HELP!!! Game is going over my head.

I beat down FFVII and FFVIII and got absolutely everything, but FFX leaves me wondering. I am at that Sanctuary Keeper and my characters all suck. They have like 3000 hp and for the past month Ive been reading stradegies to beat certain boses I am at that involve...Haste...Slow etc and I have No Idea when my lazy characters are going to reach those spells on that annoying grid....

On top of all of that I am reading about..Dark Matter..Celestial weapons....Dark Aeons...overdrives that do 999999 damage and something called a yamato (or something like that). I hear about a bribe ability and Rikku mixes that cause 20000 damage that consist of items I have never heard of I heard about something known as pestalance which involes all stats to be at 255 to beat???255????Arg and it has like 4 kabilliontrillion HP..I also hear that thses things may or may not be in my game??? I am soooo confused....AND I AM ALMOST FINISHED THE GAME!!!!!!.. what is seriously going on? Do I get a magic lightning bolt up by behind or something after I beat sin that makes me invinsible? Or do I have to designate a decade of my life to this cause????

Can anybody clue me into when these awsome rewards start to kick in...or what magical rock (or something) to look out for that might be liying on a path that turns me to god???wouldnt want to miss it.

CHEERS

CHEERS
There. Edited your post to make some semblance of sense.

First of all, if you don't have the International or PAL version, you're out of luck on Penance and the Dark Aeons. The celestial weapons are basically your characters' ultimate weapons, and you can't get those until you get the airship. Dark Matter is not required for almost anything. I don't think a single overdrive could possibly deal quintuple 9's without maxed stats and BDL, and Zanmato costs more gil than it's worth. Bribe is the one of the last abilities on Rikku's path on the grid, and Mixing two Underdog's Secrets gives you a Mix that deals precisely 19998 damage. Getting an Underdog's Secret? You get 99 by talking to Rin on the airship after completely learning Al Bhed and becoming an Al Bhed Sycdan.

Now, if you don't have Haste and you're up to the Sanctuary Keeper, you're seriously underpowered. I usually have at least Slow by Evrae (I know because my strategy involves using it) so you should have Hastega by now. Stop hiding behind your aeons and fight once in a while! Try levelling a bit if you're really that weak by now.

Re: HELP!!! Game is going over my head.

Hmm,i was always wandering around in FFnet since the day of FFVII,but reading this post made me sign up and write.Your HP aint bad,but for the rest it sounds seriously underpowered.Try rotating characters in a fight,even for one move;This way they will all get some AP at the end of the fight.Stay in an area and get some lvls.Well,if you want all 255's (except luck..150 is ok) you will require about 145 hours of gameplay.Well that's what's on my counter anyway.A good start would be starting to collect all monsters in the game.10 of each.Yup Yup.Try reading a good guide; you can see some tricks for fast ap gathering and such.

Btw,would it be possible to have 3000 hp and not have haste?
P.S: Try using rikku's All 9999 mix to get you past some bosses.Using this mix all your actions do 9999 points whether attack,healing,anything.These are all possible combos.
See if you can use any to get you as far as getting the airship.The rest is up to you.I recommend going back to the calm lands,getting capture weapons and starting to capture all monsters in the game,10 of each.Good huntin' !

...Unless Tidus started with 3000 HP, then no. Tidus's slots up to Haste (including his beginning blank slot) are as follows:

Blank, blank, Cheer, Def+1, Str+1, Flee, Agl+1, Acc+1, blank, MP+20, Str+1, Haste.

His entire path up to Hastega only has HP+1800, so unless his Tidus started with 1200 HP he should have Hastega by now too...

Re: HELP!!! Game is going over my head.

Weird.I would blame it on the shortage of ability spheres in the beginning of the game.I always had a problem with that,so i always got the skill which makes ability spheres drop

Re: HELP!!! Game is going over my head.

The hands-down easiest way to level up in X is to get a weapon W/overdrive = AP ability on it, then fight either cactuars or the Cactuar King to get an unbelievable amount of AP. (I think I go up about 50 spere levels when I fight that fiend.)

Re: HELP!!! Game is going over my head.

I usually spend between half an hour to an hour in every new location, fighting the enemies in the area to gain a few stats and abilities. Do that and you should progress through the game with no probs.

Re: HELP!!! Game is going over my head.

geez, calm down, my first playthrough I had about 5k HP (did not have more anyway)on the last boss, and found him really hard at that time, think I wiped against him like 2 times. Not every1 likes to just fight all the time. I just play through the game in a ok time. And it is possible to have 3k hp there, I dount I had more than 4k
