Lowdown on the restrictions of this challenge:
Ability Nodes Only (ANO) - You can only activate ability nodes, no raising characters' stats in anyway.
Own Sphere Grid (OSG) - Each character may not leave their own section of the sphere grid. Note that these rules combined mean you can still use key spheres to e.g. teach Lulu Doublecast, Yuna Auto-Life etc.
No Summons (NS) - Self-explanatory, Aeons are OP meatshields
No Overdrives (NO) - Mainly for getting rid of Rikku's Mix, which is ludicrously OP
No Items (NI) - No using items, in or out of battle. Chakra Drops, Revival Beads, Megido Rocks, all those classic FF staples are banned (you can still customize equipment though)
Initial equipment:
Tidus: (Strength +3%, One MP Cost, First Strike, Zombiestrike) + (Auto-Regen, Auto-Haste, Auto-Shell)
Kimahri: (Piercing, First Strike, Initiative) + (SOS Regen)
Rikku: (First Strike, Initiative, Zombiestrike) + (Master Thief, Auto-Haste, SOS Reflect, Confuseproof)
Auron: (Piercing, Strength +10%, Sensor) + (Auto-Haste, SOS Reflect, HP +30%)
Wakka: (One MP Cost, Slowtouch, Slowstrike, Zombiestrike) + (Auto-Haste)
Yuna: (One MP Cost, First Strike) + (Auto-Haste, SOS Reflect, Confuseproof, MP +30%)
Lulu: (One MP Cost, Magic Booster, Magic +20%, Magic +10%) + (Auto-Haste, SOS Reflect, Confuseproof, MP +30%)
The ultimate example of the zombie exploit in this run. Nega has 2 different pools of spells it can choose from. If it's not under Reflect it'll use Drain, Osmose or Reflect. Once reflected it will bounce spells at you - either Bio, level 3 elemental magic or Flare. You want to set it up so you have a frontline of Lulu/Yuna/Rikku all zombified, with Yuna casting Dispel every time it uses Reflect so it continuously heals the team's HP/MP and damages itself. It's difficult to do this on turn 1 due to Lulu & Yuna's high evasion, so it's best to start by buffing Wakka & Auron's accuracy.
Since it's such a long battle (this thing has 1.3 million HP) it makes sense to Mental Break your frontline too in order to maximize the damage Nega receives from the reversed Drains. Unfortunately, Focus reduces the damage of Drain but it's still worthwhile on your attackers since you'll be attacking much more often than it self-harms overall. Don't Focus Yuna however - she is useless here offensively since Nega absorbs Holy.
This isn't terribly difficult once you pull the setup off. It mostly involves a lot of changing weapons for desirable turn order with Dispel and Copycat. I made sure to put their main weapons at the top of the list for this reason. There was an extra problem with the setup because I was too lazy to make new Auto-Haste armours for everyone, so I had to keep them above critical HP so SOS Reflect didn't activate. This is why I Power Break Auron at the start. I also had Yuna spread Nul-spells and Auto-Life around in case it ever got a turn whilst reflected, but I don't think this ended up happening. The jump cut at 59:59 is because the PS4 only records in hour long blocks - no shenanigans here.
