I have heard so many people talk about "aeons" this..."aeons" that..."aeons are the shit"...well the last comment was correct, honestly the aeons are crap...wanna know why?

Aeons = 2-3 turns per round, so a maximum damage of 199,998 - 299,997...
Godly Chars = 2-3 turns per round each, so a maximum damage of 599,994 - 899,991

...which one is better?

So I put together a little something, it's very brief but you all need to know this! You don't need aeons! Their useless!

My Chars: Tidus, Wakka, Aura(Or Lulu For Fury, I Use Auron Cuz...Well...He's Just A Pimp)

Making The Ultimate FF 10 Characters!
=====================================

This FAQ is very very breif but gets the point very quickly, do everything that is in this FAQ and I gaurantee you will have a very very good team. I will tell you though that you need 2 things for this FAQ... 1. Patience and 2. 10,000,000 Gil! >_>

Fly to Macalania and at the sphere go south until you see O'aka's brother standing there. He is selling 4xBlank slot weapons. Buy one for each of your main characters.

Capture 1 of every monster in the game. When you visit the Monster arena guy he will give you "99 X Winning Forumla" and "99 X Door To Tommorow". Use your weapon customization to add "Triple Overdrive" and "Overdrive" to AP to each of your main characters blank weapons.

Gain about 7,500,000 gil. Go tot he omega ruins and find an enemy called Varuna, he is near the end where the Omega Weapon is. Bribe 3 of them for 1,500,000 each. You will recieve 20x Mega Elixir. You need 60! Add Double AP on to your main characters weapons.

Next, go to the monster arena with your newly equipped weapons. Make Tidus's overdrive set on "Stoic" while your other two party members are set on "Comrade". Enter a battle with Don Tonberry. Use Tidus to attack Don Tonberry. In return he will use a counter attack move that will instantly kill Tidus. This counterattack move does damage depending on how many enemies Tidus has hit before, 99% of the time it's enough to kill your character, if it's not..then you got a problem =X!

Anywho, keep doing this over and over again until Don Tonberry gets all up in your character's business (Walks all the way up to your characters) and then use the "Flee" command, after the battle you might get 10-15 sphere levels. It's not much, but after you start using these sphere levels your character gets faster, more attacks per round and starts getting more damage done to him by which means More Ap.

Still Confused? This is how it works...Let's say that Tidus has 5,000 HP and he is set on stoic. When he attacks Don Tonberry, let's say he does 12,500 damage to Tidus. Instead of gaining overdrive from having "Stoic" on, your overdrive is running into your AP. So lets say the damage he does to you is equal to 6,250 AP. You also have triple overdrive, so that actually makes that 18,750 ap. But wait, you have Double ap! Which makes that 37,500 AP everytime your Tidus gets hit! So lets say you hit him 10 times during the battle, that's 11 sphere levels!

After using sphere levels over and over again your character will become faster and able to land more hits, which means MORE AP! The the more times you hit Don Tonberry, the more damage he will do to you, which means MORE AP! I got so far up there that my character actually gets 30-50 sphere levels per fight.

Do know that if you keep doing this you will eventually want to fight some more Area Creations and Species conquests. Each of these yeild a special item after battle, but most of the Area Creations will yeild Hp Spheres (HP+400) MP Sphere (MP+40) STR/DEF/MAG/MDF/AGI/ACC/EVA (+4 Stat) Spheres.

Running low on activation spheres? No problem! Remember those disstillers? There are two monsters (Kottos & Faufnir) in the monster arena that if you throw a distiller at them and kill them, they will drop 20x of that sphere! If you manage to overkill them they will drop 40x! If they only drop 2...consider that bad luck because otherwise you would have gotten 2x Dark Matter!

My FFX Characters are the shit and can take down Nemesis (Hardest boss in the game) every time. If you need any help, just message me on the forums or send me a mail to a317xf1503@gmail.com! Thanks for your time!

