So, I've been grinding levels off of the camera. I also made another trip to the Colosseum to acquire some more rare items.

In this video, we start in a battle with Death Gaze. I've ran in to him a few times before, but this time, our party is well-powered-up after battling tons of dinosaurs and using growth eggs with stat-boosting espers.

Death Gaze goes down quickly, and drops the Bahamut magicite. We'll save it for later, as we're focusing on boosting stats instead of learning spells right now.

We drop anchor in the "dinosaur forest", and not long ago, we run in to a Brachiosaurus. We're lucky enough for it to drop a Celestriad, which is a rare and useful item in its own. It can also be wagered for another useful relic in the Colosseum.

Anyways, after grinding lots of characters up past level ninety or so, we receive a message that the Cursed Shield has been un-cursed, and becomes the paladin shield. This shield is great, and can also teach the Ultima spell for anyone who hasn't learned it yet (save Gogo and Umaro who cannot use magic, bummer). If I wasn't aiming for trophies, I would've chosen the Ragnarok sword in Narshe, instead of the magicite, and used the Paladin Shield to learn Ultima; However, this is a platinum trophy run, and I don't have time to play through this game until another ten years or so.

Thanks to Lylat and collaborators for the f.a.q.:
