this sounds like fun, and also has inspired me to get back to a similar journey. Trying to max out all my characters and capture each monster (for the maximum of 10 per). I've done the whole get-everyone's-celestial-weapon in past games already. I don't think I'm gonna go for it again for everyone -- I already have Lulu's, Yuna's and today I got Auron's. Also took care of Besaid and most of Mushroom Rock's fiends. Concerning the other characters' weapons, I'm going to build a better one for Tidus and Kimahri, I was never thrilled with those -- and plus, as previously mentioned -- they are really really annoying to obtain. I'll be starting on the path to get Rikku's Godhand next. I always enjoy a good run-in with the cactuars.

I spent a lot of time hanging out in Besaid today and found a Jecht sphere I totally forgot about (to the right of the temple), which was nice, as I totally forgot about that story (I'll leave that description out on the off chance someone hasn't seen it yet). Probably my favorite town out of them all.

So to cut the ramble short, thanks to Pete for inspiring my return to this game! Definitely one of my favorites of all time, including the PS3 games I have...
