Alternate Title: *Ways Square Enix wants to test your patience Final Fantasy Edition.*
Or waste you time. I tried getting the zodiac spear the light way in ff12:tza and after 2 hours of running spawning that dam chest an getting nothing I just cheat it out..
@@dantevic you can get it a lot easier if you do the Trophy Hunt Club
I finished FF10 on almost every system it released on and never managed to get a single ultimate weapon. Don't know what it is about these mini games but i just can't deal with them really makes me appreciate how relatively straightforward it is to get them in the tales series, especially in vesperia where you have pretty much 2 different sets of ultimate weapons.
Truth 😆😂
I still have ptsd about the ffx minigames, the chocobo race one specially. The only celestial weapon that was kind of fun to obtain was Yuna's, imo
The Chocobo racing was really easy for me. On my 2 playthroughs, only the first one took me more than 1 attempt. Fuck the lightning dodge though, I’ll just as soon stop using Lulu than go after her celestial weapon. Yuna is a better black mage anyway when you get to the late game and expand her sphere grid.
@@Futt_Buckers Lulu's minigame is terrible too, but i surprisingly still had less trouble getting her celestial than Tidus'. It just takes a LOT of focus haha but it's awful too
I always found the butterfly catching worse than the lightning personally. Catcher Chocobo is by far the worst though.
As someone who finally did the complete FFX 100%, the only part I was truly unhappy about was the amount of resets it took to get everyone's 3 slot triple AP weapons from One-Eye using only Yojimbo. I probably could have done grinding to make it so I could kill him on my own but I didn't and it was nearly 50 hours of resets.
You should’ve only gotten the 3 needed and come back once you can kill one eye easily
What also makes Caldbolg so hard to obtain is that if you don't get the second element (Sun Crest) the first time you can, then when you come back, it's protected by Dark Bahamut.
In hd remaster perhaps.
In original you can never go back and get it
@@Kspice9000 If by 'original' you mean the Japanese release, you might be right. I've not plated that version, so I can't say what's possible and what isn't. But it was possible to go back and get the Sun Crest in the international versions back in 2001.
F++king chochobo race f**king blue butterfly 😑
It’s permanently missable in the original US release too, if I remember correctly! It’s been a long time since I played it but I don’t think the dark aeons were present at all in that version.
I just can get below zero on the chocabo race lol
Those FFX weapons. Wheeew.
Trying to make completionists actively hate your game is a bold move, no doubt.
Masamune, Nirvana and Godhand? Easy sleazy guaranteezy. Beat the game thanks in part to those. The others? Fuck that.
@@civilwildman those 3 are so boring and take so long and the rest are so anoying, except Kimahri’s weapon. That one is fun and pretty easy
Hate, hate, hate those. I did them all, ONCE. stupidly, on different save files 😂. So I have one with all but Lulus maxed out, and one with all but Kimahri’s maxed out 😂.
@@sebastianludviksen3959 I cannot get that one anymore. Did it once. Can’t do it now. Just got remastered version and hoping to nail them all this time around.
Back in the day, I had an absolutely legendary FFX file, I was pretty obsessed with that game. I had everyone's celestial weapons maxed, along with two sets of ultimate armlets, countless hours spent in Blitzball, and an unheard of record of 551 lightning bolts dodged in Thunder Plains; I shit you all not, I WISH I had the footage. It literally took me over 2 hours of pure concentration, and upon exhaustion, I chose to end the record instead of being struck randomly, and the reason I went that high was because I couldnt keep track of how many bolts I'd had dodged, so out of fear I kept going, and going.
You two make such well-produced, informative, and downright cozy videos. It's a joy seeing info about Final Fantasy games I've never touched, and just hearing your perspective on ones that I have. They're wonderful to see on a rainy day! Thank you both for this channel, and these videos!
It's our pleasure! ^^ ~Darryl
@@FinalFantasyUnion app games like opera omnia do not count.........anyone can get ANY burst they want if they just have control............gacha app games are by far NOT official games
Really glad I found this channel a while back. High quality content.
I’ve gotten Caladbolg on every one of my many ffx playthroughs and I rage at that stupid Chocobo race EVERY TIME!
Still can’t finish this quest!
Isn't that one the easiest/fastest ultimate weapon to get in 10?
@@dcphillips1991 the chocobo bit could take you 1 try, it could take you 1000. it's definitely one of the most rng ultimates to get
@@dcphillips1991 Yeah it's generally easy to get, never had an issue finishing the race in a handful of attempts myself. It can however be a brutally hard weapon too depending on if your game has Dark Aeons and whether you forget to pick up the Sun Crest after defeating Yunalesca, in that case you will have Dark Bahamut standing in your way whom you will have to defeat which is a really tough fight if you don't want to cheap out with Yojimbo's Zanmato (I begrudgingly did this during my first playthrough).
