  • FUCKING DID IT! TWICE IN A ROW! finished it, then LEFT because the last one is so fucking close to the exit, so i came back and had to do it again...

  • ok. i had no problems with the second section, which i did first. there was just an ass-load of red butterflies you had to dodge. took a long time, but was possible. the first one is NOT. it is way too long, and i can't finish it even when i dodge all of the red butterflies! i'm like 5 seconds short from the last one. it's fucking ridiculous.

  • I only got a teleport sphere :/ where's the sigil? (playing the jap version)

  • @tovetroll84 beat it in the second section.

  • Does anyone know a good cheat for this mini-game?

  • THIS BUTTERLY GAME MAKED ME TURN PS2 OFF!!

  • Comment removed

  • i swear tidus does not run that fast also im gonna fuckinh tear my own head off if i spend more more minute on this!!!

  • I really hate how this otherwise awesome game is remembered more for it's piss-poor minigame design. I swear the red butterflies have a six foot radius hitzone, while the blues are the size of a friggin pinhead.

  • I had to do this fucking shit twice, cus i exited the zone as i grabbed the last butterfly..

  • @akirhol

    Hahahahaha

  • @grip07pm

    This game rocks

  • Being color blind doesn't help this very much. I've yet to sit down and really attempt it, but the few times I've screwed around with it, I think I hit every red butterfly. Lord help me.

  • IMPOSSIBLE

  • IMPOSSIBLE

  • THIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO!!!

  • That corner...

    I was able to do it while still hitting a red butterfly at that corner.

    If you have more than ~4.5 seconds as the butterfly encounter starts at that corner, it's doable. Some people say you should wait if you have extra time and keep at it but... eh. Teleport sphere for me.

  • if i beat the second one and didnt realize i even started it, do i get an award?

  • OMG Guys This really, really shocking man I'm glad I have a sister but guess what My sister never played to PS2 before and I let her try the butterfly think and She did it on her first try... I was like :O and :D YES I GOT THE SIGIL ( I made it for the first butterfly game and my sister did the second one)

    PS: My sister is 5 years old

  • @dramanapo No offense, but your sister > you + me

  • It took me 45 min for the Chocobo race But for the butterfly....

  • That's crazy I get mad right after my first try >:'(

  • Is it even possible >:'(

  • I Now Officialy Hate Butterflys !

  • This and chocobo racing are the two main reasons I decided to play on PCSX2 instead of PS2 - used FFXED to bypass those two minigames. I'd rather dodge 1000 lightning bolts than make another attempt at those damn butterflies.

  • I've been trying to do this for 6 years and still can't.

  • @heidihasthefloor Give up. It's not worth it.

  • X-Potions, Hi-Potions, Mega-Potions, Elixirs, Ethers, Remedies, Antidotes, Eye Drops, Echo Screens, Farplane Shadows, Three Stars, Lunar Curtains, Candles of Life, Mana Tablets, Dream Powders, screw all of you. What Tidus needs is steroids so he can run like Rikku.

  • this is no where hear as bad as the chocobo racing i can get this one preety quick but that stuff took me an entre night befroe i got a perfect score

  • I hate this game. I cant believe that they put a game that colourblind people cant play...

  • @grip07PM You're joking. I can feel it.

  • @Ocelotlikespie thats what everyone says when i say im colourblind, but if i wasnt then i wouldve got that stupid sigil by now...

  • @grip07PM I meant, you shouldn't hate a game because of that. When making a game, the developers want to put their all into it. In Final Fantasy, in particular, things are done so they look beautiful. The colors for the butterflies were well chosen, though they should shine a bit more. Final Fantasy needs these colors. Furthemore, you can always ask someone else to snatch the butterflies for you. I think you're being a bit selfish. It's not the developers' fault you're colorblind.

  • @Ocelotlikespie i hate the butterfly game, not the actual game. lol, you shouldnt have written all of that. I loved the game enough to play more than 800 hours... (and nobody else can play ffx in my family and theyre colourblind too [its genetic])

  • @grip07PM Oh, you mean the mini-game. Okay, everybody seems to hate it (me too), and knowing the difference between red and blue doesn't seem to make much of a difference since sometimes I run into a red butterfly, thinking it's blue because it looks blue.

