Alright, here we go. I'm gonna be honest, our Final Fantasy X profiles are pretty bad and lackluster. They're leaving out a massive amount of abilities and such, but what I mostly need to fix... are their tiers.
Yeah, FF5 ain't the only one with inaccurate tiering. And unlike 5, 10 needs a downgrade. A big one. And this hurts me, because FFX is probably one of my favorite games in the series, if not THE favorite.
Without further ado, let's begin.
Low 6-B
http://web.archive.org/web/20160505...n-of-al-bheds-home-hd-remaster-edition.26682/ Feat for reference.
Low 6-B ratings for bosses come from Evrae being able to tank barrages from the Fahrenheit's missiles, which were able to absolutely wipe the Al Bhed Home on the map. But as you can see from the feat itself, there are a few issues with that. Mostly, the fact that it's clear the missiles aren't what's causing the Home explosion. The missiles themselves only generate a comparatively quite small chain of explosions that are LEAGUES smaller than the explosion of Home itself, which very visibly generates from inside the base itself. Furthermore, the initial explosion shown before the cut is massively faster than what it's shown to be after the cut, which inflates the values further.
Given this and what I'm going to have to bring up later, this seems unusable.
High 6-A
High 6-A comes from... Actually, I have no idea. Because it's only listed on one page! It supposedly comes from Anima and Seymour being superior to Ifrit, but FFX Ifrit is all-but featless. His best stuff shown would be Low into Tier 8 at best going off his overdrives.
I can only assume that this comes from a Dissidia statement that Noctis also uses. And if that's the case, this is ABSOLUTELY not usable. Summons in Dissidia are distinctly different entities from the summons in the normal games, and Yuna literally uses her version of Ifrit as a regular move. Summons share common characteristics across the games, yes, but stats are NOT one of those traits.
Being completely unsourced and shaky assuming the only possible source on the site, this needs to be removed.
Low 5-B
http://web.archive.org/web/20170520...feat-giga-graviton-hd-remaster-edition.26683/ Feat for reference.
And here's the big one. Sin's Giga Graviton, the ultimate attack that everybody is meant to scale from.
To make a long story short: They don't.
Know why?
Because this attack is a SCRIPTED GAME OVER when it hits you.
The entire point of the Second phase Sin fight in FFX is that you have to defeat it before its limit break bar is filled up. When it uses its limit break, no matter how strong you are, Giga Graviton instantly gets a game over. It doesn't deal maximum damage, it instantly transitions to the game over screen. The party is only able to fight the first phase of Sin by attacking weak points, which overall doesn't even hurt it much and only manages to piss it off long enough for them to go inside its body and defeat Yu Yevon from the inside.
The calc also assumes that it's an omnidirectional wave, despite clearly being vector-based. It clears out massive chunks of land in multiple straight lines across Spira which, while certainly powerful, is a far cry from omnidirectional like was assumed. But that's ultimately less of an issue.
So what's left?
Honestly, I'm not sure. The only other notable feats are Tier 8/7, and there isn't anyone notable like Gilgamesh to scale from, as he got replaced with Yojimbo. Hell, even Shinryu is just a breedable palette swap of Evrae. This is all I can think of that's left:
-Sizable Explosions which are probably around Tier 8
-Auron makes a tornado with his limit break, which is 8-A I believe
-Lightning Bolts are a thing that are 8-C
-Sin is shown to be capable of destroying cities
Assuming there's nothing notable left in the verse, the cast should be downgraded to City Level (Aided in the defeat of Sin, who is shown to be capable of destroying cities), and Sin should be downgraded to At least City Level (Capable of destroying entire cities like Zanarkand), Small Planet Level with Giga Graviton (Pulled rocks down from the moon and is able to one-shot a late-game party).
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
