Episode Complete List
Achieving "Episode Complete!" in Final Fantasy X-2 is crucial for maximizing your Story Completion percentage and unlocking various rewards. This section details the specific requirements for each region to earn that coveted "Complete!" status. Remember, some regions have multiple possible outcomes, and not all lead to Episode Complete. Pay close attention to dialogue choices and mission objectives! Earning Episode Complete in a region means you've fully resolved the main storyline or significant side quest for that location within the current chapter.
Important Note on Rewards: Many Dresspheres and Garment Grids are obtained through initial mission completion or specific actions, not necessarily tied directly to the "Episode Complete!" notification itself. This guide clarifies when a reward is truly linked to the Episode Complete status versus being an earlier acquisition during the mission chain.
