Icon   : Puppet Bear
Story  : Story Level 3, Story Level 5
Found  : If you visited Kimahri in Story Levels 1 and 2, Kimahri will
give you this Dressphere when you begin the "Stop Ronsos"
mission in Story Level 3.
2h. [Magic Gunner]
Name   : Magic Gunner
Romaji : majûshi
Icon   : Gun on Red Background
Story  : Story Level 1
Found  : Head to the Moonflow. To the right of your landing point is a
short man who asks you to look for his caravan along the road
leading to the river. Head down, and you'll see the blue guy
there. Stay with him, and drive away all the bandits, and you'll
get the Magic Gunner Dressphere once you clear the mission.
Found  : Completely skip the Moonflow on Story Level 1 (do not go to it at
all). After Yuna's Dance in Story Level 2, go to the Moonflow and
help to sell tickets and you will be able to get it. You can also
gain a powerful accessory called "Kyûso neko kami" by pushing the red
Penguin-like (fast moving) guy into the elevator. When you have less
that half of your HP, the accessory causes all attack/healing to do
9999 HP. When combined with Quick Hit, this becomes extremely
powerful. Even if you cancel the Moonflow on Story Level 1 you will
not be able to get the "Kyûso neko kami".
Note   : "Kyûso neko kami" means something like:
"A cornered mouse will bite the cat", meaning even the smallest
creatures will fight back if they have no other option.
2i. [Dark Knight]
Name   : Dark Knight
Romaji : dâku naito
Icon   : Skull
Story  : Story Level 2 (?)
Found  : This can be found in the mission (Under Bevelle) where you are
looking for the Vegnagun. *sorry if this wasn't clear before*
Found in a treasure chest standing on its own right before the
fight with Baralai. To activate blocks to get there, the key is
in the triple lifters a little before (two on either side, a purple
one in the center). If the left lifter is up, the right is down,
the purple one will go to a different location, and vice versa.
Each of these locations has this standing block which then activates
the blocks to rise to the path to the chest containing the Dressphere.
2j. [Gambler]
Name   : Gambler
Romaji : gyanburâ
Icon   : Dice
Story  : Story Level 3
Found  : Go to Luca during Story Level 3. Challenge one of the players in the

final.

Calm Lands for Story Level 2. Defeat the boss and you will get
the Sphere.

Story  : Story Level 2
Found  : You must be in Story Level 2, now travel to Guadosalam. Talk to the
Guards at front of the House [Where Seymour was in FFX], and then
you will notice that you cannot get past these Guards without having
a disguise. Now travel through Guadosalam to Djose Temple [Ride ze
Shoopuf and go through where you can see a deserted area with some
Al Bhed's.]. You can try to get the guidelines for Rikku's Machina
Muzzle with this path, but go down the long deserted path where you
can see an Al Bhed and Guards next to some Machina. Then you should
see a red sphere on the path, pick it up and you'll get "Flora
Fleur". But you'll have to fight Uno and Sano who will give you
Rikku's Disguise at the end.

3. Section 3 - [FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS]
Q.   If I miss a Dressphere in Story Level 1, can I get it in Story Level 2?
A.   I'm not sure. Apparently, you CAN go back to locations to get
Dresspheres if you miss them, other than one specific linked-story one
(the Magic Gunner). If you do miss one, you can get it again by playing
through on New Game +.
Q.   What's New Game +?
New Game + allows you to restart the game with all of your collected
Items, abilities, Dresspheres and Story % once you finish the game
once.
Q.   In Mi'ihen Highroad, how do you catch the Chocobo for that girl? The
Chocobo seems to run off whenever I approach it.
A.   You'll need help from a certain someone who drives a certain popular
vehicle... hopefully that's enough of a big hint.
A2.  Just grab the feather and when the time shows up stop grabbing and
run forward and chase the Chocobo. When Rikku tells you to go that
way, say NO!
Q.   How do I use my Special Dressphere's once I've collected them?
A.   Activate all of the Dresspheres in battle then press L1 and
there should be an "R1 Special Dress-up" option. Press R1 then
move to any Dressphere (they've all become the Special Dressphere).
N.   There's a special Result Plate with only 2 slots on it making
activating the Special Dresspheres a lot easier. The disadvantage
is that you don't get any bonuses.
Q.   What about the Dancer/Pop-star Job?
A.   Dancer and Pop-star are both mistranslations of [utahime], or Singer.
Q.   Isn't Mascot just a mistranslation of Singer?
A.   No, Mascot [kîgurumîshi] is a seperate job. At first, Mascot was
believed to be a mistranslation of [utahime], or Singer. This was
proven to be false a while ago.