    I mean, ask a friend of yours or something. Either that or you have to memorize which butterflies to catch. Now that can be like running into Anima in a sunny day.

  • @grip07PM you know what i hate...the requirements to getting the venus sigil THAT, was the ABSOLUTE HARDEST thing i have ever had to do in a game EVER...nonetheless a FREAKING SIDEQUEST!!!

  • I took down sin with one try and Atleast 30 Mofo tries before i passed that part!!

  • omg i went to far and left the area fml!!

  • forgot how gay the last corner is id rather be waterboarded for a week

  • i don't get it... i did both of em... the first time i did the first one, i got a a friends sphere... when i did the first one again, i got an elixir... then when i went to do the 2nd one, all i got was a megalixir, and it won't let me do it again... do i have to leave macalania and do it again? ... where's the saturn sigil??

  • @Guitarmaster7272

    You need to have the airship to be able to get the sigil, if u don't have the airship u'll get other rewards

  • cool... fucking couldn't get pass 0:30 for a hundred tries then when i finally do, i hit the last butterfly then go into the next zone.. fml

  • I think Kimahri's best weapon is worth the hassle of catching butterflies..

  • @cupmanful Why?

  • The last butterfly on the first section is a real bitch too. If you're not careful, you'll head into the next area and have to do it all over. Did it just now, and succeeded right after.....

  • I'm playing FFX for the 36th time and I found the chocobo race to be extremely easy as always, however since I'm mildly colorblind I will need to relearn the whole routes by heart for this one...

  • The corner at :32 is a monument to poor design in video games.

  • @OsciIet I agree 100%

  • @OsciIet its a monument to pissing a lot of people off. 

  • Comment removed

  • Lightning dodge is doable (if you learned not to blink) ..... Chocoboo race I figured out that my bf is much better at it (after i tried for years lol and he managed in 1 hr...) ._. but this one we both suck at... and only at the first part!! xD ughh

  • -.- this is almost as painfully difficult as the fucking chocobo race in 0.00 seconds like wtf. ><

  • I DID IT I HAVE HIS WEAPON MAX OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD MAN DID TAKE FORVER. I take back what I said good luck all

    

  • see that's why I made him a good weapon. It's called Gungnir and the Abilities r magic counter evade and counter triple overdrive and break damage limit. sorry Ixion gusse you wont be able to do over 9999 damage.

  • if it is THIS easy why cant i do it blindfolded :/

  • fuck butterflies. they're retards with shitty wings.

  • @DaBunnyMasta LOL sprayed tea eveywhere

  • @Tommonius yeah xD they could've been shiny and stuff. i mean, the chocobo eater had two tongues. why can't the butterflies have legs?

  • wtf i got 2 ather items Ether and Sahper :S

  • @OwnerOfLive Have you got permanent control of the Airship yet?

  • This mini game ended with me sat in the opticians getting tested to see if I'm colour blind.

  • God that last fucking corner!

  • OMG, i made it but failed cos i went a couple of steps too far so the chest disappeared.....

  • This, along with the Chocobo Catcher and lightning dodging, is bullshit. They should have been easy quests, like Rikku's Godhand or Auron's Masamune. The lightning quest is a perfect example of why people can't make games for shit. 200 dodges is a lot, 150 or even 160 should have been more than enough. Though I have already beaten all of these quests previously, I'm doing them all again (hopefully the Dark Valefor Glitch won't fuck my life up afterwards). Caladbolg powered, but 169 dodges FFFUUU

  • I swear to god I'm at least 3 feet away from them most of the time when they summon a fucking fiend.

  • man this made my day... i been working on these for too long a time and now I missed the last one by only 0.1 sec...

  • HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

    ...At least it's better than Blitzball.

  • s-o-b i cant find the 2nd butterfly place dam lyin 20secs bs

  • actually is 0:35 not 0:31 :p

  • I rather dodge 200 lightningbolts lol

    0:31 that was EXCELENT! i can't do that xD

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

  • what do you do after you've caught the butterfly's?!