Example
----------
I have 90 hours on my FFX game.

Tidus
HP: 36,556
MP: 999

STR: 255
DEF: 255
MAG: 205
MDF: 255
ACC: 255
AGI: 255
EVA: 255
LCK: 105

Tidus hits for 99,999 every time. He has auto-haste on him, and with using Quick Hit on nemesis I can whittle down about 2,000,000 of his 10,000,000 HP in one turn using Tidus, Wakka and Lulu.

Best Overdrive in the game is Wakka's attack reels, period. This can do up to 1,200,000!!!

nice ill try this sometimes

All my chars hits with 99.999
And i have to say that i still prefer my aeons.

They manage to create a considerable blow contra normal attacks!

See this is what I'm talking about, it makes absolutley no sense, "Considerable blow" in that sentence means they do "max damage" and nothing else. 1/3 the ammount of damage you can do with a party of 3 maxed out players is nothing.

I got an idea, take an aeon maxed out against 3 maxed out players and only give them the attack command...who wins? The 3 maxed out chars...he may take one out if he gets first turn...but he's gone after.

Not to mention that most of the bosses you encounter in the game can just banish your aeons away, you get to use them for like one single round, possibly two and then their gone, instant death. Not too often to bosses cast Death x3 on your normal characters.

so these weapons u created are better than the celestial weapons cuz i hate getting pppls crests and signs

My Yuna can exceed the maximum dmg allowed, and so does her aeons!
Aeons > Your theory
Anytime!!!

no, these weapons only do 9,999 and are strictly used for getting sphere levels. Celestial weapons will always be the best period. I tried to make my own Caladbolg and it really wasn't that good and was referred to as an "Excalibur". My Tidus did like 39,000 compared to 99,999 with the Caladbolg !



That's nice, but all my character exceed the maximum dmg allowed and none of them do below 99,999 a hit.

So your saying that one aeon doing 99,999 is better than 3 characters doing 99,999? I would love to see a picture of any of your aeons taking down Nemesis, it can not be done unless you happen to do 9,999,999 damage to him and use an aeon for the last hit.

Your Theory: 1 Char Doing 99,999 is better than 3 chars doing 99,999...makes no sense to me period...

Imagine 3 anima's, or 3 bahamuts at the same time...same shit I'm talking about here.

===============================
=SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THE GAME!!! =
===============================
NOT TO MENTION that at the last battle there's no point in using aeons cuz...well...you can't! Jecht's banishes them, you kill them after you summong them while fighting Yu-Yevon
============
=END OF SPOILER=
============

I gaurantee that NONE of your aeons can take on a SINGLE original creation. Why? Cuz Earth eater, the WEAKEST of them all can do a 50,000 hp attack that will instantly kill anything. What happens to your aeon with a hit like that, it dies and you have to leave the battle to heal him and start all over again. With 3 chars, one dies you just revive them...so simple...

but aeons are sexy i always used rikku > lulu even tho rikku sucks -.-

I'm not saying the aeons are better for the fight's against the original monsters.
But as you proceed throug the game they Will come in handy!
And you dont need anything special to kill Yu-Yevon except the ability to inflict Zombie!

And i dont know how your grid looks!
But all mine's got 99 move's and nowhere to move them!

The strength of your Aeons depends on Yuna!

yah i know Yuna's aeons depends on Yuna.

My Tidus/Wakka/Lulu/Auron/Yuna have a complete sphere grid, every sphere is activated, even the empty ones have +4 stat or +400 health or +40 mp nodes.

I do agree you on one point, when your going THROUGH the game in my opinion, the best thing to do is aeons, mostly because their handy in boss battles through the game. But what I am saying is that you if you want to get the optional content and beat the Original Creations and have braggings right for doing the hardest thing in the game, you can't do that with aeons =P!



I never did like Rikku cuz Lulu's overdrive can do like 600,000 compared to rikku's 99,999 o.0!
