There may be actions that are done for practical purpose or for no particular purpose in the playthrough; the mandatory actions done in this episode are the following and they can be used as a guide (note that during this playthrough, certain actions can only be done during a short period of time and others can be postponed; note also that there is the possibility I may have missed events like dialogue replacement, sprite change, additional scenes and so on, since those are not generally considered as goals and are not documented at all):
* Trigger Mene's message about the impossiblity to find other Chocographs (timecode: 15:33).
* Read the description of the key item "Chocograph Piece" (timecode: 15:44).
* Read the description of the key item "Chocograph Piece" (timecode: 15:47).
* Upgrade Choco to an ocean chobobo (timecode: 16:44).
* Talk to Bratty Marin (timecode: 18:23).
* Talk to the Old Lady (timecode: 18:37).
* Display a rainbow that appears once in the Burmecia Gate if entered in Disc 3 with Freya in the team (timecode: 19:16).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 20:36).
* Obtain an Elixir (timecode: 20:41).
* Obtain 3206 Gil (timecode: 20:46).
* Exchange the Kupo Nut for an Extension (timecode: 23:05).
* By collecting a 20th Chocograph's map while having the Blue Narciss, an ocean chocobo and 4 Chocograph Pieces, change Mene's dialogue in the paying 60 Gils confirmation window so that a note about the impossibility of finding other Chocographs appears as shown at 28:13 (note that in this situation, Mene's automatic dialogue about the impossibility of finding other Chocographs will not be triggered as usual; timecode: 27:53).
* Talk to the Bishop (timecode: 31:31).
* Obtain a Wing Edge (timecode: 31:49).
* Ensure that 100 Mythril Swords are possessed (that number must be maintained until some point in Disc 4; timecode: 31:58).
* Respond "To see you!" after talking to Gatz or Lisa to trigger a little scene (timecode: 33:00).
Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* As a reminder, I am refraining from picking up items or digging up chests with Choco in the world map until obtaining the Hilda Garde 3, in order to be able to change the dialogue of the Four-armed Man in Daguerreo, by talking to him with less than the 340 treasure points necessary to trigger the scene leading to obtaining the Rank S key item (I obtained nevertheless few treasure including the Chocograph treasure containing the White Robe, in order to make the future battles against Valia Pira and Meltigemini easy).
* I consider this time that triggering Mene's message (at 15:33) about the impossiblity to find other Chocographs mandatory (which implies collecting the maximum number of Chocograph Pieces while having the Blue Narciss and a mountain chocobo, which is 4), because while having the Blue Narciss and an ocean Chocobo, the game's code apparently prevents from collecting any Chocograph Piece, but Mene will comment about the impossibility to find other Chocographs only if there are not less than 4 Chocograph Pieces in the key item inventory.
* Note that the Chocograph Piece/ocean chocobo specificity mentioned above is demonstrated in the section from 02:47 to 03:58 of the following video:
