Let's start one of these shall we.

Okay hope this isn't too hard. How many different scenes are there on the Hot Springs CommSphere?

No idea. Enlighten us.

You know, if you really want us to believe that yourself and that other identical ID are two different people, here's a tip; you might try just a little over 1% hard to convince us. Stop trashing these threads and being a blatant troll(s).

You really are intent on me and that loser being the same guy? He sure looks like a troll but he's the only one mate.

I can't be 100% sure, as this is the internet and anyone can be who they wish to be. But I never stated you by name, and you were pretty quick to find my post, too. At any rate, I'm not posting in here any further so as not to derail this thread any more than it already has been (sorry Zak).

IP checks ftw.

I wouldn't use a proxy. I'm genuine like that.

What is it with people and trains in this place?

Hey whadda you know? I really didn't expect this thread to get many respones, but I guess I was proven wrong. Go twin trolls!

Zak, I really want to participate in this Trivia thread I just don't know X-2 well enough. I only played it once. But since no one else is going to, and I'm bored, I'm gonna answer.
I believe there were 3 different scenes.

Hah, way off, Smarty.

Johnny and Owen, that's enough. Any future posts of yours that are just stirring up shit in sections that I mod will just be deleted. To everybody else-- don't respond.

Bumping this thread, because it's been unjustly forgotten.

Are there 6 scenes?

Yeah, I don't play X-2 very often...

I'm certain it's way more than six, though I'll be darned if I know the exact number. If you guys really are serious about continuing this, it might be better to just go ahead with a new question.

There's more than six.

I'll keep this question open for a little bit since people are finally noticing this thread.

as many as 15?

thats a guess but i remember that there was alot, everyone seemed to have a cameo there

Can I guess again?

My last guess is going to be 11.

Okay, now we have some guesses...

Some were really close, but I guess it's coming down to randomly guessing the exact number since I'm not asking to name them all, so I'll give it to superlusher since he's the closest. Yes, there are at least as many as 15. But in total there are 16.

Your question if you want it.

whahey what a guess! but i cant actually remember anytihn about this game to make a question...

okay, i got annoyed at the way the fiends were renamed so didnt have the same names they had in ffx. My question is, what is the Behemoth fiend renamed to? (you fight him in the thunder plains i think i remember)

The Behemoth is still Behemoth. The Behemoth King is renamed Humbaba.

aha okay it has been a long time! well it was the Humbuba i was after, so its your turn Zak

or indeed anyone since it has been a few weeks...

aw cmon stop letting these die! heres an easy one to get the ball rolling once more

what are the names of the two guys who hang around with Llablanc??

Yep, it's easy all right. Ormi and Logos.

sure is. ask away Agent

Okay... when you decide to jump into one of the holes leading to the Farplane Abyss, Brother starts to refer to the Gullwings by the various names they've adopted (i.e. "Friendly Neighborhood Gullwings") but then realizes he doesn't know what they're called anymore. What name does he finally decide on?

is it something like the 'Yuna warriors'?

Goddam. I love that scene. It's one of the few times Brother is legitimately funny. Buddy's additional comment of "whoa! Such passion!" also helped.

Still..I haven't played X-2 in a while. It's like Surging, Flapping, Neighboring Gullwings. Or is it flying.... And then
ATTAAAAAAAAACCCKKKK!!!

Yeah, you got it, The Anti. "Surging, Flapping, Neighboring Gullwings" it is.

Sweet.

I guess I'll just stick with a simple one. Name all of Shyin's overdrives and which overdrives of Tidus' they correspond to.

Sorry if it's not that hard.

Well, I've been playing the game recently (X-2), so I actually saw them in action, but since nobody else is answering (and I didn't look up the Tidus correspondents)...

Terror of Zanarkand - Blitz Ace
Spiral Cut - Spin Cut
Hit and Run - Slice and Dice
Force Rain - Energy Rain

Indeed you are correct. It's kind of sad they only really gave Blitz Ace a new name. A good name though.

So if you want to go, feel free.

Heh, that's kind of funny because Terror of Zanarkand is the only one I remembered.

Okay... what Garment Grid allows your characters to use Ultima magic and how do you obtain it?

is it dark knight and its in the bevelle underground on a jump-to platform?

LOL, sorry, but Dark Knight is a dressphere, not a Garment Grid.

ha! well it has been a lonnng time. The only one i can remember is Vanguard. So that makes my guess

Oh, sorry, never noticed this question.

Hmm, is it Mercurial Strike from defeating Angra Mainyuu?

If that's not it I have just one other guess.

And... lol I'm pretty sure it's NOT Vanguard, that's like... the first one you get.

I also have a question (not a trivia question, just one out of curiosity that I wonder if Agent or anyone knows): Is Ultima registered as a Black Magic or Arcana?

No, Zak, it's not the Mercurial Strike. Try your other guess. And Ultima's a Black Magic.

Okay is it Megiddo?

That being the one you get after taking all the paths to the Farplane through each hole?

:) Yeah, you got it, that's the one. Your go.

Okay. This one might be too hard or too easy... but here.

If you do 100% in one run, what's the minimum amount of Garment Grids you can be missing in the end?

