  4.  
  5. Q. What does Yuna Only OSG stand for?
  6. A. Yuna Only - Can only use Yuna in battle. Other characters have to attack themselves to pass turns if they're available, or escape from battle.
  7. OSG - Can only use that characters portion of the sphere grid. This means any node that is within their Sphere Grid area is available to access.
  8. More information can be found in this picture:
  9. Standard Grid: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/273969530036937671/CB3AC3853A4FB9B46E6A32A0F0BC5D1F976410A0/
  10. Expert Grid: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/273969530036947339/05E9B138B4792AEA4DB42182A4553F673E31A8D5/
  11. Hope that helps clear the OSG rule up a bit.
  12.  
  13. No Summons - No using the "Summon" command from the list, unless forced to do so. This includes the Grand Summon command (Yuna's Overdrive) as it summons an Aeon.
  14.  
  15. NE - No Escaping, meaning Yuna cannot escape from random battles. Other characters can (and must if they can) however, though if Yuna dies in battle it counts as a gameover.
  16.  
  17. NNE - No use of "No Encounters" weapons or armour.
  18.  
  19. NBB - No playing Blitzball for rare items. This doesn't include the first forced Blitzball, where you are free to win it.
  20.  
  21. Q. Why do you need Reflect?
  22. A. Sinspawn Gui is nearly impossible without it, as you would run out of healing items long before you can smack it to death with your staff. You have to bounce Thunder back at the body to save time. There is a quirk with this fight where reflected spells always bounce back to the body, making this fight very long but possible.
  23.  
  24. Q. Why is Holy required?
  25. A. For the Seymour and Anima fight. Yuna cannot deal damage fast enough without Holy to defeat Anima before it uses Pain on her and kills her. You have to immediately cast Holy on Seymour and then Holy Anima twice.
  26.  
  27. Q. What about areas where you can't control Yuna?
  28. A. The game is played as if it is a NSG game.
  29.  
  30. Q. How do you get past the forced Condor - Dingo - Water Flan encounter early on?
  31. A. The Water Flan constantly heals itself when low on HP and never runs out of MP, so the only way past it is to summon or use Lulu.
  32.  
  33. You cannot get Holy this early on, as the game doesn't give you random encounters till AFTER this fight.
  34.  
  35. Q. How did you beat Sin's Fin? You cannot attack it unless you have Holy!
  36. A. Usually in this challenge, the restricition is lifted for this one fight.
  37.  
  38. You would have to fight 140000~ish encounters in Besaid Island to get Holy, which might take over 2 years (of solid playtime) to achieve! This is not something I personally find interesting, so I use Yuna to fight the Sinscales and Kimahri/Lulu/Wakka to kill the Fin. I basically play out the fight as if I have access to all characters, so dying is allowed too, there really is nothing interesting about this entire fight.
  39.  
  40. It is also faster to grind later on than in Besaid. Tidus and Yuna are the only 2 characters that cannot hit the Fin in that fight. The challenge would otherwise be grinding to Holy/impossible if you wanted to define it that way, the former being nearly impossible, and the latter being impossible (unless using the Expert Sphere Grid, but then it wouldn't be OSG).
  41.  
  42. Lastly, since I have no escapes, it'd probably take even longer than 2 years because I would have to reset every encounter with a flan early on to save time (can't escape, so have to close game + reopen each time, possibly over a million times).
  43.  
  44. Q. Why are you fighting encounters on purpose?
  45. A. I might be farming specific equipment or items from monsters, feel free to ask me what I'm doing if it's not obvious! I can't escape from any encounters either.
  46.  
  47. Q. How can you beat the game like this?
  48. A. With a high level of game knowledge, this challenge is very much possible.
  49.  
  50. Q. Why does this FAQ suck and not have a lot of q/a in it?
  51. A. My bad, if you have any questions ask me in chat! I will put them in the FAQ.
  52.  
  53. Q. Will you do other challenges after this one?
  54. A. Definitely, I want to do single character challenges for Tidus, Wakka, Auron, Rikku NSG perhaps and a bunch of other stuff!
