This is a statue of Lord Mi'ihen. Eight centuries ago, he founded a legion known today as the Crusaders. In just a few short years after their founding, their ranks grew throughout Spira. The maesters of Yevon feared an uprising and accused them of rebellion. So Lord Mi'ihen walked along this very road to go face their charges and refute them. He succeeded in winning the maesters' trust, and his legion became an arm of the Yevon clergy.

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 roadway on wide open plains. Ruins lie along the sides while the path leads through canyons, sea and mountain cliffs before leading to Mushroom Rock.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Early History

The road was named for Lord Mi'ihen, the founder of the Crusaders, then called the Crimson Blades, who walked down 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 "Highroad" 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 highroad 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 revealed during the ending of one of Purpurea's fiend tales.

Final Fantasy X

Yuna and Tidus share a moment on Mi'ihen Highroad.

At the time before the Eternal Calm, 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.

Final Fantasy X-2

With Sin vanquished, the highroad becomes home to Iron Giants from the Thunder Plains and large, carnivorous birds. Travel by chocobo has been strayed from, with hovercrafts taking their place. The road is now covered in Al Bhed machina, used as a defense mechanism against the fiend population.

At some point, a fiend individual, Purpurea, created from the spirit of a flower decides to punish the now elderly woman who killed its master and his wife, but seeing the woman's grief and sadness over the act she did years ago, the Purpurea decides not to punish her and depart to the Farplane to join its master.

Main article: Fiend Colony

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.

Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery

Main article: Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery

The Mi'ihen Highroad Mystery takes place during Chapter 4. Rin asks Yuna, Rikku and Paine to 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.

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

The chocobos are back on the Highroad and running free!

Mi'ihen Highroad highlighted in the locations list on board the Celsius.

There are three possible scenarios here that will result in an Episode Complete, all of which involve correctly solving the mystery about why the Highroad's machina are going haywire. The Ragnarok 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. If either Prophet or Rin are found guilty, the player will only receive Episode Concluded.

Episode Concluded

That's right! Like, it was me! And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

Prophet

There are three possible scenarios that will result in an Episode Concluded, all of which involve incorrectly solving the mystery about why the Highroad's machina are going haywire. Notably, the player will receive the Key Item Gippal's Sphere, which cannot otherwise be obtained, if they name Rin as the culprit.

Musical themes

"Mi'ihen Highroad" from Final Fantasy X (PS2)

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.

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!".
