Q. Who will you use to defeat Nemesis?
A. Tidus, Rikku and Kimahri. Tidus' Slice & Dice is very useful and his celestial (can be) fast to obtain. Rikkus Mix is essential. Kimahris celestial is the fastest celestial for a 3rd character, as it can be collected while capturing Thunder Plains and Macalania.

Q. Will you use Zanmato?
A. No, we will not obtain any additional aeons. Zanmato is a very low chance on this version and we have to defeat around 40 creations before even getting to Nemesis (and 40 zanmatos just isn't happening)

Q. How do you unlock Nemesis?
A. By capturing every 10 of every 'capturable' fiend in the game (100 enemies total meaning 1000 captures), then defeating all of the bonus bosses: Area creations, Species creations and Original creations.

Q. Why not Penance? How long would that take?
A. Penance is only available on the International version of the game, and does not require capturing any fiends, only that you defeat all of the dark aeons. As Zanmato chance is significantly increased on International, that speedrun would abuse Yojimbo and take much less time than Nemesis. Without Yojimbo, it would still not likely take longer than Nemesis as you would not need to capture 10 of everything, and would instead be spending hours grinding Earth Eater and other bosses for stats, as you need ~110+ luck to even hit Penance

Q. Isn't this 100%?
A. No because there's a ton of stuff we haven't done, and there's no percentage counter to define what 100% is. Please don't try to define 100%.