  • After MANY tries, I FINALLY DID THIS STUPID THING!!!

    CHOCOBO CATCHER IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY EASIER THAN THAT!!!

  • wait so do you have to do both to get it?

    

  • well this was hell.. you really need to be on drugs or wasted in order to have motivation to keep trying. i know i wouldnt have made it without a couple of cold beers.. i know damn well how they designed this part. they first ran trough the road and timed how long did it take. then, they made that time the goal wich had to be beaten. and after that they added some fucking butterflies to collect and others to to avoid of getting hit. yeah.. i think they fucked up this part.. its too damn hard!!

  • Just stayed dedicated and used the video, honestly, Tidus's was harder. And the Lightning Bolt one was easy, just....tedious. >.> Either way, appreciate the vid, that makes 7/7, woohoo. :)

  • If the lightning bolt one was easy, then I assume you have a failproof strategy for getting 200 easily? Do tell, I was under the impression that it was both tedious AND difficult.

  • @4tehhorde Concentrate, REAAAALLY hard, and just somewhere out in the open. Have good reactions and keep doing it. Make sure you don't have any distractions and just go for it. I got it the first attempt. Actually dodged more like 250 or so just to be safe, cause I was afraid I might've lost count at some point. :/ It comes down to an individual's good reaction time. Oh, and also, have no encounters equipped, since so many bolts hit immediately after one.

  • wait got damn it i did'nt know they had a second one ??? shit :(

  • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! this minigame can fuck my cock i did it yes

  • Fucking butterflies, I never managed to make it :S

  • i did both courses and got the two treasure chests and i didnt get the siegal. is it because i didnt get the the celestial mirror yet?

  • I wanted to get the saturn sigil so bad that my characters were almost done with their first paths on the sphere grid by the time i finally got it lol O_O

  • I think I'm the only one that doesn't get pissed off at the requirements for some of these sigils. I mean the lightning dodging was relaxing (although my pulse went way up at the last 20 bolts to dodge). As long as you're in the right place, you'll get it done in 20 minutes, seriously.

    I'm trying out this butterfly catching game and I almost got the last blue butterfly with 0.1 second to spare but I just wasn't fast enough. Still, I think it's fun, I have a map to help me though.

  • Comment removed

  • And the right place is...?

  • Im sick of trying, it's nice to know it's actually possible to achieve -thanks.

  • dude wtf??

    How come mines start at 26.0???

    0:10

  • chocobo game is atleast do-able the lightning bolt thing was just a complete douch- fuck over and im too lazy 2 do my own research 2 make my own awesome weaps so i just jerk off n get their ultimate/celestial weaps :D

  • does it matter which way round you catch the butterflies or does it gotta be in the order in the video ?

  • does it matter which way round you do them  ?

  • This abomination of a 'mini-game' actually had me looking FORWARD to dodging lightning bolts if I ever beat it.

  • Never beat this mini-game, I found the Chocobo Race to even be easier than this. Then again, last time I tried this game was 6 years ago, I'm afraid of losing my sanity if I try again..

  • this game gets pretty frustrating, but compared to lightning dodging it's easy as hell I think... tidus's chocobo challenge thing is quite a lot harder too

  • @gokusp3 I found the Chocobo Race leaps and bounds easier than this infernal game, because at least getting hit by birds doesn't send you into an unescapable battle with obsolete fiends.

  • @Aldaraia666 well i was playing the butterfly game again and ya it does seem like it might be a bit harder than the chocobo games but its still not quite as hard as the lightning dodging. Also, you could just capture all the fiends you come into contact with (if you haven't already) that way your not just wasting time when you hit a red butterfly.

  • @gokusp3 I played the mini-game and after loads of practice I finally beat it, its not as bad as I though I suppose although it was beginning to fry my mind. xD I never had too much trouble with the Chocobo Catcher for some reason, and I am not looking forward to lightning dodging as I was before o:

  • I keep trying to do this, and its getting me mad. :/ any strategy on how i should walk around them or something? :/

  • this is the stupidest minigame ive ever played on any medium.

