Echoes

Try to make friends with echoes. Your points will rack up quick, if you know how to work the echoes just right.

Easier Way

will someone tell me how to play the sphere break and please translate it the easy way because its so complicated?

yrp_rock – Wed, 08/01/2007 – 10:35am

Re: easier way

you may want to read my post bellow
(seeing as im to lazy to type it out again)

Simply put: You have 4 entry coins (the bronze ones), and 8 surrounding coins (blue ones)
You select spheres so that when the numbers on the spheres are added together they created a multiple of the number displayed. But you have to select at least ONE entry coin in order to create a multiple.

EX) You need to make a multiple of Eight.
Entry coins:4,5,6,1
Surrounding coins: 4,3,2,1,1,3,4,3

The best thing do with those coins would be to select your entry coin (4), and your surrounding coin (4)
which add up to eight. Of course you could also use entry coin (6) and surrouding coins (4),(4),(3),(1)
which would add up to 16.. but you would use alot of coins, and the coins take alot of time to replace.

QUOTA: you gain points by making multiples of the presented number, the points you gain go into your quota

RULES: you have certain amount of turns to get a certain amount of quota,
You must select at least ONE entry coin,
You turns are timed, and the time restarts everytime you start a new turn

WIN / LOOSE:
you loose if = you run out of time during a turn, you run out of possible coins to create a multiple of a number,you dont meet the quota....

Fayth: It may look like him, but the real Shuyin died long ago. Even after a thousand years, his hate and misery linger on. His feelings grew so strong, they began to act on their own... Eventually, they became a shadow - a shade that wants only to vanish

How

How do you play sphere break anyway? I don't understand the instructions on the game. By the way I'm in chapt. 3

treaziben – Fri, 07/20/2007 – 4:39pm

Re: how

Gawsh i know. the intrustions are soo confusing.

Basically:

you get to choose you 4 entry spheres (the brown ones)
you have to select coins (without selecting the same coin twice) to create a multiple of a number.the number changes from turn to turn. EX] one turn you might get 3. so you have to select coins that will add up to a number that is the multiple of three (ie.3,6,9,12 ect.)

You gains points which go into your quota for using coins. To win you have to meet or go over the quota (the number of points you have to get after a certain amoutn of turns) before time runs out.

You loose, if you dont meet the quota, if you run out of time, if you run out of coins, or if you cannot select all the available coins and still have not created the multiple of the set number.

PM if you still need more on sphere break =)

A little strategy. I posted this lower down, too.

Ok, i have an exact strategy for you, i'm taking this in quote though.

-ahem-
"Upon winning your third match against any challengers positioned around Luca, you proceed directly to the championship round. The champ's core sphere has an extremely high quota of 50 coins, with only 45 seconds per round. The key to defeating the champ is to rack up a high "Echo Bonus." Complete a core using two or three coins, then continue to make core breaks using the same number of coins used in the previous turn to achieve an "Echo Bonus." This way, the number of coins in subsequent rounds is multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. For example, even if you core break with only 3 coins but you achieve an Echo Bonus for five consecutive turns, your total is multiplied to count as 6, 9, 12, and then 15 coins. After five rounds of 3 core breaks, you've already fulfilled the quota! The Champ's core has a strong tendancy to throw a 1, which means that any coin you pick during that turn will core break and end your Echo Bonus streak. If this occurs on your 14th or 15th round, start breaking the core with as many coins as possible."

Go to Luca and find Shinra there. You'll have to beat him in Sphere Break in order to get Lady Luck. Once you have beat him he'll give you the Dressphere.

Cap nip is found in the chest that appears in the bevelle cloisters (cloister 40) during ch.5 right after you defeat the black elemental.

Catnip is one of the best acesory in the game. It can do 9999 dmg or more. U can use it in any ds, but 4 the best dmg, u can use trigger happy lvl 3. But remember this, catnip only useful if ur hp is yellow.

