TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Result Plates 3. Frequently Asked Questions 4. Credits 1. INTRODUCTION This is an FAQ for Squaresoft's Final Fantasy X-2. It deals with Result Plates (known in the US version as Garment Grids), which are the artifacts used in conjunction with the Dresswears to allow your characters to change class and use special abilities. Each Result Plate has a number of pits, in which you can put Dresswears. Once a Result Plate is equipped on a character, they will be able to start battle with any of the Dresswears in that Result Plate as well as change based on the pattern of paths engraved in the Result Plate. Certain Result Plates give you special abilities when equipped. Some Result Plates also have colored gates that give you additional abilities if you happen to pass through them with a class change. This FAQ will list those abilities for those of you unable to read the Japanese text (or those of you too lazy to look up the kanji). This FAQ makes use of SJIS encoding in order to display Japanese characters. I included this feature so that if you do not know Japanese, you can easily match up the characters on your TV screen to the characters in this guide. You will need to have support for viewing Japanese characters on your computer, however. Certain versions of Windows should have it built in; otherwise, you'll either need to get a program like NJStar Communicator, or you'll need to get Japanese character support for Internet Explorer (free from Microsoft) and open this file in IE instead of Notepad/Wordpad. 2. RESULT PLATES This section is sorted by the in-game sorting order. Each entry lists the number of pits, the abilities when equipped, the gates, and how to get it, if applicable. For gates, "Green, Red" means that passing through either the green or the red mode will give you the ability listed; "Green+Red" means that BOTH gates must be passed through in order to get the ability. An ability listed by itself, like "Haste" or "Cure", means you'll be able to cast it as a spell; something like "SOS Haste" means the ability will automatically activate if your HP goes yellow; and something like "Auto Haste" means the ability will automatically activate. "Fire Attack" means that your attacks will gain fire elemental status. "HP x2" means your max HP multiplies by 2. 歩みはじめる者 The Beginner Pits: 6 Abilities: None Gates: None How to Obtain: You will obtain this automatically after defeating LeBlanc's group in the opening event in SL 1. 攻めの方陣 Attack Square Formation Pits: 5 Abilities: Attack, Magic Attack +5 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Attack +5 Green, Red: Magic Attack +5 How to Obtain: Obtained from Shinra after the Result Plate Tutorial. 突撃の時 Assault Time Pits: 5 Abilities: Attack, Magic Attack +10 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Attack +10 Green, Red: Magic Attack +10 How to Obtain: You'll obtain this automatically while collecting the disguises in SL 2. たゆまざる攻撃 Unceasing Attack Pits: 5 Abilities: Attack, Magic Attack +15 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Attack +15 Green, Red: Magic Attack +15 How to Obtain: Complete the Machina-destroying Mission at Mihen Highroad during SL 3. 攻めぬく魂の輝き Brilliance of the Attacking Soul Pits: 5 Abilities: Attack, Magic Attack +20 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Attack +20 Green, Red: Magic Attack +20 How to Obtain: Undertake the PR Mission in the Calm Lands, and then exchange 200,000 points from the Gold company for this plate in SL 5. 守りの円陣 Protecting Circle Formation Pits: 5 Abilities: Defense, Magic Defense +5 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Defense +5 Green, Red: Magic Defense +5 How to Obtain: Complete the "Searching for Wakka" mission on Besaid in SL 1. 防衛の時 Defense Time Pits: 5 Abilities: Defense, Magic Defense +10 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Defense +10 Green, Red: Magic Defense +10 How to Obtain: Investigate the Oasis on the way to getting Rikku's special dressup; Bikanel Desert in SL 2. ゆるぎなき防衛 Unwavering Defense Pits: 5 Abilities: Defense, Magic Defense +15 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Defense +15 Green, Red: Magic Defense +15 How to Obtain: Complete the mission at Djose in SL3. 守りぬく勇気の光 Light of the Defending Courage Pits: 5 Abilities: Defense, Magic Defense +20 Gates: Yellow, Blue: Defense +20 Green, Red: Magic Defense +20 How to Obtain: Complete the monster extermination mission at the Thunder Plains in SL 5. 街道の風 Windy Streets Pits: 4 Abilities: Preemptive Strike Gates: Green: Immune to Slow Red: Immune to Stop Yellow: Haste Green+Red+Yellow+Blue: SOS Haste How to Obtain: Clear the Calm Lands mission at the Battle Arena during or after SL 2 (along with the Item Shooter dresswear). 勇者の騎行 Mount of the Brave Pits: 4 Abilities: Preemptive Strike Gates: Green: Immune to Slow Red: Immune to Stop Yellow: Blue: Hastega Green+Red+Yellow+Blue: Auto Haste How to Obtain: Send a Chocobo to the Calm Lands during SL 5. 炎の戦鬼 Demon of Flame Pits: 3 Abilities: Absorb Fire; Fire Gates: Yellow: Fire Attack Green+Red: Fira Green+Red+Yellow: Firaga How to Obtain: Complete the Mushroom Rock Road mission during SL1. 氷の女王 Ice Queen Pits: 3 Abilities: Absorb Ice; Blizzard Gates: Yellow: Ice Attack Green+Red: Blizzara Green+Red+Yellow: Blizzaga How to Obtain: Chase down O'aka in SL2 at Macalania Woods. 雷の魔獣 Beast of Lightning Pits: 3 Abilities: Absorb Lightning; Thunder Gates: Yellow: Lightning Attack Green+Red: Thundara Green+Red+Yellow: Thundaga How to Obtain: Find this in Luca during SL2 in a treasure chest near the docks. 水の怪物 Monster of Water Pits: 3 Abilities: Absorb Water; Water Gates: Yellow: Water Attack Green+Red: Watera Green+Red+Yellow: Waterga How to Obtain: Get every password correct during the Active Link at Kilika at the end of SL 1. ふみにじる物 He Who Crushes Pits: 3 Abilities: Absorb Gravity Gates: Green: Gravity Attack Red: Gravity Green+Red+Yellow: HP x2 How to Obtain: Find this in a treasure chest in the dungeon Under Bevelle during SL 2. いにしえの聖獣 Sacred Beast of Antiquity Pits: 4 Abilities: Absorb Holy Gates: Green: Holy Attack Red+Green+Yellow+Blue: Holy How to Obtain: Defeat Garick at Mt.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. How do I get...? A. I don't know. If it's not in this guide, I don't know, so don't bother emailing me and asking it. Q. I can't put my Special Dresswears in the Result Plates. How do I use them? A. Special Dresswears can only be accessed by pressing R1 on the Dressup screen once every other Dresswear in the Result Plate has been activated at least once. This means that if a Result Plate has 5 Pits, you must have changed dresses at least 4 times before you can use the special Dressup. The Result Plate "Mayowazaru Mono" (He Who is Not Lost) only has 2 Pits, and is specially designed to make it easy to get to your Special Dress. 4.
