Well, that seems like a dick move
Because Valefor's a rebel, hence the nipple piercing

At least those moves are better than the attacks that petrify and shatter you in one move

Didn't really explain it, no, but it sure is nice to have.
It's kind of a bummer that Ifrit is pretty much objectively the worst summon in the game (except for, maybe, Yojimbo); he doesn't get to be out of range like Valefor, Meteor Strike is fucking terrible compared to the rest of the Aeon-specific special moves, and his stats don't scale up with Yuna's very well at all. At least the elemental Aeons get to be way better at healing themselves than the non-elemental ones.
I don't remember Ifrit being particularly bad. I used him as my main choice until Bahamut stole the show.
Wow I thought Yojimbo was considered the best summon. I haven't played in a long time so granted my memory is a little fuzzy but I always remembered him being considered cheap.
That's about his limit, iirc, just around 200000

He's the most powerful at his peak, considering that Zanmato auto-kills anything it hits, but he's also not that great at basic utility summoning (though the fact that a very affectionate and well-trained Yojimbo is capable of automatically counterattacking enemies and can sometimes hit multiple targets with Wakizashi is a big deal, IMO).
Guess I'm settling for 202500
HOLY SHIT. 8 HOURS? D: You poor thing. Did you get some therapy afterwards?

I thought that was fixed in the International version?

I'm pretty sure he's story-unmissable in FF7 and FF9 (but maybe it's possible to walk right past the Bahamut materia on the ground in FF7?). But yeah, optional in 4, 5, 6, and 8.

I need some help with something, I'm trying to find all the Qactuar Stones in the Thunder Plains and I prayed to one in the first half of the Plains and then one in the second and now none of them are glowing?
I have no idea where to find the third glowing stone at all.

How much did you end up paying for him?

Nice. I paid 195000. I thought I was gonna get denied. I tried a few times before and he was like "GTFO scrub".
Hunting fiends in the Omega Ruins is such a pain. So many enemies and some of them so rarely appear. My run just now was litterally 60% Mimic formations. I mean, it was fine because I made a pretty penny, but I really want to complete fiend hunting. Omega Ruins is the last area I need 10 of each fiend.
It was like that in the PS2 version as well.

Something I don't understand from early in the game. I'll spoiler it in case.
Why does Sin attack Zanarkand in the beginning? If that is the Summoned Zanarkand what is the point of attacking it? I can only assume Jecht decided to do it as Sin. Auron seems to communicate with Sin when he says "Are you sure?" But does Jecht have that much autonomy and did he always intend to pull his son out of the summoned Zanarkand? And what destroyed Zanarkand 1000 years ago if Sin was the creation of Yu Yevon? Why would it destroy it?

What destroyed Zanarkand was explain in the story and it would be used as part of the plot in FFX-2.
But basically Bevelle and Zanarkand went to war and Zanarkand lost.
Lol I missed that post earlier. Also why is there at times a weird line of pixels on the left side and bottom of the screen like in these pics? Its actually quite distracting. (you can't really see them on white gaf btw)

Yu Yevon created Sin to protect the summoned version of Zanarkand, which was created because the original city was doomed to destruction by Bevelle in some great machina war. He protects the summoned Zanarkand by using Sin to halt the progress of technology by destroying machina and cities. When it was originally created, it immediately destroyed the nearest city, which was Zanarkand itself.
Jecht is shown to have a bit of control over Sin as he goes to the summoned Zanarkand with the intention of bringing Tidus to Spira and listens to the Hymn of the Fayth in Lake Macalania. Jecht is aware of the truth about the Final Summoning and Yevon, so he both wants Tidus to experience the 'real world' and also hopes he'll find a way to break the cycle.
Massive endgame spoilers.
In the beginning the dream Zanarkand is attacked by sin to bring Tidus to the real world. This is because Jecht is running out of time and losing his mind, if he waits any longer, Tidus will be unable to stop the cycle. Dream Jecht literally got to Spira by going so far out to sea he exited the dream Zanarkand. DZ is it's own little world, which explains why Tidus knows nothing about Spira despite it touching Zanarkand. In DZ, there is no Spira.
the real Zanarkand and its summoners was destroyed by the Machina of Bevelle. Yu Yevon summoned Sin, and then DZ (from the fayth created by the dead killed in Zanarkand by Sin and the machina) as retribution against Bevelle, and in the process most of the machina were destroyed. Somewhere along the line, probably around the same time Yunalesca destroyed the first Sin, Yevon the religion discovered it could use the fear of Sin to stay in power and control the people, and thus it took up the name of the creator of the peoples fear, Yu Yevon.
It's probably safe to assume Yu Yevon Summoned Zanarkand because he didn't want to let go of his past, maybe he even thought he could live in the summoned world.
However, none of this manages to account for Jecht and Tidus's minds going to the farplane instead of just being conjured by pireflies like some others. Since they were technically Aeons, The only thing I can come up with is that the impact Tidus and Jecht had on the people of Spira somehow made them real.

I think we're the same person. I also took a shot of this and started laughing because it was so horrible.

same here. I only need 8 individual captures. Taking forever

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
The other Chocobo trophy is MUCH easier, especially if you know the right path to take and have a bit of practice;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyamu6xg0H4
This video shows the general path, however there is one modification that can make the difference as one commenter posted, take the second ramp to open the last chest, it saved me just enough time.
Keep in mind the time of the AI varies by up to 10 seconds, and his path can take upwards of 40 seconds. If you can get used staying off from the walls, and follow the optimal path, it should take a couple handfuls of tries to finish it. Additionally, you don't need a perfect run to get the trophy, only the chests are required, not missing the poles.

This right here is the real deal for dodging lightning. I went from another recommended spot to where I could barely get 5 in a row to doing 220 on my second try. (I was on vita for reference)

Unfortunately, no lol
Haha, I posted this same tip on pstrophies.org in the "Trophy Guide and Road Map" thread 4 days ago after I got the trophy. Taking the last path really is a lifesaver. As for his time varying, I found his time to be EXTREMELY consistent. If you aren't kicking open the final chest BEFORE 34 seconds exactly you won't make it
You can upgrade manually using Sphere's. Aeon stats are also linked to Yuna's stats. Powering her up also increases the stats of her aeons.
