The Wanderer of Time
I was thinking as I was doing this subquest, where do the Celestial Weapons come from, to be so difficult to find? I had a thought - the Celestial Weapons were used by previous High Summoners, or were at least sealed by them.
First, the World Champion. When you get it from the bartender in Luca, she explicitly states her ancestors received it from High Summoner Ohalland centuries ago. Both the crest and sigil to power up the weapon require the player to spend time in Luca playing Blitzball, which Ohalland was well-known for.
Kimahri's Spirit Lance is found in the Thunder Plains in a tower by speaking to the Qactaur spirit there. High Summoner Gandof was the one who sealed the Qactaurs and had the lightning rod towers built in the first place. The fully upgraded Spirit Lance lets Ixion, the Thunder summon, break the damage limit.
To get the Masamune, one must find a Rusty Sword near the Cavern of the Forgotten Fayth, then take it to Mushroom Rock Road and present it to a statue of Lord Mi'ihen, who founded the Crusaders. High Summoner Yocun was a Crusader who trained extensively near the Cavern of the Forgotten Fayth. The Mars Crest is found on the Mi'ihen Highroad, which was named because it was the road Mi'ihen took when he faced Yevon's accusations of treason. The Masamune lets Yojimbo, the Forgotten Fayth, break the damage limit.
Yuna's Nirvana is gotten at the Monster Arena which is surprisingly close to Remiem Temple, which is where Belgemine gives you the Moon Sigil. The Moon Crest is found at Besaid where Yuna lives. Could it be possible it was her own father Braska who wielded the Nirvana? Belgemine shows a great interest in training Yuna and gives her the Sigil, perhaps she was acting under Braska's wishes. Or maybe, even if she wasn't a High Summoner, the Nirvana belonged to Belgemine herself. The weapon lets Valefor, the first Aeon found in Besaid, break the damage limit.
And there's others too - the Sun Crest is found in Yunalesca's chamber, the Venus Sigil is found by dodging lightning at the Thunder Plains. Just a few random thoughts, obviously not every weapon-crest-sigil matches up with a High Summoner, but the above possibilities make sense don't they? Maybe, the weapons of the High Summoners become Celestial Weapons when they defeat Sin, and their weapons are sealed away for the next generation of pilgrimage-takers to use if they prove themselves worthy. Being the property of a High Summoner explains why the weapons are so powerful, why they power up Aeons, and why they were sealed away so protectively.
