I played FFX back in 02/03, and for various reasons didn't like it. I don't remember how far I got, but it was at least to the Blitzball tournament. I won the first game or the tournament or whatever and my friend was shocked. He didn't think you could win it.

This is unironically one of the hardest things to do in the entire game, significantly hindered by RNG mechanics. It's pretty impressive that you won it.

It's a really stupid way for them to introduce blitzball because it makes you want to never play it again, which is a bit of a shame because it's way easier later on and more fun.

The Sphere Grid still annoys me. I can see ability spheres are going to be a bottleneck. Anywhere I'll be able to farm these?

Yeah those become really easy to farm. You have 3 methods:
1) an attack skill that lets you hit an enemy and steal an ability sphere after winning the fight.
2) a weapon attribute you can customise onto a weapon - you get an ability sphere everytime you attack
3) a late game hack against a particular enemy that lets you pick up 99 in a single fight.

It's really only a concern very early on. You'll end up picking up plenty later on.

Other than that, I'm concerned about missables. I looked up a list and thankfully there don't seem to be many. I did get the staff from the Cloister of Trials before Yuna joined.

The main missables you want to be concerned about are the secret chests in each cloiser of trials. You can get them way later on but they are gatekeeped by some of the hardest post-game bosses in the game.
