When exactly do the Dark Aeons spawn?
No. They were added for the International version. The original Japanese and North American versions don't have Extract abilities.
like "extract ability" or "extract power"? those are skills you use in combat and it will mark that mob with a debuff that when killed it will drop that kind of sphere
edit: read that wrong my bad, don't mind my stupidity

oh man only got 1 chest at the trials thing at the beginning of the game... im pretty sure i gotten way more before 
for a game that is quite linear for the most part, the side and secret stuff is quite obscure and easily missable.
my one playthrough of this without a guide, i skipped all the end game crap and just went off to fight the boss.... was kinda hard :X

On the highroad right before you enter mushroom rock road she says
something about taking taking a nap and then says Bartellos name seductively. The implications are fucking horrifying.

Ah okay. So when exactly should I return to the previous areas to get the Jecht spheres? Some people said after you get the monster capturing weapons, others said that is too late? It's been quite a few years since I've played FFX, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. And I never had to worry about the Dark Aeons either (since I had the NA version). lol
That's what I'd love to know.. at present I want to avoid the Dark Aeons as long as possible but not miss anything at the same time lol

Dang! Apparently missed my second primer. I now have primers 1 to 10, 12-14, and 16. I've gotsta find 11 and 15! But again, I will find them with no tips or guides, thanks!
Btw, Macalania is rather beautiful

The best time to do it is after you get the Airship and then just waiting until you're strong enough to take out Dark Valefor before getting the last one.
There's no reason to get them asap, you aren't missing anything by not having Tornado.
They're a couple, she wants exactly what you think she does.
;____; I don't want to imagine that
Just gloss over it till its over, then get to the rest of the game.
I'm currently grinding in the Calm Lands. Gotta get those '-ga' level spells.

Just got to the pre-calm lands scene, that was really well done.
The ending is going to hit me hard

You just go into those fights with your Aeons pre-charged to Overdrive, then you Overdrive with your Aeon to oneshot each one she summons. If for some impossible reason you didn't oneshot an Aeon, go in with Yuna's Overdrive ready.
If you don't backtrack to Besaid immediately after the bossfight that unlocks the spheres, yes.

I don't know what
Bartello
Worst-dressed character in Final fantasy.
The clincher is the black pumps and fishnet stockings.
What the fuck
Fuck it I'll just wait until I get the airship.
YOLO and all that but I'll be goddamned if I'm going to hoof it ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way back to Besaid.
Ahahaha. NOPE.
Yeah that was my fault (and someone else) for giving bad advice. Backtrack as soon as you get the first sphere - takes about an hour - or don't bother. It's whether or not you want the trophy and Auron's final limit break earlier or not.
If you do backtrack, there's a vendor that sells a First Strike weapon for Tidus. Equip that and use Flee to quickly avoid battles. Or just have your weaker teammates kill them to upgrade their kill stats, you'll want those to get the Slayer overdrive and the Don Tonberry AP trick.

Dod you have a link to said trick? I'm at that point now, right before final location
Don Tonberry (Unlocked by capturing enemies in The Cavern of the Stolen Fayth) has a counterattack that does damage depending on the number of fiends the character has killed.
Basically you use Overdrive -> AP with the Comrade Overdrive mode to quickly gain AP. Triple AP and Triple Overdrive obviously makes this much faster. You can even flee the battle and still get AP.
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Don_Tonberry_(Final_Fantasy_X)
This goes into a little more detail than the above post. If your characters aren't taking enough damage from grudge, just farm up weak kills while monster catching. I've consciously made sure to give everyone a lot of kills throughout my game.

Ah, that's legit. As kids I remember using the cactuar thing in the arena and doing something similar. This is better lol
Bookmarked, thanks!
I totally just 3-hit killed
Belgemine's Yojimbo
That was me going 'nope' as in 'nope, never going back there, even if it means filling the monster arena'. Fuck the
Dark Aeons.
Just Yojimbo them if you don't want to fight 'em normally.

are they all just in the first area or do I need to move around to find them all?
Use Cheer and any lightning-elemental weapons you have. You can also Slow him if you have a weapon than can inflict it.
Don't bother destroying the Negator.
You have to wander a bit; I found a Malboro and it proceeded to hand me my arse, so I'm grinding.
IIRC the northwestern corner has unique encounters.