@@kingkongzc The RNG isnt that bad. Skip the first balloon and and directly at the second and you directly have a huge advantage. Ive never had it take me a 1000 tries. Sure, I havent got it on the first try, but I always get it within an hour, which makes it one of the quickest weapons to complete together with the Spirit Lance.
Danjuro from FFXII. Not the Zodiac Age version, where the trial mode allows you to basically get it for free. I'm talking about chaining gargoyles in Giruvegan, then going into the great crystal and getting 256 necrophebes to divide, then killing the Larva Eater for a 12% chance to get the best dagger.
Yeah. Those hours of darkness for the sake of having all obtainable weapons 😱
Love your content, also if I was to add one - the Mythic weapons from FFXI were insane. Especially back in the day, where you would only see a handful of mythics per server. I still shutter at the idea of 30,000 Alexandrite
I cannot stress to you all how much this channel means to me. Final Fantasy has been a constant in my life and its the franchise I feel at home and love the most, so seeing this channel with such in depth and granular analysis on characters, lore, jobs and everything else has been a complete treasure!
I love the vanille cover, also nice shout-out to OperaOmnia 👑💗 it hasn't been forgotten
they finally made seph and warrior of light good again with the banner up now and reworkings
@@Cherubim666999 woo hoo.... more fan service 🗑🗑🗑
this is my third attempt at watching this video. I put it on while relaxing twice and never made it past Caladbolg before dozing off. Love the channel
Great video :) I've literally just bought 2 new controllers while doing Tidus Ultimate weapon with the bloody chocobo race! If only I had to dodge the balloons and hit the birds I'd rock at that race!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still have nightmares from that Chocobo-minigame! Even completed it again in the remaster...
Whe I saw this title, I was like "If they don't include Caladbold from FFX, they have a brain leak."
Also, Onion Knight in FFX had a cheese strat. A spot on the Thunder Plains where you could trigger a lightning bolt at will, which involved one of the towers and as such granted you a safe spot to take a break, and it still works in all the HD remasters.
I class myself as an expert at the chocobo racing in FFX as I've done it so many times. I can usually get the sun sigil very quickly. I paid my mate £5 to do it for me the first time though 😂
Same. I've played the game many times and can get the sigil in a few attempts. Will always remember the frustrations of doing it the first time though.
Same! Never had trouble with the Caladbolg. World Champion is way worse just because it's so boring.
Well I'll pay YOU £5 to do it for me
@@timthetoolpool I love Blitzball so i don't really care for my concern.
@@Cloud971 You are a paragon of patience. Haha
I always found Wakka’s weapon to be second most difficult to get after Lulu’s. Tidus’ was tricky but because it was fun it never took that long but Blitzball was duuuuuuull and I hated grinding thru it just for that sigil!
I found Blitzball fun! Was actually pretty gutted that I had nothing to work towards after the Sigil 😅 Lulu’s was easy for me with the crater trick. Kimahris was the worst and not enjoyable at all 😑
Easiest to hardest imo
Yuna
Rikku
Auron
Tidus
Wakka
Lulu
Kimahri
I hate Kimahri the most too.
How do you people find Lulu's weapon hard to get?..... Every video that talks about hard things to do in FF he mentions Lulu's weapon and it's not even hard. The music tells you exactly when to dodge
@@HoloTWWOriginal In 20 years, I had no idea the music had anything to do with dodging the lightning. How does it work?
Cloud's hard weapon is something no one seems to be able to obtain. Tifa can't get it, Barret can't get it, and Aerith literally dies trying.
I think I had to use Vincent with Chaos
@@mattitude4464 I'd ship Cloud and Vincent ❤
Ooooh!!! I love Fuzzfinger's videos! He's very detailed in explaining
I always learn something new every time you upload. I’m playing to get Final Fantasy 9 and I’m very excited to play. Thank you for uploading these videos!
You're most welcome Gentashin, glad you enjoyed the video :) ~Darryl
Do it! I didn’t play 9 for so long. I’ve played basically every ff and waited for 9 until last because I didn’t think I’d like it. I think it’s now in my top 3. Beautiful game
That video a few years ago was one of the 1st videos I saw on your channel. Can't believe I've been subbed for so long. Keep up the great work
There's some misinformation here. The Chocobo minigames in FFX only the very first challenge does the chocobo move in random directions. After clearing the first challenge, the Chocobo does obey the player's directions. Meaning Dodger Chocobo, Hyper Dodger Chocobo, and Catcher Chocobo, you have full control over your chocobo. The only time the chocobo will ever turn on its own, is if the player wanders out of bounds.
Honestly, the only issue with the last challenge is trying to grab enough balloons and still win. You're going to get hit anyway so grabbing balloons while staying ahead of the trainer should be priority.
