Developing your character on the Sphere Grid

1st Step

Your characters will gain Ability Points (AP) at the end of a victorious battle. You may also gain spheres which are occasionally left by the enemy. Ability Points Increase a character's Sphere Level.

2nd Step

Go to the Main Menu, select the Sphere Grid option by pressing [X] and then select a character.

3rd Step

You will be shown the Sphere Grid for the selected character. You ca use [L2] and [R2] to tilt the Grid and zoom in by pressing [Select].

4th Step

Press [X], from the resulting options, chose Move to move your character; you will see that accessible Nodes are highlighted. You can enter one new field per Sphere Level, or you can cross four activated fields. Press [X] to confirm your decision.

5th Step

If you are on or directly beside a Node which has yet to tbe activated, press [X]. Now select Use in the new window. Another window will open, displaying a list of your Spheres. The available Spheres are highlighted in white. You can use certain Spheres to transform empty Node fields into activated ones, whereas others can be used to activate non-adjacent Nodes.

6th Step

Select a Sphere type. Press [X] to confirm your decision or [Cirlce] to cancel.

7th Step

The Node field has activated and your character has learnt a new ability or increasd an attribute. You'll new see a small coloured mark next to the field. Either continue or press [Triangle] to view your character's Status. You can use [L1] and [R1] to switch to other characters or press [Circle] to return to the main menu.

Colours on the Sphere Grid

At the start of the game, some Nodes will not be activated and are therefore grey. A Node will light up once it has been activated. However if you switch to another character, the field will be grey again, since it has not yet been activated by the relevant character. Each Node has seven small squares arranged around it. If one of these lights up, you'll be able to see which character has already activated the node in question. The following colour code is used to denote the various characters:

Tidus	Yuna	Auron	Kimahri	Wakka	Lulu	Rikku

Nodes and Spheres

You'll need Spheres to activate Nodes as you come across them, even if they've already been activated by another character. The increase increments will remain the same. However, if the Node was originally activated by a Purple Sphere, the increase will always be 4 attribute points, 300 HP or 40 MP.
