Tips; Easy AP: fight as many goons as you want when your chasing after ????, and you'll gain much potions, EXP, and AP. And usign items in battle nets you AP
Fiends/Enemies: Goon (hp 29, AP:1, Gil: 30, She-Goon (HP: 7, AP: 1, Gil: 30),(????), (HP: 82, AP1, Gil: 100), Logos (HP: 86, AP: 1, Gil: 60), Ormi (HP 97, AP: 1, Gil: 60), Leblanc (HP: 130, AP: 2, Gil: 180)
Objectories: Defeat the Imposter, Follow her the third dock, outside the stadium, defeat Leblanc and her henchment.
The game starts with an excellent job of an FMV, Real Emotion by Jade of Sweetbox in the english version, Koda Kumi of the Japanese Version. They introduce the characters and some guards getting injured. After the FMV ends you face ? or the imposter of Yuna, Paine and Rikku share a few words with the imposter. She summons two goons for help in "boss battle".
Boss Straegy: Steal from her first you get a Hi-potion, since you can' get them this early in the game unless your on the New Game Plus, you can pilfer 300 gil from her as well in new game plusl. Once you do that she'll cast Ectasy on her henchmen and thunder on you, maybe attacking you. Her henchmen will attack you, steal some budget grenades off the goons and use them, one will nearly kill both henchmen. It'll do some damage to her since it hit's all. Attack in chains for greater amounts of damage, it's only Rikku and Paine in this fight. After you win you'll see the imposter getting away and will get your EXP, AP, and prizes and gil. You will then have to run after her. Your going to be attack by lots of goons, but theyr'e easy to kill, and it's an easy way to learn abilities, you should soon see a moogle and go up to it for a healing it's extra percentage points for later. Once you get to the third dock you'll fight Ormi and Logos. Yune will appear and go trigger happy, they then will do their pose of 'YRP'. AFter that the fight begins.
Boss Strategy: Logos: HP: 86, Ormi: HP: 86 Steal from them both (Iron Bangle: Hp+20%, and Silver Glasses: guards against darkness) try stealing gil from them you should have gotten pilfer gil ability after beating all those goons and gaining ap. Get rid of Logos' first since his gun attacks are quick and can cause lots of damage, He occasionally uses a potion on himself but that hasn't happened to me in the how many times I played it though. Ormis attack takes longer to prepare and causes more damage, but try to interupt his attacking. Chains attacks will beat him. You get potion or phoenix down from both of them. Now they'll whine and say "sorry" and the imposter appears. She shows herself and throws the garment grid and the gullwings catch it. They share some words and the fight begins. Battle Strategy: Leblanc HP: 130, okay press L1 and have Yuan change into the Songstress Dress sphere, then cast darkness and Leblancs' attacks will miss She'll cast thunder on you, but it won't do much damage. You can change Rikku and paine into other dress spheres if you want to. Keep using Darkness Dance when Yuna's turns come up. Steal from Leblanc and get a Silver Bracer, and pilfer gil is 500 gil from her. Keep attack and casting Darkness Dance on her and she'll be beaten in know. She says some stuff and they run like the cowards they are.

Speak to Paine, Rikku, Brother, and Shin-ra on the bridge. RIde the elevator to the Cabin level, talk to Barkeep and choose rest (you'll see why later), ride the elevator to the bridge, but you can go to the engine room to pick up some items if you so desire. Once you go the bridge you'll have a seen and then talk to buddy and direct the Celcius to Mt. Gagazet.

Okay the opening FMV is Yuna getting dizzy and falls over the thin surface, Paine and Rikku catch her and get her up onto the surface. It starts out giving you some jumping and climbing tutorials, follow your party members, and when you get to the second jumping part fall first so you can get the yellow ring.
Climb back up and jump across. You'll then have to run down some stairs, After you do that save at the save point and make sure your party is equipped with what you have. Now that's done run to the side and you'll be on a lift, and move to the shiny thing. Press the button and make sure you wanna go down. After a bit Yuna says: "I wonder if this is safe".
It starts out slow then drops suddenly making the girls scream. The lift lands and Rikku groans in pain. Brothers speaks and a few shared words later, he jumps ship. Now then hop across till your on a landed that has two levels. One's a low leverl which your on and the other is a higher level.
