numbers in brackets are timings of sections where you only need to mash dialogue
every "Random Encounters" section is valid until the next one
heal often, the route buys a lot of Potions (keep in mind that you need 1 Potion for Aria, after Hein), Hi-Potions and status curing items a lot of bosses change attack pattern once they reach specific hp thresholds, the strat is usually to start using the most powerful attacks/spells/items only when they are about to reach those thresholds

this guide assumes you are using the tracker for at least encounters and yojimbo, no encounters armor is really useful to move between zones without wasting encounters

any% section

use this route for yuna's stats up to sin core, with a handful of modifications:

• do not teach tidus any skill so you can flee faster (you will teach him quick hit right before for arena monsters)
• get every accuracy node in tidus' any% path
• get 2 lv. 1 key spheres x3 chests in moonflow
• move wakka to the left and get 1 str node before extractor (the one near the acc node)
• pray at the first qactuar stone (its on the left in thunder plains south)
• try to get 2 special spheres from seymour for flee on yuna and entrust on rikku (not necessary)

Strategy explanation

In Mushroom Rock Road it's necessary to farm AP for Yuna and Kimahri: the strategy involves using Energy Ray on an encounter, doing a Sphere Grid to give Yuna (and Valefor) more Magic and Magic Defense, doing a second encounter to recharge Valefor's Overdrive then killing Raptors and Gandarewas until reaching a certain amount of AP on Yuna.

First fight (using Energy Ray)

The formation should be Tidus/Wakka/Auron; since Funguars give more AP compared to other monsters (44 vs 32), it's preferable to kill an encounter containing one but to avoid having to farm encounters at the end of the road kill anything that isn't a Garuda after fleeing 2 encounters.

As long as Kimahri and Wakka took a turn in battle and they are alive, you can Switch anyone for Yuna and Summon Valefor to Energy Ray with her (both Energy Ray and Energy Blast will kill anything but the former has a shorter animation), even on an Ambush.

Structure of the fight

• Tidus > Switch > Kimahri
