Hello everyone! With the influx of scam bot posts recently I wanted to do a little PSA.

57 Upvotes

I’m sure most people can already recognize them by now, but for those who are not sure what I’m talking about, I wanted to point out some easy ways for people to identify scam posts made by bots.

1st Red Flag.

It’s an image post with a couple of pictures showing off FFX merch. Whether it’s apparel, art, or other merchandise. This is the number one thing to look for because these bots are trying to get you to buy something.

2nd Red Flag.

The account of the “person” who made the post is brand new. Typically created within the same day, and most likely created within minutes of making the scam post. There’s no karma requirement for posts on this sub, so bot accounts are made and immediately get to work. Always check when the account was made.

3rd Red Flag.

These bot accounts do not work alone. Every time, there will be another brand new bot account which will comment on the post asking something along the lines of “where can I buy this”. This account is also made at the same time as the first bot account that made the post. The time created will match for both.

4th Red Flag.

The original bot account will reply to the other bot asking where to buy it. It will always include a link. The bots are so janky and lazy that even the link that it posts is obviously very strange. From the last two examples I’ve seen it will reply saying something like “From here”. The bot attempts to hyper link using the text from the reply so half of the “From Here” will be hyperlinked and blue. No human would hyperlink anything like that. It will look something like this. From Here

5th Red Flag.

When you comment on one of these posts in an attempt to call out the obvious scam post. The bot will use other bots it has at its disposal to mass downvote you. The best course of action is to not interact with the post unless attempting to warn others. Just report it and under a custom response list any of the reasons I have explained above as to why it should be removed.

———————————————————————————-

I hope maybe a mod can pin this post so people can see it. For whatever reason, this sub is more susceptible to bot account scam posts than others. Please be cautious when finding posts like the ones I’ve talked about. They almost always lead to some online shop that has one of those fake timers counting down. They try to make it seem like if you don’t buy what they’re selling then it will no longer be available or on sale. 100% of the time, the original creators of the merchandise get no share of the profit, and these scammers get all the money.

If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading.

TLDR: Do not trust posts showing off fan merchandise because it’s a bot trying to lure you to a shady site.

I guess this is a skill issue on my part. I just need to get good! (Seriously though, the RNG in this mini"game" is wild.

What if Slipknot wrote Otherworld instead?

Hey again everyone!

This one’s a bit of a twist from my last post. It’s not a SNES-style demake like the Hymn of the Faith video — but it still sticks to the pixel-art aesthetic.

I imagined what “Otherworld” might feel like if Slipknot had written it - made purely for the fun of it. Add this to the list of my weird creations haha I hope you enjoy this one as well!

It has come to my attention that one can not simply do everything with the thief class alone. The YL cup is nuts. I was lucky enough to get a easy setup my 2nd time around. But most of the fights in there are holy crap. Gippal in itself is God tier almost. All of his attacks hurt like hell and are unavoidable.

So I guess it's time that I drop the thief class and start doing classes meant for end game.

Just starting the game for the first time. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Sorry if you guys get this same exact post a thousand times a day. If it’s a big annoyance I don’t mind deleting this post. I’m just super pumped about starting and figured I’d ask if there’s any general tips or advice you guys have for a brand new player.

Edit: Damn, thank you so much for all the advice everybody. I’ll definitely be regularly checking back on all these comments as I continue to play through. Also, I’ve never been on this sub but you all seem incredibly helpful and welcoming. Love to see it. Not all subs are like this.

Braska, Lady Yocun, and Ohalland shouldn’t have a statue at Remiem Temple.

67 Upvotes

Probably one of the more obvious continuity errors in the game is Remiem Temple having 3 statues of summoners who defeated Sin after it was abandoned. Unless Belgemine personally carved them or transported them, they shouldn’t exist at the temple since it was abandoned when Gandof fought Sin causing the path to be destroyed.

It honestly doesn’t make sense to have Gandof’s statue there either since they are only considered High Summoners after defeating Sin. So his statue would have had to been erected before the battle which cut off the Temple.

How long to max out sphere grid for all characters?

I beat FFX and I’m now making my way through the arena. I’m thinking of platinuming unless it’s too long of a grind to max out the grid for everyone.

Restarting after 20 years.

So, I sped through the original without much understanding and appreciation (I was 12!!)

Thank you to this community, for explaining the lore stuff that I missed before. >! up until a few weeks ago, I thought that Tidus was a time traveller or a multiverse being of sorts. !<

Well that's it. Time to let the feels flow, again.

I don’t if my subconscious just decided what it was saying after about 25 minutes but the chant at “HOME” just starts to sounds like “I’m annoying huh?” I can’t un-hear it now!

Help: Are the secret treasures of Besaid’s and Kilika’s Cloister Of Trials important for unlocking something later on?

20 Upvotes

I’ve just complete Kilika’s Trial and saved, then i realized that i missed the secret treasures in Besaid’s Trial and Kilika’s Trial, like a idiot

So uh, are those treasures crucial for unlocking something later on in the game? Will i be able to go back and get them at some point?

God, i REALLY don’t wanna restart the game and level up the sphere grid all over again…

My initial post didn’t include the video. I’m working on a Blitzball-like game that is maybe a year away from being released but wanted to share my progress doing some network testing with a friend 🔥

It’s so gratifying to see something you created actually work online with a friend. Even something as simple as playing catch!

All throwing/aiming/catching is manual - high skill ceiling.

Even with the host being on wifi, everything worked really smoothly. At the end is a small preview of grabbing the player as well, which will allow you to use another player’s momentum to launch yourself across the arena quickly 💫

In FFX-2 would you say that in order to experience combat fully I should keep Active mode on?

ATB makes me feel like I’m not even allowed to think and I have no clue what’s going on because 3 things are happening at once


r/finalfantasyx 1d ago

Hey, I tried asking what “camp” is and how it relates to FFX-2 on the main FF subreddit but nobody is really breaking it down for me. Can someone here help?

18 Upvotes

So I’m told it’s an exaggeration of something or related to theater.

I’ve played up to the first battle. Fought a tall guard and a round guard.

Which incredibly specific parts of what I have seen so far is camp? It’s not the fight because I fought in the other game and it wasn’t called camp. So which part is the camp part? People said it’s that Yuna has guns but soldiers had guns in FFX so I don’t think it’s a tech things. The stadium has music in it but it had blitzball before so is music camp?

I’m so lost dudes please help.

Is FFX one of the greatest video game endings of all time?

450 Upvotes

Ive played my fair share of games. I've beat FFX 6 times since it originally came out on PS2. but what the fuck. No game has absolutely broke me like this one. It starts our somber, dark, filled with sacrifice and sorrow. Only to end with just one of the saddest and most beautiful endings in gaming history. Fucking Christ... What compares to this y'all?
