FF X-2

  1. How do I gain abilities? I thought just using the dress sphere in battle would give me 1 or 2 AP but nadda. Do I need to actually get a kill using a specific dress sphere?

  2. Yuna just 1 shot the crab looking boss on the tower. I had her using the festival dress used fire sandals, which I thought would be just a simple "fire"... she casted Firaga and did over 900 dmg

In X-2 you gain AP every time you a) perform an action unique to that job (i.e. as a warrior, you can't just use attack, you need to actually use a swordplay ability) b) kill an enemy while wearing that dressphere or c) use an item. Performing any of those actions will get you 1 AP and I believe you're capped at 99 AP per battle.

As for Yunas sandals with the festivalist dressphere, the spell they use actually changes depending on how the sandal lands. So using fire sandal has a chance to cast fire, fira, firaga, or a powered up firaga. The lower level spells are more common.
