YES I finally did it!!! It was a Christmas miracle (I did this Christmas night). I seriously think my cousin (xwhoaitstrin) is good luck...after almost 30 attempts during the past couple months, the second time I try it while she's visiting, I'm successful. She's magic I tell you...

Ahh, I actually messed up...I didn't take out Auron when I had the chance to right before BFA got a full overdrive and BFA ko'd him with Triumphant Grasp...luckily it didn't become too problematic.

When BFA gets below 60,000 HP, his overdrive becomes Ultimate Jecht Shot instead of Triumphant Grasp, which is an automatic game over if used. Thus, once you get to the point where one more Shining Gem will put BFA under 60,000 HP, it becomes a stalling game. What you are waiting for is, ideally, for Rikku to have two turns and for another character to have one turn all before BFA before you put him under 60,000 HP. Technically, it can be done when only Rikku has two turns before BFA, but I find that having the patience to wait for another character to also get a turn can really pay off.

NSG = No Sphere Grid
-Never activate any node on your Sphere Grid.

NS = No Summoning
-Never use Yuna's "Summon" command to summon an Aeon.
-There are two exceptions to this rule.
--During the third forced fight in Besaid against Garuda, Yuna is forced to summon Valefor.
--At the exit of Via Purifico, Yuna is forced to summon Aeons against Issaru.
-Those are the only two exceptions. You may never summon an Aeon any other time, not even against Belgamine. You may, however, accept her challenge and simply escape in order to get the items she gives you.

NO = No Overdrives
-Never use an overdrive.
-There are two exceptions to this rule.
--In the first "boss" fight in Zanarkand against Sinspawn Ammes, Auron is forced to use his Overdrive "Dragon Fang."
--After the scene at the Moonflow where you get Rikku back, she is forced to use her overdrive "Mix" against a Bunyip.
-Those are the only two exceptions. In Kilika, when Kimahri is forced to Lancet the Ragora, filling up his Overdrive, you may not use his Overdrive afterwards.
