STADIUM
In the beginning, you'll see a short FMV with all the characters shown. After that, it's onto the stadium. There, our hero is being greeted by his fans since he is a Blitz Ball star. Now, you'll be able to take control of him for the first time. Try to familiarize yourself on how to move the character. I suggest using the analog controller for ease of use. Then,go south towards the screen and talk either to the 2 girls or the children. You'll be asked for the name of our hero. Let us use his default name, Tidus. You may then talk to the other persons here. After that, a cue for the start of the game will be heard. Tidus will leave. When you regain control of him, just head east. You'll be able to hear the voice of Tidus himself. You'll now notice that Tidus is actually narrating his story. Move on to the next screen. Here, Tidus will be at the center of the crowd. Just go north towards the building. You'll then see another FMV. A short while later, a disaster will happen. You'll be able to regain control of Tidus once more. This time, check out the small map on the upper left corner of your screen. Take note that there is a red arrow there. It is actually the exact point where you need to go to in order to advance in the game/story. Now, go south to that point and meet up and talk with Auron. You'll then see a short time-stopped event. You'll also be introduced to "Sin" by Auron. After that, you'll have to fight your way through the spawns. Just attack them normally. Later, you'll meet up with a boss.

BOSS: SINSPAWN AMMES
HP: 2,200+ AP: 0 Gil: 0 Items: None Equip: None Attacks: Demi Steal: NA
This is easy. Just use normal attacks and perform Overdrives when possible. Just try to finish the battle quickly since Demi will cut off quite a chunk of your HPs. After that, follow Auron while fighting on the way. You may save your game in the save sphere here. When the enemies just keep on coming, hit the machine on the right to destroy the ground and give a chance for you to evade them. But then, it seems fate laid its hand on Tidus and he is sucked inside Sin along with Auron.

RUINS
Treasures: Potion, 200 Gil, Hi-Potion x2, Flints, X-Potions, Ether, Withered Bouquet
You're now on another world it seems. First, familiarize yourself with in-water navigation. Pressing the Circle button will let Tidus dive. Now, head to a location where you see a boy. After that, you'll be in a ruin area. Here, go west for an Al Bhed Comp. Sphere. You'll be able to use it later in the game. Near this is a chest with a Potion. Go back to the water and head east. Get 200 Gil from a chest there. Finally, go north towards the Red Indicator on the map and you'll eventually reach the first Save Sphere of the game. Don't hesitate, just save your game.

BOSS: GEOSGAENO
HP: 500+ AP: 0 Gil: 0 Items: None Equip: None Attacks: Normal Physical Attacks Steal: NA
Again, here's another easy one. Just use normal attacks against it. Use Potions if necessary. After a scene, go north and go up the stairs at the end. You'll be in a main hall. It's cold here so you'll need fire. First, go southwest and you'll see a Save Sphere. Save if you'd like. Then, use the south door and get the Flints inside. Next, in the main hall, get a X-Potion to the east. Use the northern door. Here, get an Ether to the Lower Left area. Then, continue north. On top, get the Withered Bouquet. Continue to the next screen and get another Hi-Potion. Now, head back to the main hall and examine the center. You'll see a couple of scenes here with a battle. Some people will arrive in here.

BOSS: KLIKK
HP: 1,500+ AP: 5 Gil: 100 Items: Ability Sphere x2 Equip: None Attacks: Normal Physical Attacks Steal: Grenade
In this battle, the woman is on your side. Use her grenades to inflict a sufficient amount of damage to Klikk. As for Tidus, just let him attack normally and use Potions. Also, if you run out of grenades, you can steal some from Klikk. Just use the woman's steal ability.
After that, they will take you on their ship afterwards.
