I just recently started playing FFX on PS2 and was wondering how you beat Evrae on the airship? I read on one guide that you can use the "Reflect" spell on it to make "Haste" be cast back onto you. Which character casts Reflect? I assume I'll have to level up some more to take out this thing/
Any and all help would be appreciated thanks.
Hi TidusMight717, welcome to the Granaboard! This is Wiseman, the Granaboard maintainer and a moderator.
Please remember that you should mark all the spoilers for videogames, movies, series, or any kind of media where you mention something that happens later and people who start playing, watching, or reading it shouldn't know. Your message was bordering spoilers, but I don't consider it a spoiler. Just letting you know, that's all ^_^. Here's an example of spoiler marking:

Regarding Final Fantasy X:
You should have the Reflect spell for Yuna or Lulu by that battle, maybe you missed it in the sphere map. You can try going to the sphare map and try some of the special items you got, like those spheres that will let you warp to a different part, go back to somewhere you have been, or acquire a sphere of a certain kind (I think Reflect was white). However, these spheres are worth a million... try to use the least useful sphere (e.g. use an acquire specific spell sphere rather than a warp sphere if you have both).
But I think you may be able to defeat it without using Reflect, if you are strong enough.
Anyways, other users from this board are more skilled than me in FFX, so I guess they'll be of more help.

Have fun in the board!
I did this:
Used Tidus, Yuna, and Wakka
Tidus casted haste on all 3
Wakka just kept attacking
Yuna had black magic level 2 or 3, not sure, so just had her attack and heal
Welcome TidusMight717!
Here's what I did:
First of all, there are two locations that you can fight Evrae from: near and far. You start near, and to go far, have Tidus or Rikku use "Pull Back", a Trigger Command only they have. First, while you're up close, there are a few things to do.
While up close, have Auron use Power Break. This will halve the damage Evrae does with his regular attack and his Swooping Scythe. Allow Wakka to use Dark Attack or Dark Buster every once in a while, so that he misses almost always. Try to have Rikku Steal, then Use, a Water Gem for about 1,500 points of damage, or Steal and Mix (Overdrive) two for 2,000 points of damage. Whether or not you stay close or go far, you should try to have Tidus use Slow on Evrae (it misses very often, but you should get it in 3 to 5 tries). Now, Evrae's physical attacks, should they manage to hit you, will only do 600 points of damage (as opposed to 1,200 originally), and since he's slow, you'll be getting a lot of turns in.
You will notice that Cid is now in the turn chart. If you have used "Pull Back" before his turn, on his turn, he will move away from Evrae. The only way to hurt him now is with Wakka and Lulu (who you should Haste with Tidus), but his attacks are much less threatening.
While far away, Evrae will usually use Photon Spray, which is an attack composed of about 10 randomly-aimed hits that attack for around 100 points of damage. Most likely, each character will lose around 300 points of damage. Every two turns Evrae gets, have Rikku use an Al Bhed Potion, and you should be fine.
If you haven't told Cid to "Move In" (brings you back near to Evrae) and you are still far away from him, on Cid's turn, Cid will use "Guided Missiles". This will hit roughly 15 times for 200 points per missile, or for roughly 3,000 points damage. He will only do this three times, however, and then he will run out of missiles and just do nothing.
To hurt Evrae from afar, have Wakka either Attack (750 points) or use the Black Magic, Drain (Evrae loses about 500 HP and Wakka gains about 500 HP). Have Lulu use her second-level spells (Blizzara, Fira, Thundara, Watera) for about 500 points of damage. Lulu's Overdrive will hit Evrae, but Wakka's won't for some reason.
As I said, Evrae will most likely use Photon Spray on his turn. However, he may use an attack called Swooping Scythe, which hits everybody for 600 (300 if you used Power Break as I suggested). However, this also has the same effect as "Move In", as you are now near him again.

