Worth leveling Rikku?

[Super Saiyajin Farid Bang]

I am on my first playthrough of FFX and I just got Rikku but she seems really underleveled and I was wondering if I heavily rely on her later in the game? Otherwise I wouldn't spend time getting her anywhere near the others

Depends on your point of view, some of the ways items can be mixed for her overdrives can be really useful, like Trio of 9999. she can also use the Al Bhed potion, which while limited in how many you can get, are useful 1000 hp and cureing poision and two other effects for whole party.

Her chunk of the grid is actually built around the fact that she joins late by having higher stat values and concentrations(she catches up), she is the natural thief, is one of the 3 swimming allies, and her Overdrive is a huge support boon(she has use).

Also, I find her to be cute and entertaining :)

Lvl every1 or you'll regret it later. -_-

IMO she's one of the three that I use endgame. Worth it definitely.

[pre-eminence]

There are sections where you are forced to use her, so you may want to use her and as others have said her overdrive is very good if you know what to mix.

If you're planning on maxing stats, absolutely. She is essential to maxing stats efficiently.

Thanks for the answers. I probably should have mentioned I only plan on playing the main story for now. Guess its time for some grinding ^^

Yeah for Arena maxing she's way easier to keep breaking Ironclad with than Auron imo.

The absolute 3 best to use once you actually get through the game are Tidus, Wakka and Rikku I reckon.
Yuna is the stupidly cheesy best to use throughout the actual game. Because she kills any actual challenge from boss battles stone dead if you overlevel her as you go through.
But at end game arena spamming time Tidus and Wakka wipe the floor with everything with upgraded celestials. And Rikku can full break the monster that you'll end up fighting the most times if you intend to 99,999 HP the sphere grid.

Agreed with all your points. Yuna is too easy during dificult bosses. Summons take them out, no skill needed.

For postgame, since all characters are essentially the same in terms of stats and skills, all that really matters are their overdrives. Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka have the best ones by far. It's that simple, really.

Rikku also has one of the easiest Celestial Weapons to unlock, and that weapon comes with a very handy Gillionaire ability that can help a lot during endgame crafting.

Also - she' s handy for when you need to play scenes in which only the characters who can fight underwater are used (Wakka, Tidus and Rikku). For example: you need to beat an underwater boss in order to gain access to a temple that helps Yuna get one of the secret aeons. (and if you're not tough enough by yourself to beat the boss her limit break can help you).
