Walkthrough:Final Fantasy X/CSM's Walkthrough

Crazyswordsman

I've decided I'm going to let AK do his walkthrough at his leisure. I've looked at his writing and decided that I can write a better one (in my opinion, not the Wiki's). So I'm going to write my own walkthrough. If you want to whine about it, I am the Wiki's complaint department, as you know. This'll be in the same vain as my FFVI walkthrough. Part 1 is stolen from AK (with minor tweaks to it that I made to his walkthrough), as is about a third of the second part. After that it's all me, me, ME!!!!

CSM's official rules of Final Fantasy X

1. PILLAGE! Stealing has NEVER been more important in a game until now. You need to steal items early and often. This is the ONLY way you can consistently teach your Aeons new abilities, and it's the only way you can customize weapons. Take Kimahri down Rikku's path VERY EARLY so you can start your robbery A.S.A.P. And if you have any moral side, there's no one in this game who refuses to call themselves Thieves and they don't prefer the Treasure Hunter title.
2. Aeons murder everything. Aeons make the game incredibly easy for you. Keep in mind that there are some bosses in the Monster Arena that render Aeons ineffective (because you need a full party you can control) and some bosses can Banish them.
3. Make all characters take at least one turn in every battle, even if they just defend. This way everyone can get AP and EXP.
4. Play Blitzball! Have patience, you need to do this if you want to make Wakka uber.
5. NulBlaze, NulFrost, NulShock, and NulTide all suck, despite what others may tell you. They protect from ONE attack from ONE element. If you want elemental protection, do it from your armor or do a Mix to get it.

How to suck at Final Fantasy X

• Use the Cheer, Focus, Aim, Reflex, Luck, and Jinx commands. Use them often.
• Don't have Rikku deliver the finishing blow after she gets her Godhand
• Don't fight Mimics
• Don't Steal. Stealing is wrong!
• Don't learn new, more powerful Overdrive modes.