Climb up it and open the chest there, now you got your Elixir. Jump down and run to an area where it looks like there are stairs. Climb up them and your in a new area of the floating ruins. Continue on forward till another FMV starts, YRP here's some sounds and see's it's the Leblanc Syndicate that was following them. (Coughstalkercough).
Boss: Leblance(120), Logos(100), and Ormi (130)
Kay make sure you have a songstress in your party if not, have one of your party members change into one and cast Darkness Dance on the trio. Now that's on them their attacks will miss with a high probability. Have a thief to steal some gil and some items if you want you can make a lot of gil here and can gain some good items early in the game. Have your thief change into a gunner or a warrior and use chain attacks to take out Lelanc first since she uses magic and can affect the whole party. Then get rid of Logo's the same way you got rid of Leblanc, and repeat with Ormi. (This battle is very, very easy)
Now that's done the timer starts to reach the top of the ruins, run down the ruined highway till the end to get a mega phoeix, and yes it's possible to get all the items in the time limit of 5 minutes. Go back till you see a place where you can jump down, then run up and climb the wall thingy. Note the timer stops during random events and battles.
As you reach the temple entrance Ormi talks and you fight some goods. Dispatched them quickloy and easily and enter the temple. (I'm not gonna go into detail of the other items) continue on and don't get into the pits you'll have to climb out and that take's some time. Continue on till you here Leblanc complain about the damp. Now run forward when you reach the exit, and turn right and run.
If you encounter any divebeaks steal some ethers from them (It restores 100MP to a single character). You'll then see a fallen temple piller. But you have to fight the goons first, get rid of them and then run across the fallen pillar till the sign for jump appears (O) press that and you'll jump up, now climb some things till you see a path going around, go straight then left like in a circle to get a Star Pendent, and then return back till you can jump to a slanted pillar.
Run up it and note this; you can't go back unless you re-vist the ruins. Now Climb up until you see an FMV. If you beat them to the top you'll get the muscle belt in the chest close to the ledge, if not then you don't get it. But either way you'll see Leblanc holding tight to not fall, and ormi holding on to her leg, with logo's holding onto's Ormis' leg.
The two boys look up her outfit which is the Lady Luck Dressphere. It looks to be as if she's a blushing a bit (Such lechers), she then tells them to stop staring and now when that ends open up the chest, and make sure you saved at the Save point nearby.
Once all that's done go run up the stairs and an FMV will start up and a Boris will stare at and jump down. Rikku says: "It figures it'd come to this" or something like that.
Boss: Boris (480)
have a songtress cast darkness on Boris to limit his attacks, and make sure to have a thief if you want a thief to pilfer a lot of gil and some items, change your thief into an attacker and attack, and your third character should be an attacker since you don't got a healer yet unless you count the items. A single attack by him can do up to about 50 damage so the darkness dance helps a lot.
Use a potion on a character with HP under 70 to avoid getting KO'd. If it uses his Sticky End attack check to see if your parties ATB Gauges turned grey, if so then they're stopped, you can't make any turns until it's gone. You can use a remedy or let it wear off. Other than that attack till he dies and turns into pyreflies. You win a Star Pendent for the fight with some good EXP kind of.
Enter the chamber and htey Gullwings find the sphere that has been detected, Leblanc appears now discheveled (I wonder why...?) she says it's a dud and calls the Gullwings Dullwings and leaves. They trop does their pose and then leaves the chamber the sphere with them.
The airship appears and they get on of course, another FMV appears and Brother's laying on the ground of the Celcius on the Bridge. It appears he has jumped ship (I wonder why...? could it do with Yuna perhaps?)
If you walk up to him you get the choice to choose to Comfort him or Leave him. If you chose comfort him he tries to hug Yuna, but Rikku kicks him calling him "Sicko". He falls back and now you have control over Yuna once again. (If you chose the former it's counts as part of your percenteage. Talk to Shinra and they find out it's only shows the filming of the Floating Ruins, and Paine says: "It's a dud".
Shinra turns it into the Blackmage Dressphere, so now you can use black magic. Talk to buddy and you find out the Besaid, Kilika, and Zanarkand are hotspots. If you choose Zanarkand after exploring Besaid you miss out on a lot of percentage points and start the Kilika Sphere Hunt.