EDIT: After doing a little research, the answer is actually different than what I initially thought. But I'm still going with this question.

Hmm, I'm going to take a shot at 6.

Nope... not 6...

making a guess at 8?

Nope, sorry, try again.

1?

I can say with absolute authority it's definitely not 1. I suspect it's probably higher than anything that's been said so far.

All I'm gonna say is that it's not 1.

Also, I'd like to see some guesses based on things rather than throwing out random numbers, if possible.

Yeah, I was just about to say that this sort of thing can get kind of silly because of people just throwing out random numbers. So let's stop doing that and start doing some actual thinking by approaching the problem methodically. Now all completion percentage is based on spoken dialogue, though not all spoken dialogue gives you completion percentage. So to start with, any Garment Grids that are just sitting around in chests don't have anything to do with completion percentage. So let's see here...

Thunderspawn - sitting in a chest in Luca
Treasure chest at Youth League base - don't know which, but I'm pretty sure it has a Garment Grid
Treasure chest in area with odd camera angle in Bevelle Underground

That's three. There are two Garment Grids you can buy as prizes in the Calm Lands if you reach Level 5 for the two agencies there. Although you need Level 5 for one of the agencies in order to get Calm Lands Episode Complete, you certainly don't have to purchase either Garment Grid. That makes 5.

There are two Garment Grids you can win as random prizes battling either the lady with the dog or Shinra at Sphere Break-- White Signet and Treasure Hunt. That's 7.

Shinra gives you Vanguard for viewing the Garment Grid tutorial and The End for Oversouling every fiend. That makes 9.

I'm about 95% sure that there are at least two Garment Grids (and about 90% sure that it's exactly two) that can only be obtained if you gave the Awesome Sphere to New Yevon (think one of them is Blood of the Beast) and since you can't get 100% completion in one playthrough if you do that, that makes 11.

The Tricks of the Trade Garment is obtained by scoring a win against Frailea in the Cact-War mini-game. That makes 12.

As we all should know, you obtain Megiddo by jumping into every one of the holes in the Chambers of the Fayth and making it to the end of the path for each one. That makes 13.

Ooh, almost forgot about this. There are two Garment Grids that you obtain by sending a chocobo out with Heart less than 100 and then if it doesn't find any treasure, you might randomly get a Garment Grid instead. One of them is Mounted Assault and the other is Strength of One. That's 15.

Now, let's see... there's a Garment Grid that you obtain from Lian and Ayde's Guado friend in the secret house and one that you can get from Lian and Ayde themselves, but I'm pretty sure neither is required for completion percentage, even though I'm pretty sure Lian and Ayde have some spoken dialogue that goes along with theirs. So I'm going to say that's 17.

You obtain the Samurai's Honor Garment Grid at the Travel Agency in the Thunder Plains for attempting to calibrate all of the Lightning Rod Towers and perfectly calibrating at least five of them. But you don't need to do that for completion, so that's 18.

IIRC, the treasure chest in the secret area that you can only visit by unlocking the second lock by finding the numbers using the Search Spheres in Besaid also contains a Garment Grid. So that's 19.

You obtain a Garment Grid for finding all 13 monkeys in Kilika Forest and talking to the woman back in town. That's 20.

You obtain a Garment Grid by giving all the correct passwords during the Kilika mission at the end of Chapter 1, but I'm pretty sure the soldiers all talk to you using textboxes, so that's 21.

Pretty sure you get a Garment Grid (Font of Power) for clearing out the fiend colony at the Mi'ihen Highroad, but this dungeon isn't needed for completion percentage. 22.

You obtain a Garment Grid by talking the Macalania Woods's youth "alarming friend" in Chapter 3. That makes 23.



Hmm... trying to think if there's anything else, but I'm coming up empty. So that's my guess, 23.

(Oh, and BTW - "this might too easy"? LOL. Only someone intimately familiar with the game could get this, unless they were using a guide. And, yeah, this post is pretty lengthy, but you said to think about it, so I did.)

Heh... now I understand your guesses. Nice thought pattern, but let's look at the question again.

If you do 100% in one run, what's the minimum amount of Garment Grids you can be missing in the end?

I asked what the minimum is to be MISSING. As in, how many exist in the game that you'd be forced to miss if you were to do 100%. Like, if you could do 100% in one run and be able to obtain every existing GG in the process, the answer would be 0. But I'll tell you, you won't be able to do that.

And yes I do think that might be easy, as I'm sure you can understand, or at least a lot easier than what you misread the question as. I liked your thought process though... heh.

Your answer would either replace "minimum" with "maximum" OR "missing" with "obtained".

Oh, wow, yeah, you're right, I totally misread the question. Well, in that case, I just go to part... let's see... four of my original answer:

"I'm about 95% sure that there are at least two Garment Grids (and about 90% sure that it's exactly two) that can only be obtained if you gave the Awesome Sphere to New Yevon (think one of them is Blood of the Beast.)"


So... 2.

Yep, that's correct, it is 2. The other is Shining Mirror, received after fighting Elma in Mushroom Rock (which only occurs if you choose New Yevon).