  • After watching this video, it was easy getting the sigil

  • fck this shit im not even a fan of Khimari so fck it

  • aw man...!! ok guys there are 4 minigames here a Butterfly Catch....Finding Cactuar,,,,,,Lightning Dodge and Chocobo race for Tidus

  • Remember when you finish the first butterfly race, to not run off the end of the screen in excitement.  If you do (like me) it doesn't count and you have to do it again.

  • @guitarmanmatt I just did that...LOL.

  • GOOOOOD TIMES!!! (2002)

    :)

  • after practicing it looks easy. then the other ones.

  • thank GOD kimari is pretty much useless in ff10 otherwise i would hate it so much! (skips)

  • I just beat em both ^__^

    what was weird that on the second one i hit the red butterfly at about 1:26 and still managed to get the last one in time lol

  • DAMN IT!!! Tidus walks just like my grandma >.>

  • This minigame fucking pisses me off so much, I broke TWO controllers :D

  • wohooo sheeeeesh

    for the first time ever i got kimahris wep fully upgraded :D

  • id rather fight ruby & ememerald weap from FF7 than do this eugh

    im on the 2nd part, its horrendous T_T

  • Thank you, now I will finally be able to dodge the cluster of crimson butterflies at the end of the first trial. =_=

  • That one has got to be the hardest thing since Ruby Weapon.

  • Haha, yes, indeed!^^

    Although I never got a chance to fight Ruby before returning the game... It's really hard, isn't it?

  • @justmikedamnit Ruby Weapon is nothing compared to the Catcher Chocobo thing though. Five hours at half a minute each.

  • @KIngdomKeySRK Hm, I would compare both. The thing is: I've managed to get 0:00:00 like 5 times and then gave up, when playing the US version.

    When I got my hands on an International Version, a few years later, I decided to try again. I was both surprised and angry (I think you'd understand why) to see that in the International Version 0:00:00 IS a valid time - no need to get anything below it.

    I still think Ruby is the ultimate "ZOMG I GIVES UP" Final Fantasy challenge.

  • @justmikedamnit I killed him easy. You just need proper weapons, materia, and stratagy. Emerald was the hard one for me.

  • @justmikedamnit ruby is wayyy easier than nemisis in ffx if you consider the amount of preparing required to beat each of them.

  • wtf? i get ether from the second one?, how can i get kimari celestial w?

  • Thanks to you and the tree-hugging advice, I finally got this. XD I didn't even know that last butterfly was down there -- no wonder I kept losing.

  • i figured it out. at the last bend you have to go throught them. you need to avoid the butterfly closest to the north ^ and head <<< then hug the tree as you go.

  • Dammit. I keep getting screwed over at 0:34. Can anyone help? This is ridiculous.

  • Prize in the first chest is random, yes? Cos I got MP Sphere from it

  • u cannot touch the red ones to get the Sigil right?

  • I mean 0:34 at the corner. My bad. Prostitute butterflies!

  • Lmfao. I 100% agree with you -_-.

  • I got the second part, but I can't get the the first half! I keep getting stuck at 0:35.

    Damn you, satinist butterflies!

  • Something is weird. When I do the minigame, there are way less butterflies, and their location is completely different.

    Why is that?

  • @Omegatron666 You probably haven't been to this location already. Its much nastier when you return with the airship.

  • that wuold be because as you progress in the game, the difficulty of the game gets harder.

  • why the fuck did they put this piece of shit mini game in this game, it doesnt make sense. just like having to dodge 200 lightningbolts

    I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO. (quits ffx)

  • But both are optional though..

  • i know, like really right LOL. the onion knight is the only celestial weapon i didnt finish, because of the lighting bolts lol

  • @timmeydude

    Why not just build your own better weapon anyway. The optional minigames for the "ultimate" weapons are pretty shit overall, and the best weapons are crafted. Better spending 100 hours in omega dungeon to level up and collecting beasts around all of spira to build weapons for everyone, not to mention will be more useful for legitimately defeating all the dark aeons.

