Tidus is Ichigo. But it was his first role...

Tidus and Yuna's models look better than I expected them to. In terms of the stone face problem, Tidus probably faired better than Yuna in that regard. I'm really impressed with the prerendered backdrops in this game. And with the texture updates throughout, the prerendered and non-prerendered work really seem to mesh well together.
My number one complaint is the seemingly low quality of the battle/boss music. If the new themes are inferior or superior I wouldn't know, because you can't really hear it. And they have no punch. In terms of other tracks, they sound pretty good. I like Besaid's new track. Maybe the PS3 version would have fared better overall in terms of music, though.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Brother is seriously the most overpowered low level Blitzball player in the game. Complete one-man dominance.
edit: Like, look what kind of sorcery I'm pulling out of my ass at level 7.

Are you following a guide and if so which one?

I've 100%ed the game before but I'm using both SplitInfinity and PiggyBacks Official guide.
Not officially.
The Asian version of the game will be Japanese audio with Chinese subs iirc.

There will also be a version that is English audio with English subs. Probably no English subs with Japanese audio this time.

Sorry, but where's this cove located?
Unless you have a PS3 with custom firmware.
It's a small niche located in the southern part of the map. There's a Qactuar stone and a chest containing a Water Ball for Wakka there. It takes a bit of maneuvering but once you situate yourself right it's easy dodging.
Personally, I only use it for easy Strength Spheres on my first visit, then I return later with my No Encounters weapon for the Venus Sigil.
The arena is fairly painless. IIRC most of it can be beaten as OSG-level stats without Aeons or Trio.
The real endgame is the Dark Aeons/Penance, but those are more about stat grinding/customizing than actual strategy.

Is it possible to win the story blitzball match? It has to be right? Tidus can't catch. Tidus can't shoot. And he's my ... best player? Edit: Oh, apparently he can.
When you unlock creations in the Monster Arena, the owner gives you items. Most of them can be used to customize good equipment. You can also get the items (or sometimes, equipment with the factor built in) by drops or by using Steal or Bribe. Depends on the item.
Being really general here, but when it comes to equipment, anything that has "Auto-" in the name and isn't Auto-Shell or Auto-Regen is good. There are a few other good armor factors, status immunity especially, but that's just a general guideline. Weapons are mostly ignored since you'll be using the Celestials anyway.
Yes. It's a bit luck based when the Goers are on offence, but if you get a few goals with the Jecht Shot (and/or Wakka's Venom Shot) you should be good.

Yes, requires maybe multiple tries but it's possible. As for why Tidus "can't catch", read the rules if you're not familiar with blitzball, it explains it well.

Jecht Shot isn't available round 1 so you'll have to survive for 5 minutes. Stand behind your own goalie and pass back and forth between Tidus and someone else (for the experience). Round 2, have Jecht Shot equipped and abuse the triangle "speed" glitch or let Datto be Tidus' main assist for that one goal that you need.

I fucked up on following the prompts to get the Jecht shot so I don't have that. : ( I did manage to make one goal though lol. I feel like that's an accomplishment.
Tidus can score on Raudy without the Jecht Shot. Wakka has an easier time though.

I managed to score with Tidus, but Wakka wasn't able to keep the ball in order to shoot. 2:1 isn't so bad.
It's weird how there are still some low res textures on the main characters here and there.
There we goEveryone's complete celestial gear... except silly Lulus, of course -_-
You can customize her something better unless you're really itching to turn her into a Quick Hit bot.
That attack animation IS pretty cute though.

It's about getting 100% man
It's not like I'll be using her against Penance anyway ._.I'll do the lightning dodges when I recover from my zombie state.

Why not? Lu is the best!

I simply don't like her ._. not her personality, nor her end-game gameplay.
Awwwww, I guess Onion Knight will have to wait for my playthrough to achieve his destiny and defeat Penance.
Just kidding, I'm using Zanmato.

Aight I'm calling it "a night"... not even tired - but I need to be focused to kill these next level arena monsters.
Session two was 43 hours. Total playtime after two sessions:
G'night! Next session will be my platinum trophy, hopefully :3

You're insane.
Praise be to Yevon.
Such a flop remaster. I was so excited for this too.Just saw the cutscenes withfrom a stream... You know, that scene in the trailers where everybody complained about how new Yuna was WAY less expressive... Well it's still the caseYunalesca
Flop remaster? Hahahhahaha

Yoshichan do you think the native resolution of the ps3 version is above 720p, like Kingdom Hearts?

I thought KH: HD was 720p? I think it's similar to KH.

KH was somewhere between 720p and 1080p, that game is really crisp.

hardly.
this is probably the best remaster ever made, along with kingdom hearts. i think this is better though.
So definitively what is the native resolution?
To have better quality recordings than what they had? Something that would better compliment a HD era game.

Kingdom Heart 1.5 also "changed" the music, although you didn't hear many complaints about it. The intent is obviously to get better quality recordings than what they had before, but KH 1.5 pulled it off while the result isn't quite as satisfying for FF X.
I could hardly recognize the decisive battle theme at first which is not a good thing lol. XD It doesn't matter all that much to me either way, since I'm buying this to play the international version of both game first and foremost.
