This is a ranking of the Tier Listing of All the playable characters within Final Fantasy X (excluding Seymour of course). Remember, that I obtained all of their ultimate weapons+completely deleting and re-adding the Sphere-Grid for everysingle character so that they could achieve the 255 Max Stats for All (The Sphere grid is the single reason why I never ever grind anymore in any rpg since).

Again, "things" could be subject to change, however it is quite unlikely, but the possibility is always there.

FINAL FANTASY X TIER LIST

Top Tier
Yuna with Yojimbo for Zanamoto
Wakka
Lulu

Upper Tier
Tidus

Middle Tier
Everyone Else


Yuna w/ Yojimbo For Zanamoto - This is the single most ridiculous move within the entire game. Pay Yojimbo enough and he'll do Zanamoto, and with that single move, regardless of how much HP/Defense you have, it doesn't matter, Zanamoto ='s 1-Hit Kill. Yes, even the mighty bosses from the Monster Arena will fall from this in 1 single blow.

Wakka - There is nothing much to be stated, because simply put, Attack Reels ='s Pawnage. 12-Hits each for 99,999 Damage simply pushes Wakka as Top Tier.

Lulu - Seriously, she's not that great in many parts of the game, but she's a complete powerhouse when at her full potential, if you are at least half-way decent in rotating the analog stick, you can get around 8+ hits with her Overdrive Fury, pushing her damage potential even above Tidus. However, not only that, but the reason I push her above Tidus is the mere fact that Ultima Fury ='s numerous 99,999 hits for an area affect as well.

Tidus - Tidus has Blitz Ace which is 8 consecutive hits for 99,999 damage, this obviously makes him Upper-Tier, he doesn't have as much firepower potential as Wakka or Lulu, nor does he have the ridiculous Zanamoto like Yuna, but he's still a very powerful character regardless.

Auron/Khimari/Rikku - These characters rank here simply because they do not have multi-hitting 99,999 attacks/Overdrives. They simply are not up to par with the other characters due to this reason. Final Fantasy X is like many of the other FF games like VI Advance, VII, VIII etc, which depend alot upon numerous damage within a succession against the most powerful of enemies, so these three characters lose out on the race unfortunately.




The Tier listing in here isn't as big, because the character differences weren't overall that vast, because you either had or you don't, and sadly three characters all fall within the same category. So in X, it wasn't too difficult to place them where they are. However I'm not surprised by where they are placed as well. Because when I first started FFX, and before I got everyone to their max potential, I could already tell who was going to be good and who wasn't.


My Second Important Notion on Yuna: Zanamoto although just slightly random, if not for that notion, Yuna would be undisputed, Elite Tier all ranked by herself, because Zanamoto has No Equal within Final Fantasy X.

However, another factor as well that I did not mention which involves The Magus Sisters can be even stronger than Wakka's Attack Reels, because Mindy's Passado Attack can dish out 15-Hits each for 99,999 making it surpass even Wakka's damage potential (Yes, I even maxed out ALL of the Summons).

Seriously, Yuna is arguably the most overpowered character in Final Fantasy X.

My Second Important Notion on Lulu: Lulu also has potential to even surpass Wakka in damage potential. Because really, since there is no limit to rotating to achieve the number of attacks for Fury, you can suprass more than 12+ Hits if your fast enough. However it's quite annoying to do that consistently, I usually can average around 10-12
hits for 99,999, but I have gone over 12+hits numerous times though, which would surpass even Wakka's Attack Reels.

If you can do 12+ Hits with Ultima Fury consistently, Lulu pushes above Wakka.


My Conclusion: So there you have it, my second FF character ranking, hope you all read it and enjoy it, again any comments, questions or anything, post it here, I will be more than happy to reply back.




 
As for you ranking Yuna the most powerful character I'm not surprised at all.

I am shocked that you ranked Wakka 2nd. 99,999 x 12. O_O I never thought Wakka could be that strong.

Lulu, I'm terrible at rotating the analog stick fast. Her black magic wasn't that bad.

Auron.....Ouch, this is going to annoy some Auron fans. Everyone looks at Auron as the uber tank guy.
 
Excellent tier ranking, I always use Yuna a ton, her summons make her 1337 and Holy in itself is awesome.

Hopefully this will put all those damn Auron and Khimari fans in their place too. Auron is a powerhouse yes, but as you mentioned Tidus has better limit breaks AND he's just plain faster. And I seriously hate these stupid fanboys who run around saying "ZOMG KHIMARI IS TEH BEST! ZOMG QUINA IS TEH BEST!" just to be different. No, blue magic hasn't been good since FFVII, they should deal with it.

Can't wait to see your next tier listing ^_^
 
Mehhh you know something. I always leave Wakka out of my party. Like you said, his limit breaks are very handy IF you work on his sphere grid. He's also handy when you have to form underwater parties. ^.^

But you don't form underwater parties, the game does it for you :monster: And Wakka's better limit breaks are won from blitzball, not the sphere grid...

Wakka always was the best with flying types though, and he seemed to get weapons with better abilities for free rather than having to use alchemy on everything.
 
Oh I meant as long as you keep him up to par stats wise...he's a good player. ^.^
I was never able to master blitzball. =[
 
Blitzball....was truly horrendous. I always knew Wakka's extra attack reels were 1337 but I just didn't want to bother with blitzball, it was confusing, slow and boring.

And TrueSephiros, you are a freaking god for being able to get 12+ rotations on Lulu's overdrive, I could never even get 8. Seriously, her overdrive design was just terrible.
 
