Check the credits. Also added in the changes for modes in Final Fantasy X International to subsection 2.2, and changes in Overdrive -> AP auto-ability in the bottom of section 5. Made Kaze Yagami a co-author for all of his troubles. Changed alot of the OD effects such as extra effects in Auron's and info on Lulu's. Spelling errors fixed, also. 3.7 - Error fix 3.62 - Changed "Absorb" to "Drain" 3.61 - Lulu's spells correction, minor fixes. 3.6 - Updated Aurochs Reels, Wakka clearification, Auron's spheres clearification, added "Overdrive Auto-Abilities" section. 3.2 - Added Mystile's Overdrive history, cleaned the mess up in Lulu's section, changed the intro to "Overdrive History/Info" section, added notice at the top. 3.1 - Fixed Rook mode, added some monsters to learn Kimahri's abilities from. 3.0 - Numerous "obvious" corrections, Jecht Sphere location update, some "benchmark" mixes (ie, good-to-know), added Lulu's Fury spells, corrected Yojimbo (again). 2.7 - Added site to sites list, how to exceed max damage for Aeons, fixed obtaining Tidus' Overdrives, added Yojimbo's "Head Chop-off" Overdrive, fixed obtaining Jecht Spheres, added the LAST Overdrive mode(!!), I think. 2.6 - Added 1 Overdrive mode (one left!), more on Wakka's Overdrive, added the weapons to help Aeons exceed max damage, fixed Tidus' Energy Rain. 2.2 - The first minor revision (but it still required two points).

Added mucho grande credits, changed some text to be more understandable, and made numerous small updates. 1.0 - Initial release. Has all the character Overdrives, 10 Overdrive modes, and all Aeon Overdrives.

It is called an "Overdrive". The following was written by Mystile, copied with permission by myself: "Overdrives are a conglomeration of unique, powerful techniques from previous Final Fantasy games. Each character has his or her own special Overdrive(s) that cannot be copied or taught to other characters. They are what makes a character truly unique in gameplay. These techniques originate from Final Fantasy 3/6j. In FF6, they were a small, almost invisible feature. Called Desperation Attacks, a character would randomly perform his or her unique attack when his or her health was in critical. These attacks were amplified in Final Fantasy 7, when they were changed to Limit Breaks. Here, a character had a special meter, and when Limit meters were full, you could opt to use the character's Limit Break. Final Fantasy 8 reverted back to the random form seen in FF6, with a huge difference. Whereas in FF6 Desperation attacks would appear 1 out of 20 times with no control, FF8 Limit Breaks would appear randomly as a selectable command. Players could skip a character's turn in hopes that the next time his or her turn came up, the Limit Break command could be accessed. Things took a strange turn in Final Fantasy 9. The Limit meters returned, now called Trance meters, but you were no longer allowed to store the technique, as you could in FF7, or have a chance of using it consecutively, as in FF6 or FF8. When the Trance meter was full, the character would enter Trance mode. In this mode, all attacks did twice as much damage, and characters opened up new, powerful commands. Trance mode decreased the Trance meter every turn used, and when the meter was empty, the character would revert to normal. If you ended a battle in Trance, tough luck! The meter would empty itself, and you had to continue building it up." I strongly urge you to check out Mystile's FAQ/Walkthrough, currently in the making. An Overdrive is an attack unique to a single character, that not even through the Sphere Grid can anyone else learn. It is sort of like a "charged" mode -- the character will unleash an attack more powerful than what is normal. However, the Overdrive, unlike Trance, will only last for one move. Hopefully this guide will teach you the basics of Overdrive and how to utilize each one to the maximum efficiency. But first of all, and MOST IMPORTANTLY -- this guide contains SPOILERS (in small doses). So if you don't want your game ruined (which there probably aren't enough here to do that, I don't give away anything BIG) -- steer away. But notice, mostly all I mention is place names, nothing that will make you hate life for finding out. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (2) Overdrive Modes =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Overdrive system in Final Fantasy X is much more expansive than in any previous version of the series. This includes various ways of reaching Overdrive -- whether it be taking a hit or dealing a hit, every character can find one perfect for their -- and your -- fighting style. ___________ |2.1 - Modes| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ [00] - Example - Desc: How and when the gauge will charge. - Obtained: How to obtain the overdrive mode.

