Final Fantasy X HD Remaster: Rikku's Best Mixes

[@sinnedbags9287]

Thank you. It’s 2021 and I find this video really helpful. Now I can enjoy using Rikku in the game even more.

[@majora320]

its really funny how Rikku is completely useless unless you know how to use her correctly. She is also one of my favorites in 10, mainly because of how funny she is.

[@randumo24]

She's complicated for noobs to use to her full potential without a guide, but she's still really good even without knowing how to use her properly if you understand the battle system at all. Only true noobs think the game is all about power and don't realise how important speed is, not to mention how good items are.

[@KaeMcSpadden]

While in quarantine, I became hellebent on 100% completing ffx. So this has been really helpful for taking on the super bosses. Thanks.

[@ChristyOFaghan]

yeah, Rikku was incredibly important - i relied on her really heavily, almost to the point where i ignored the other character's stat building

[@eternalmemoire4137]

Thanks to you, Rikku is easily one of my best character in this game. Made some of the hard fights so much easier. :3

[@PatMacMusic]

Man, I am with you, Rikku has been my all time favorite FF Character of all time ever since X dropped. Shes a Chemist/Monk/Thief Hybrid. That Job Mix H is so fucking good.

[@KeybladeMaster9913]

I just realized I've never actually beaten ANY of the FF games I own....

[@Keychan64]

Nani!!!!

[@jeremyjoyner9796]

It’s fun to go on an FF binge and beat them all, at least through FFX

[@BlackBinderGames]

@@jeremyjoyner9796 I did that for the re-release of FF14

[@beezybrown33]

Wow. I can totally understand why. These games are very time consuming.

[@SaturdayMorningProps]

No worries lol you can watch others beat them for you like myself 😂

[@ViviCaligo]

It's actually thanks to your videos that I realised how great a character Rikku is, she went from quick steals to most used for me.

[@AbidingGamer]

This was super helpful, really. I never mastered Rikku's Mix, but now I'll give her a try in my next playthrough

[@jeremesmith9266]

AbidingGamer doing a play through now and am giving Rikku some investment. She's a beast! Mix is OP as hell. Lol

[@nicolecusick4547]

I use this whole playlist as a reference. I just wish there was one on the expert sphere grid alone.

[@zzanmato123]

'Come on, chin up, eyes forward', NEVER heard that line in all my (I believe 20+) playthroughs :-)

[@rkbelmont1138]

This is why Rikku is part of my party against superbosses. Her mixes like Hyper NullAll are so dynamic and useful.

[@robTCGZ]

Rikku is OP!!!! Is thanks to her and your LP that I beat the dark Aeons and Penance, something I never thought I could ever do 4 years ago when I borrowed the iternational version of FFX for the PS2 from a friend and I encountered those bastards when backtracking for missing items; it was my very first time playing FFX, but still. I probably will never do a NSG challenge myself, but I'm waiting to watch yours, I know it's gonna be a lot of fun.

[@hheecckk526]

please dont tell me im alone when i had like a 20 page list of mix combos because i wanted to know all of them without looking on the internet...

[@gamester512]

+hhheeeccckkk526 The guide for the game has a list of all of her mixes as well. If you have the HD remake and the guide for that, it lists all mixes both for Rikku's Overdrive in X and the Alchemist's Mix ability in X-2.

[@omnise]

@@gamester512 i know what im getting myself for xmas lol

[@LordDuddy77]

I still write stuff down instead of looking stuff up most of the time lol

[@NateWolfKira]

I also had Tara Strong sign my FFX-2 manual.

[@Roksana-gy1ek]

Nice :)

[@Order-Sol]

I don't know it looks like a dirty Al Bhed trick right there. lol

[@Skeletampire]

One thing I like about Rikku in the beginning of the game (when she is ????) is that if you mix 2 grenades on the Tros boss, you instantly win with Flash Flood.

[@adammaximus9957]

To be fair, when I had smash thoughts about Rikku we were the same age lol

[@tanvirvirdee7828]

I'm loving thee DBZ references Darkkefkaa! This videos really helpful, thanks for making this since I didn't know how to use Rikku properly, and thanks for this! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@Chanceinator7000]

Excellent as always, DK! You are probably the only KZbinr out there that makes me drop whatever the hell it is I'm doing to watch your videos.

[@1WhiteShadow]

Amazingly helpful, damn great work man! What makes this so good is that you ALSO told us where to get the items.

[@Makocat]

The pimp daddy of the final fantasy youtubers. Love your videos. Glad I found them again hahah

[@Romangelo]

Atelier Rikku: The Alchemist of Spira

[@danielvalentino3675]

Been replaying FFX since it first came out. This game is my absolute fav and rikku is my fav character. Glad to have this vid to learn her mixes

[@flippinbeastIG]

Miss you Darkkefka! A youtube GOAT

[@Darkkefka]

I’m not going anywhere. Just biding my time until I get my life situated again. I’ll be back.

