Creating a FFX two person challenge

Hi all! Me and my boyfriend are trying to create a challenge where we both start the game at the exact same time and battle each other. A first draft of our 'rule book' is below. Does anyone have any tips to make it more interesting or tips regarding the scores and such? All help is welcome!

Checkpoint completed: 50 pts

Checkpoints: Besaid, SS Liki, Kilika, SS Wino, Luca, Mi'hen Highroad, Mushroom Rock, Djose, Moonflow, Guadosalam, Thunder Plains, Macalania Woods, Lake Macalania, Bikanel Island, Home, The Fahrenheit, Bevelle, Calm Lands, Mt. Gagazet, Zanarkand, Sin, The Final Battle

Per Celestial Weapon completed: 100 pts (so all upgrades done)

Per character developed until final abilities of grid: 300 pts if you're first

We're using expert grid, you can jump and cheat as much as you want. So this is just a test on what you're willing to do to reach the final ability of a certain grid first.

Per character sphere grid fully completed: 1000pts

Who better to ask then the community that knows this game the best! Thanks so much.

Edit: lay-out

Edit 2 (additional rules):

We can't play if the other is not playing lol.

Beat Nemesis 500 pts

Beat Penance 1000 pts

Edit 3:

Thanks to your helpful comments, I removed Monster Arena from the sidequests and made a seperate system:

Monster Arena

  • 1 pts per creature captured
  • 30 pts per area captured
  • 50 pts per 'Area' or 'Creature' boss defeated

I added these as 'Additional Challenges', seperate from the other sidequests:

  • Highest scoring game of Blitzball (30 pts)
  • Defeating Chocobo eater or knocking him down (30 pts)
  • Additional Overdrive modes unlocked besides Stoic (10pts per Overdrive, counts towards all characters. So eg Healer only counts once)
  • All Overdrives collected on: Khimari - Tidus - Auron (100 pts)

  • First to hit Damage Limit 99999 (500 pts)

Well, the plot thickens my Gossipy friends!

When watching episode 4, Blair just seems increasingly more evil. I can see Serena stepping back into her web kinda.

Then comes the BFF photoshoot in the city, just the two of them. After Blair tells off her mom: props for that girl!

Blair and Serena are friends again. This is all hella cute and reminds me of being 16 again more than anything else in this season up till now. Because who cares if you nailed your best friend's bf, right?! BFF's 4 EVAH! No, but seriously, my sympathy for Blair and Serena grows when they balance each other out like this.

Sidenote: what kind of shit advice does Dan's dad give to him?! 'Some woman are just so extraordinary you will put up with ALLL of their irrational shit. They are just... special that way bro.' Excuse the parenting bejeezus out of me, my man? Yeah, go project your shitty marriage on someone else.

But then: What in the name of Aisha is that sleepover? Why are you so evil to Jenna, Blair? You want to kill her spirit like your mom killed yours? You toxic, psychotic, captivating piece of person. WHY DO I STILL FIND YOU THIS ENTERTAINING?!

SAME WITH CHUCK I MEAN. He saves Nate from his poker-trap he got stuck in, and I like his business idea with the burlesque club. But then turns around and tries to daterape Jenna?! AGAIN?! DUDE. STAAAAHP.

But then, ladies and gentlemen: the moment we have all been waiting for (appearantly, I didn't realise I needed this until it happened) BLAIR AND CHUCK GETTING ALL BOW CHICKA WA WAAAAAW IN THE CAB. Cause how is this not perfect?!

Also lol: the ultimate betrayaaaal, yeah like Nate gives two shits?

Getting back to it now with episode 8!

Edit: one thing I didn't emphasize enough: Nate parents are sociopaths. Both. Insane how skewed their priorities are. How is their son so balanced?! Wouldn't piss on those parents if they were on fire, sorry not sorry.
