    Is Zanmato a single target attack or does it hit everything? I've been cheesing the Dark Aeons because I don't feel like grinding forever and I've just got Anima, Yojimbo, Ixion, and Magus Sisters left. My question is in regard to the Magus Sisters specifically.

    It hits all enemies on screen.

    Magus Sisters are a pushover though if you fight them separately. Only one left that you listed that you may have a problem with is Anima.

    take out the ladybug sis first and you take away one of the worst parts of the fight, as she's a white mage and will even raise her sisters if they fall. if i remember right the red mantis sis is pretty hard hitting, while the bee sis has lots of annoying multi attacks and is evasive, but squishy.

    Like Kirin said, you can fight them individually if you run away from them.

    She can actually raise her sisters? It's been eleven years since I last did the fight, but I don't think I've ever seen her do that. Fairly sure I took her out second or third, going for the bee (Sandy?) first since she had the fewest HP. Raise would be nifty, though, maybe they added that into the remakes? I do recall them doing that in FFIV, but I think it was tied to them not dying at the same time.

    she does. i'm pretty sure i saw her cast full-life the first time i fought them and had a nasty surprise from it. -_-. even if i'm wrong though, she's a white mage, so it's best to get rid of her first to keep her from healing the others.

    Is there a way to get Al Bhed primers that were missed? I missed all of the ones in Home specifically.

    Have to get them in a new playthrough. Luckily you can transfer over primers so if you get the rest you can just play up to home for a full set.

    Of all the ones to miss, those are the worst. x.x Unfortunately, those are not obtainable anywhere else in the game. Same with the one after Home before the Bevelle temple.

    Those + Bevelle are the only permanently missable ones.

    If you're concerned about the trophy, I think you can load up your primers on a new file if you're willing to re-start to the miss-able primers. Although, I'm not sure if that will unlock the trophy or not. I guess that wasn't very useful lol.

    It will. I missed the 2nd (in Besaid) and my options were defeat Valfor or start a new game.

    Some of the strategies online say you put Tidus in Loner Overdrive Mode and just do Slice & Dice while defending to build the overdrive gauge. Saves you from the 1-hit KO move he does. I found it quicker just to build Tidus and Wakka up to full using Ally Mode on Dingo's, start out with Slice and Dice to put him on his back and just do regular hits/Overdrives from Wakka til he's dead. I eat the Flare he shells out... only does about 2k to a character with 255 Mag Def and about 1k with Shell. Luck was the last thing I did to cap stats so it went easier for me with 40kish HP. The Greater Sphere was my bad one. Hydraulic Press did around 20k without Protect on WITH 255 Defense.

    Hit the wall with Dark Bahamut and Dark Anima. Only one of my characters has Ribbon equipped so zombie tactics I used on Nemesis aren't working with two characters petrified/shattered from odd hits. Been slow trying to get Dark Matter (at 86 right now) fighting endless One-Eye monsters. The grind is killing me right now. Damn trophies!

    Yeah, it's not that it's hard, just painfully tedious. Also, if you haven't killed Yojimbo, I think he's a faster option for Dark Matter. Also, the imp you have to fight for MP spheres (I think it's that one, it might be the bird for evasion) should be a 1 hit kill, so that's slightly faster than One Eye -- although I don't think its drops were as valuable.

    Ally mode for overdrive sounds a little slow. With Victor you do 2 quick fights to get full overdrive. Greater Sphere you should just 2-shot with slice and dice and then perfect attack reels.

    Didn't think about Yojimbo... Might try that instead. I'm leaving MP at 999; not sacrificing a slot on armor for it. BHPL, Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste and Ribbon.

    It's 5 defends for overdrive I think on ally with celestials but might be faster with Victor. Will check it out. The problem I had with Greater Sphere is after every Overdrive, he did Hydraulic Press for 20k+ damage or 10k+ if I had protect up, then Slice and Dice was too weak to finish him (Wakka and Tidus Celestials lose power as HP drops). It forced me to do one round of heals for everyone then I finished him off. With Auto-haste, he never got a hit in. Just took longer.

    So, FFX-2 Creature Creator: am I screwed if I didn't catch killer hound before Chapter 5?

    So I finally captured ten of each Mob and I'm at the point now to build my armor and Stat grind. I'm currently fighting fafnir for the auto protect items, and can destroy one eye in two hits. The other mobs do unspeakable things to me lol. What order should I be doing the Stat grinding? Mdef first or pdef? I know luck is probably going to be last.
