AboutTrey McGowan Expertise I can answer strategy questions for just about any video games. RPGs and collecting/raising sims are my major specialty, though I am also experienced in general strategy games, a variety of MMORPGs, and possibly even some much more esoteric ones. I can't promise that I'll be able to answer all your questions from personal experience, but I can promise that if I can't, I will do my utmost to research the answer before I give it to you.
Best consoles to ask about: NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Playstation, Playstation II. If you are asking outside of this list, please give a little extra time for some research to be done on the game.
Please note: if you are wanting a particular version of strategy (i.e. a *fast* playthrough, a powerful playthrough, a challenge game, a specific boss beat in a specific way), make sure the details are added. The more I know about what *you* want to know, the better.
Experience I am an avid player of video games of various types, including RPGs, strategy games, MMORPGs, et cetera. I have been playing since the Atari 1300 days, and even back then, learning the strategy and the like of the games was as interesting as beating it.

Expert: Trey McGowan Date: 7/11/2008 Subject: I need help getting anima
Question QUESTION: In the Baaj temble there are 6 statues and the first one on the left is not lightning up. How do i get it to light up.
ANSWER: Hi there, Matthew!
In order to get Anime, you need to get *all* the other summons up until that point. If one of them is not lighting up, then you have missed one. The summons you need for it are: Valefor, Ifrit, Shiva, Ixion, Yojimbo, and Bahamut. Get all of those, and she will be open to you!

QUESTION: Yeah i did all that and the first one on the left will not light up. All if the others will light up.
Answer Hi again, Matthew!
Well, at first I said 'Huh?' about this. Then I refreshed my memory with the game and I went 'OOOHHHH!'
To get this to light up, you must have gathered all the *Destruction Spheres* from the temples. Which means you need to return to one of them and gain the sphere so you can get the treasure and activate Anima. I hope you remember which one you missed!
.... no. I wouldn't be that cruel. :) I'm not sure if first means 'Top left' or 'Bottom left', so I'll give you both: top is Besaid's Temple, and Bottom is Kilika Temple. Go from there!
Sorry for the misleading information in the first answer, and the second one should get you *much* further than that. Good luck with your Anima-summoning! Again!
