Final Fantasy X - Lowest Total Sphere Level Challenge (LTSL)

ファイナルファンタジーX - 最低合計球レベルチャレンジ (LTSL)
I wanted to do a different FFX challenge that hadn't been done before and I found interesting the idea of ​​seeing what would be the lowest Total Sphere Level each character could have. Basically it's like the No Sphere Grid challenge but enhanced, which would be a Low Level in other Final Fantasy titles.
The objective of this challenge is to get the minimum AP possible, with this we will get the lowest Total Sphere Level.
To archieve this we will have to:
• No Sphere Grid. Don't activate a single node on the Sphere Grid.
• Escape from the forced encounters that we can (such as the tutorials). Obviously we will have to escape from all the random encounters too.
• In the battles with several enemies we will have to kill only those necessary to advance.
• Only one party member must receive the AP after the battle, so we will have to kill the other members. Preferably the member that absorbs the AP after the battle will be the one that starts with a higher Total Sphere Level, since he/she will need more AP to level up.
• No Overkills, except in battles that don't give AP (which are very few) or when we have the Celestial Weapons (with No AP ability).
There is a stat called Total Sphere Level or TSLv for short. It starts at different levels for various characters:
Tidus ➼ TSL=0
Wakka ➼ TSL=2
Yuna ➼ TSL=2
Lulu ➼ TSL=2
Kimahri ➼ TSL=6
Auron ➼ TSL=12
Rikku ➼ TSL=25
Every time you gain a Sphere Level, your TSLv increases by 1, to a practical maximum of 101.
The amount of AP you require to reach your next Sphere Level is dictated by your Total Sphere Level. The formula for TSLvs 0-100 is:
AP Req = 5*(TSL + 1) + [(TSL^3) / 50]
If your TSLv is 101 (or more, but there's no proof that it ever increases past that), your AP Requirement will instead be 22000.

I haven't captured any monsters because I haven't needed to, but it can be done without getting AP. If when you go to capture you don't have anyone with any Celestial Weapon (although you should have Kimahri and Tidus's since they are very easy to get), whoever has the weapon with the capture ability must die before the battle ends to avoid gaining AP.
The most tedious case would be when there is only one monster in the battle, since you would have to poison the member who has the weapon to capture and have it die from poisoning just when you capture the enemy.

PS: I didn't attemp the NSGNSNCNONENNENBB challenge because it's too time-consuming, tedious, RNG-dependent (especially the battle against BFA) and pretty boring IMO.
There are only 5 people who have managed to complete that challenge thanks to the RNG being in their favor: Lukiiee1, knights_terminos, lionheart41269, BlitzAce469 and Lovebird920.

Phantasm, ur content is so clean

[@pampafox]

Wonderful

[@AdamenceXIII]

Is that maxed out aeons (600 fights escaped) too make this doable/easier? Thats wild man, very intresting how many levels you can gain from doing forced fights , and only 1 character taking it all!! (character that takes the most to level- rikku lmao) only early game whilst watching but fair play!!

[@KFCPhantasm]

I maxed out aeons just before fighting Seymour Natus, I didn't max them out earlier to dont overkill the aeons of Isaaru. And yes, i escaped a lot of fights to make the fights shorter.
The truth is that this challenge was quite entertaining, I had fun :). BTW i just added in the description the number of total battles i fought/escaped with "✶" so you can see the progress of the aeons.

[@AdamenceXIII]

@@KFCPhantasm yeah I got to the gui fight in the vid and you were doing massive dmg to what I'm used to at that point lmao even the killika sinspawm, valefor basically soloing it hahaha

[@AdamenceXIII]

I had to laugh at the Evrae fight, having 2 dark matters for it. I think if that 2nd one high rolled it would of killed? (Obvs not trying to overkill anything)
Evrae Altana i actually didnt know the party gets resd by unlocking the gate thats pretty wild tech!!
Seymour natus - would that firestorm overkill if all hits land on him? I genuarally thought that he was going to die from poison tick lmao
Who would've thunk, that celestials are useful without being upgraded. I didnt even think of them at all. Is that how you got blitz ace, since you dont have worry about gaining ap from encounters now?

[@KFCPhantasm]

@@AdamenceXIII @AdogXIII3 Evrae: As you guessed, the 2nd one could overkill if high rollled so i had to heal him.
Evrae Altana: You always learn something new 😁
Seymour Natus: I think yes, i was lucky there because the last hit xD
Blitz Ace: Exactly, thanks to the celestial weapons i was able to grind the overdrives. I did learn slice and dice vs the Ochu since It has good amount of HP (not the Boss, the random encounter).
