Hey everyone! I’m diving back into Final Fantasy X after putting it aside for a while. I always get stuck at this boss fight on an airship wing against some huge monster, and I want to know how much of the game I have left. No spoilers or hints, just a rough estimate would be awesome! I’m about to finish up another game and considering jumping back into FFX soon. How much do you think is left?

Roughly 75% into the main story! To tackle Evrae, consider doing some grinding for an hour on the airship. You can stack up on All Bhed Potions for Rikku to heal your party. Also, tossing Slow on Evrae will give you a huge advantage, but be cautious of its self-cast Haste when it gets low on health. Save your Overdrives to finish it off quickly!
I’d estimate you’re about 25% through the main story and maybe 99% through any optional content. So you have a decent chunk left to explore!
If I had to guess, you’re probably around 33% through. That Evrae battle did trip me up back in the day, but I found grinding on the ship helped a lot. Being over-leveled makes it easier!
You’re approximately 50% through right now. It gets a bit dungeon-heavy soon, so just be ready for that!
The boss you’re facing is Evrae. A couple of strategies can help here: you can use Wakka’s Dark Buster to inflict the dark status on him, or employ Smoke Grenades for a guaranteed hit. Just remember, Yuna isn’t in your party during this fight, which can make it tougher since she usually handles healing. I recommend bringing Rikku with All Bhed Potions for reliable healing and maybe using Mix for powerful buffs like Super Mighty Guard if you have the right items. If you’re feeling under-leveled, check for grinding opportunities on the airship, but don’t stress too much; if you play to Evrae’s weaknesses and keep your healing up, it’s doable!
I thought entry to the Calm Lands was blocked until after beating Evrae! But yeah, if you’re on the airship, that might be your best spot to grind.
