About this mod
One file with just an expert sphere gird savegame with all Al Bhed primers available, others with even a sphere grid overhaul or ridiculous start settings.
- Permissions and credits
The autosave uses the Expert Sphere Grid. To get this onto a standard sphere grid (I never play this one), simply start a new game with the standard sphere grid and use this savegame to load all Primers into your standard sphere grid game via Al Bhed Spheres.
I modified it with FFXED as you cannot transfer your PS2 savegames, this was the best solution for me to get back my Primers and being able to read everything an Al Bhed says.
Tidus still often pretends to not understand Al Bhed (especially when reading the Glyphs at start), but that already was the case in the PS2 version. ;)
If you are happy with the expert sphere grid in my savegame, you either do NOT have to use an Al Bhed Sphere to load your Primers as I did here:
They should work right out of the box.
You start directly on the bridge with Tidus running to your first blitzball match (shown in that intro video scene where Sin attacks Zanarkand).
Savegames with sphere grid enhancements + extras:
They are modified saves from my 2016 playthrough. I changed them back in 2018 as I had issues with my playthrough because of having key items unlocked.
None of these saves has now key items unlocked as they can cause issues. Unfortunately it seems some key items simply have to be unlocked properly.
They come again with an option for both sphere grids, so choose the grid you want to use.
Standard:
The Grid Overhaul has a open sphere grid, enhanced aeons and all override loading types
are learnt.
All Al Bhed Primers are available.
The sphere grid is empty, but every charakter will get 255 in all stat points,
a massive amount of HP and a bit over 999 MP, so there is no break necessary.
The Stupid Grid has everything. All chars are unlocked and everyone has the full grid.
99 of all items are available. Key Items are NOT! They can bug the game if they are
available too early.
Expert:
Grid Overhaul has an open sphere grid, aeons are enhanced and all override loading types
are learnt.
Al Bhed are available.
The grid is empty, but every charakter will get 255 in the KEY stats.
All charakters will have around 98.000 so only HP +5% is necessary on gear to get 99.999.
MP is a bit above 999 so there is no break necessary.
The stupid grid has everything unlocked as stated above.
Key Items are an exception again.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO BLITZBALL ON YOUR OWN IN BOTH SAVES, as you cannot cheat it properly since everyone in blitzball levels together with Tidus. And having everyone maxed out doesn't necessarily make it easier. :P So in that case you rather have to play on your own.
You start at the ship with Rikku, so this savegame skips the initial tutorial on Zanarkand!
