Final Fantasy X Character Biographies
Tidus
Sin's
mysterious power hurls Tidus, the young star of the Zanarkand Abes Blitzball
team, into the greatest adventure of his life. Sin transports him to a far-away
land... and it seems there's no way back. Far from his home and all that he
knows, Tidus develops tender feeling for the beautiful Yuna. To cap it all, his
conflict with his father Jecht, who was also a star blitzball player before disappearing,
flares up again...
AGE:
17
Joins
The Group: Tidus is present from the beginning
Battle
Style: Tidus is a dexterous fighter, so he is good against fast enemies.
Although he often misses flying opponents, he can fight underwater.
Tidus
possesses abilities which he can deploy during battle, For example, at the beginning
of the adventure he is the only character who can use the "flee"
ability to withdraw the entire party from the battle.
Tidus
can use his Overdrive techniques to inflict servere damage on his opponents. If
you select the overdrive attack "Swordplay", keep an eye on the
display and try to stop the bar in the selected area using your X button. The
quicker you succeed, the greater the damage inflicted. Practice makes perfect:
by repeatedly executing successful Overdrives, Tidus can learn new ones..
Rikku
This
sparky Al Bhed girl is the first person encountered by Tidus in the world of
Spira. Rikku is a tender-hearted creature unlike many other Al Bhed.
AGE:
15
Joins
The Group: Spira, after Tidus's arrival and again on the moonflow.
Battle
Style: Rikku's physical combat may be nothing to write home about, but she can
learn abilities enabling her to rob enemy opponents. Later on she can learn the
"Bribe" ability, which will also enable you to obtain a few new items.
Rikku's
Mix Overdrive techniques result from combining two items. There are 64 possible
different techniques, ranging from attack to healing.
Wakka
Wakka
is the captain of the unsuccessful blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs, who have
yet to win a game. It seems that their run of bad luck is finally at an end,
thanks to Tidus... Wakka is also one of Yuna's guardians, and hopes to devote
all his energies to his guardianship duties after this year's blitzball
tournament.
AGE:
24
Joins
The Group: Besaid Island, Beach.
Battle
Style: Wakka has plenty of HP. He is physically stronger the Tidus, especially
when taking on distant or flying opponents whom he hits with his blitzball - a
weapon which he also uses against underwater enemies.
Wakka
can learn different skills and then deploy them in battle. Like Spells, these
skills - which may, for example, cause various status effects - consume MP.
As
soon as you deploy Wakka's Slots Overdrive, a fruit machine with three dials
will start to turn, The symbols will determine the type of strength of the
resulting attack. Wakka's Overdrive skills can be improved by winning blitzball
matches.
Auron
Auron
is the legendary guardian who defeated sin the evil sin ten years ago together
with Braska, Yuna's father. Auron also stood by Tidus when the city if Zanarkand
was destroyed: Tidus owes his first sword to Auron. A man of few words, Auron
lets his powerful blade do the talking. He joins the group in order to defeat
sin once and for all.
AGE:
35
Joins
The Group: Luca, during the blitzball tournament
Battle
Style: Although Auron is one of the group's most powerful fighters in close
combat, he is somewhat sluggish and cannot take on opponents underwater.
In
order to render Auron's Bushido Overdrive particularly effective, you'll have to
press specific button combination on your controller within a set time limit.
Collecting Jecht Spheres is the primary requirement for learning new Overdrives.
Yuna
Yuna,
an apprentice summoner, is the daughter of Braska, the popular High Summoner. He
died ten years ago while defeating the evil power
of Sin. The prayer in the Besaid Temple transformed her into a
fully-fledged summoner, enabling her to summon aeons. Yuna's goal is to find the
final aoen and take on Sin - an ambition that requires her to travel the length
and breadth of Spira.
AGE:
17
Joins
The Group: Besaid Island, Temple
Battle
Style: Yuna is one of the weakest characters when it comes to close to close
combat. Yuna's forte is to use White Magic, a school of magic which uses
numerous healing spells. She is also the only character that learns how to
summon aeons: these useful creatures fight battles on behalf of the group.
The
Grand Summon Overdrive enables Yuna to summon aeons with full Overdrive gauges.
Once the aeon has used his Overdrive it drops back to its precious level.
Lulu
Lulu
is one of Yuna's guardians. Like Wakka, she views Yuna as a younger sister in
need of protection. An expert in Black Magic, Lulu has powerful spells at her
disposal. Although she appears calm, in control of any situation and sometimes
cold, Lulu hides a fierce yet compassionate nature.
AGE:
22
Joins
The Group: Physically, she is one of the weakest members of the party. Lulu's
strength lies in her command magic, she specializes in black magic and mainly
uses attack spells. She also uses dolls which will remind gamers of familiar
figures from the Final Fantasy series.
The
Fury Overdrive skill enables Lulu to use all of her familiar spells several
times without using MP.To do this, just rotate your right analog stick
repeatedly. This enables Lulu to cast magic even if she has been affected by
Silence Status abnormality.
Kimahri
Ronso

member of the Ronso tribe, Kimahri is a taciturn warrior who prefers action to
words. Another of Yuna's guardians, he has watched over her since she was a
small child.
AGE:
25
Joins
The Group: On board the S.S. Liki
Battle
Style: Kimahri is one of the group's best close combat fighters, second only to
Auron, However, he is unable to take on opponents under water.
The Lancet technique enables Kimahri to learn skills from his opponents. Abilities learnt using Lancet can be deployed in the form of an Overdrive attack, as soon as his Overdrive gauge is full. Incidentally, the gauge fully replenished as soon as he successfully gains knowledge of an ability.
