How to unlock the 1000 Kills achievement in FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered - Definitive Guide
I found the best way to grind this achievement is in a forest Northwest of Dollet in the Hasberry Plains. The forest spawns a guaranteed 3 enemies that you can dispose of rather quickly if you’re grinding post game.
Just keep 3x speed on and it shouldn’t be too long of a grind.

If it helps anyone, here's some math to ballpark the time this achievement might take. (tl;dr, at the absolute most an hour and a half at the Hasberry monkey forest, assuming you are doing this in the endgame, and are starting from no kills which is obviously unlikely)
-------------------------
If you are running around in the forest in Hasberry Plains where the monkey is, you get the guaranteed 3-enemy spawn. So that means you would have to do at most 334 battles, very generously assuming you killed no enemies to begin with. (1000/3 ~= 334)
If it takes you 15 seconds to trigger and then finish each battle, which is reasonable enough on 3x speed and you are always opening with Rinoa's AOE Angelo Cannon limit break, then that means you could theoretically be spending about an hour and a half of nonstop grinding in the absolute worst case scenario (334 * 15 / 60 = 83.5 minutes).
Note that I had junctioned 100 Ultimas to Rinoa's strength; plus, I gave Squall all of the ATK GF ability boosts and happened to have junctioned 100 Demis, so he could clean up the Anacondaurs and/or Wendigos that sometimes survived the Angelo Cannon.

+1 from me, by far the fastest way to grind these kills out, thanks.

This one should unlock during natural progression, especially if you're goal is to get max stats on everyone.
If you still haven't gotten by the time you reach the endgame
then I highly suggest returning to the main island from the beginning of the game and running in circles and killing monsters there; it should be a 1-shot to kill and you should be pretty close to the Trophy anyway.
Put an elastic on the left analog so that Squall runs counter-clockwise in a circle and when an enemy pops up just hold .
The reason you force the stick to the left is so you don't select the special attacks. Woth the 3x speed on it's boring but effective.

Playing the game naturally, you will likely only defeat about 350-500 enemies. The quickest way to then complete this is to return to Ifrit's Cave which should give 2-4 enemies per battle and grind the rest out there before heading to the final dungeon. You could also use the forest near Dollet where you find the monkey for the Obel Lake quest, which has a guarantee of 3 enemies per encounter, but these are tougher enemies and some can put you to sleep, elongating the fights.

In the game, more than 4 enemies do not appear in battle, which lengthens the trophy. Do it on red fish on any bank (up to 3 pieces). Or on the island where you take the Cactuar GF, only cactuars appear there (up to 4 of them at a time!!). To speed up, you can turn on the speed and god cheat (the enemy’s move wastes time, with the cheat the enemy does not move)

When you're in prison, don't forget to talk to the NPC on the 10th floor - this will give you the ability to track killed monsters in the menu
