BEA's new layout, or... I have a lot to do, but darn, this game is addicting. And I need sleep, too. And food. But there's nothing to eat here. :P I hate this. I need cereal.

Date: 2004-05-09 10:58 am (UTC)Fly to Bevelle, go inside and right when you enter, head right. You'll see a portal thingy with kids surrounding it. Then you go inside and get a sphere immediately. Then go down 20 floors and get the other.
BTW, this place has hard bosses every 20th floor. Be prepared.
Hope I was of help. :D
Guides can never agree

Date: 2004-05-10 06:05 am (UTC)watch out for the final fiend in bikenel desert! also, you cant finish songstress and all special spheres without some special item.
also, watch out for alchemist, that one takes forever!!! same with berserker
when you finish trainer, the last move you learn is really funny
the easiest one to finish is dark knight cause all of it is pretty much 30-40 (with the exception of black sky, dark sky, whatever)
