eatmyeyeballs Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Chocobo racing? Worst mini game in the history of mini games? I think I've got more chance of platinuming vanquish to be quite honest. EDIT: My bad, just got it. Early venting rage. Complete fluke though Edited March 27, 2014 by eatmyeyeballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Krid Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Chocobo racing really isn't that bad, just takes a bit of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate8787 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I found it incredibly annoying, but the trick is to only control the chocobo using left and right on the analog stick. It's just instinct for me to try to control it by pressing forward on the stick too, but after I stopped doing that I got it on my second or third try.

GrieverLioness Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I played this mini game probably 100s of frustrating times on the PS2 version to try and get Tidus' celestial weapon... I never did. And now I am back at the Calm Lands this time around I'm putting off even trying this trophy. I believe that this and collecting the butterflies might actually prevent me from playing this...

Collecting butterflies is not needed for any trophy. Thank fuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood_Runs_Cold Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Collecting butterflies is not needed for any trophy. Thank fuck! Don't you need to collect the butterflies to get an item for Khimari's ultimate weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheapathic Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Don't you need to collect the butterflies to get an item for Khimari's ultimate weapon? If you want to power up his Celestial Weapon you have to. But the trophy for the Celestial Weapons only requires you to earn the weapons, not power them up.

guillermo Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think its a fine mini game but the controls are bad. When the controls just don't respond how you would think they should then its a problem because you can't adjust or correct it. Sometimes when I'm going for balloons the Chocobo would do an L move when I just tap left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Is the Chocobo racing minigame any difficult on the Vita version? Sometimes certain gameplay can be more difficult on handhelds rather than on consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiatlarge Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Is the Chocobo racing minigame any difficult on the Vita version? Sometimes certain gameplay can be more difficult on handhelds rather than on consoles. I'm finding anything that requires more skill than scrolling a pointer through menus to select attacks and interchange members etc to be more challenging on Vita than I remember on PS2.. I never bothered trying the butterfly catching on the PS2 because it seemed a lot of work for a secondary character, but I did persist with it on Vita the other night for the second set of challenges after you get past Spherimorph... I spent a good half an hour before succeeding, and only tried a couple of times out of curiosity with the second... If I'm going to attempt that one again, I want to make sure the Sigil is on offer, not a megaelixar or HP sphere or something.. Last night I got to the calm lands and did the chocobo training so that I could take the chocobo to Remiem... I can't say it was that tricky, but aside from the first race they all took a few attempts.. I imagine when it is time to go for the Sigil there I will switch over to PS3. Lighting dodges... a bit frustrating without no encounter, and not having an uber strength party to breeze through all the battles, but I was struggling to get 5 in a row. I was never that good at PS2, but I think I got between 50 and 100 a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD2013 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Is the Chocobo racing minigame any difficult on the Vita version? Sometimes certain gameplay can be more difficult on handhelds rather than on consoles. I got Lightning Dancer + Chocobo Rider trophies (and Catching butterflies mini game) on Vita, and Chocobo Master on PS3, so I could say these mini games are easy to unlock on Vita (just my opinion ) Edited March 28, 2014 by LD2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rongaryen Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I did the Chocobo Catcher immediately after it unlocked (it took me the next day after 3-4 hours of trying but, I did it) just so I didn't have to worry about it later on. The butterfly catching was considerably easier than I remember it being 10 years ago. I still have to do the lightning nonsense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrieverLioness Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just got down to 7seconds - quickest time I have ever done I believe. My increasingly angry screams of 'Fuck you, birds!! FUCK you!'

Must be confusing the neighbours right now... You can do it, don't let them weird seagull things drag you down! I found the only way you can get it is if you get a good start and most of the balloons are on your side. Annoyingly you can't cut acros her at the start cause she'll always get ahead of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiatlarge Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Got 4 out of 5 chests at Remiem within half an hour of attempting on Vita. Haven't tried for 5 chests yet, but have done 4, 3, 2 and 1 for their prizes. I care more about Master Thief than I MP at this point.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxia Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 if only there was a way to skip the rest of the race when you know you have no chance of winning it this time :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbySeph Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 the 0.0.0 trophy wasn't that bad. It took me a few tries but I think I got it after about 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiaBBo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I was very surprised because I managed to get the trophy without a good start. I didn't collect any balloons before the turn to right and managed to get the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenexthero Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yeah, When I was going for the 0.0.0, since the balloons spawn in random spots every time you retry, I just kept trying and hoping that they would appear right in front of me or in some easy spots to avoid birds as well... Just started to listen to some music and kept on trying, got it on around my 20th try...? I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanoa Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 At least the trophy doesn't require perfect execution, by that i mean you can get hit twice but still complete the challenge if you get enough balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus Viator Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The absolute key to this race is using the d-pad arrows to steer instead of the analogue stick. Just tap the arrow of whichever direction you want to turn and then hold left or right just before a bird approaches to easily dodge it. Also keep to the right on the first section rather than trying to cut across the trainer or she'll get ahead and grab all the easy balloons you desperately need. Using this I managed it on my 5th try with 12 balloons and no birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzzTheStickman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 is there an invisible barrier in the race, near the end on the home straight? because i swear to christ, i move to the left to avoid a cheap-shot bird and he doesnt move and gets nailed. is there some safe route to avoid those fuckers that appear out of no where?
