Yeah, Blitzball after you get the airship is an entirely different experience from playing it as you level. If you try it prior the Al Behd team will just race by you and shoot free goals, and the ronso team will literally just run up to your goal and shoot past Keepa every damn time, breaking through every defender. The others are much more doable, with the Goers being annoying as shit simply because they have higher average stats I think than you do and it isn't nearly as obvious as the ronso or al behd, just are just literally better at every single position. Getting the Jecht shot evens the playing field immensely, as using Tidus and just orbiting the outside until you get on top of the goal with 1-2 defenders on you means you will almost always score. Then it is hoping that the other team passes a shitload and randomly gets intercepted on a low roll for them and high roll for you. Otherwise, see my bit about the Al Behd and Ronsos.
The Brother+Tidus w/ Jecht shot team is straight boring OPness, as Brother will simply steal the ball or break through every forward/defender until you can pass to Tidus, who just jecht shots for easy borderline unanswerable points. Not to mention that since Brother will be constantly winning every encounter, he'll outlevel everyone and his shooting stat will be high enough to literally shoot and score from like halfway between the midpoint and the other team's goal against many of the goalies. Makes the push to get Wakka's weapon incredibly mind-numbingly boring, if not making it one of the technically easiest weapons to get.
Dark Valefor is substantially harder than any normal mode boss, including bullshit Seymour. Your aeons, leveled normally throughout the game, won't hit 9999 damage each, and that's assuming that he doesn't do the wind/attack combo and start one-shotting people over and over. The only one that will do real damage is Bahamut, and he's going to get aced before he hits a second limit break. Even with keeping my entire party engaged in every possible battle in the game, and never running, you have to basically abuse the shit out of items to get past him. Not even Seymour requires that kind of stuff, and he's one of the bullshittiest fights in the game. He can totally be beaten by explicit strategy, whereas Dark Valefor rapes you unless you literally abuse every single mechanic in the game to get past him when you would naturally come across him.
Also, I think there's more than one chest in some of the temples, and Besaid being the very first one and literally putting two balls in different holders to beat makes it sort of unintuitive to get the destruction there without prior knowledge of the effects. Entirely possible through just being OCD about checking every option (and I 95% am definitely that with RPGs) but also incredibly easy to miss it being a key to unlocking the best two aeons in the game as well as the means for Yuna to rape mad faces.