It may take awhile but it should work, good luck!
Yuna might have black magic by that point, like she did for me, and if hse did, it should be higher than Lulu's in damage, since she had gone through a buncha her own section.
Something I did is to cross Yuna and Lulu's paths later in the game, so Yuna would become a good offensive spellcaster, and Lulu would learn the ways of white magic.
Yuna ended being one of my better charcters. The random encounters of the last stages have a helluva HP, so I would get Yuna and Lulu in and do 5 or 6 rounds of Gravity for 9999 damage each. Then, to recover MP, I would use Kimahri's natural ability (I forgot its name) to steal 100-200 MP from magic casting foes.
I also sent Wakka to Auron's path so he would do more damage, Kimahri to Wakka's path to build an all-around character, and Rikku to Yuna's and then Tidus' path to be decent (though it was late; Rikku's path sucks and she's not bad at most things but not good at anything and sucks at strength). Next time I play FFX, the first thing I'll do is to spend a warp sphere on Rikku and get the hell out of her path.
Rikku's path has nice stuff like mug and bribe. I ended up giving Yuna steal and Tidus mug, so I'd have no reason to use Rikku [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I sent Yuna through hers, then through Lulu's (this was mid game), then through some of Rikku's to get her even faster.
I sent Auron through his, then Tidus', then Wakka's.
Tidus went through Auron's then Wakka's.
Wakka went through Auron's then Tidus' (notice a trend? [img]tongue.gif[/img] ))
Most of the time towards the end I used Tidus, Yuna, and Wakka. Since Wakka could hit the enemies that were fliers easier than Auron could.
Yeah but I have something against Wakka
Hot girl: "Ah... a Blitzball player... turns me on... Come on you big guy..."
Wakka: "No, the teachings!! >_<"

heh, first problem with any modern final fantasy is buying a movie and expecting a game [img]tongue.gif[/img] anyone gonna bother with x-2?
X-2 is awesome, my fave of the FFs.
Personally I'm not going to bother with X-2, I got tired of all the moving spheres around puzzles to unlock crap in the first X.
I agree with Wiseman though, Wakka should be shot.
X wasn't one of squares best work. My characters are so far along the sphere grid that they all have the same stuff and are almost completely equal, except that Wakka, Tidus, and Lulu don't have their ultimate weapon. I will bother with X-2 once the price drops, which will be in about 6-12 months unless I get it used, which I probably will. About Evrae, Tidus and Rikku were always on the field, I subbed between Yuna, Wakka, and Auron. I would be more help but it has been a yr since I was at that point in the game.
There's no sphere puzzles in X-2. Completely different gameplay from X.
Nice, how are the save points? Are they close or what? Can you skip cutscenes?
(I hated having a boss kill me then have to watch the same cut scene again and again.)
Close to eachother, 1 per end of dungeon and beginning, 1 in each town, etc.
You can skip scenes ^_^
<font size="2" face="Verdana,sans-serif">Theres just one thing wrong here....You dont have Yuna when you fight Evrae. Or else the strategy would just be to unload with aeons.Quote:

Two things to know about Evrae.
1. One of his attacks carries the stone status effect. If this ever happens, Pull back, and use Al Bhed Potion/Soft because he will try to break you next turn.
To counter, keep him blinded with Wakka, or have stone resistant armor.
2. Evrae's most powerful attack is the poison breath. If you are close by It will hit all chrs. for a ton of damage, and poison status.
To counter. I havent played the game in a while, but It will set up for it a couple turns before hand. If you pull back the ship in time It will miss completly.
Hes a tricky boss. When he casts Haste, counter with Slow, or Slowga, since Slowga has a better percentage of hitting. Keep him blind, and broken, and tee off on him with Auron, I belive Auron's shooting star over drive will hit Evrae for about 5,000-6,000 damage

Figured if I didn't post why she was in Bevelle it wouldn't be a spoiler >_<
In case of doubt, always mark spoilers (you can always specify whether they are minor or major; if you don't know whether they are minor or major spoilers consider them major). As for the marking itself, think likewise: if you don't know whether to use 3, 5, or 7 blank lines before and/or after, use 7 lines before and after. Extra spoiler marking will never hurt [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Fixed it [img]smile.gif[/img]
Speaking of Final Fantasy, how's 8 going? I'm gonna start playingg again soon (Stopped when I got X-2) I just hope I can get used tot he super slow battle system in 9 >_<
You can fix a slow battle system with frameskip... For example, using the great Pete's plugins, you can do this:
Pressing the Delete key (or any other you have it assigned to) during gameplay, you'll show the plugin's menu. Stay in the first box: it controls the framerate throttle. With Home and End (or any other keys you had configured), you can cycle between autodetect max FPS (which should run the game at normal speed), a custom speed you set in options ("FPS limit (10-200):"), and no FPS limit - display the game as quickly as your machine is able to emulate it. Using this mode it should run like hell, but if it's too fast/irregular, you can set FPS limit to something you want, for example 120 (double speed (2*60)) and use this mode instead.

I haven't done much in FF8 because of Chobits and real life. I'll try to play some more during Xmas.
The problem is that the characters respond slowly.
IE:
I tell Zidane to attack.
-
Vivi's turn comes up, I have him use fire.
-
-
Zidane attacks
-
-
Vivi casts fire
So I have a hard time timing my healing and such >_<
Even so, you can make battles fast-paced by setting the game speed to 150%/200%.
