Platinumed it on the PS3
F*ck me if I was going to max out the sphere grid for every character on a handheld
You platinumed it? are you kidding me? your saying you completed every single node in the grid sphere? for ALL characters? what the ****!
dude i got all eaons, most of the legendary weapons and on my way to fight Omega and not even close to completing half of the grid sphere for one character yet alone all of them.
what the **** seriously.
That I did - you can check my ID on PSNprofiles if you don't believe me (card is below). Also, I did it on the original grid in place of the expert one - the original has more slots, plus I didn't have much interest in playing FFX in a way that was different from the original.
Maxing the sphere grid isn't as daunting as it initially seems. Once you have the Monster Arena completed, you can farm One-Eye for Triple AP weapons and transform them into Triple Ap, Triple Overdrive, Overdrive -> AP experience tools. From there, turn your overdrive modes to comrade (charges when ally takes damage) and your attacker's overdrive to Stoic (charges when you take damage) and each battle against the Don Tonberry will net 20 or so moves per attack. Each battle you can easily max out your moves to 99 with that setup.
The more annoying problem is stocking up enough spheres to complete the grid. The fastest way is to farm Kottos, who - if you use a distiller - will give you 40x any one sphere as a drop. But when you have 7x characters moving around the grid with 99 moves all the time, you burn through the spheres quicker than anything else. Hence, why you have to keep replenishing and constantly.
The largest annoynace by far is farming luck spheres from Earth Eater. Even maxed out, it's a drawn-out fight each time because of his auto-counter with flare whose animation you have to sit through EVERY.DAMN.TIME. Of course you could just purchase Clear Spheres and remove all the luck spheres from the grid but it works against you when you go toe-to-toe with some of the Dark Aeons and Penance (assuming you aren't cheesing them by buying Zanmato from Yojimbo - which, admittedly, I did against Dark Anima. I was too much in a rush to get to Penance to put up with that 8mil HP whore).