  • @timmeydude

    same for me i love the game but i hate those very weak quests

  • yeah, I also hate game, same as for Tidus 0.00 time for Chocobo. if you have more than 5 sec ur time for the last 2 butteflies, its like those red ones stay close to each other, or even though you are still in a distance, a battle scene will occur...

    this FFX is a very good game, yet the side quests are all unjusticeable!!!! Penance with 12M HP?!WTF?! even though not imposible to beat all of them, STIL!!!!! not all players (like me) are very good tatcticians to them T_T

  • i hate this game

  • ^

    word.

  • thanks!

    i have been looking for this video!

  • Thx bro i owe you a beer .

  • someone help me with this!!!!!!!!

    im colorblind! cant tell which one is which!!! fuckn buterflies! they all look blue!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck fuck fuck!

  • thanks! you are my hero!!!

  • AArgh!!!! I just beat it but I left the area by accident!!! Why do they put the last butterfly so close to the exit!!!!???

  • 00:35 is some kind of mindfreak...

  • that part right there is the reason im watching this looool

  • how you record videos in this quality?

  • apparently the butterflys have a triggering square and if you run on it it gets the butter fly without even having to walk into the butterfly

  • i literally just won the chocobo race with 36 seconds 14 balloons and 1 bird,after who knows how many times.ive attempted this butterfly game too,but i always hit a red f'n butterfly.I guess i have no other choice now but to do it....whoever came up with these minigames is a damn asshole.

  • wtf i got 2 megalixiirs instead of a teleport sphere

  • same. gay huh

  • is this playing in slightly fast speed or did you do something special to make him run faster? because he doesn't run that fast in my game.

  • this is fucked for me, i can get the 7 butter flys but when i do all it does is teleport me back to the gay loloking bird with the harp and theres no treasure. there is even time left when i get teleported, wtf is going on? anyone tell me plz?

  • you have to not hit ANY red butterflies at all

  • Because you haven't get the airship. Come back and play again after you're having it.

  • wtf i've tried for sooooo long... and i still haven't got those fuckin butterflies!

  • hahaha. sounds funny your sentence

  • wtf theres 2 butterfly games, omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg you make it looks easy!!!! i fail so many times at this but i try until i get...or i just say forget it il try tomorrow lol

  • Just completed both of the challenges. Many thanks! This was a really useful video!

  • So in order to get the special weapon for the big bad Ronso fighter you have to catch butterflies in an enchanted forest, run over a glittering crystal road to a magical tree and then talk to that tree. Sounds like the text of a Rhapsody of Fire song to me LOL

  • No, to get the weapon, you need to follow this practically invisible cactus man across a field where lightning can smite the ever loving crap out of you.

    The butterfly method makes the weapon suck less. Much, much less.

  • @DoJaenin XD Deep inside the big bad Ronso has a soft spot for butterflies and glitter... ^-^

  • help at 0:35!!! its confusing....always run into a red one. cant get past it!!

  • @DANCE1128 You have to run sort of clinging to the left (Tidus's left) of the road. Hope that helps!

  • I hate you for making it look so easy D =

  • Uhhh... this isn't a fighting game.

  • well, an rpg game

    i dont feel like i have to put so much logic into my words if its a plat form or not

  • Then you disgrace yourself as a gamer. I'm sure you don't care about that at all, but just watch out for those who aren't you that do. You will know them when you see them.

  • at 0:35 i always screw up there

  • I agree, this guy is my hero! I just got this for my girlfriends game and about to get it for my game. I did learn however that on the second part of this, you are able to get into 1 fight and still make it on time. Thanks for the help!

  • You are my hero and I love you. I just rewatched the parts I couldn't get until I did. After one and a half hours I finally got it and I have you to thank.

    Thank you :D

  • This took me 7 hours to complete -.-

  • Ahh, thanks to this I finally found a way to get through the spot that kept screwing me up in the first race... Incredibly helpful, even seven years after the game's release. Thanks!

  • me 2 ...
