Hello and welcome back to the nineteenth episode of this Final Fantasy X HD Remaster playthrough. So, here we are in Luca. Hmm, Maester Seymour Guado and those glistening purple eyes. So, with the Blitzball Tutorial. I’m not gonna go through each of them. It’s gonna take way too long! And, I have a vague memory of how to play Blitzball. So, I’ll pick it up again as I go. A-hem, excuse me. Alright so, let’s go investigate and explore Luca to whatever capacity that may may be. Okay, can we go up here? We’ll also talk to NPC’s. We’ll search for any items and significant items. That’s one tall Ronso! Awe, there’s a chest just there. Obtained two Hi-Potion. To go left or to go right, that is the question.
Can’t see anything in this dock. Maybe we’ll go back that way, let’s go down here. Sorry to interrupt. Sorry, not sorry. Ah, is that the way we came from? Let’s go this way. Let’s take a look at this Sphere Theatre. Not gonna check that tutorial computer thing. Oh, what’s that I see there? Obtained Al Bhed Primer Vol. VII. The secrets of the Al Bhed language are revealed! ‘K’ in Al Bhed is now ‘G’ in English. So, at some point, we’ll be back down this way to buy things from this Sphere Theatre, Movie Sphere’s et cetera. But for now, we haven’t got the Gil. Let’s head back this way. Um, we’ll go this way. Have they changed spots? Weren’t they filming over here? Let’s! Is Sir Auron this way?
Awe, their’s a chest. Obtained one thousand Gil. I don’t think we can go this way yet. Kimahri Ronso, ha ha. Okay, we’re gonna miss the first game of Blitzball. Kimahri has a debt to settle with those Ronso’s. Was this our Locker Room area? I think it was. Alright, we’ll go this way. Got any weapons there O’aka? So, I’m gonna probably buy this Thunder Spear and I’ll equipped it. Looks like there’s two chests here. Obtained Tidal Spear. Luca Dock Number One! Obtained six-hundred Gil in that chest. Or was that number two dock? Sorry. Reason why we got that thunder like spear is for these enemies. Cause they’re susceptible to electricity, Machina. It looks like there defense is still pretty good. C’mon, give us a Ability spear Sphere, sorry.
Another chest, what’s in there? Two Phoenix Down. What are these things called? They are just Worker! I might quickly race back this way cause I think I may have forgotten something. If It’ll let me. I’m sure we went down here, but I’m gonna double check down here now that the games are going. Oh there we are, look. Found a Al Bhed Primer Volume Six. All ‘V’ Letters in Al Bhed is now translated to the letter ‘F’ in English. Tidus has achieved the rank of Al Bhed Typpman. That’s pretty good. We got two Al Bhed Primers in the one episode. Back to where we left off. Some more Worker’s. So, their’s a ‘Traveller’s Save Sphere‘. I hope you enjoyed this episode and I’ll see you on the next!
