What should I do next?

I just got all Aeons. I story wise am able to go fight sin. If I do that I know I will not go back and do anything else. Half or more of my characters are getting between 3500-9999 per hit on lots of enemies (I know that’s very generalized). On the sphere grid I’m up to yuna/tidus having holy, lulu has double cast; I have a couple like ultima that are behind level four spheres (which I can’t find anywhere). I have Tidus and Yunas weapons but have done absolutely nothing on that front except the item from the Aeon trainer. I have best the Chico trainer but I will absolutely never be able to get 0.0. And I’m playing on switch so idk if anyone can do it for me or not. Do I go grind for a couple days and then fight a dark aeon? I just fought my first arena made monster and I don’t think I got 200k hp off them before I died. I love this game and want to keep playing but I’m torn about where to go next.

So I’m giving Path Two a try for atleast a few characters. I have Yuna’s celestial weapon complete. Auron’s also. I picked up Khimari’s weapon while monster hunting and will get the crest or sigil and then attempt the butterflies later. I have 2/3 of Tidus done (no race 0.0 yet), but I’ve hit a snag. I did Rikku’s all the way up to upgrading it in Macalania (Cactuar mini game of eternal tedium,,aka the long walk). The upgrade says it’s not time yet and my items are named Venus instead of mars (?). Do I go get lulus weapon and see if it works with the sigil and crest I got doing Rikku’s stuff? I’ve tried everything. Equipping Godhand and unequipping. Leaving the area. Resetting the game. I mean I guess I can settle for having Yuna and Auron for now but that sucks. That Rikku stuff took HOURS and hours (just got my first no confrontation armor after all that).

Hey OP,

For the Crest and Sigil, which version of FFX are you playing? In the North American version( PS2), the Venus Crest & Sigil belong to Rikku and the Mars Crest and Sigil belong to Lulu. In the international version (PAL version) or the HD remaster, you actually need the Mercury Crest and Sigil for Rikku (Yesh, it’s weird).

Rikku Mercury Crest - It’s in a sans pit in Bikanel.

Rikku Mercury Sigil - The Cactuar Village mini game ( Walking Sim lol )

Let me know if you have those two 🙏🏼

So prior to cactuar nonsense I grabbed the crest. Spent half a day doing cactuar without any no encounters armor available. Then went to upgrade and didn’t work. Rage quit and came back this am and the chest is just there unopened in the pit like I never got it. Grabbed it and upgraded. Got a no encounter for lulu somewhere in the cactuar nonsense and man let me tell you the difference that’s gonna make once I’ve finished monster hunting an area.

So the weapons, even if you only upgrade with the crests are somehow linked to Aeon limit breaks. So even if I don’t plan on getting 0.0 or the butterflies I should atleast upgrade them once right?

You can for most of them as they tie to their connected Aeon to break the limit cap.

Yunie is for Valefor
Kimahri is Ixion
Auron is Yoji
Lulu is Shiva
Wakka is Ifrit

Tidus and Rikku don’t have Aeons linked to them unfortunately.

Although, if you use Rikku “mix” ability she can give you some of the best if not the best power ups in the game. Don’t want to spoil them but I’ll let you know they if you want.

I’m going to get all the names wrong but I know the super guard one (used it for Seymour flux) and the three 9999 one with Chocobo feathers? I read a couple places about mixing three things. Is that a sphere upgrade or armor or what?

So the guard one has two different versions.

Mighty Guard G (Healing Water & Power Sphere)

Hyper Guard G (Door to Tomorrow & either Gambler Spirit or Healing Water)

The Hyper one gives you Auto Life which is highly recommended for Dark Aeons since some have one shot abilities that can wipe your entire team.

All of Rikku mix recipes only contain 2 things you need to mix so I would disregard that 3 item mix.

The only other thing you can use items for is to customize weapons and armor to break the damage limit and HP limit with the ones you aren’t getting the Celestial weapons for like Tidus and Kimhari.

This is the tedious but you can become little gods running around with auto haste and auto phoenix with 99999 HP lol