[@DarkPegasus87]

"Super Duper Ouch Ouch Item" LMAO!!! I realize how dumb that line sounds, but it is still funny; probably because you don't expect it.

[@Sad-Lesbian]

Actually, Trio of 9999 doesn't make everything do 9999 damage damage. What it does is that it puts your minimum damage or healing at 9999 which means you can have normal potions heal 9999 damage AND deal 99999 damage to Penance, really useful

[@Ph4lip]

Huhbuhduh You are smart!

[@savagesalvage9449]

Love this. You explain everything perfectly 🤌

[@ProxyDoug]

Holy shit 15? I always though she was 21. Square never really doesn't showed age properly in their characters.

[@ProxyDoug]

***** She always looked older to me.

[@bcat010]

+Douglas Rosa I would say that she looks too mature for her age, physically, but then again, I've seen other 15 year old girls that also look too mature for their ages. And I know there's no what to say what I just said without it sounding creepy, so I apologize.

[@dragonsandfoxlol3162]

+Douglas Rosa in 10-2 shes 17

[@generalgrievous67]

+Douglas Rosa I think it has to do with the japanese cultural border. There a 15 year old can already be considered above age of consent

[@sirlezard670]

General Grievous It's 13 I think

[@05weasel]

Done a few playthroughs of this game but never utilized Rikku that much. Doing one now where I plan to make her one of the main 3. Trio of 9999 is probably one of the strongest moves in the game.

[@missbradicah]

Back in the day , first walk through, I was fighting Sin from the airship; about to unleash graviton and wipe out my party. Rikku's 0verdrive was full so I mixed 2 Items and for the life of me cannot remember what they were, but it made something called California Sun-something... Sunburst? All I remember was a HUGE heat seeking blast of light and it was Byebye Sin. I was like YES!! I appreciated the value of Rikku's skills, used her plenty, even maxed HP to 9999, along with Yuna, Tidus and I believe Auron.

[@shieldwalker]

havnt seen one of you're video in weeks! good to see your still out there :D

[@bcat010]

Hey DK! Idk if you have done this, but do you think you could do a video on Bribing, and more specifically, the monsters you need to bribe to get the best and most useful items, how much the bribes will cost, and quantity? I know there are bribe lists out there already, but I would be interested in seeing what you focus on the most when farming for items.

[@Darkkefka]

+Brian C (Teddy) i did this in my LP.

[@bcat010]

Darkkefka ok. I'll have to look back. I figured you probably already mentioned it, but I thought I'd ask.

[@kmjohnny]

Really nice guide for Rikku, I did most of the things without her mix, but I see what I missed.

[@DarkPhoenix89]

Hyper Mighty Guard got me through those later Dark Aeons. Thank fuck for Rikku!

[@Fruitcupper]

Rikku, mechanic girl/steals awesome stuff for the party/cool costume/agile/resourceful/desert nomad. She was my favorite character in FF X

[@jessekoskinen]

Great video. My favourite characters are Rikku and Auron.

[@zackstaal5965]

Jesse Koskinen yep, i love in X-2 Rikku uses Auron's swords

[@SuperTrailerz]

2022 and I still use this

[@dirtbarton2174]

This video helped out alot. Lol thanks. I'm playing the remastered version of FFX.

[@Justin-ym5ce]

Love the intro, Rikku is my favorite all time FF character!! 😍

[@theenderengineer1943]

Thank you for the video. I wrote down all the combos so I can use them in the future when I need to use them.

[@RenlinkMorales]

it 2023 and im figuring out to learn rikku overdrive cause they are handy rikku is by far the best party member to have.

[@Esirre]

your vids on this game are still really useful to this day. Kind of wish we could get a re-release of Lost Odyssey where the game has battles moving in and out as fast as FFX. Its the only game i know of with a similar battle system

[@jayfergie8420]

Here's to my new playthrough on Ps4 2022. Thanks I just got rikku. I'm hoping to get her celestial soon

[@ErnestJay88]

Rikku the sole reason why No Sphere Grid + No Zanmatto challenge is beatable, the only bosses that can't be beat with NSG+No Zanmatto is Penance, Dark Aeons, and Nemesis.

[@nathanlamb75]

Great video D.K. Playing the remaster right now, getting ready to give the arena and dark aeons a beat down. This should help. Thanks again!

[@imma_gible9594]

The way you explain this game is so funny, I lor it bro. Keep it up

[@odudi]

This video needs more Rikku.. i have a fever and the only prescription is more Rikku. And congrats meeting Tera Strong she is a beautifull stunning lady.