Changes| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Only pertaining to Overdrives, of course. [01] - Daredevil (Crisis) mode increment down from 16% to 4% [02] - Ally (Confrontation) mode increment down from 4% to 3% =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (3) Character Overdrives =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Each character has an Overdrive ability that is unique to them, and CAN NOT be learned by anyone else, even through the Sphere Grid (so full character abilities are not possible, technically). Listed below in each subsection is each character's Overdrive abilities, how to gain new ones, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. ___________ |3.1 - Tidus| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Swordplay Activation: A cursor will move left -> right on the bar on the screen and then reverses direction once it reaches the far end of it. The goal is to press (X) at the correct time to try and make the cursor stop in the small white area in the middle of the bar. If you miss the cursor will restart at the beginning of the bar. The attack will be more powerful depending on the time remaining on the timer at the top-right. This becomes harder the more powerful Overdrive you use. [01] - Spiral Cut - Damages a single enemy with a slew of acrobatical endeavours followed with a deadly swing of the sword. - Is initially availible (you start the game with this) [02] - Slice & Dice - Attacks all enemies with a series of 6 attacks with the sword. - Gain by successfully activating Overdrives 10 times (total) [03] - Energy Rain - Attacks all enemies, only once - Gain by successfully activating Overdrives 30 times (total) [04] - Blitz Ace - 8 slashes, followed by a Jecht Shot on one enemy - Gain by successfully activating Overdrives 80 times (total) __________ |3.2 - Yuna| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Grand Summon Activation: Summons any Aeon with a full Overdrive gauge. After the Overdrive attack an Aeon will return to its previous Overdrive gauge fulledness. Therefore, it is possible to unleash two Overdrive attacks in a row! ___________ |3.3 - Wakka| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Slots Activation: A slot machine reel will appear on the screen. Given a long amount of time, Wakka must press the (X) button to stop each reel one at a time. The first reel will be the type of attack. If all three reels are matched, the attack will be extra powerful. Also NOTE: The reels control more than just the attack: - If you match up 2 of any type, you attack a random enemy with that type. - If you match up all 3 of any type, you attack all enemies with that type. - If you don't match up anything, you perform a charged attack on an enemy. Again, note: In the international version, the reels do more damage based on the timer in the right-hand corner. [01] - Element Reels - Adds elemental (fire, water, thunder, blizzard) effects to attack - Is initially availible (you start the game with it) [02] - Attack Reels - Adds extra hits to attack (the number that lines up is the amount of attacks) - Win as prize in Blitzball tournaments [03] - Status Reels - Adds status effects to attack (poison, etc.) - Win as prize in Blitzball leagues (must have appeared in 250 battles) [04] - Aurochs Reels - Combination of elemental attacks and status inflictions. The Aurochs symbol represents a massive non-elemental, non-status attack. The number of Aurochs logos represents the number of the original Besaid Aurochs on your blitz team (ie, if you still have Tidus and Keepa, two logos would be availible.) - Win as prize in Blitzball tournaments (must have appeared in 450 battles) One more note: Wakka does NOT have to be on your blitz team in order to obtain his Overdrives. __________ |3.4 - Lulu| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Fury Activation: After you choose which spell you would like to cast, just rotate the right analog stick as much as you can. For each complete turn registered Lulu will cast the spell. Note that... - Does not consume MP - Can be activated even if under Silence - Low power (about 40% of the normal power) - Damage cannot be reduced - Attack cannot be reflected - The first spins are easy, but after 4 they become gradually harder - The higher Lulu's magic stat, the easier revolutions register "Fury" Spells, that is, spells that can be used for Lulu's Overdrive. NOTE: The spells are not in a particular order. [01] - Fire [02] - Thunder [03] - Water [04] - Blizzard [05] - Fira [06] - Thundara [07] - Watera [08] - Bizzara [09] - Firaga [10] - Thundaga [11] - Waterga [12] - Blizzaga [13] - Death [14] - Bio [15] - Drain [16] - Osmose [17] - Flare [18] - Ultima _____________ |3.5 - Kimahri| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Ronso Rage Activation: No activation is required. Kimahri's Overdrive is the skills he learned using his Lancet technique on an enemy that has a learnable ability. Below is a list of all the skills he can learn along with the fiends he can learn them from. NOTE: If you do not know some of these abilities by Mt. Gagazet, you can learn them from Yenke Ronso and Biran Ronso, as listed below. Also, Kimahri's Overdrive gauge fills up automatically when you learn a new technique. [01] - Jump - Damages one enemy - Is initially availible (you start the game with it) [02] - Fire Breath - Fire damage to all enemies - Learn from: Dual Horn, Grendel, Valaha, Yenke Ronso [03] - Seed Cannon - Non-elemental damage to single enemy - Learn from: Grat, Ragora, Sandragora [04] - Self-Destruct - Sacrifice self (not KO, you disappear from battle) to deal extreme amount of damage - Learn from: Bomb, Grenade, Puroboros, Biran Ronso [05] - Thrust Kick - Non-elemental damage to single enemy, blow-away effect - Learn from: YKT-11, YKT-63, Biran Ronso [06] - Stone Breath - Induces petrification status - Learn from: Basilisk, Anacondaur, Yenke Ronso [07] - Aqua Breath - Water damage to all enemies - Learn from: Chimera, Chimera Brain, Chimerageist*, Yenke Ronso [08] - Doom - Gradual death to a single enemy - Learn from: Ghost, Wraith, Biran Ronso [09] - White Wind - Heals whole party 1/2 of Kimahri's current HP - Learn from: Spirit, Dark Flan, Yenke Ronso [10] - Bad Breath - Inflicts random status abnormalities - Learn from: Malboro, Great Malboro [11] - Mighty Guard - Casts Shell, Protect, and all Nul- spells on party - Learn from: Behemoth, Behemoth King, Biran Ronso [12] - Nova - MAJOR damage to all enemies - Learn from: Omega Weapon, Nemesis* * - This enemy is created by the Monster Arena guy (once certain requirements are met). Check out CB's Monster Arena FAQ for more info. ___________ |3.6 - Auron| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Bushido Activation: Press the buttons that appear on the screen as fast as you can. The more time that is on the timer at the top-right shows how powerful the attack will be (the more time, the more powerful). Also, if an incorrect button is pressed, you must start the sequence over. To gain new Overdrives, see below. NOTE: For directional controls, using the D-Pad is easier than the Analog sticks. [01] - Dragon Fang - Sequence: Left, Down, Up, Right, (L1), (R1), (X), (O) - Attacks all enemies , adds weak Delay effect (254%) - Initially availible (you start the game with it) [02] - Shooting Star - Sequence: (Tri), (O), (Sq), (X), Left, Right, (X) - Attacks one enemy, adds Blow Away effect (254%) - Collect 1 Sphere [03] - Banishing Blade - Sequence: Up, (L1), Down, (R1), Right, Left, (Tri) - Damages one enemy, adds Power Break, Armor Break, Mental Break, and Magic Break effects - Collect 3 Spheres [04] - Tornado - Sequence: (X), Right, (R1), Left, (L1), (Tri) - Damages all enemies for MAJOR damage - Collect 10 Spheres Effects only are applied when sequence is entered correctly. Jecht, Auron, and Braska Sphere Locations: [01] - After defeating Spherimorph at Macalania Lake [02] - Besaid Village, steps near the Temple of Yevon [03] - On the S.S. Liki, cabin, board at Besaid [04] - Luca Stadium, Basement A (near locker room) [05] - Mi'hen Highroad, Oldroad [06] - Mushroom Rock Road, Precipice, south of the rising platform [07] - Moonflow, South Wharf, near the Shoopuf dock [08] - Thunder Plains, south part, near a lightning rod on the right [09] - Macalania Forest, South, right at entrance [10] - Mt. Gagazet, Mountain Road, side road that dead-ends Note: You cannot start collecting spheres until you defeat Spherimorph at Macalania Lake, whereafter you automatically gain one. ___________ |3.7 - Rikku| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ability: Mix Activation: Select 2 items from your inventory to mix together and create a new item. The results are logical: for example, mixing a Potion with another Potion will create an Ultra Potion. For this Overdrive I will not list the (seemingly) infinite possibilities, but kneel down to CB! for creating one (350+ kb!). You can find it at GameFAQs.com. Here are some useful mixes, though: Potion + Soul Spring = Megalixir 2 Grenades = Flash Flood 2 Common Spheres (Power, Mana, Speed, Ability) = Frag Grenade 2 Elemental Gems of