Mi'ihen Highroad

Mi'ihen Highroad is a road between the city of Luca and Mushroom Rock Road in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. Mi'ihen Highroad is a dirt road through wide open plains. Ruins lie along the sides while the path winds through canyons, sea and mountain cliffs before leading to Mushroom Rock.
== Story ==
=== Early history ===
The road was named for Lord Mi'ihen, the founder of the Crusaders, then called the Crimson Blades, who walked the old path on his way to Bevelle to answer the challenge that his group was a threat to Yevon. It is called a highroad because of both its altitude in relation to Luca, and because Mi'ihen walked the "high road" when he decided to face the maesters of Yevon instead of antagonizing them.
Five hundred years ago the highroad was destroyed by Sin, and a new road was constructed to its place. The old highroad became known as the "old road".
Some time before the events of Final Fantasy X, in the place of the travel agency, there was a manor where an elderly couple lived caring for their flower. At some point they were killed by a female servant for gil.The ending of one of Purpurea's fiend tales in Final Fantasy X-2.
=== Final Fantasy X ===
The highroad is home to many fiends. People who need to cross the highroad generally travel by chocobo, as it is safer than dealing with the fiends. Even the chocobos are not entirely immune to the fiend activity, as the Chocobo Eater roams the area. Yuna and her guardians defeat this monster on their way through. While staying at Rin's Travel Agency, Yuna makes a sphere recording to leave to her guardians to view after she has gone through with the Final Summoning, but Tidus interrupts her, and the two sit outside in the sunset and talk for a bit.
Reaching the northern end of the highroad, the guards forbid the party from passing until Seymour Guado tells thm to permit Yuna's party to pass.
=== Final Fantasy X-2 ===
After the defeat of Sin, people have stopped riding chocobos in favor of hovers. The Gullwings can help Calli catch a chocobo, and if they're successful, they have to rescue her from a Chocobo Eater. If the party arrives just in time, they defeat the fiend and Calli is able to ride a chocobo. They can invite both Calli and her chocobo to the Celsius.
In Chapter 3, the Al Bhed machina suddenly go haywire, and the Gullwings and the Al Bhed need to destroy them. In Chapter 4, Rin asks Yuna's help in his investigation in finding the culprit. If the party helps, the culprits are either the Chocobo Eater, Rikku, Calli, Prophet, or Rin himself.

The Fiend Colony is an optional dungeon in Final Fantasy X-2. The player must dispatch a level four or five chocobo to the highroad from Clasko's Chocobo Ranch during Chapter 5 to access it. Once it returns, Clasko will report a new dungeon has been found and the player can enter the colony. The entrance appears as a green portal.

=== Final Fantasy X-2 ===
==== Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery ====
The Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery takes place during Chapter 4. Rin asks Yuna, Rikku and Paine help him investigate two separate incidents that occurred on the Mi'ihen Highroad; a hover crashing on the Oldroad and the sentry machina going haywire. The culprit is either the Chocobo Eater, Rikku, Calli, Prophet, or Rin himself.
If the Chocobo Eater, Rikku, or Calli are blamed, the player will be awarded an Episode Complete for the area, and they will be able to ride chocobos on the highroad. If Prophet is blamed, the player will be awarded an Episode Concluded for the area, and they won't be able to ride chocobos on the highroad. If Rin is blamed, the player will be awarded an Episode Concluded for the area, but they will be able to ride chocobos on the highroad free of charge.
==== Chocobo treasures ====
Sending a chocobo to Mi'ihen Highroad to look for treasures finds the following items (depending on the chocobo's level):
Level	Treasure
1 	Soft, Soft x2, Soft x4
2 	Remedy, Eye Drops, Silence Grenade, Silver Bracer
3 	Remedy x2, Eye Drops x2, Silence Grenade x2, Gold Bracer
4 	Remedy x3, Eye Drops x3, Silence Grenade x3, Rune Bracer
5 	Remedy x4, Eye Drops x4, White Cape, Mute Shock
Sending a level 5 chocobo to Mi'ihen Highroad may uncover a new dungeon.
==== Cuckoo for Chocobos! ====
Cuckoo for Chocobos! is a mission in Chapter 2.
:Note: This is not a compulsory mission, thus is not required to complete the game.
Your Mission: Catch the Chocobo for Calli! Follow Captain Rikku's instructions and bring that winged whirlwind to justice! It's the kwest of a lifetime!
* Objective: Capture the Chocobo?
* Unlock: Becomes available when the party returns to the Celsius after they hand over the 'Awesome Sphere'.
* Reward: Selene Guard Garment Grid.
==== Machina Mayhem! ====
Machina Mayhem is a mission in Chapter 3.
:Note: This is not a compulsory mission, thus is not required to complete the game.
The machina deployed along the Mi'ihen Highroad have started attacking innocent people. Take out the misbehaving machina and restore peace to the Highroad!
* Objective: Incapacitate 13 tandems of machina.
* Unlock: Becomes available at the beginning of Chapter Three.
* Reward: Undying Storm Garment Grid, 10,000 gil.
====Episode Complete====
Three possible scenarios here will result in an Episode Complete: the Chocobo Eater, Rikku, or Calli being blamed. The rare Ragnarok accessory can be obtained by pinning Rikku as the culprit.
To get Episode Complete the player must fulfill the following requirements:
*Chapter 3 - The player must initiate the "Machina Mayhem!" mission, but it is not required to finish it.
*Chapter 4 – The player must complete the mission "Detective Rin", finding Calli, Rikku or the Chocobo Eater guilty.
*Chapter 5 – The player must visit the Highroad to discover the results of Rin's investigation.
While it is not necessary to complete the Mi'ihen Highroad mission in Chapter 2 in order to find the Chocobo Eater guilty, skipping this mission will mean Rikku and Calli cannot be found guilty.
====Episode Concluded====
There are three possible scenarios that will result in an Episode Concluded: either Prophet or Rin is blamed, or no suspect is blamed. The player will receive the key item Gippal's Sphere, which cannot otherwise be obtained, if they name Rin as the culprit.

== Musical themes ==
In Final Fantasy X, "Mi'ihen Highroad" is the location theme on the Highroad. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu. This theme is included on Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Compilation Album and in the Final Fantasy XV music player.
"Chocobo Jam" plays when riding a chocobo on the Highroad. "They May Pass" plays at the end of the Highroad, when Seymour appears and gives the party permission to pass the roadblock.
For Final Fantasy X HD Remaster, "Mi'ihen Highroad" was remastered by Masashi Hamauzu. It uses live instruments and features an acoustic guitar more heavily than the original version.
In Final Fantasy X-2, "Mi'ihen Highroad" is an entirely new composition that acts as the Highroad's theme. The theme "Chocobo" plays while riding a chocobo on the Highroad and during the Chapter 2 mission, "Cuckoo for Chocobos!".
