Unless you are over-training, then Auron is much more useful by the time you get him. My last use of Kimahri on most of my earlier files was in the Bikanel Desert where I would use Kimahri/Tidus, Rikku, and Auron. I would say vast majority of people think Auron > Kimahri. I would also say, that a vast majority of people probably used Auron a hell of a lot more than Kimahri. I can't speak for everyone, but everyone I talk to feels that way. I don't think you can say that his celestial allows him to deal the lowest. I am pretty sure he is the only character that deals more damage when he is weaker. In MOST hard battles you won't be at max hp the entire fight. Thus, making all the characters who have celestials that weaken with lower hp hit lower than Auron who is only getting stronger as his hp gets lower. Not to mention it only takes about 500 damage for my Auron to hit 99999 on anything regardless of whether the monster has piercing armor or high defense.

Well, you do have a point there, but anyone with maxed characters (PAL maxed meaning 255 luck and low evasion and accuracy, or any kind of NA version maxed without luck) don't really have to worry about not having 255 strength.
Anyway, Kimahri's celestial weapon is MUCH harder to fully power as compared to Auron's which is easily one of the top 3 easiest to power up completely. Heck, I only have one save that even has Kimahri's fully powered celestial. That second half of the butterfly catching game is a pain in the ass.

Yeah, I only have Tidus and Auron with 255 luck. I didn't know that 133 was all you needed at the time. I used turbo controller to farm earth eaters though anyway. My Yuna and Wakka have 208 and 186 luck. I just don't care as much about them as Auron and Tidus.

Turbo controller so I didn't have to do it all. Also, I taught my little sister what to do to beat it quickly and that worked for awhile.

re: Aeons are worthless...

Yeah, Aeons become pretty worthless later on as they get less turns and it is a waste of huge amounts of good items to give them skills.
This should be called "Aeons are worthless..."

Yeah, Anima is a female. It is implied pretty much through the fact that it is clearly stated that it is his mom. Seymour Omnis even reacts when you summon her inside sin.

Kind of like how Sora was originally meant to be gay with Riku, so I always picture Sora as being gay.
However, I now think of Anima as a female. I remember I had a hard time at first.

Seymour was exiled with his mother in Baaj. Do you not remember? Or are you just not there yet.

Yes, Seymour's mother offered to become an aeon so he could use it to defeat sin. However, it was not done through Yunalesca, and therefore, is not a true final aeon.

I also wondered why the hell you needed to pay a dead fayth money to attack for you. What the hell is Yojimbo going to do with it? Buy some new sandals?

Yeah, for the second half of the game they don't serve much purpose besides being the official "meat shields" of your party. Also, some people still use their overdrives but that normally leads to extra turns for the boss or an immediate banish is some instances.

I've never gotten him to do Zanmato for two reasons.
1) That bastard doesn't deserve my millions.
2) It is extremely cheap, and takes the fun and strategy out of the game.

Well, those people probably don't have millions of gil to spend on Zanmato's. Unless they trained their Yojimbo's so much so that they can pay him like 100gil for a Zanmato.

re: Aeons are worthless...

Especially from a storyline perspective, aeons become useless very quickly. Not only because they don't get as many turns as 3 party members would, and the magus sisters don't listen to you half the time so they aren't the same. It just turns them into meat shields.

They just become glorified meat shields after awhile.
Sure I loved all my aeons and they are really cool when you get them. However, by the time you get Anima and the Magus Sisters it is almost pointless.

Obviously they had to make dark aeon attacks non-elemental. Otherwise, you could just have all your char's wear fire eater, water eater, etc. armor against each one.

Why wouldn't you believe Ifrit can't beat Dark Ifrit when you have been presented with facts. Mace even gave a little strategy on how to beat it lol. What part of all this is slipping over your head?

Then you have to start sacrificing power spheres to gain hp boosts. A lot of power spheres for a fairly insignificant hp boost.
