after 5-6 hours over 2 days, THANK YOU!!! i watched a handful of guides but i felt like yours had the best advice. i made it with 12 balloons, 0 birds, and about 34 seconds. it's SO RNG BASED it's crazy.. it just takes a LOT of patience and a crap ton of luck. it was a miracle i managed to dodge so many birds at the end. to those attempting this, don't give up!!

Been trying for hours. Watching your video while trying, and got that perfect. Thanks for the tips. It helped a lot..

Watched this after hours of trying, and just nailed it. Kudos!👏

Watched your video... implemented everything... and literally got it on my 3rd try 😅 Got 3 balloons in phase one and gave up mentally,,, then in phase two it just seemed like magic. This saved me so much time! Thank you. ♥️

First time trying this, went straight to a guide before starting because of how notorious this minigame is. 15 tries, aced it. Appreciate the advice!!!

out of all the chocobo racing guides, i think this is the best one

Don't quit and take breaks because doing it over and over when you are frustrated will make it worse, RNG!

Not just that but the majority of the time you can't focus on one balloon without a bird deciding to come your way every chance they get. The lack of freedom of movement makes it feel like you're on some kind of track with an invisible barrier which is really stupid

Omfg thank you bro! I literally attempted this for days straight, watched your video and my very first attempt after I got it! I think the key is not getting greedy. You only need 4 in each section and the first section has no birds. Get four and then play safe till the next.

I just wanted to thank you man I FINALLY did this mini game and got Tidus ultimate weapon so stoked

When I played through on the PS2 first time it took me about five and a half hours to complete it. Everything you say is correct this mainly takes patience and knowing for a fact that it will not be done in a short amount of time. My quickest is 15 minutes but that's only happened once, my other six playthroughs took at least 45 minutes

JRPG Mickey - Walkthroughs & Guides well tbh, this is my first ever playthrough of the game. So there are many things I don’t fully know yet. Guides for superbosses, or a guide showing how to obtain each celestial weapon would prob help me, and many others out. That’s just a couple ideas I can think of. Haha! I’m currently on a binge of a bunch of the FF games, so actually once I beat FFX + the super bosses, I’m moving to FF12 then FF15 after as well, haha! Personally, there aren’t enough good/easy to follow guides for many of the final fantasy games, so any of the FF games might be a good idea to do guides/vids on 🙂

JRPG Mickey - Walkthroughs & Guides JRPG Mickey - Walkthroughs & Guides Ngl, compared to something like FF9’s story, FF10 isnt nearly as good imo. But 10’s gameplay is far better. So if X-2’s gameplay is good enough, it can def make up for bad/mediocre storytelling. Gotta love some fun gameplay, regardless 😁 haha! I’ll def try X-2 before I move to 12 then. Cuz X-2 came with my X Copy anyway. But np man. Ty for the game suggestion, I’ll def give it a go after X is complete.

To this very day this is the only section of a game EVER to push me to the brink of my sanity. And what’s infuriating is it’s essential to beat for the ultimate weapon

Great video! I think I'll give this horrible mini game an other chance in a few days... when my nerves are cooled down a bit. Quit the game in furios rage after 2 hours of pure frustration...

excellent guide. thank you. any chance of finishing the ffx playthru? I've been thru the game four or five times and seem to get more out of it each time.

Bro thank you so much the left and right dodging was fucking me all up

the best explain ever

My chocobo watched "it" because he runs from the red balloons and he sings "i like a bird"

THKS SO MUCH, after only 3 hours I did 35/36 seconds with 12 balloons and 0 bird :D (I didn't even have a good rng to begin with but the trainer was doing shit at the start and let me take the balloons x') )

I spent about 1 1/2 hours last night trying this. During lunch on my work setup(steam deck with ps5 controller, earbuds, and nreal glasses. Cannot recommend enough. I crack my windows and play for an hour a day where the misses can’t get mad at me) I booted it up to go to Remiem for the aeon fights. I decide to try the race a couple of times. I get it first try. I shit you not. It was super close but I had a perfect start, had a near perfect 2nd part, and did well on the 3rd part. I think it was something like 3 birds 15 balloons. I don’t think I could have cut it closer.

I wouldn't say dodging 200 lightning bolts was "hard" per say. Just a test of endurance. The timing for pressing X was easy enough. My issue was finding a spot where the thunderbolt strike rate was consistent. After that, I wound up doing 50 dodge increments, taking breaks in between, and got it after like 20 minutes.

Hint - hold down left during phase 3

Omg thank you so much. I was at my wits end with this stupid shit. I literally got it the first try after watching this. FINALLY!

managed to get to 0:00:9 after watching this video... now stuck again, as if the game realized I found a good method and now is going against it. -_- Edit: Noticing how I can't keep going further like the AI is learning, I restarted from my last checkpoint and finally managed to get 0:00:00 after three tries. So thank you so much, yours really is the most helpfull guide.... still screw this brokken ass minigame. I feel like square forgot the difference between challenging and "have no life" Not sure why they even made this game the way it is: Like at least give free movement of the cocobo, insert a dodge button or at least give an option to go into a menu and restart the game instantly, when you realize you can't win anymore, instead of having to go the whole thing to the end. Actually a lot of the minigames in this game are just horrible and again, No idea how none of them where fixed during the remasters.

update: woke up, about 30 minutes of racing in, I got it! 35.3, 15 Balloons! 1 Bird, -6.7!, I was so tilted yesterday after going at it for hours! Great advice, breaking it down into phases really helped conceptualize what I had to do in each section to get a good time.

I would rather do the lighting dodge 1000 times in a row using the crater trick rather than the 0.0 chocobo race. I am just so bad at the race but so good at lighting dodge at the same time.

Ok so I listened to this 3 times thru on spotty connection and after like 50ish attempts I absentmindedly got -4 seconds what in the absolute fuck Thank you man

Question who thought it was a good idea to have the chcobo race done with the d pad instead of the along stick

yeah this is impossible lmao the chocobbo ALWAYS runs towards the birds and AWAY from the ballons. impossible to beat

I wish I knew these strats when I first tried doing this lol I managed to do it by pure luck 😂😂

Your final run had 3 balloons in phase 1 but then you got 6-7 in phase 2 lol. Trainer was hit twice at the start and a total of 8 times. So you already had 9-10 balloons approaching phase 3 with the trainer having no hope whatsoever of interfering Its what we call good RNG

A friend of mine just did it and meant you have to technicly get below 0:00

I am attempting this and I have to say that it’s not a hard mini game at all, just terrible controls. All around the game has terrible controls, but it only really becomes apparent when precision becomes necessary and on the back of a chocobo it feels like a shopping cart with one jank wheel.

Hate to be that guy, but once you learn how to get past the first section with RNG it’s a breeze. You just have to be okay with resetting over and over until u get the right start. Also after u make the hard right in phase 1, bounce off the invisible wall to take the second turn.

Literally all the birds go for me and none go for the trainer. GG devs!

It’s an amazing game but developers got sloppy and designed poor mini games just to come back and say you must beat these mini games to acquire key items for the strongest weapons in the game. For me personally I feel it’s a slap in the face, just my personal opinion.
