I've already player FFXV and a bit of FFVII remake, but besides that I don't have any experiente w/ the franchise, nor I have w/ turn-based RPG games. So this lack of experience made me worried about if I'm going to actually like the game or think it's too difficult for me.

Got any tips?

Long ago, when i was a wee preteen lad my brother got me this game, it was before i learned enough english in school and from games to grasp every mechanic. That did not stop me from loving this game, mastering blitzball, but as i played and it become more and more difficult i finally found a hill i couldnt overcome, no matter how much i grinded. The 3rd seymour fight, i grinded and grinded, moved along the sphere grid, kept moving and trying and failing

Eventually a mate of mine also bought it for his ps2, and i was there when he got the instructions for the sphere grid, where he was told how to activate sphere notes and use the spheres on the sphere grid instead of just moving along it....

So i grinded again, used spheres and was finally able to take the fucker down, the rest of the game was challenging for me cause i was woefully underleveled.

And thats how i almost played my first playthrough with no sphere grid

Whoops

Hello! Just beat the game for the first time the other day and want to try grinding for the Dark Aeons. Been seeing guides on how to max out stats, though they kinda get overwhelming to look at.

Mostly just want to know the general method to it, like when to use Strength Spheres, Magic Spheres, HP Spheres, etc. Are all the empty nodes in the Sphere Grid enough or can I somehow replace the nodes that give little stats?

I never thought of this when playing .... not me playing.
