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: (First Strike) + (Dark Ward, Iceproof)
Lulu: (Magic +10%) + (HP +5%, SOS Regen)
Yuna: (Magic +5%, Magic +3%, Sensor) + (Fire Ward, SOS NulTide, SOS NulShock)
Kimahri: HAHA THAT'S FUNNY WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE
I scarcely need to explain this one. Suffice to say, Reflect and Bio absolutely destroy him. Lulu still has SOS Regen from before, and the other armours were just made from stuff I had lying around. They let non-Lulu characters survive long enough to set up Reflect on her and Haste/Reflect on Seymour. The latter two of these aren't really necessary though, they just speed things up. Keeping too many characters under positive status effects can prompt the Mortibody to use a powerful non-elemental AoE move, so it's best to just let Tidus and Yuna die once they've served their purpose. Anyway, sit back, relax and enjoy one of the most horrendously scripted boss fights in the game.
