What's the mythology of Ribbon? Is it just a gag that a ribbon protects you from everything?
I just think back in the early days when names were simpler Ribbon was the thing thing that protected you from all the statuses. And it just hung around.
Ribbon was originally exclusive to the Dancer job. I think that's why it was a ribbon.
Nah, Ribbon's been around since the first game. Took up the helmet slot. The idea was that it had a terrible defence rating because, you know, not armour, but it resisted just about everything.
So how do people normally go for their customized end-game armors? I'm a big fan of auto-haste, but I've never really done any of the more high-end optional bosses cause I always run out of patience after a few days of farming bosses.
I did just get a Ribbon/BHPL armor for Rikku on my first shot with Yojimbo, and I was thinking of auto-hasting it, but didn't know if that would be a waste instead of Auto-Med or something.
edit:Auto-potion I guess. Auto-med is useless with ribbon.

I went with BHPL, Ribbon, Auto-Haste and Auto-Phoenix. Last two are perfect for Penance.
So, at a playtime of 96:59, I am finally ready to enter Mt. Gagazet for the first time.
I'm a little insane.
I farmed Dark Yojimbo (using Zanmato) over 250 times (for about 15-20 hours) and ended up with BHPL + Ribbon for Lulu, Wakka, Auron, and Tidus. I also got 198 Dark Matters in that period of time and customized Ribbon to BHPL + 3-Slot that I got for Khimari and Yuna. Unfortunately, I did not get a BHPL + 3-Slot or BHPL + Ribbon for Rikku but I figure I can use the 99 Dark Matters I get once I unlock Nemesis.
I also farmed enough Chocobo Wings from King Cactuar to add Auto-Haste to each of those 6 armors. I also added Auto-Haste to a BHPL + Curseproof armor I got for Rikku so she wouldn't fall behind.

The majority consensus seems to be as follows regarding ultimate armors.
If you are going with a BHPL build, then:
1) With less than ~70,000 HP, BHPL + Ribbon + Auto-Haste + Auto-Protect is the ideal armor.
2) With more than 70,000 HP, BHPL + Ribbon + Auto-Haste + Auto-Regen is the ideal armor.
3) Ribbon is "useless" for Penance, so for that fight, BHPL + Auto-Haste + Auto-Protect + Auto-Regen is the ideal armor.
Finally, if you're NOT going for a BHPL build, then I would *personally* recommend (I can't find any particular consensus on an ideal non-BHPL build): Ribbon + Auto-Haste + Auto-Protect + Auto-Phoenix.
Also: Stoneproof is generally considered an acceptable alternative to Ribbon if you cannot stomach the grind.
I'm personally going for #2 above (BHPL + Ribbon + Auto-Haste + Auto-Regen). I'm already 3/4 there for 6 of my party. I'll get Auto-Regen for all of them once I unlock Kottos.

Auto-Haste is a must have. It has so much utility. It's also relatively easy to farm for. I'd slap Auto-Haste on trash armor if that's all I had available.

Woooo! Yunalesca has fallen! Now to go wander the world! Let's go back to Besaid to vis...
That crater tip really helped. The easiest/earliest way to get no encounters gear is to capture a ghost in the cave after the calm lands. Then just fight it in the arena till it drops one.
Apparently it's a tournament prize for attack, league prize for status, tournament prize for Aurochs, and league prize for the Sigil
I wasn't really aware of how any of that shit worked though so I was just going through league play until tournaments lighted up and my plan was to do this forever apparently
I just tried resetting though and it reset everything, which means my hired players were gone
So I had to do a soft reset
I am pulling my hair out
EDIT: Found this
The next overdrive that will appear will be the Status Reels overdrive. It will appear as the first place prize for league play. There are two prerequisites for its appearance: (1) you must have previously won the Attack Reels overdrive in tournament play and (2) Wakka must have participated in 250 or more battles.
Assuming you have met the prerequisites, finish the current league season and be sure to [Save] immediately after the last game of the season. Next reopen the blitzball menu and check the league prize list. If the league prize list shows Status Reels as the first prize (and only if), [Save] to fix the league prize list. If the league prize list does not show Status Reels as the first prize, [Soft Reset] to try again. Continue until you see the first prize you want.
After Status Reels have been acquired, the next overdrive will be Aurochs Reels. There are two prerequisites to be satisfied for Aurochs Reels to appear as a tournament first prize: (1) you must have previously won Status Reels in league play and (2) Wakka must have been involved in 450 or more battles.
Assuming you have met the prerequisites, watch for the next available tournament after the current league season completes. Check the prize list to see if Aurochs Reels appear as the first prize. If so [Save] to fix the prize list and play the tournament. If Aurochs Reels does not appear as the first prize, use [Soft Reset] until the prize you want appears.
And, finally, after all four overdrives have been obtained, the Jupiter Sigil will appear as the first prize in league play. The league season must begin after the tournament in which the Auroch Reels overdrive was won. Apply the procedure discussed against the Status Reels overdrive acquisition to set the league first prize to the Jupiter Sigil.
And, just in case you are wondering, Wakka does not have to be on your blitzball team for all the overdrive prizes to appear.
I told myself I was going to work at getting some of the Blitzball stuff this time around, since I avoided it like the plague each time that I played the original.
Something tells me it ain't happening this time either.
Blitzball goes from being frustratingly annoying with the Aurochs to incredibly boring when you have a good team put together
There is no middle ground, it is always shitty
At least I'm winning now
I get the ball to Kyou, he has a stupid high endurance and pass stat, lure two or three of their players to him in the upper left, they all break against him, he takes it, passes to Tidus in the lower left, Jecht Shot

Did you remember to get the Sun Crest after Yunalesca died?
Yes. I did not remember about dark valefor

Don't feel too bad. Lightning dodging is bullshit before you have an accessory with no encounters.
For an HD remaster of games over a decade old, that's not bad at all
Glad people seemed to latch onto it
Rikku and all of Yuna's Aeons win MVP of the fight.
I'm glaring at you so hard right now.

I still feel completely helpless outside of the Jecht Shot, but it's working so far
I've already gotten Attack Reels
My team is currently:
Tidus
Kyou
Brother
Ropp
Wedge
Jamal

If that's true I've already wasted so much time

I CAUGHT ALL THE CREATURES IN MI'IHEN TRYING TO GET AURON'S SIGIL BUT THEN I WALKED INTO MUSHROOM ROCK ROAD
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
Great.
The only Aurochs I kept were Jassu and Keepa.
I have since remedied the situation.
Yeah, that's who I picked up.
Right now my team is:
LF/MF/RF = Tidus/Brother/Wedge
LD/RD = Jassu/Ropp
GK = Jumal
I'm gonna switch Jassu out for Zalitz when I boot the game up next time.
Do not do this to me! Share the warnings!

I haven't had a goal scored against me yet
When you go into Mushroom Rock Road, there'll be a priestess there (she looks like Belinda) arguing with someone
Don't talk to them because it activates Dark Magus Sisters and they were doing 99999 to me with every hit
