When can you get control of the airship to return to previous areas? I thought it would happen sometime when I got into Zanarkand but it hasn't happened yet. I know there's an airship because I remember using it and inputing coordinates to get to places. Would like to do a couple things before I take on the last bosses. Or is the only way to do it before the end is to run all the way back to the places you want to revisit?

After Zanarkand's cloister

[BretBaber]

where do you go to get it?  is it after the yunalesca fight?

and when do you start to get some level 3 spheres?

[pspiddy]

Fuck. Does that mean I can't get back to the desert to farm cactuars until then? I thought the paths unlocked and you could walk back through and farm. I still have a desert save but I really don't want to go through all of the cut scenes and shit again. I guess I can always farm marlboros in the mountains but isn't that spawn rate shit?

Uggh...I wish I had a strategy guide with all of the information I want instead of everything I've seen that is basically a walkthrough. Fuck it, I've figured it all out before and I can do it again. If I were smart I'd take notes. But we all know I'm a fucktard.

[BretBaber]

I don't think it is possible until you get the airship.  I have the X and X-2 guide in my amazon cart waiting for me, but I need $35 worth of stuff to get free shipping.  We need Kay, where are you?

[pspiddy]

KAAAAAAAAY! Why have you forsaken us!

Bret, honestly just get Prime, dude. Also, Hyrule Historia is $19.76. Throw in, like, 25 cents of filler and you got your $35 right there. Completely justified too. You're welcome.

[BretBaber]

No prime for me, I don't order enough to get it. We sell the Hyrule Historia at Wal-Mart for some reason (I only say that because we typically sell lame books) and it's $20 and I can get a discount. I think I'm going to wait until I get a couple groomsmen some gifts that I might get from amazon.

[pspiddy]

You know what, doggy, pm me your addy and I'll order it for you as a wedding gift. I can think of worse things to do with $15. Besides, you can then let me know if there's enough Amano in it for me to purchase for myself. And I'll also own your soul.

[Krubixcube]

If I was back home I'd send you my old print guide for FFX...sorry man =(

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

where do you go to get it?  is it after the yunalesca fight?

and when do you start to get some level 3 spheres?

You don't go anywhere you just get it after the fight

Level 3 key Spheres are rare drops from the Defenders in Zanarkand and are common drops in the Omega Ruins.

You can also steal a few from Biran and Yenke if Kimarhi knows steal

and spiddy you cant go back to the desert till then, and you might as well wait since you can unlock the Cactuar village which practically spawns them every battle.

[pspiddy]

I had no idea there was a cactuar village. I will investigate this.

Oooooooh, the sub event. I'm not Charles Bronson so fuck that. I'm saying I screwed myself from not power leveling in the desert. You know, fight the puny mobs to get overdrives and whoop cactuar ass when you pull them. Flee from all the crazy shit. What you're saying is endgame. I want to break the game now That area be crazy, mang.

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

its better to powerlevel after the calm lands anyways though. That way you can capture m0nsters as well. Grinding in the cave where you get yojimbo is a good idea just stick near a save sphere.

[pspiddy]

Ah, forgot about that too. You're awesome, kay, thank you^^

Right now I'm still on the airship screwing around with the sphere grid. I should have taken a screenshot of how many levels I'd neglected. Besides Lulu and Tidus I literally am moving everyone 2 grids. I was wondering why Auron was sucking. Jeebus, I'm stupid.

[BretBaber]

Surely there's got to be another way to get level 3 spheres. Fought many of those Defenders and they never dropped one. I only have 1 in my inventory that I won from a boss fight I believe. There's so many things that require them on the sphere grid there just has to be another spot to get them. Please tell me there is Kay, my heart is breaking.   

You really don't have to do that pspiddy, but it would definitely compete with my favorite gift that I've received so far, which is a panini maker. I've whipped up many tasty sandwiches with that. The other gifts that I've received that I like a lot are a keirug coffee maker and a vacuum cleaner.

We should all give out addresses for birthday cards. Because that would be cool.

[volvocrusher]

My mom won a panini maker a few years back and I can honestly say it's one of the greatest things ever. I'm definitely going to have one of those of my own when I move out.

[BretBaber]

What kind of paninis do you make? The first one I made was angus roast beef, provolone, and i grilled up some green peppers and onions. For seasoning I used cracked black pepper and salt and Helmann's mayo. It was delicious.

Another good one is an Italian which consist of sandwich pepperoni, brown sugar ham, mozzarella, banana peppers, lettuce, Italian dressing (just a dash), and Helmann's again. Also delicious.

One for the future I have high hopes on would be really good turkey deli meat, some mashed potatoes, and gravy with some colby jack cheese. It's a stretch, but I'm hoping it turns out well.

[volvocrusher]

I just use it to make grilled cheese faster and easier. Every now and then I'll pile some meat between and always have some tomato soup to dip it into

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

stealing from Biran Yenke is the best way to get level 3 keyspheres early. If you dont have the patience to grind the defenders wait till you get the airship and head to the omega ruins. They are really common drops there.

[pspiddy]

Bret, you're a jackass. I assume the only reason she said 'yes' is lack of options.

@Greenie: Don't encourage him.

Shit gets strange when Kay is the on point sensible one.

[BretBaber]

I'm just going to assume she said yes because of my thick man flesh. And panini skills.

[pspiddy]

@Bret: Check your messages.

So, Wakka should have Zombie by the time Tidus has Hastega. I'm not sure what I want to do after that. Return spheres are a premium so that's not an option. I kind of want to go Thief with Tidus. I'm pretty sure I did that back on PS2. I really don't know. What are you guys doing? (regular grid, not fancy-pants expert)

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

I did

Auron > Rikku (so he can have more turns)

Tidus > Auron (higher attack power, etc)

Rikku > Tidus (even more turns)

Yuna and Lulu are going for Ultima, and dual cast and then likely sending then down Rikku's

Kimahri, and Wakka im putting on Lulu and Yuna's

I am using expert though, and i had a surplus of return, and teleport spheres so.

[pspiddy]

I never thought of going that way with Auron or Tidus. I usually went Tidus > Wakka and Auron > Tidus. The only return sphere I plan on using is for Yuna when I can unlock reanimate (or whatever). I'm glad I have a similar thought process on the rest though. You never really know if you're doing shit right in a game like this until you can discuss it with others. I mean, there is no wrong way, but still...

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

Reanimate? You mean Auto-Life?

[pspiddy]

That would be the one.

[BretBaber]

I will check.

[A Roguish Ham]

So I guess there's the standard and advanced sphere grid. Since I never played the game before, I'm thinking I should stick with standard right? Also, does that lock out the extra content that was present in the international version or is that available regardless of which grid I choose?

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

Everything should be there regardless

[BretBaber]

The Omega Ruins is pretty tough until some of you finally start getting some Level 3 spheres. I'm kind of annoyed with the level spheres, seems like they don't really belong. Kay, where might I find level 4 spheres? Seems like that will be next week's problem.

[Miraculous Kaydybug]

Omega Ruins for level 4 spheres too. Just run around next to the save sphere and save after ever battle. Also Silence the monoliths before you do anything else against them otherwise they counter everything even stealing.