The only misinformation here is you.
Great video! Dunno if someone already mentioned this, but for Dissidia Opera Omnia Burst aren't the strongest weapon in JP anymore, they've gotten weapons actually called "Ultima Weapon" now. It doesn't have a burst phase, but it provides a huge stat boost.
I recorded a time under 1 second 3 times in that chocobo race. Never got the sun sigil. It soured me on FFX for good
Yeah, right? The game has many clear qualities, but every side goal seems to exist only to test your goodwill.
I want to retry it at some point, but that damn chocobo will stay in their farm foreve and become the next Big Chocobo for all I care!
I love the direction you are taking your channel! Keep up the great work.
Great content man 🙏 look forward to the part two of the history of square 😊 great job 👏
Thanks BenJokerr! We're beyond excited to share it with everyone! ~Darryl
Hey, thanks for including stuff from the legends series!
You're most welcome!
For FFX Caladbog was so much more frustrating than any other of the celestial weapons. I got the 200 lightning bolts first try, but the Chocobo racing was so rng based it made me feel helpless
I was way too emotional after getting each ff10 celestial weapon 😭
If you think getting the burst weapons from DFFOO was bad, there's Burst+ weapons too.
You play dffo?!?!?!?!? I love dffo
I learned by accident with the X|X-2 version of FFX that the Chocobo race mini game is highly adaptive. Out of rage I purposely held left on the controller and managed to get stuck in a corner taking over 3 minutes to complete the attempt. I beat the challenge on my next attempt as hardly any birds or balls came my way. so I believe you can cheese the challenge by sandbagging your first attempt and then simply trying your second.
Life was so good when FFX was new. Funny enough I never had any issue with the Chocobo races or blitzball (played it to death anyway). It was dodging lightning 100 times straight where I gave up on.
It's 200 times. So it just got twice as bad for you haha
@@forevermagus7706 it's even worst than I remember. I played the game over 7 times now so I doubt I'll play it again.
Hi. Thanks for making cool videos that take me back to my most beloved games. Also, thanks for taking the time to make save points in the video. It's a bit of extra work that reminds me of true RPGs.
I'm surprised none of the relic weapons of FF14 are in here, as they all require an intense grind. Still working on my first Resistance Weapon, grinding Eden raids for 60 crystals, after also doing Omega and Alexander raids 60 times each. And that was just one part of the grind.
TEA weapons are much more difficult to get than resistance weapons IMO. Relics this expac are extremely forgiving compared to previous ones like ARR.
@@goldenwoody79 I just looked it up and yeah, it certainly seems like a challenging boss rush, but upon completion you get a totem, which is all you need for the weapon. Meanwhile the Relic Weapons, including the Resistance Weapons, are far more grindy. I'd agree if you needed like 5 or 10 totems for the weapon, but if you're just gearing one class, you just need one completion. If you got yourself a dedicated static who know what they're doing, you'll get it. But with the relic weapons, they're not too difficult, but they take forever for your first one. I only just recently got my DNC Resistance Weapon the other day, and that's the only completed Relic Weapon I have.
@@AzureKyle I think you're underplaying how much time gets put into progging an ultimate. I've completed UWU(Easiest of the 3) and my group ran for 2 months, 9 hours a week before 5.4 then shenanigans happened and we had to regroup after the savage tier to reprog for another 2 months at 9 hours/week.
Overall now I can get multiple weapons easily but the amount of time you need to put into progging the fight trumps relic weapons by far IMO in terms of overall difficulty/patience. Just coming from someone that has completed a relic on all of the expansions as well as completing the easiest ultimate
@@goldenwoody79 True, I haven't even attempted any ultimate, only just completing E9S two weeks ago. I suppose I was basing it off of that, because I was with a leaning group in my FC that ran it 2 hours a day, one day a week, and we got first clear after like the 4th week, about 7 1/2 hours total, with the last half hour starting E10S
i havent paid any attention to this video but your voice with the background music is so damn calming! just straight zen lol
Last play through, I got the sun sigil on my first attempt. The playthrough before that, I got it on my second attempt.
There are 5-6 different maps of where the balloons are placed. There are 2 that I can tell you right at the start have the possibility of being a winning run.
Yeah the ones where you don't have to move at the start to get the balloons. :)
i've never played a Final Fantasy game yet i LOVE the videos you make about its mechanics and lore
Thanks for including Final Fantasy Legend 2!
I never had a problem doing the chocobo races on ffx, even back when it first came out and I played the game to death I remember passing these fast and then I played the remastered version on PS3 and still didn't have problems and once again I played the remastered version on PS4 and still did it easy. Just something my brain snapped to learning very quickly and was able to do it always with just a couple of races, the lightning one is easy if you have patience and know the area to make it happen when you want so it's not hard in a challenging way just in a tolerance way and will show how much dedicated time can you give in one go if you want a guarantee win.