the same kind = powerful elemental attack 2 Doorway to Tomorrow = Trio of 9999 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (4) Aeon Overdrives =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Since in Final Fantasy X, Aeons (summoned beasts) act as normal party members, each comes with his or her own special Overdrive unlike anyone else's. I list these and their effects here, for your information and records. Please NOTE: Aeon Overdrives DO NOT have to be activated in some sort of special way as the character Overdrives do. All that is required is selecting the special attack off a list. Also, Aeons do not have a unique Overdrive ability the way characters do. All Overdrives are listed on the menu by pressing Left, and not having to go into a sub-menu. * denotes that you must power up the weapons with either the corresponding crest or sigil. _____________ |4.1 - Valefor| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: get Yuna's ultimate weapon (Nirvana)* [01] - Energy Ray - A beam of energy is shot out of Valefor's mouth. - Attacks all enemies - Initially availible [02] - Energy Blast - A stronger energy-based attack, but takes a longer recharge time. - Attacks all enemies - Acquired by finding a dog near the Besaid Temple, after recruiting Yuna ___________ |4.2 - Ifrit| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: get Wakka's ultimate weapon (World Champion)* [01] - Hellfire - Massive fire damage (quite the graphical sequence, good job Square!) - Attacks all enemies - Availible as soon as you get Ifrit ___________ |4.3 - Ixion| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: get Kimahri's ultimate weapon (Spirit Lance)* [01] - Thor's Hammer - Massive lightning damage (also some great eye candy) - Attacks all enemies - Availible as soon as you get Ixion ___________ |4.4 - Shiva| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: get Lulu's ultimate weapon (Onion Knight)* [01] - Diamond Dust - Massive ice damage at the snap of a finger - Attacks all enemies - Availible as soon as you get Shiva (aka ???? the first time you face Seymour) _____________ |4.5 - Bahamut| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: auto-ability (no weapon needed) [01] - Mega Flare - A breath attack that consistently deals massive damage - Attacks all enemies - Availible as soon as you get Bahamut _____________ |4.6 - Yojimbo| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: get Auron's ultimate weapon (Masamune)* Yojimbo does not have selectable Overdrive attacks. His official Overdrive would be the "head chop-off" move, also known as Zanmato. ___________ |4.7 - Anima| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: auto-ability [01] - Oblivion - Inflicts seemingly DEADLY damage, in a string of multiple attacks (non-elemental) - Attacks all enemies - Availible as soon as you get Anima _______________________ |4.8 - The Magus Sisters| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Exceed Max Damage: auto-ability [01] - Delta Attack - In my opinion, the 2nd most powerful Overdrive in the game. Only get when ALL 3 Sisters have full Overdrive gauge - Attacks all enemies - Availible as soon as you get the Magus Sisters =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (5) Overdrive Auto-Abilities =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In my latest daring endeavour into this FAQ, I have added the Overdrive Auto-Abilities section. This section relates to any auto-abilities related to Overdrives. Keep in mind that all of these abilities are customized on weapons. [01] - Double Overdrive - Req'd: Underdog's Secret x30 - Desc: Overdrive gauge charges at 2x the regular rate. [02] - Triple Overdrive - Req'd: Winning Formula x30 - Desc: Overdrive gauge charges at 3x the regular rate. [03] - SOS Overdrive - Req'd: Gambler's Spirit x20 - Desc: Overdrive gauge charges 2x when HP is critically low. [04] - Overdrive -> AP - Req'd: Door to Tomorrow x10 - Desc: Earn extra AP rather than charge Overdrive gauge. - This ability is a large part of the AP trick. Check out ChronoRye's AP Trick FAQ at gamefaqs.com. - NOTE: This auto-ability was weakened somewhat in FFX International. When the OD gauge is charged to AP, the amount is reduced to 90% of the previous increment in the same battle. For example, in one battle, you will get 100% effeciency, then 90%, 81%, 72%, etc. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (6) Conclusion =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Well, thanks for reading my FAQ (if you did); hopefully it educated you in the art of Overdriving.
