Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup

Added DiffLines:

** Belgemine's 8 Aeons at Remiem Temple are optional fights, Ginnem's Yojimbo, Geosgaeno, Ultima Weapon, Omega Weapon, and the 35(!) Monster Arena creations (the strongest of which have millions of HP).
** The PAL/International/HD versions add the 10 Dark Aeons[[note]]You can fight each of the Dark Magus Sisters separately, thus making them truly three separate bosses.[[/note]] and Penance. That last one has 10 million HP, can OneHitKO maxed out characters, and takes about 30 minutes to beat even if you know what you're doing.

* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: Though you have to unlock a lot of the battles in it by capturing fiends, the Monster Arena has nearly everything you need for your power-leveling needs to tackle the optional endgame content and combining many small tricks is practically a requirement for making the grind go much faster.

* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling:
** An early game example is the fight while on route to Kilika against Sin's fin. If you avoid depleting the fin's health to zero, and instead kill the enemies that appear, you can farm the monsters as long as you wish, since killing one contributes towards leveling up. Doing so for a while can allow you to join several levels and progress really quickly into the Sphere Grid, well before you would reasonably be able to.

* SuddenDeath: Blitzball uses the same golden goal rule as Association Football - if the score is tied at the end of normmal play, first to score in overtime is the winner.

Added DiffLines:

* SecondPrize: In Blitzball minigame, you'll often want the 2nd or 3rd prize instead of the first as the better moves and skills for the minigame are rarely the first prize's reward. This essentially forces you to [[DoWellButNotPerfect lose games to achieve this.]]

Surprise Creepy was disambiguated. This example is written like an audience reaction but it's mostly describing a comedic scene.


* SurpriseCreepy: Rikku's Thunder Plains laughing breakdown and then spider-crawling towards Tidus and clutching his leg, begging to find shelter from the storm, can be seen as a little creepy to some.

** Many of the Monster Arena Creations have hundreds of thousands of HP (with the final one in particular, Nemesis, having ''10 million'' HP), hit ridiculously hard (whether through just having high attack power or attacks that inflict damage based on the target's ''maximum HP''), and [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard blatantly cheat]] with unblockable status effect or OneHitKill attacks.
** The ''International'', PAL, and HD versions have the Dark Aeons, which start appearing near the end of the game and have status comparable to the Creation bosses. Irritatingly, some of them appear to block off certain routes, which can make some sidequests problematic if you didn't complete them earlier.
** Defeating all the Dark Aeons lets you fight Penance, a ''12 million HP'' ultimate boss that can take about an ''hour'' to complete and has a number of attacks that inflict an instant kill or so much HP in damage it might as well be one.
