This is the thing that I have given up on Finla Fantasy:

I give up in getting Tidus' Caldbolg! I can no longer tolerate the frustrations in beating that chocobo race at 0.00 time!

That mini-game is the most annoying mini-game EVER!

So, do you have some experiences to share wher eyou give up on Final Fantasy?

I understand the frustration. The whole thing is almost entirely dependent on the placement of the balloons. If you can get a bunch of balloons on the edges of the track and keep yourself from getting hit by any birds, only then do you have a chance at nailing 0.0 seconds.

And speaking of the lightning dodger game and the butterfly catching...those got on MY nerves, too! At least I'm not alone!

well i guess i'm a nerd then because I get it every time. Most of it is down to luck if try enough times then eventually you will win out but there is also a trick to dodging which involves sharply zigzaging :roll: i will admit it is hard but i'm not all that sure that its the hardest. i found that FFX-2's mini game where you calibrate the lightning towers to be very hard especially with yuna where you input everything you remember in reverse order on the final tower

Oh cmon its easy, all you have to do is get 14 baloons, only get hit by 1 bird and get a time of 32 at the end, then the 14 baloons you got will take it down to 0.00, Its so easy I do it every time.

I never did it on MY game, but get this.  When it first came out a friend of mine had it and was getting mad at it.  So I was bragging that I could do it so he let me try.  I failed like 3 times then actually did it on his game.  My first time ever playing FFX.  I now suck at it though and can't seem to get better than like 18 or something if I remember right.  They should give you a choco-shotgun for those birds....

After all... I'm a human. Anyway, who knows? Maybe in the FAR future I will have the patience to do it. As for now, it always go to my nerves whenever I'm playing that Chocobo thing.

I was able to do it only one time and have not been able to do it since the lightning dodging thing is much harder i have gotten up to around 150 or so I don't remember exactly what I have also gotten the butterfly's which took quite awhile to get. so far i have done everything but dodge 200 lightning bolts.

I did it four years ago, but I don't remember how to do it. I think Kimahri's legendary weapon is the most difficult to obtain and is the only one I didn't get yet.

Whenever I see a butterfly, I get reminded of that minigame. I haven't got the Sun, Venus or Saturn Sigils either. Those three are the only things I need to finish my Celestial Weapons.

I copped out the easy way and bought a Pro Action Replay to make the clock go EXTRA SLOW!!! Every second only went by as .01 seconds, I just had to make sure my balloons were more than my birds so I still had to race her and win :D
The purists can say what they want, it's water off a duck's back. It still allowed me to get a powered up Caladbolg (along with all of the other UWs)! I just don't see the reason to get so frustrated that you start breaking things or make a sailor blush with your cussing.

Just like Yasae said..."Just cheat already... :P :roll:"

PS...It was the best $40 I have ever spent!!

sometimes it's more gratifying to beat a certain part of a game on your own.

but in cases where you are just plain stuck no matter what you do then I say

to hell with it get me the cheat codes

I actually got Tidus' Caldbolg, it took about 100 tries and 1 broken controller. But honestly, it's not worth wasting time over it. Dogding those 200 lighting bolts was a calk walk compared to Tidus's challenge.

hmm I actually thought the oposite, the chocobo challenge just takes time and practice but the lightning job takes reflex and not blinking for an hour. But I thought it was worth it.. I still want to get that lightning dodge minigame done furthest I got was like 158 so I gave up

many says dodging 200 lightning bolts is the easiest of all the sidequest in the game. you can even complete that sidequest as ealry as your first time in the thunder plains.

hey i heard if you use a turbo controller the game will sense it and will hit you continuesly non stop. i guess that makes it easier but i never tried it.
