Easy Chocobo Hot & Cold (for those who are sick of it)

[Xifanie]

Just thought I'd share...
Using the speed booster and Joy2Key (feel free to use any other program) to spam "B" (X button) 2-8 times per second, it really doesn't take long to locate treasures. I would complete the deep lagoon, 8 treasures, in an average of 19 game seconds. Of course, an unevolved Choco is still going to be a pain to deal with no matter what...

I really enjoyed the minigame years ago, but the precision required is just absurb, and it's been driving me more and more insane over the years.

Good idea. For best results make sure that you're walking when speed boost is active. I've been able to average 40-50 seconds at the lagoon.

Yup discovered that a while ago and made a thread about it. :-) Got all the Forest chocographs in like 15 mins.

Warning some people will complain how it is "cheating" to speed up a tideous, time-consuming part of the game you have already beaten several times.

Those people forget that this is just a game and seem to be under the wrong impression that Steam achievements mean anything.

You know those people that back each other on the back for wasting hours of their lives on virtual rope jumping...

Wait, I can already tap a button 7-8 times per second. How does that Joy program help?

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that this doesn't apply to superhumans.

And people like you seem to forget that accomplishments, whether real-life or in a video game, are something that should be shared and celebrated with others. It's nice when people congratulate you on an achievement.

I spent hours of my life getting the jump-rope achievement. Does that somehow make you better than me if you cheated to get the achievement, thereby saving time for whatever else you want to do? No. Does that make me better than you for getting the achievement through my own hard work and effort instead of cheating? I would argue that it does. What if you really tried your hardest and the jump-rope mini-game was still way beyond your abilities so you cheated; would that make my way better than yours? No, because we both gave it our all. If you can say, "I did my best, but I'm still not able to do X," (replacing X with whatever you're talking about) then I would say you deserve an achievement. Maybe you don't deserve to brag that you got it without cheating, but you can brag that you put your all into something.

The above paragraph applies to video games only, not the real world. If you don't have the ability to achieve something in the real world without cheating then you shouldn't do it. Don't cheat on a test. Don't cheat on anything.

Tap that button 7 to 8 times a second for a half-hour straight, then come tell me how your thumb feels.
