do you have to pay yojimbo to attack?

In FFX i recently got the aeon, yojimbo for a price of 1,910,000 (the nerve of that aeon!). i lost most of my credits and now i only have 1,500 gil. so i decided to check how strong this aeon could be. his introduction in battle is dramatic and to my surprise, his magic gauge is zero! to my surprise, you only got two options: either to pay him or dismiss him in battle. is he always like this? how about if overdrive modes, do you have to pay him for that attack. i only summoned him once and spent 100gil for an attack then dismissed him (i'm saving up my gils for support items just in case). by the way, his attacks varries to the amount/value you pay? do you have to pay yojimbo to attack?
Wow you overpayed for him. You should have looked up him on Gamefaqs so you can see how you're supposed to hustle him for a lower price. And yes he asks for pay to attack everytime. I simply gave him 1 gil all the time, and he gave me satisfactory results. do you have to pay yojimbo to attack?

[/QUOTE] whaaaaat!! he offered me his services for 2,500,000 and he asked again for 2,000,000. and finally down to 1,910,000. how about his overdrive attacks, will you still pay for it?
I recently paid for his services too. I didnt want to let him go since I wanted to get all the aeons, but once I summoned him in battle and found out I had to pay him again I immediately dismissed him. Havent summoned him since. :P
The only 2 reasons you get him 1. Required for certain things and full completion. 2. Cheesy 1 hit kills on bosses assuming you pay enough.

Hey,You have to at least pay Yojimbo 1gil for him to do anything, paying him 1gil will probably trigger his weakest attack in which he uses his pet dog to attack for him (his weakest attack is still pretty good tho)To make him do better moves you have to pay him quite a bit more money, I've heard depending on what stage of the game your at and how much gil you have personally will effect how much gil is needed for which attack. Reminder - He only uses 3-4 attacks Hope this helped, Visit my profile and leave a comment if it did :D