[@daoyang5988]

Rikku in Season 4th Yuna's story Arc Chapter 4: The Forest of Madness of Terror.

[@aegisbreak]

What are the Dark Aeons and Penance? I only played the original FFX so i dont know what the difference between the PS2 and HD versions.

[@Darkkefka]

aegisbreak Super Optional Bosses that appear during the 2nd half of the game.

[@ThatDamnPandaKai]

Hyper Mighty G doesn't work against the Dark Magus Sister's overdrive :| it seems to ignore the auto-life buff

[@Darkkefka]

I kind of forgot to mention this in detail, but when I said "Dark Cindy", thats basically what I meant. Her normal attack, and the fact that she's the one that triggers the delta attack.

[@Ph4lip]

My fav move so far for capturing is chaos grenade and black hole. Oh and thanks for the quick setup :D

What's that opening music?

[@Darkkefka]

yeah, sorry about that....had to get THAT out of the way first.

[@tyroneperalta5285]

wow. how'd you get 12 on lulu's overdrive 6:06 .😮I thought max 7 is the normal we can get

[@gingfreecss3467]

Can you do a guide on how to use sphere grid properly. Cuz i remember back at ps2 era i just did random stuff. But now id really like to know which nodes to unlock first etc optimal road for strongest chars. From start to end

[@Auriss97]

'over NINE THOUSAAAAAND' I died 😂 This is Dragonball for you hahhah

[@dawnoftruth1]

I still don't understand the expert sphere grid vs the standard. Maybe you could explain. I've got like 70 hours on the standard because as far as I could tell it was only a difference in how many blank spheres there were. 70 hours is easy to re do if I should, but should I?

[@Darkkefka]

Mike Wa the only main difference is lesser free nodes and early game choices. You can have Yuna using black magic in the beginning and stuff like that. Late game griding they both feel abut the same.

[@dawnoftruth1]

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[@alexsnyder5145]

welp..at least i know now how to use rikku to her fullest...somewhat x.x..shes difficult with mixes but great for gettin the items for it, thanks for the enlightenment there

[@BraveVermillion]

Darkkefka If you mind, may you please tell what the music was that played in the background of this video?

[@Darkkefka]

Brave Fantasy It's Rikku's them from FFx-2

[@mtownboi4ya]

Quick question. When it comes to FFX, you are the authority. Is there any hint, tip, or trick you have on getting through the chocobo races in the calm lands? I've one done it once on the original ps2 release and it was pure luck. Anything besides patience and a stiff drink?

[@thatguyontheright1]

***** patience, and a stiff drink. The HD Version has a glitch where even if you get a time of 0:00.00, you still won't get Tidus' shit. You have to get a time of -0:01.00 (which the game displays as 0:00.00) to get the sigil. I ran into that with my LP.

[@ThundagaT2]

I dont think that's a glitch. The minigame actually requires a time less than 0:0.0. Getting 0:0.0 exactly wont count.

[@BlueMageDaisen]

***** Eh, it's always been really easy to me Main thing is just press restart if you don't have the initial balloons on Tidus' side of the racecourse

[@halopgriffon]

Very informative video DK! Admittedly I never really used Rikku to her full potential in my previous playthroughs, and I never really go after the ubers. I was always more of a Lulu guy because...boobs, first off...second off, I haven't had that much of a problem finishing her celestial weapon on multiple playthroughs, and she makes the rest of the story missions laughably easy. I will have to use Rikku more often in my next playthrough! :)

[@omnise]

doesnt trio of 9999 also work with 2 underdog's spirit like when you get 99 of them before the evrae fight for having all 26 al bhed primers?

[@snails6997]

I stumble across your video at the time I replaying this game in 2024. I'm more of a Lulu's on my taste, but Rikku is always on my party on all of my play through. She got Steal, Mix, Bribe, and easy Celestial. Makes her useful in early, mid, late, and super late game. She is useful in any kind of run. No sphere grid, speed run, late game grinds, super bosses, anything. Her mix is just nasty utility. This is why she is one of my permanent choice replaying FFX. Up there among with Yuna because of her aeons (Aeons overdrives is just a blatant "I win" button for many early bosses). Yuna celestial also easy to get. ...and Lulu because of her potential. She only useful as babysitter for early new players up to Macalania area enemies, after that other characters start being better. She isn't useful in mid to late game at all. Her Onion Knight is annoying to get without the crater soundless tips. Tho, she got huge "Potential" that I cant ignore. Its also the reason I don't give her Auto-haste because both her "Potential" jiggles weird. I hope FFX remake somewhere in the future will fix her.

[@thunderguyer]

Did you see Cid in the FF15 demo? I mean damn,what a change

[@TheTj334]

Cursedwind That wasn't Cid. That was Cidney, Cid's daughter.

