You get area creations with capturing one of each fiend from an area, and species creations for one of each fiend within a species type. You need ten total. At least I think that's it.
I bet somewhere someone has calculated the shortest route, but I just captured a bunch of everything.
I had to use the crater trick to get it even with equipment with disable encounters.
I forgot that I had to get the content of the chest to trigger the trophy and I was really angry when I got hit.
so its one monster from every area?
Nope, not wasting my time again with you. There are videos and screenshots all over the net, just compare the most detailed models for yourself.

Operation Mihen
was a complete failure.... Makes me sad for all the Chocobos and members of the crusaders that died. Wonder if it was part of Seymour's plan to weaken Spira.

I'm at
and the loudspeaker always sounds like it's saying "I'm annoying, huh?"
Yes, yes you are.
Rikku's home
Yes, yes you are.

Isn't that the only way to get the best ending?
There are more annoying speakers than that.
Ah, fuck it. Just to check how you'll react. It's not like it's particularly hard to find on the net anyway (not that you'd bother, I guess, but oh well).

Original emulated (but with a terrible screen ratio... what's the point??)

Me too.
I feel your pain with that.
(Now imagine getting 0.0 and NOT getting the Sun Sigil because you didn't get below that. I was livid.)
The Butterfly Chasing minigame got me nearly as pissed off.

I just got to the end of Macalania forest. I also beat the Goers for the first time. Woo! 
But damn this game is still amazing.
I expected to get bored rather quickly considering I've already beaten it multiple times and probably sunk 150+ hours into the game, but here I am almost 15 hours into the game since Saturday and enjoying every minute.
I didn't even get annoyed by the random battles, I used every character every time and I spoke to every NPC around.
And NOTHING really nothing feels like a chore.
I expected so much less as I was so much younger the last time I played through the game, but it's still very magical despite all the weird pauses in dialog as well as the weird animations.
Everything in this game feels completely coherent to me. I know many people complain that the game is too linear, but I feel like there's so many subtleties to explore(e.g. When you can chose to eavesdrop on Wakka and Lulu, tons of optional conversations like the one with Luzzu
or the way you can sometimes choose what you're going to say) that you never feel like you walk along one path, which is basically the exact opposite of FFXIII (Being able to get anywhere by airship also helps, I guess ).
I can really recommend Expert Sphere Grid to everyone it's just really a lot more fun if you can choose in what way you want to skill your character. To me it's still one of the best skill systems ever. I'm making Kimahri a full on black mage this time and he kicks ass. He always used to suck during my other playthroughs. Yuna is probably still the best character if you just give some black magic she gets extremely good pretty quick!
I noticed that way too late in my very first playthrough of the game, but I've been quick to make her learn it every time since.
I'm kinda dissapointed in Tidus right now though, he used to always be just a bit weaker than Auron, but right now he's kinda low on Strength, but he's already got Slowga so there's that.
I never beat all the Dark Aeons or Penance in the original game and I never was able to get the Celestial Weapons for Lulu and Wakka, despite putting hours of hours into Blitzball, don't think I can bring up the time to do it this time around, but that platinum trophy is something I'd really like to have, we'll see how quickly I get bored of the endgame, I suppose.
Overall the game definitely hasn't aged one bit (Okay maybe a bit), but it still feels like the best Final Fantasy and to me even the best RPG of all time and I haven't even complemented the amazing music yet.
Truly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had and it's still so good after all this time. Definitely my favorite game of the PS2 era.

I've watched the ending on youtube a couple of months back and the way Tidus leaves to never come back is such a beautiful scene especially with that music. Really gets me all emotional. To Zanarkand , Suteki Da Ne and the Ending Theme are real heavy hitters imo.

Got totally wrecked by the final boss so I guess I'll start doing side stuff to get stronger beforehand. I was planning on seeing the ending at least once before . I actually got Yojimbo to use Zanmato only for it to be the first form... argh.
Also I know it's so you can get some last minute spheres and equipment
is the dumbest shit ever.

Okay, so I backtracked to Besaid after Spherimorph. What things should I grab? I got Energy Blast. I'll be getting Jecht Spheres. I'll leave Bliztball recruitment later unless there's a missable. Anything else?

I got a good laugh out of killing Seymour on purpose when fighting the boss.
Anyways, on to the temple and then the forest.

Nice. I've done a lot of catching while doing other bits but it will save me time when I come back to complete it.
I've made AP hoarding weapons and I'm grinding the sphere grid with Tidus, Wakka and Auron. Once I get the sigil for Wakka's weapon he is going to desteoy everything. Looking forward to taking on the dark aeons.
Yeah, I'm kind of using the experience from capturing monsters within sin and omega so that fighting the one eye isn't much of an ordeal. Any order works though! Lots of stuff to do at the end of this game.

Just follow this, it's not too hard. As long as you don't grind the walls or hit a pole you should be alright.
Maechen has the best voice. I loved listening to his long story in FFX-2.

Here's a fun fact, voice actor Dwight Schultz not only was the voice actor for Maechen, O'aka XXIII, as well as Maester Mika in FFX, but he is also Old Dalan's voice in FFXII
Oh and probably his most notable role is Mad Murdock in the 1980's A-Team TV Series.

I'm browsing through the new strategy guide for the collection, and did they rechange the key items for the celestial weapons ? I remember when I played the undub of the International version of X years ago, the key items for the celestial weapons had been switched around. Auron wasn't Mars anymore, Lulu Venus, and so on. But now, as I'm looking at my strategy guide, Auron is Mars and it seems like every character has its original Roman God qualifier. :/
edit: yeah, check it out here.

Haha, if you get good players it becomes exponentially easier. Out of those 50 odd games I have never lost one. Since I changed my goalie to Nimrook, in the past 35-40 odd games no one has even scored against me. That said, Tidus is my go-to guy for easy goals. Him and Brother are a great team.This is what I would do.
If I could score a goal to start with.
Definitely wanna see this!
He is flexible, to say the least! Heh, Old Dalan, oh the memories!
I think you just have to beat the trainer again, happened to me.
Not get 0.0, just get a better time than her.
You need to go there directly after beating her, if you leave it too long (Or probably if you enter another area and come back) he'll go back there. Just beat her again.

You need another sphere in it before you can push it. =( The puzzle is to get up there with two spheres, one for the bridge and one for the pedestal. I know because I had to restart for the same reason last night. Funny that you've been less than a day behind me the whole way through the game!WHY CAN'T I PUSH THIS THING?

WHY CAN'T I PUSH THIS THING?
I don't know. I couldn't either so I skipped the chest (Knights Lance). The chest that counts for Anima is the one with the HP sphere in it.
Oh, ha. Yeah no way I was going to go back into that puzzle lol.

Ok, so playing FF X for the first time. Enjoying it so far, but the inventory management is really bothering me. What am I missing here Neogaf? Are there not stats for the equipment so I can tell which is better to equip? Or is it just different abilities? If it is just different abilities, how am I supposed to know which are better.
Feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Pffft. How was I supposed to know that before getting up there? -__-
:lol Really? Show me some posts showing this please
Hrmm. Not worth redoing since I never attack with him anyway. Onward with the story!
Actually, you're not. You're right in that it's just the abilities and no stats, but you can't really tell what the different abilities do until you're able to customize later in the game. At least I think that is how it is. Luckily, most of them are obvious (Firestrike, [Stat] + X%) .
Just do not press X or skip anything. Just start him up, set the controller down, and enjoy his dulcet tones. I was like

It's pretty much just different abilities with the weapons. The real stat gains come from the sphere grid.

I just asked a question. If you had a source for it I'd like to see it. I never saw that in any of the reviews.
