RENDS AND ENEMIES

The daughteroflord Braska,Yuna is the high sum-
moner who defeated Sin and brought about the
Eternal Calm. She lived most of her life by a strict
code of ethics directed by the teachings of Yevon.
She alwaysbelievedthat shewould one day sacrifice
herself to defeat Sin, but through the love and faith
of her guardian she rea.lizedthat it was possibleto
deliver to the people ofSpira, an evengreatergift by
defeating'Sin forever. After this great victory, Yuna is
now attempting to explore and enjoy the life she
thought she would have to forsake.A.long with her
cousin Rikku and the Gullwings-a group of -A1
Bhed spherehunters-she scoursSpira in searchof
valuablespherescontaining recordsof the long for-
gotten history before Sin. While her main desiresare
to explorethe wodd, meet new people,and have fun,

Rikl<u is Yuna's cousin and an Al Bhed. The Al
Bhed are a race of people in Spira who speak a
different language,which can be deciphered by
obtaining the Al Bhed Primers.A1 Bhed enjoy tin
kering with machines,or "machina,"and they have
startedan excavationin Bikanel Desert to unearth
ancient machina to study in hopes of improving
their cufient use and one day make their own. The
Gullwings' airship,the Celsius,is a unique pieceof
machina. Rikku and her brother, appropriately
named "Brothcr," have tumed the machina into a
first-classflying machine.Rikku was one ofYunat
guardiansin the fight againstSin and aided her in
bringing about the Eternal Calm. Now that Yuna
has left her village in searchof fun and adventure,
Rikku is dedicated to helping her cousin find
excitement,evenat the risk ofgetting into trouble!

tough and loves a good fight, but she is also reason-
able enough to smel1 trouble a mile awav. Paine

While most enemieswill drop items and small amounts ofgil ter each banle, rThicfcan steal additional items, gil, HP, and MP from ene-
mies during combat. Whilc aThiefis neither strong nor sturdy like some ofthe qpical "attacker"types,the Thiefs high Agility and Lvasron
makesit easierto sidestepmany physicalattacks.By stealingirems and using the "PiJferGil" ability during everybattle, a Thiefhelps the parry
to amassan overwhelning supply ofmcdicines, bombs, consumablesand accessories, aswell m plentv ofgil. Stcrling is one of rhe best meth
ods to gain powertul equipment early in the game.The "First Strike" abilit_vofa Thief enablesher to get thc first turn in combat.

During combat, spend the lirst fcw turns steding items and gil from each enemy on the battlefield. lfcncmies are reluctant to give uf irems
and your Thief continuously comcs up empry-handed,use the " Sticlq Fingers" ability to pry the itens loose.In particulrr, bossesusually hold
powertul accessoriesthat can only be gained by stealing,so keep a Thief in the partt rt al1times. Hclp out your f-ellowparq'members by halt

The Gun Mage serves a rariety of purposes on the batdefreld, which adds up to one deadly combination. A Gun Mage can expose the weaknessesand current
status ailments or benefits of r single enemy or ally with the "Scan' ability. Gun Mages leam a variety of"Fiend Hunter" skills that enable them to deal greater
damage to certain gpes ofenemies more easily. When dealing with Machina, Mechs, Hdms, and Drakes in the early stages of the game, a Gun Mage who has
learned the applicable skills will make qui& work of these fights. Gun Mages also have the unique ability to learn the special attacls of enemies and use them
in battle. When an enemy uses a special ability to attack a Gun Mage durirg combat, there is a chance that an active Gun Mage will learn the enemy's skill
ight on the spot. The only problem is whether or not fte Gun Mage will suwive the attack afterv/ard!

Io battle. use "Scan' on unknown enemiesto rweal demental or status*reaknesses.For the rest of the batde, attack or perform "Fiend Huntet' abilities, if the qpes of
fieods that the Gun Mage can atrect are presenc Always bring a Gun Mage ifyou want to leam new "B1ueBulleC abilities.

 WARRIOR

-,r-Jar'r

The Warrior, Painei initial dressphere, is the fust of many strong "attacker" dresspheresin the game. The main function of a Warrior is to hit enedes hard and
bring doran large amounts of enemy HP with eaci strike. A Warior benefits fiom a lot ofHq but lacls a rcspectrble amount of MP A Waffior's "Swordplay''
skills are all low MP-cost abilities that fuse magic with metal ilr a powerful attack designed to exploit enemy wea&nesses.A Watrior can also make many ene-
mies easier to defeat by lowering their attacking power, defense, and spell casting abilities. Additionally a Warrior can also delay the action of an enemy with
'Delay
Attack' and "Delay Buster.'

During battles, if ar enemy is taking less than the normsl amount of damag€ &om a Warrior's attrck, use "Swordplay'' abilities to ex?loit elemental we*nesses
or inflict status ailrnents on it. Without restorative abilities, a Warior must depend on others to regain lost HP

Item

An Alchenist has the ability to help the parry make the most
oftheir items.The "Mix" abilitvenablesan Alchemist to com-
bine any trvo itcms For grelter effect. For example,a Potion
and a Hi Potion can be cornbined to achievc the effect of l
Mega Potion, rvhich restores2000 HP to each pargvmember
simultaneously.Itt easyto seethat thc "Mix" abiliqv m*es it
poxiblc to use items you dont have by combining nvo lesser
items. An Alchemist can so learn to createextra items and
use them during a baftlc. Since an Alchemist can also attack,
equip lour partyi main "healer" with th; dresspher€;n the
lrtter halfofthe gamc.

In ary battle, have an Alchemist attrck until a need for mix-

ing or healing arises.Ifall the enemiescan be affcctedby some
statusailment, thcn mix up the appropriatebomb and launch
it at them. Ifyour party gets into trouble, have an Alchemist
mir up restorative items or create new items by using hcr
"Stash"skills.
