FFX primers

[Harald Hammerstorm]

Hello there,

I'm somewhat advanced in the game and want to know if I can go back to retrieve the books I missed. Please, don't tell me I have to play it over again.

[Si Non Si Oui]

Hello,
Are u talking about Al Bhed manuals ? Sorry but, this is a missable item ...
If u have a save where you missed it U could just take it, save, and transfer it on your main save.
What is the book you missed ? for example the one in temple at the beginning cannot be re-take for sure.

Some of the Primers are missable for that playthrough, most are not. IIRC there are 2 or 3 total that are missable, and they show up (I think) in Home and IIRC Bevelle. (or however it is spelt)

[Hinnyuu]

Correct, Primers are among the only permanently missable items in the game.

The ones at the Al Bhed Home and the one in Bevelle Temple can be missed permanently. There is no way to get them once you are past those areas. The one on the Al Bhed salvage ship at the very start is technically also missable, but only because it will appear at the Home if you don't pick it up on the ship (and after that, will be missed if you don't collect it there).

The only way to get them is to replay those areas again. You can transfer the Al Bhed Primer data between save games using the Al Bhed Spheres in various locations.

In FFX-2, the Primers are NOT missable - any that you do not collect during the various story events that can award them will later show up as diggable treasures in Bikanel.

its best to have backup saves before home and if you miss them , collect them and use the primer sphere on your main file

also i always thought primer 1 , 3 and 5 are in the desert not in the home

(if missed, re-obtainable in Sanubia Desert, northeastern area of the Oasis)

Welp, guess I'll do this once I finish X-2.Thank you all for the replies.
I think I'll go kms...

Hi,
this is an autosave at the very start of the game but with all Al Bhed Primer's available:

I've chosen the expert sphere grid though.

I love you.

I believe the only primers you can permanently miss are the ones within the Al-Bhed's Home. All others if you missed them in their original locations will show up later, or you can go back and get them.

Just a few notes about my savegame:

If you start the game from this savegame, don't forget to load the savegame in an Al Bhed sphere (directly after you get absorbed by Sin and wake up at the ruins of temple Baaj).
At the left of the first area there is a stairway up to an Al Bhed sphere.
Even if you load the Al Bhed Primers from my autosave and achieve the respective ingame achievement of understanding Al Bhed, Tidus still will tell that he cannot read the symbol at the very same map on the right.
Even if the subtitles cleary tell what it is about.

Guess that can be considered as minor bug and is fair enough.

Yet, after implementing the Al Bhed Primer's by using the sphere anything should appear legit.



And after all...
You simply can use my savegame to move the Primers to yours by loading it up from your savegame using an Al Bhed sphere.
