This trophy/achievement is a huge grind, as you have to fill out the Sphere Grid for every single character. Doing this also includes all of the empty nodes, so you will need to farm the purple spheres from some of the fiends in the Monster Arena. Since you are going to be doing Penance, if you want all trophies/achievements, you will be pretty close to maxing out most stats for your characters. If you’ve already defeated Penance, then Magic Defense Spheres are the easiest to farm to fill in empty nodes.

Penance is the ultimate superboss of the game and requires you to grind out a lot of stats for your characters. You will want to max out Strength, Defense, Magic Defense, and possibly Accuracy and Agility before fighting it. You will need to defeat all of the Dark Aeons, then you will find a listing for it on your airship’s navigationg. For more information about the preparations for the battle against Penance, as well as the battle itself, click this link here (Penance).

In Luca, one of the towns in the game, there is a threater you can visit that allows you to purchase spheres to rewatch specific cutscenes and listen to the game’s music. The only problem is that you will have to purchase these spheres, which can be a bit expensive the first time you come across them. Once you gain access to the final story dungeon, all of the spheres will be available, with Movie Spheres costing 5,000 Gil each and Music Spheres costing 2,000 Gil each. In total, you will need 426,000 Gil to purchase all of them. Note that after purchasing all of the spheres from the NPC on the left, approach him again to find three more you have to buy. For tips on how to earn money, visit the Gil Grinding page.

Remiem Temple is an optional area accessible from the Calm Lands, after clearing the first Chocobo Training course. This allows you to ride a chocobo on the Calm Lands, so head up the ramp near the entrance to the Calm Lands and look for a feather on the right side. Interact with it to fly to the entrance to Remiem Temple. Once in the area, go to the right side and you will find a chocobo. Talking to the chocobo will allow you to start the race, where you need to make it to the bottom. Along the way, you will find chests and if you open a certain number, while still winning, then you will get prizes. For more information on how to easily get all 5 chests and still win, visit the Remiem Temple Walkthrough page.

The Thunder Plains is one of the locations within the game, where lightning will strike periodically. If you time a button press, you will be able to dodge the lightning strikes.

This can be very challenging, but it’s best to come back once you have No Encounters on an armor. For tips and tricks regarding this, visit the Lightning Dodging page.

Jecht Spheres are one of the collectables in Final Fantasy X, with them letting you learn new Overdrives for Auron. You don’t unlock them until you defeat Spherimorph in the main story, after which, you should make the long trek back to Besaid to pick up the one there. The reason for this is because a Dark Aeon will block the entrance to Besaid if you continue with the story. There’s a total of 10 Jecht Spheres in the game and for their locations, visit the Jecht Spheres page.

Al Bhed is a language in the world of Final Fantasy X and at the beginning of the game, you don’t understand a single word of it.

The Celestial Weapons are considered the ultimate weapons for the characters in the game. Not only do they come equipped with a preset ability loadout, but they are also the only weapons in the game that ignore enemy defenses. They are split into three parts, the actual weapon itself, then a Crest and a Sigil. In order to loot the weapon, you will need to obtain the Celestial Mirror first. You only need the weapons themselves to get the trophy/achievement, as you don’t need to actually need the Crests/Sigils. However, it’s in your best interests to fully power up the Celestial Weapons, as they come in handy in doing the optional content. Visit the following pages for details on how to acquire each weapon:

• Caladbolg
• Nirvana
• World Champion
• Onion Knight
• Spirit Lance
• Masamune
• Godhand

Catcher Chocobo is one of the more frustrating mini-games in Final Fantasy X, and completing it with a time of 0:00:00 is even more frustrating. It is the fourth course available in the Chocobo Training exercises in the Calm Lands, and requires both luck and skill in order to get it done right. Throughout the course are balloons you can collect, which will subtract three seconds from your timer. However, there are birds that will fly down and if you hit one of these, then three seconds will be added to your timer. So, the goal is to collect as many balloons as possible, while avoiding all of the birds. For tips and tricks, visit the link above. Note that you will need a time below 0:00:00 in order to get the Sun Sigil for Tidus’ Celestial Weapon.

There is a total of eight Aeons in the game, with five of them given to you during the main story. The other three Aeons are optional, though, so you will have to go through some things in order to get them. For the optional Aeons, visit the following pages to learn how to get them:

• Anima
• Yojimbo
• Magus Sisters

The Magus Sisters are an optional Aeon that you can get in the game, who are quite powerful. In order to get them, you need to do two things. The first is to collect one of every fiend on Mount Gagazet, which will get you the Blossom Crown. The second thing is to go to Remiem Temple and fight Belgemine’s Aeons, until you get to and defeat her Bahamut. You will be rewarded with the Flower Scepter for doing this. Once you have both items, head to the sealed door behind Belgemine and use them to unlock the seal, letting you recruit the Magus Sisters.

Anima is an optional Aeon in the game, which involves you doing a lot of things in order to get her. To start, you have to collect all of the Destruction Sphere treasures in the temples, two of which you will want to do on your main story visits, due to Dark Aeons blocking the entrances later. Once you have done all of that, continue in the main story until you gain full control of the airship. Uncover Baaj Temple and defeat the boss there, than enter the temple. Interact with the statues on the sides, which will light up if you have collected the Destruction Sphere treasures. Once all six are lit up, the way to the Chamber of the Fayth will be open, where you will get Anima.

Seymour Omnis is a boss you will fight during the main story, in the final story dungeon.

Note that you are guaranteed a steal on the first attempt, then the chance will be cut in half on each attempt after the first successful one.

The trophy/achievement will pop at the end of the movie. Note that there is no requirement to view this, but it’s a good idea to play the game first if you haven’t.

Yojimbo is one of three optional Aeons in the game, with him residing in the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, an optional dungeon available right before entering Mount Gagazet.

You get to play one game during the main story (you don’t need to win it), but after that, it is completely optional and accessible from any Save Sphere. If you plan on doing everything in the game, then this will come naturally, as Wakka’s Overdrives and Jupiter Sigil are tied to Blitzball.

The Jecht Shot is one of the best shooting techniques for Blitzball, although you have to learn it outside of Blitzball. While on the S.S. Winno, on the way to Luca, you will have an opportunity to learn the Jecht Shot by interacting with the ball on the deck. You will need to press the corresponding direction on the directional pad, in conjunction with the X/A/B button, whenever the sentences appear on your screen. If you hit enough of them, you will learn the Jecht Shot. Note that if you miss it during the main story, you can reboard the boat in Kilika to try again.

This is a cutscene that occurs during the main story, right before entering the Calm Lands.
