PS2

In-game reset:
Press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start + Select during game play.

Skip intermission sequences:
Pause game play during an intermission sequence, then press Square to skip the current scene.

Changing dress/job:
During a battle, press L1 during your characters turn and a plate will appear. Choose your desired dress and press Action to activate it. For Yuna, once you get the Special Dress, you can use it during battle. During Yuna's turn, press L1 then R1 to the change to the Special Dress.

Hint: Story level 2: Easy money:
Clear off O'aka's debts by buying 100,000 gil worth of items from him on the airship. After you have cleared the debt, O'aka will start selling you items very cheap. Buy 99 of the items he sells, then fly to another location and sell them at over twice what you bought them for. For example, buy 99 High Potions from him for 50 gil each (total cost of 4950 gil). Then, fly to the Calm Lands and sell the High Potions for 125 gil each, for a total of 12375 gil. That is a quick profit of 7425 gil.

Hint: Story level 5: Defeating Shiva:
At the beginning of story level 5, talk to Rikku's brother. He will ask you five things. Choose the first option twice and you will go to a hole inside Shiva's temple. Keep going down and you will find Shiva. She is quite weak, but there is one thing she can do. She will use Heavenly Strike on you. When that happens, your character will be frozen and will not be able to move for about four turns. Try to level up a lot and use Haste because she is very fast. Have someone cast Shell and Protect so that the damage will be reduced. When that is done, keep hacking at her until she dies.

Hint: Story level 5: Defeating the Magus Sisters:
Focus all your attacks at the little one first, because she has the lowest HP. If you kill her first, then they will not be able to perform their Overdrive. Next, go after the tall one since she has a strong attack. Do not forget to cast Shell and protect on yourself. Just keep hitting them until they die.

To defeat them easily, level up and have a high HP. Then, focus your attacks on the fatter sister so they cannot use Delta Attack. As long as she is alive, they can use that attack. Then, attack the taller one. Heal if necessary. Finally, attack the smaller one. It may be difficult, but it is effective.

Hint: Story level 5: Defeating Anima:
All he does is attack and Pain. If you cannot defeat him by healing and hacking, level up and try again.

Hint: Using Special Dresspheres:
To use each character's special Dresspheres, you must activate all the Dresspheres on your Result Plate (all lines in the plate should be glowing in blue). If activated, the "R1 Special Dress Change" message will flash. To change, press R1 and Action. The only difference is that the Special Dressphere will control the other character, and the character using the special Dressphere will be the only one who will receive the experience.

Hint: Final Fantasy 10 weapon references:
Previous weapons from the Final Fantasy 10 can be seen used by the characters in certain Dresspheres:

Brotherhood (Tidus): Yuna uses it when set to Warrior Dressphere.
Rod (Yuna): Set Yuna to White Mage Dressphere.
Long Sword (Auron): Set Yuna to Samurai Dressphere.
Caladbolg (Tidus): Set Yuna to Dark Knight Dressphere.
Masamune (Auron): Set Rikku to Dark Knight Dressphere.
World Champion (Wakka): Used by Tidus when he uses the Terra Of Zanarkand ability at the final battle.

Hint: Good character strategy:
Use Yuna and Paine as Warriors and Rikku as a Thief. Also get Yuna to use a hidden dress called Healer, which works better than White Mage. As you get further in the game, there will be more new dresses. Do not use any of them. Although some of them may seem strong, they are all all pretty much useless. Get Paine something with Pierce and keep hacking at your enemies while Yuna heals when needed. Have Rikku steal from whoever you see. You will be surprised at what you can get from just stealing from a Ghost or some sort of a strong monster.
