For F*****e, that F*****g idiotic Chocobo Catcher

[ツキミ]

Can someone have way to unlock Tidus Celestal Weapon without doing this 0.00 thing. This is utterly b*****t.

[Ludus Aurea]

OR alternatively, I have an idea.

Get good.

But no really just keep trying. There is no rhyme, reason, logic, or pattern to this.

I did all the weapons once on PS2 when I was a kid. Started to loathe the game and never finished it.

Now I ignored this BS and just enjoyed it to the end....

Worst part is this isnt the hardest chocobo part in the game - that dishonor goes to the 5 chests during the requiem temple race achievement - you have literally a 3-5 second gap to get to the finish in front of the other chocobo
this is kinda easy compared to that since you can have luck affect the result

Yeah, but you do not need the 5 chests in any way since they just give consumables that can be grinded in other ways.

suppose but if you are planning to 100% the achievements like I am then it is required :(
took me 30 trys simply because of bumping into the walls due to bad controls that change as the camera moves compared to the 6 trys for 0 0 0

I agree that the controls and camera angles were awful. I also found this harder than Catcher Chocobo as there is absolutely no leeway. You HAVE to do a perfect run.

That part is significantly easier than the training. The problem is that there are elements of both that are random AF and sometimes the other chocobo goes twice your speed, sometimes it's slow. You have to memorize the route, turn perfectly, and keep restarting until you get a slow chocobo opponent.

That one has a pattern that never changes and you will always be able to follow it. The catcher is complete bullsh*t and has no pattern. Sometimes there are 8 sh*ttons of balloons right at the beginning and you just have to get them then not screw up, sometimes there are 17 birds that hit you in a row because it stunlocks you.

I got to a point where I actually had my friends on PS3 upload their saves and I did it for them, took a couple min, because it was at least better than the hyper bullsh*t catcher.

hence why I said luck is a factor. The worst part of the catcher is that corner and near the end due to no dodge room and little warning of a bird, the worst part of the race is the small track space and time wasted kissing the walls
you can get a perfect run for the 0 0 0 easily if the opening balloons are in a row and you get in front to bait the birds to hit the trainer, just takes practice

[Govalon]

In the remiem temple, you can hit the poles and still get the achievement as long as you get the 5 chests and win. This fact made it a lot easier for me since you don't need to turn"perfectly". You miss the the good item prize whatever it was if you hit poles but getting achievement is easier.

[Ludus Aurea]

Yea, it's infuriating. I've definitely broken at least one controller since 2001 because of that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Chocobocobullsh*t.

You can always use CheatEngine to change your balloon count to 99.

But that's no fun.

On the contrary.

I'd say that sticking it to the obviously overly sadistic developer that was in charge of designing these particularly abysmal minigames is an exceedingly large amount of fun if you imagine their smug facial expression being ground down into dust over time, with each and every person that cheats their way through.

Certainly more fun than actually playing the mini-game straight up 'as intended'; that's for sure.


A shame really; FF X is incredibly well designed from a game systems perspective and then the chocobo and lightning dodging mini-games crap all over that.

[Ludus Aurea]

Rofl couldn't agree more.

[chrcoluk]

turn right slightly at start, aim to get at least 3 balloons before thr turn.

After the turn two birds will go for the catcher, two for you, make sure you dont get hit and she does. Then its a bit luck of the draw the position of the baloons between you and the end as you still have to dodge the birds that target you, only tap the direction change, dont over do it.

The cheat engine table I used for the lightning dodges does have a section for this, I didnt use it but it is there if you find this too frustrating.

that thing was easy because I had both Valfaris and Ifrit on full overdrive.
I had Valfaris use its overdrive twice because the Chocobo eater kept missing when attacking Valfaris and the overdrive gauge filled itself all the time it missed xD

so yea make sure you have your aeons on full overdrive before fighting that thing and its easy.