I don't know how Zanamoto is a good reason to put Yuna in Top Tier, that attack was just ridiculous, I'd never use it, it's the gayest move IMO, plus I'd rather fight a boss 10 minutes then to have to earn money over and over...

Also Wakka's reels, you need a LOT of practice to get 12 hits every time you use it, so you can't really say it's a sure thing.

Same applies to Lulu, you can break you controller trying to get more hits, and again you can't always keep a constant number so it's the same as Wakka's. I think I got as much as 8 too.

The only sure thing is that Tidus will hit 8 times every time you use his overdrive.

But yeah, Wakka and Lulu do have strong Overdrive, at time making more hits then Tidus.
 
Yuna deserves top, her aeons (not just yojimbo) make her extremely powerful. And i'm not just sayin that because she's my faveorite

Earning money is ridiculously easy at the end of the game. By that time, you should be in the very, very high high millions. Especially if you maxed everyone and everything to 255 stats, you will a huge amount of money, so that shouldn't be an issue or a factor.

Also, face it, Zanamoto owns period, it's not a glitch, it's not some cheatcode, it's in the game, it's useable, it's ridiculous, it's what pushes Yuna to Top Tier. Also remember, Magus Sisters with Passado for 15-Hits for 99,999 Hits, both of these alone makes Yuna Top.

Attack Reels is exactly like Tifa's Limit Break from VII, it shouldn't be difficult to land 12-Hits consistantly at all, this isn't hard on any lvl. If anything Lulu's Overdrive is harder to achieve.

However these aren't glitches or anything, all it takes is some effort. Wakka's and Lulu's Overdrives are insanely powerful, so long as your consistent, and they do not require a over the top lvl of skill, it's not like your trying to learn how to do a mind boggling technical input like say in fighting games.
 
Lulu - Seriously, she's not that great in many parts of the game, but she's a complete powerhouse when at her full potential, if you are at least half-way decent in rotating the analog stick, you can get around 8+ hits with her Overdrive Fury, pushing her damage potential even above Tidus. However, not only that, but the reason I push her above Tidus is the mere fact that Ultima Fury ='s numerous 99,999 hits for an area affect as well.
I don't know if it's yet another case of regional difference, but in my version of the game (PAL), Lulu can't seem to deal 99,999 damage per blast using the first-rate Fury spells against the Arena Creations. I tried Ultima Fury on Nemesis before with the Onion Knight at max MP, and the figures were way off from 99,999 despite Nemesis's Magic Defence stat being 150 and Lulu's Magic + Luck stats at 255. This decline in damage from normal hits didn't seem to affect Wakka's and Tidus's overdrives that significantly, which goes to show that bosses in this game are more vulnerable to physical might than magical prowess.

Other than that, the ranking looks fine to me. And about your 12+ hit feat, did you manage that with Flare or Ultima? If it was the latter, then that's just bordering insane considering I could never get past 5 hits using Ultima.:blink:

Also Wakka's reels, you need a LOT of practice to get 12 hits every time you use it, so you can't really say it's a sure thing.
Not really. There's a simple trick to guarantee you all perfect in the slots, so much that you can perform it even whilst you're blindfolded. No mastering needed.
 
The Pal version I believe has been modified, in some cases, the Pal version is modified (I've seen this in many games I've played from not just the rpg genre, but other's as well), because my Lulu does achieve 99,999 damage at 255 max. Infact, everyone achieves 99,999 at max regardless of whom they are up against.

Yes, I can achieve Ultima Fury for 12+ Hits, although I do more consistently around 10-12 more, but yes, I do 12+ hits with that quite alot, reasons why I stated Lulu's potential for damage can potentially be higher than Wakka's.
 
yuna the top. yuna may have zanamto but still its so horriblly cheap and uneeded. as for wakka i think he should be on top. if you really did all that work on the grid you shouldnt even bother with yuna.

as for lulu i agree. i can get 16 turns!!!!!!


rikku at the bottom comeon have you played a nsg game. shes the entire thing lol


i think that wakka should be 1 cause atk reals is WAY to easy to get all 2's
then rikku second cause her overdrives rock
then lulu
then tidus
and of corse
the bottom
yuna (with 255 stats summons are a wast of time not to mention gil with zanmato)
auron (admit it fan boys he really sucks)
kihmari (blue magic has always sucked)


im not talking outa my ass either i have don the wholl 255 stat thing also

You need to explain this more, because none of these even contradict what I have stated, and did you not remember? Yuna just doesn't have Zanamoto, she also has Magus Sisters with Passado for 15-hits for 99,999 htis, which makes Zanamoto+Passado>>>>Attack Reels.

Rikku has nothing to offer that Yuna, Wakka, Lulu and Tidus can do but 50x better.
 
im not trying to say what you said was rong im just saying what I think. i can see why you like thoes summons but the way i see it as a waste ( i really hate using thoes summons)


i auctually agree with most of the list except the yuna and rikku part
 
Yes Rikku should be higher because some of her overdrives are amazing like super mighty g and final elixir. And she looks good.

Lulu's ultima fury can end up doing less than 99999 damage to high end bosses like dark aeons and penance.

I say Yuna, Wakka, tidus, rikku, lulu, auron, kimahri

Auron above kimahri because of his banishing blade attack.
 
tidus wasnt really that good wakka did enough damage for the party rikkus trio of 9999 was Cheap and rikku had hyper might g which is the best support the game has imo
 
Tidus was reliable in his blitz ace move and it really helped against dark aeons and penance.
 
hmmm i prefered slice and dice it was like what 2 or 3 hits less and had less of a wait time. then you could follow it up with quick hit and get more hits
 
But with slice and dice you don't know exactly who you will hit. With the penance battle it is vital to destroy the arms.
