Hello and welcome back to the fifth episode of this Final Fantasy X HD Remaster playthrough. So, weβre loading in on the Salvage Ship and weβre just gonna look around. Looks like thereβs an item there. What is it? Obtained Al Bhed Primer Volume One. The secrets of the Al Bhed language are revealed. All letter that are βYβ become βAβ. Tidus has reached the rank of Al Bhed Hujela. As you can see there, all the pink βAβ are translated to English. But, thereβs definitely not enough letters deciphered to understand whatβs being said yet. Obtained three Potionβs. He sounds a bit mad frustrated. Letβs see what this women has to say. Using the Sphere Grid.
The Sphere Grid is used to develop your characters by activating nodes with spheres. Letβs see how this is done. Select Sphere Grid from the main menu. Okay so, hereβs the tutorial of the Sphere Grid. Iβm not gonna read it all out. I might point out some key points, thatβs about it. Use the directional pad to move the cursor. So, all the different spots on this landscape is called nodes. The number of steps a character can move is equivalent to his or her Sphere Level (S. Lv). You have to battle to get Ability Points (AP) and get additional Sphere Levels. So, we need to be careful not to skip any nodes where we have to back track, unless Itβs intentional.
I think initially, Itβs all pretty well straight forward on the Standard Sphere Grid. So, we donβt have to stress about that just yet. So obviously, Itβs important for us to be collecting Power Sphereβs, Mana Sphereβs, Speed Sphereβs and Ability Sphereβs to activate these nodes. As an example, the Ability Sphere just activated that Ability Node. And it taught Tidus the Ability β Cheer. But thatβs a demonstration, we havenβt actually unlocked that yet. Thatβll be our first proper node we will unlock when the time comes. All the βL.1β to four I think it is. We cannot pass until we can unlock them with a key. So, we canβt go down. We have to go up from here. And thereβs a glance of our characters menu from the Sphere Grid.
We can zoom the map out, which becomes a little daunting when you can see the true landscape of it. When you move it around thereβs a lot to unlock, if you want to complete it all. And, Iβve done it before. Alright so, thereβs the Sphere Grid Tutorial and letβs proceed. Salvage the Big Prize hey, I wonder what that might be. Alright so, letβs dive down to the depths of the ocean. Follow this anchor chain and weβve encountered a battle. Three Piranha. Got a Power Sphere and a Mana Sphere, cool. There what some of the things that we need for the Sphere Grid to unlock the nodes. Alright, it looks like weβre going to an Underwater Ruin. Alright so, hereβs a Sphere. A βSave Sphereβ. I hope you enjoyed this episode and Iβll see you on the next!