[@thunderguyer]

TjRoxas PO OOOHHHH....Still,damn

[@TheTj334]

Cursedwind I know right. I gotta admit, that is 1 hot looking chick but she does she really have to wear those clothes?

[@thunderguyer]

TjRoxas PO I have to say though...I have seen a really similar design to Cidney somewher...but i don't remember where

[@Darkkefka]

just looked her up...holy shit...

[@nesoukkefka1741]

I think you should have mention the mix that raise Critical Hit rate to 100% (sorry I play only the french version and I don't the English name) it is useful especcially in NSG when you fight Evrae with this move (and Hyper Nullall) Auron can deal over 1000 damage in NSG which is really good and even best this work with item including the mix of Rikku Chaos Grenade can deal over 9999 damage with it (if you have Break Damage Limit of course), this is maybe not very useful in a normal (although he can speed up some fight) but I found it useful, also there is the most powerfull overdrive of Rikku in NSG (aside from Trio of 9999) Supernova which can deal 19998 damage (even without Break Damage Limit) which is really usefull in NSG because the items that you need to do it can be unlock as soon as we enter in the Calm Lands (just unlock Earth Eater also it's possible to get items to do it from Rin if you have all the Manuel Al Bhed).

[@CrazyFriendlyGamerAlex]

I actually have to thank you for reminding me how useful Rikku is, DK:D She is a lifesaver especially when you do NSG run or in my case ANSG:D But I still haven't beaten Evrae in FFX so well, maybe I need some more itemsXD

[@danteishimura9189]

Been looking into the Don Tonberry ap trick to help towards filling all grids trophy. But what advantage does casting overdrive do? I read that you have to have the main character be the focus of Don's attacks and have the other two team mates have comrade overdrive mode and ideally both have at least double ap weapons to get in on that juicy ap. But I don't get the requirement for Rikku to give you overdrive in this scenario. Cheers for any further advice you can give on this. Playing the PS4 remaster if that means anything.

[@Ryder-636]

Dante Ishimura they need overdrive > ap on the weapons too. Hence her overdrive ability eccentric gives 2x overdrive rate. Meaning more ap on top of the double overdrive or triple overdrive. It stacks

[@danteishimura9189]

@@Ryder-636 Yeah cheers man. In the process of trying to get the three slot triple ap weapons. Got 5 so far but still nothing for Tidus or Kimi.

[@Ryder-636]

@@danteishimura9189 oh yeah, it took me forever to get rikku one i think. So last hitting the boss with the character increases the chance for that character. Or killing with an Aeon is just a random chance for everyone. Also ultima drops the weapons already premade if you're able to basically one shot ultima.

[@Bloodbane2099]

Rikku FTW she is uber useful in battle shit sometimes she gets 3-5 turns before anyone else,its also funny to put a death strike/stone strike combo on her weapon before you get her ultimate,and her mixes will save your ass 100 times over

[@Lexentale]

finally, you do a video of full FFX!. FFX is my favorite

[@davidfortuin4146]

My favorite character in FFX. My extermination squad revolve around Rikku and her mixes : Auron, Rikku, Wakka = Now ya'll fucked!

[@TheLanguageSponge]

Hi DK. Thanks for the video, it was fantastic. Some constructive criticism though, if you don't mind, is I personally think you speak a little bit too quickly when you're listing things, for example the ingredients for Rikku's Mixes at the end of this video. Thanks!

[@sSOLDIERrr]

Put Master Thief on Rikku's Ultimate armor instead of Ribbon or Stoneproof. You'll find yourself using her in all your battles and your collection of rare items will skyrocket.

[@rainnguyen2883]

Best Mix 4 me is Ultra Null All, Final Elixer,Chaos Grenade,Black Hole, and Hyper Mighty G. Help in all situations.

[@kai13and8]

Hey DK did you finish the LP of kingdom hearts 1 I try to find the end but I can't.

You can also use magic defense spheres you get from fighting one eye to make the chaos grenade. I use one eye for the gil trick and I already have 99 magic defense spheres

I like to see your videos about ff because u r a genius playing, still like that and hope u will continue doing this wonderful job :)

[@WardenGOW]

Im on my first playthrough off Final Fantasy X and so far i have found her completely useless but after watching this shes not as useless as i thought she was.

[@VikingPotatoes]

Best way to do Hyper Mighty G is lunar curtain + Amulet. That's how I do it anyway because it's really easy to beat the giant bird in the monster arena that gives you 4 amulets.

[@Darkkefka]

YES. I use the other way because I can use Gamblers spirit with others..thus not having items all over the place and getting mixed up.

[@theastrawolf217]

I'm currently playing and experimenting with Mixes in my 1st run. If you were to add any Mix today, would you or are all the mixes here still really good?
