Dresspheres, often shortened to "spheres", are the key of the job system in Final Fantasy X-2. Each character must have one and only one active sphere at all times. Which sphere is active can be changed any time (though in battle, changing a character's active sphere takes up their turn).
Dresspheres are not equipped directly, but placed in Garment Grids which are equipped directly. The character will then have access to all of the dresspheres in the equipped Garment Grid.
New dresspheres are acquired throughout the game's storyline. Below is a quick reference guide on how to get all of them and each sphere’s general use or theme.