I actually initially thought it was 3, because in the PR mission there is one GG that appears as a prize if you raise Argent to max, and another for Open Air, but I didn't realize you can get both in the same run, but you can.

So... your question.

All right, keeping along the same theme - what is the maximum number of dresspheres you can be missing and still get 100% in one playthrough and which ones are they?

I thought you have to get all of them... but I'll assume this isn't a trick question where the answer is 0.

In that case I'm gonna guess 2. The Samurai and Dark Knight would make sense, seeing as those two you pick up along the way as you control, rather than in special events or scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if the simple action picking up an item doesn't earn %, even if it is a DressSphere.

Of course, I also wouldn't be surprised if there's another one that I'm missing a way around.

Also I hope you aren't counting the two in the international/last mission, because I know practically nothing about those two.

Oh yeah, not counting International and Last Mission. And, yes, you're correct-- for those two all you have to do is pick them up, so they don't count for any %.

Okay... yet another question keeping up the same theme. Same as my last one but for accessories.

If you're going for 100% in one shot and getting as many accessories as you can, as close as possible to completing the collection, what's the minimum you must miss? And what are they?

I'm going to go with three, all connected with Tobli sidequests in some way. There's the Minerva's Plate, which you can only get in Chapter 2 if you accepted the Shave the Hypello mission by talking to the Hypello first, rather than Tobli. Then there's the Enterprise, which you can only get by pushing Tobli into the elevator in Chapter 2 and he'll only be there if you didn't do Shave the Hypello at all in Chapter 1. Finally, there's the Key to Success, which you get by getting Episode Complete for the Moonflow, but choosing not to stop the Ronso attack in Chapter 3.

Yep, that's exactly correct, it's three indeed and you got them all.

Wasn't sure, thought someone might think the Heady Perfume is one of them, which you can only get by failing the Leblanc massage mini-game. But apparently you don't have to beat it to get 100% (I just found that out recently).

Well, as we've been saying, completion percentage has to do with dialogue and your performance in that mini-game doesn't change the conversation following it. In fact, if you fail it, you actually get a bit of additional dialogue when Leblanc tells you to do it again, not that that has anything to do with completion either.


Okay, we all know that Brother has a huge crush on Yuna, but what character states that she has a crush on Brother and for what reason?

I totally remember! Hah... well I don't remember her saying that directly, but it's Calli and it's because his hairstyle makes him look like a Chocobo.

Yep, that's the one. Your go. (Though maybe we should let someone else have a turn?)

I was thinking that... well, right now I can't think of anything, so until I do, someone else can take it.

I wasn't aware that getting dress spheres and accessories had anything to do with the completion percentages.
Of course I think that's a crock..as some of them are rather difficult to get/obtain.

shrugs....
I'll keep playing the game..I am on a replay as I played it originally several years ago.

Romantic monkeys are found in which area ? I assume someone here will recall where.

What, you expect completing every percentage to be easy, and difficult stuff to be worth nothing? :rolleyes:

accomplish those tasks.
How many in FFX successfully completed the butterfly game, the lightning dodge, and the -0.00 chocobo race ?
My guess is less than half...but that's just my sense of things.

Such tasks just increase a person's frustration level while accomplishing nothing noteworthy..except something for the person who succeedes to brag about.

shrugs.

You didn't answer the question btw....
smiles...

Yeah, but the butterfly game in Final Fantasy X is insanity-- there isn't anything nearly as difficult in X-2 by comparison...

The Butterfly game actually is not that bad... there was only one hurdle in that whole thing to give me trouble.

Anyway, I know the answer, but I'm choosing not to answer to give other people a chance. I reckon Agent is doing the same

Yeah, but the butterfly game in Final Fantasy X is insanity-- there isn't anything nearly as difficult in X-2 by comparison...

I don't know, both the Thunder Plains tower calibration and the cactuar shooting games in X-2 were much harder for me than even the butterfly game in X. O_o

Well-- that's fair, except for one thing-- there are no unique accessories which can be earned from the Thunder Plains game. The cactuar game does earn you a unique Garment Grid, but you only have to beat Frailea, and if you miss out the first time, you can always go back to the Cactuar Nation once you've beaten Angra Mainyu and try again.

For me, the biggest hurdle in both those games together, was dodging 200 lightning bolts. Everything else was a joke.

For me, the biggest hurdle in both those games together, was dodging 200 lightning bolts. Everything else was a joke.

To each his own. There is actually an easy way to do it. If you have no encounters on and stay just a little above where the rest area is (where the two paths join), the lightning strikes in an easily memorizable pattern. I get to about 300 every time I do it now, no sweat.

For me, that had nothing on the cactuar shooting game (at least doing it the way the game wants you to, that is).

It has a system to it...
I will admit I cheated last night..used the "I hate sphere break" computer program to beat Shina in sphere break...if there were cheats for the others..the lightning dodges..the chocobo races, the butterfly chase, recalibrating the towers...the headaches from both games...most people would choose the easy way out.

HRUMPF...I didn't realize you could miss the Howling Wind garment grid....because if you find only 3 musicians you get a mission accomplish even though it's not complete.

oh well....

rotfl.

uh..no answer yet ?
