the Volley ball mini game..
Did the devs actually play it?

I mean... if you are going to make a mind-numblingly hard mini game, at least make the controls feel like you are not driving a tank. It feels so so soooo sluggish. and the hitbox doesn't match up with the animation.

I'm begging, please fix it. I'm willing to bang my head against the wall. but not if the controls are making me more frustrated than the actual gameplay.

Everything else about this game is amazing. This is my only gripe.

Yeah I think the devs tried it on a gamepad but I would spit on a stack of bibles before I would consider they tested it on keyboard and mouse.

The challenge of this was also an insult when the rewards for it are just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible.

I switched to my PS5 pad to make this one work, but the hour I spent on it to beat all 3 opponents was not worthwhile AT ALL.

it's not good but let's be honest, it's
1) far from the worst mini game a JRPG ever had
2) only reward you with some of the most underwhelming cosmetics in the game, so it's very skippable.


If the reward was something actually useful (or worse like FFX, one of your best weapons...) or one of the best cosmetic in game, or even tied toi an achievement, that would be pretty annoying, but here honestly, I don't really care that it's not good.
I completed the hard difficulty once and will never do it again. I mean I'm never going to equip that reward anyway...

Damn I had to use CE to beat the hardest one (search 20, 19 and change it to 1). F****** insane :steamsad:
I got the 2nd one, I tried the 3rd and realized I wouldn't get it unless I connect my controller... no thank you.

Unfortunatly you need to win every Gestral Minigame for 100%. Someone knows if you actually have to beat the hardest difficulty of this?

Just have to beat the normal one for the achievement. The strongest is optional for outfits.

Here is a guide how to make it better via cheat engine:

You can't see a ♥♥♥♥ in the arena and controls are way too rigid and sloopy. I don't understand how did they manage to think "oh yes it's good let's put it in the final game". WTF
Here's the trick. See the edge of the enemy's raft, when the ball passes that edge that's when you can shoot.

Your shot is also cone shaped, so you're more likely to miss the closer the ball gets to you, so shoot it earlier rather than later.

According to interviews, the difficulty of the minigame is intentional. It's a purge by design.

Worst dog s!th in the game you miss 1 you really miss 2

Dude it doesn't even stop there, wait till you run into the platforming area. That's great mini game to give heart failure.
Also turn down visual effects on hard difficulty. Particle Effects on high and above sometimes block your view since on hard its two thrown babies at a time
I hate this minigame with every fiber of my humanity
