Never played this game.... is there any missable item/event/person that I should keep in mind?

[WickedRequiem]

So... having never played this game.. I'd like to know if there are any missable item/event/person/etc etc that I should keep an eye out for.

I'd hate it if, a dozen or so hours after starting the game, I'm suddenly screwed out of something because I forgot to talk to some random person or pick up random junk.

[Queen HawlSera]

Yes. the Dark Aeons

Celestial weapons are also missable.

Are they obvious?
Or do I need to look up a guide for Dark Aeons and Celestial weapons? Because I'd rather not use a guide (or keep it to a minimum).

Many of them are, for Wakka's for example if you are not into Blitzball.

The main thing you have to worry about missing are some Al Bhed primers in Home and Bevelle.

If you want to do all the optional content, having access to Wantz's store is useful, so be sure to talk to him on Mt. Gagazet.

Other than that, you don't have to worry about missing things for achievements, bosses and whatnot. You can get the Celestial Weapons, fight the Dark Aeons, etc. anytime you want. Just make sure you thoroughly look through Home and Bevelle, and talk to Wantz on Mt. Gagazet, and you'll be fine.

The most soul-crushing missable content is celestial weaponry crests/sigils. There are a fair few that, if you miss, you will never be able to obtain (celestial is needed to break damage cap and are generally viewed as the best weapons for each character)

They arent "Needed" to break the damage cap as you can use Rikku's Customize to make that ability for a weapon.

But it would probably be easier just getting a Celestial for it.

the only things that you can miss are the al bhed primers and also getting some aeons, theres 4 18-22 that can be missed iirc for the al bhed primers, also make sure you do the macalania and bevelle cloister of trials 100% correctly using the destruction sphere to get the secret item as you will not be able to go back to these temples later in the game (im not sure about the macalania one but i know the bevelle one you can't), this is importatnt if you want all the aeons, just look up a guide to do those cloister of trials cause its very confusing

You can go back to every Temple after you get the airship

In Final Fantasy X, the only important items that are missable are the al bhed primers. The celestial weapons are not missable in that you can get them at any time once your far enough in the game, albeit you need to take out a few optional bosses if you pass them up the first time. Of course, there is a point of no return near the end as with all final fantasy games that will make pretty much every item not farmed for missable, but thankfully the game lets you know so you can go back.

As for Final Fantasy X-2, there are quite a few missable items, mostly spheres, that if I'm not mistaken you have to actually play more than once to get anyway (new game+).

[raynor]

you can't go to bevelle, because of events in game

[[☥] - CJ -]

Only thing you can miss in Bevelle is Al Bhed Primer Vol. XXII and thats only if you arent paying attention as its in the second area after you land there.

And if i remember correctly, the Destruction Sphere for Bevelle you cant miss.

Every where else you can revisit

Yes, you have to use it to get out anyway, and the chest is in your way.

Oh shoot, you also mentioned events. Well there are several events in both games that change depending on what you do, so I guess you could count those as missable. The main one most people miss involve winning your first match of blitzball in FFX. In FFX-2, its almost obnoxious with the amount of missable scenes. FFX-2 has several ending scenes based on your completion, which involve plenty of missable spheres. In fact, a key part of Paine's backstory is missable as well (how dumb).
