Square Enix Small Ronso!

What makes Khimari advantageous is that he starts off in the middle of the map in the US release. (International players have a choice from starting in the middle, or where they belong in the grid.) But, this is offset by the fact that he actually doesn't gain a lot of anything within his own area of the grid. I mean, honestly, most of the stuff you have to get are key spheres for the ronso. That sucks.

He is also the only other party member who can cast the Mighty Guard styled spells. So, if Rikku's out for the count...he's the only other option. Well, that and it's PART of his limit...so you don't have to potentially sacrifice two key customizing items.

So, yes, I don't like him much. Besides, I'm not too partial on the ronso's character design.

 

I agree with Quisty. Kimahri is one of the few characters I can actually tolerate in FFX.

Something about Tidus and Yuna's stares make them look drugged all the time to me - and the english dub we got stuck with for them is very annoying on those characters.

Kimahri's big benefits are:

-he has few lines, which is why his dub doesn't suck.
-as Izzy said, he starts at the center of the sphere grid, meaning you can tailor him however you want. As I'm a fan of Black Magic, I've had him following pretty close behind Lulu's trail.

Worst Lancer and Blue Mage, eh? Not a very big argument, considering those classes are on the scale of lesser usefulness...

 

I guess he's referring to the fact that Khimari can only use the Jump command if he's at Overdrive. But, looking at the Battle Scheme and how easy it is to rack up massive damage...I believe it's better to keep it that way. But, it does make him look like a terrible Dragoon/Lancer character.

 

Easiest way to beat Nemesis is to change your party, sadly enough. I beat Nemesis when all my characters had no damage done to them. Of course, this was with the help of the Aeons. Having all three party members come with Quick Hit helps a lot, too.

Anyway, equip your characters with Armor that has the Auto-Phoenix ability, just to be safe. Heck, do what I did and ALSO put Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell, just in case the big thing gets a hit in.

Just keep quick-hitting it when the fight begins. If you have 255 Speed stats, you should probably get something around 20 or so turns before Nemesis does. Make sure you have Yuna in your party, and summon out an Aeon on her last turn before Nemesis' next one. Bringing out that Aeon usually nets it the first attack in the sequence, so having them in overdrive helps quit a bit. Anyway, have the Aeon take the brunt of the damage from Nemesis, meaning...Sacrifice your aeon so you can keep wailing on Nemesis. Repeat the process as many times as is necessary.

I had to use ALL my Aeons before finally getting to the final few rounds and being able to beat him. In all honesty, having a Break HP Limit does NOTHING to this battle, as all your Aeons are taking the hits anyway. I'd rather put something USEFUL in that armor slot...like, Auto-Haste or something.

Khimari is actually QUITE useless in this battle. I'd rather use Wakka (for his Attack Reels, especially the Auroch Reels one....) or Rikku or Lulu, as they have multi-hit overdrives. Tidus isn't a must, but he's one of the easier people to get their Ultimate Weapons for. Try this too, use Auron's Overdrive that causes all 4 breaks on Nemesis. NO creature in the game is immune to all 4 breaks at once, when Auron uses it. So, use that to your advantage.
