Captain Lucil in Final Fantasy X.

In Final Fantasy X, on your way from the city of Luca, you will come across two Crusaders asking you for a donation, but should you give them your money? Here’s what happens when you donate to Operation Mi’ihen in FFX.

In Final Fantasy X, you come across Mi’ihen Highroad, a dirt-covered path with open plains that ends at Mushroom Rock Road. You are required to take this road to get to Djose, all while dealing with fiends which you can avoid by simply riding on a Chocobo.

On the road, you also have to defeat various enemies such as Bomb, Mi’ihen Fang, and more. You also encounter two Crusaders at the North end of the Highroad who ask you to donate them some Gil for an operation.

Here’s whether you should donate to Operation Mi’ihen in FFX.

What is Operation Mi’ihen in FFX?

In FFX, Operation Mi’ihen is an operation to defeat Sin, the main antagonist of the game. It is led by Al Bhed, a tribe of technologists, and the Crusaders, a volunteer organization fighting Sin.

Since the rewards you get are either commonly found or are cheaper, we suggest not donating to the Crusaders. Instead, you can donate 10001 Gil to O’aka, further down the road, and get a 30% discount on all the items offered by him.

That was all you need to know about Operation Mi’ihen and whether you should donate to it. For more on other games in the Final Fantasy series, have a look at:
