Final Fantasy X - Chocobo Race 0:0.0 Seconds

Let's take a small break from KH2 videos. I started replaying FFX for about the 4th time a week ago, and now I'm doing all the annoying sidequests. One of the known worst ones is getting Tidus' Sun Sigil, which is one of the two parts needed for Tidus' ultimate weapon.

To get Tidus' Sigil, you have to get a time of 0:0.0 in the Chocobo Race against the Trainer. Some people say it's skill, but it's mostly luck. Why? You have to just get lucky with the position of the ballons. They're random each attempt, and the ONLY chance you have of getting 0:0.0 is usually if you get around 11-15 ballons, depending on whether you got hit 0-3 times by birds. But let me tell you, the birds are another thing. This is the part where people think the "skill" comes in. It's still mostly luck. You can attempt to dodge the birds, but sometimes they're determined to hit you. You have to hope they hit the Trainer instead. Not to mention the Chocobos are retarded to control. Not only that, but when the screen shifts, the Chocobos tend to turn slightly, usually making you miss a ballon you were hoping to get. And to add insult to injury, if you bounce off the blasted invisible boundries, you'll probably bounce right into a damn bird.

FFX is a great game, my 4th favorite FF I believe, but the sidequests for ultimate weapons' Sigils are completely retarded and tedius. Fortunately it only took me around 15 tries this game, but my first time, it took me like 50 attempts. So while there is some "skill" involved, it's mostly luck on the ballons, and birds part. Not looking too forward to doing the 200 dodges of lighting again this time around...what the hell was Square thinking when they made these challenges?

Words cannot describe how pissed I was at those birds...

[xxxxCROSBYxxxx]

[ngwenzheng]

this is the most fucked up quest i ever played

[linkkicksu]

FOR FUCK SAKE MY BIG DUMB CHICKEN RUNS AT THE BIRDS! I PUSH LEFT, HE STARTS BANKING RIGHT, AND ENDS UP DOING SIG-ZAGS AND SMZCKING INTO BIRDS!

[AdelTheBlind]

The bastard who created this should be fired immediately.

Cool minigame. Not cool when the controls are screwed up.

[Speargate888]

So annoying, but I prefer this over the forbidden chests in FFXII

[RyMaster90]

I got the same time as the freaking video(At the start) 0:0.8!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! Starting to get really pissed! The cloest I got was 0:0.8,0 Birds,And like 11 Balloons I think? Then cloest after that... 16 Balloons and like 7 Birds...(At end I got hit by 1 bird then another and another kept coming)

[MysteriousStealthMan]

I finally got this, but you know what the annoying part was. at end I was sure I got all the balloons I needed, but then what? WHAT!??! I get hit by like 10 fucking birds because They came one after the other I fucking threw the controller at the wall from rage.

[TyroneTasty]

I did all of these back in the day -- and not easily. What the hell was wrong with me?

[xxoxxalixxoxx]

this has gotta be one of the most frustrating side quests. Can't do the butterfly one either, I'd rather dodge 500 lightning bolts than do this again!

[God9OuterSpace]

Finally managed this after just 1,5 hours. 1) If the chocobo is at an extreme angle and you keep pushing the analog stick, the chocobo will start zigzagging. 2) Pray for good random balloons, so that you can run diagonally from balloon to balloon. 3) The play area isn't as big as it seems, learn the borders

[doublebrass]

how?!?!?!? HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH CONTROL???

My chocobo always turns when I don't want it to and doesn't turn when I want it to. Literally! I'm not even touching the controller and he FUCKING MOVES!!!!?!!?!??!?!?!?