Black Moomba – Thu, 04/12/2007 – 4:54am

the answer to shinra

it is so simple you can do it with your starting coins. i defeated him in chapter 5 with 100 quota and was very easy. all you need to do is to use the same number of coins each time. if you are really lucky you waont get a 1 as your core sphere. so if i were you just keep using 2 coins each time. it is also important that you use a border and entry coin as much as you can because everytime you pair them you get 1 point. this way think how easy it will be in chapter 3! also use this way to beat the guy with the "marvelous core sphere" one (the one with 300 quota) but by using greater numbers of coins (you have to be really good at math to do it but however you can get the best coins like ones with quota x5 ability.

rikku4ever – Mon, 03/19/2007 – 7:40pm

Shinra the meanie!!!

if you don't win sphere break, and shinra takes it he replies im just a kid an wont give it to yuna, rikku & paine is there a secret way you can get it from him??
ps how do you talk to shinra?? i cant even talk to him in lv 5 about it!!!

monkey – Fri, 03/16/2007 – 4:03am

Shinra

There is no secret way,you really need to beat Shinra,it like really,really hard but with good coins it's much easier.I couldn't beat him in ch3 because i didn't have the right coins but in ch5 you can dig out some really usefull coins in Bikanel.How is that, that you cant talk to him.He's in Luca in one of those locker rooms,in the same spot where he was in ch3.You just need to go near him and press x and that's all.

Yuna92 – Sat, 03/17/2007 – 12:13pm

WHERE??

thats all and good but where was he in chapter3? i looked in chap5 & couldnt find him!!!!

monkey – Fri, 03/30/2007 – 10:25pm

In Luca

In ch3 when you enter Luca you will hear about the Sphere Brake tournament,right and you'll have to beat 3 people to get into finals where you have to play against the Shinra,so you can't miss him there.And in ch5 he's in one of the locker rooms,near the stadium in Luca,I think in one wich have a save sphere in it.(If you played FFX remember when in Luca you spoke with Al bhed who wanted to kidnap Yuna there)

P.S.

I have gotten the Lady Luck Dressphere and this is a surefire way to win!! I did a little strategy of my own, -ahem- When you are about to play your last opponent, save your game, after you win the normal person and if you lose to Shnra, quit the game, and reload from your saved file! If you don't beat him now... He'll have an even higher quota of -gulp- 100 coins. o.O
Unfortunately, i didn't win, and i found out the 100 quota sphere. So i sarted the game over on my new game plus and decided to try my own strategy and the strategy from the guide!! I won. ^.^ And btw, this dressphere is best on Yuna! (in my opinion... >_>)

final_fantasy_l... – Sat, 12/16/2006 – 10:35pm

LADY LUCK

As the name implies, you need luck to gain this dressphere along with a bit of brains*. To recieve this dressphere, I think you have to visit Luca in either Chapter 2 or 3**. In the center square you'll hear about the contest and reward. Rikku becomes overjoyed and says that's she'll need to practice. You will most likely not know how or even what Sphere Break is if this is your first game. Not to worry, in the stadium you can go to the locker areas and speak to one of the shorties in purple costumes and beaks and learn all you need to know about the game***. After you defeat three people-or more-you can go against the last contestant who is none other than the wiz kid himself: Shinra. Of course, Rikku would feel very bad for loosing, but you get to kick the smarts right out of the little guy. The game will be hard, nigh unbeatable unless you use the Echo Bonuses to your full ability with Echoes of 3 and 4 so you won't run out of coins****. If you defeat Shinra, the dressphere will be handed over to you and you'll rejoice while Shinra babbles over his loss. If not, he gets the dressphere and will refuse to give it to you with the excuses of "I'm just a kid" and "I won it, it's mine." Later on you can win the dressphere, but I suggest you do it the first time around since he raises his stakes to about a 100 coin quota. But if you do win it, enjoy your lucky garment.

*Brains is useful since this game consists of mainly math and quick thinking. But it's not 10th grade algebra, it's simple addition.
**I am leaning towards Chapter 3. Either way, visit Luca in both chapters.
***You either learn it in the blue Blitzball stadium or right away when you get plunged into the contest. Like I noted earlier, the informers are short boys with strange purple clothes, hats, and beaks. Try to challenge some of the harder people so you can get that stress filled experience for the last battle.
****Echo Bonuses are, as I'm sure you have read, the combos of coins used to break the sphere--hence the name--and useing the same number of coins two or more times in a row. Only using 3 or 4 coins at a time should not spend all your coins right away like I had done so many times.

Sorry to decieve you all, but I have never actually gained the LADY LUCK dressphere, but I gave the same advice to my firend and it work; then she bragged about it to the point where I wanted to slap her. I hope my tips are helpful and don't stress when trying to beat Shinra. Simply save before you go against him and restart at every loss. Remember, stress makes you panic and panic leads to irrational thought.
