Ironically, Final Fantasy X's cheapest move is also its most expensive.

Struggling to see off the dark manifestation of the Magus Sisters? Repeatedly having your aeons handed to you by Omega Weapon? Being put in your place by Penance?

Don't panic: there's an easy solution. As with high-profile scandals which afflict the rich and famous, throwing enough money at such problems will make them magically disappear. Specifically, pay secret summon Yojimbo a chubby chocobo's bounty of gil, and the wandering ronin will pull out his lethal zanmato - a legendary katana infused with demon-destroying properties, which'll scythe any fiend in two instantly.

That said, it'll cost around 200,000 gil just to hire the samurai from the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth in the first place. Is the investment worth it to make the game's biggest challenges entirely trivial?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
