Final Fantasy X Guide: Best Tips and Tricks

Final Fantasy X is one of the most famous games in the world, which has managed to amass a huge legion of followers. This game has had a remastered version released for consoles such as the Nintendo Switch for a couple of years now. A version that has managed to bring back the popularity of this title worldwide.

You may also be playing Final Fantasy X and want to know more about the game, with some tips and tricks that will help you move better in this universe. Below we leave you with a series of tricks that you can use in this new version of the game, to know how to advance.

Secret codes in Final Fantasy X

One aspect that is very important in this game is the many passwords and secret codes that we find. Thanks to them we can obtain certain objects or enter certain areas. This happens especially in the Fahrenheit ship, where we have a series of codes that we can use. They are the following:

  • MURASAME:  This code will allow you to obtain Auron’s Katana Murasame. This is a weapon that has four slots, two of which are occupied by Penetration and Consumption, two skills that can be helpful. This weapon is not the best one we find in the game, but it is a good help.
  • GODHAND: By using this secret code in Final Fantasy X you will be able to obtain Rikku’s celestial weapon, called God’s Hand. It is one of the weapons of the seven stars in the game, so you have to activate it in Macalania, using their respective symbols and emblems. This also allows it to reach its full power.
  • VICTORIOUS: This code will allow you to get Rikku’s Victorious armor. This armor has four slots and three of them are occupied by the skills: immune to lightning, immune to fire and immune to cold. This is why it is presented as an armor of enormous use in the game.

Get Yojimbo at a better price

Yojimbo is an Aeon that we can get in Final Fantasy X, but if we want, it is possible to get it at a much better price. This is something that we will be able to do when we answer the question of why we want you to accompany him, using the option “to defeat the most powerful enemy”.

The starting price we are looking at is 250,000 units, but we can get it for less. We need to offer him exactly 125,001 for him to start lowering the price in those negotiations. He will then tell you that the price you have to pay is 202,500 and you can then offer him 141,751 and he will present you with his final offer, which will be 190,350 . This is the lowest price you will be able to get it for, so you should accept. This is a good way to negotiate and thus get a discount.

Hidden locations

Gaining control of the Fahrenheit ship is a big deal in Final Fantasy X. This will allow you to navigate to any of the locations on the map without any issues. Additionally, you are given the ability to input coordinates so that you can go to a specific point on the map directly, if that is what you want.

One of the options we have is to go to a secret location . There are many interesting secret locations in Final Fantasy X that we can go to using the Fahrenheit ship. We will simply have to enter the coordinates of these locations, which are the following:

  • Baaj Temple: X=11, Y=57.
  • Besaid Waterfall:  X=29, Y=73.
  • Mi’ihen Ruins: X=33, Y=55.
  • Omega Ruins: X=69, Y=41.
  • Sanubia Ruins: X=12, Y=41.

Discovering these hidden locations is something that can be interesting, so if you get control of this ship, don’t hesitate to make use of them.

Battles

One tip that many Final Fantasy X players don’t know or forget is to keep all of your characters in the battle until you’ve killed all of your enemies. As long as your characters are doing something useful in the battle, they’ll gain experience that will be extremely useful as we progress through the game. That’s why it’s important to keep them in the battle until the end.

Keeping them will help you level up very quickly, which is necessary for characters like Rikku or Yuna . They are not necessary characters for non-boss enemies, but having a strong character is something that will make a clear difference in the game. Especially if we are facing a strong boss, we will need a character that is going to be strong, that has the ability to face said boss.

Another tip that can help us in battles in the game is overskills. Overskills in boss battles in Final Fantasy X are extremely useful. On the one hand, they can help us get a lot of extra AP, and they also allow us to obtain many items, which is undoubtedly a great advantage. In addition, the items that bosses give us are always really useful, because we can use them at many times. Another detail to keep in mind is that getting overskills in boss battles is relatively easy, so it is worth it.

Overdrives of the Aeons

In Final Fantasy X we have random encounters, as many of you probably already know. Something important that many forget is to always charge the Aeons’ overdrives during random encounters. We have to save them in order to use them in boss fights. If we do it correctly, these Aeons will be able to kill many bosses on their own, something that can be very helpful.

Therefore, it is best to summon only one and use its overdrive . When the boss kills it, summon the next Aeon before the next turn of that boss in question. This way, it will be able to perform its overdrive without any problem. This is a trick that can help us in some key moments in the game.

Attack on Valefor

Valefor has a devastating attack in second place. It is an Overdrive attack that we can get when Yuna returns to our team after some incidents that occur in the story. In this case, we will have to return to Besaid and talk there with a girl who is near the temple, who has a dog.

This girl will give us an item that we can use to help our Eon learn Energy Blast. If the girl is not near the temple, which can happen, check inside the item shop. Energy Blast is an attack that offers more destructive power , although Valefor takes longer to recover after using it. That is why we must use it carefully when playing Final Fantasy X.

Al Bhed Alphabet in Final Fantasy X

The Albhed people we meet in the game speak a made-up language . The first time we play it, it can be quite confusing, but the reality is that this language simply replaces the letters of the words with others, so after a little while we won’t have any problems understanding what they are saying. In addition, in Final Fantasy X we will find a series of dictionaries with which we can decipher this language without too many problems.

If you want to decipher what they are saying as quickly as possible, it is good to know which letters are replacing other letters in this invented language. Here is the list, which will help you learn more about this language in the game:

  • The letter A corresponds to Y in its alphabet.
  • The letter B corresponds to P.
  • The letter C corresponds to the L.
  • The D corresponds to the T of its alphabet.
  • The letter E corresponds to A.
  • The letter F corresponds to V.
  • The letter G corresponds to K.
  • The letter H corresponds to the R.
  • The letter I corresponds to E.
  • The letter J corresponds to Z.
  • The letter K corresponds to G.
  • The letter L corresponds to M.
  • The letter M corresponds to S in its alphabet.
  • The letter N corresponds to H.
  • The letter O corresponds to the U.
  • The letter P corresponds to B.
  • The letter Q corresponds to X.
  • The letter R corresponds to N.
  • The letter S corresponds to C.
  • The letter T corresponds to D.
  • The letter U corresponds to the letter I.
  • The letter V corresponds to J.
  • The letter W corresponds to F.
  • The letter X corresponds to Q.