I love how FFX still has such a solid community. More of a reason for ..... FFX-3?...... ;)))))
Loving all the content and even more so now that FFXIV is getting mixed in more often. Also I'm super hype for the next part in the Square Documentary! (Imagine telling a child version of yourself you're excited for a documentary?). Random thoughts aside keep up the great work and I'll see you in the next one! :D
The Epic o Alexander is so hard, a static (group of people playing together to clear raid) are averaging at 100-120 hours of progress to clear it. Which mean 2-3 months of you dying over and over again with the same people.
It need commitment, and patience big enough for you and your team to not blow up and breaking up the static because impatience.
Also, if you join a static for TEA, you automatically agreed to re clear it for loots, because finding new people to clear it again is painful.
I can't believe I conquered the FFX chocobo races and the lightning dodges back in the PS2 days. I don't think I'll be doing it again in the remaster.
Next you should make a video about the hardest puzzles required to progress in story. First, is the clock puzzle in Ffxiii2. One person literally made a program to solve the puzzles because it becomes so hard to solve in the later games
Love the Highwind theme on the background.
As someone with multiple TEA clears, the hardest part of that entire fight is the first phase. Whilst the later mechanics definitely get more complex, they only punish you by getting them incorrect. The first phase has adds that you need to weaken and feed to Living Liquid, and if you kill them they wipe the party. The amount of wipes on that phase because of accidental direct critical hits my static has had is insane as it's something you can't really control 100% of the time XD
So while the info on the Burst weapons in Opera Omnia is correct, you did also neglect to mention that there is a token system that allows you to grab a BT weapon is you have 50 of them. While it still is hard to get a Burst, just like woth the lightning dodging in X, there is a way to not make it so bad. Otherwise, great video. Love to see your vids pop up in my notifications
They also forgot to mention Ultima Weapons, though I can kinda see why they didn’t considering grabbing those in comparison isn’t nearly as hard.
Damn they even added in Opera Omnia
With Opera Omnia i have several Burst weapons. I have Terra's, Firion's, 2 of The Emperor's, Yuna's, and Garland's. Terra and Firion were my biggest i wants, really would like the ones for Lulu, Beatrix and Agrias.
I struggled quite a bit to get to the final chocobo race in FFX, but once I got there I got it on my second try. Luck definitely had everything to do with it!
I remember getting just 0 seconds on chocobo race and not winning I was so mad or just 1 second I broke so many controllers. Or when you did so good the whole race and ultra instinct dodged everything but right at the end 3 balls and 2 birds smack right into you
i actually did the FFX celestial weapon run. the longest one was the blitzball one even with the AI exploit. though the Chocobo was frustrating in if you got hit or got stuck on that sharp turn's geometry then you'd have to restart. The easiest one had to be Lulu's lightning dodger because of a certain exploit on the map where you know lightning will strike when you enter that spot
Love these type of videos, there's a reason the first part has a million views :)
So glad to see Opera Omnia on this video!
Unrelated but words still cannot explain how much I adore the people that run this channel. There’s just something about their aura that’s not only calming but really fun to be around. Kinda like Zeltik.
Fuzzfinger had my whole party equipped with Seitengrats. It was silly strong.
shoutout to a super good user. Cool to see another fan
Hardest Ultimate weapons in the FF series?
FFXII: "Hello! It is me again!"
I'm so glad that you put dissdia in that video because man ^^ its truly luck to have Burst weapons but I'm glad that I menage to get a couples of them 😄😄😄
Yet another great video guys!!! I tried to get seitengrad before and even with the rng been manipulated i ended up timing it wrong and I didn’t get it so I gave up 😂
Thanks Mia! Best of luck to you, should you ever attempt to get Seitengrat again! :D
cries in xbox
@@FinalFantasyUnion no problem!! And thank you I’m sure I’ll have the mental energy to tackle it again someday 😂 miss you!!!
Ugh the Chocobo race one is one of the reasons I didn't finish FFX. I believe even now it would still be impossible for me to even attempt that one.
I finished the game 2 weeks ago but that was before I got very triggered by losing out on the getting the 0:00 time by 5 seconds
You know you can beat the game without ever touching any of these minigames right? I didn't get a single ultimate weapon
@@Walamonga1313 I did. But I was hard set on those weapons
@@Walamonga1313 I know but personally I like trying to get the ultimate weapons for end game
SWEET!!! I love your videos so much!!
The choccobo race nearly broke me, I was yelling at the TV at 1:30 in the morning about broken Choccobo pathing and aimbot birds...in the end I beat it, but man if that was not one of the most annoying things I did in a videogame.
Imagine if Boromir didn't get the One Ring because the number of times he blinked in a day once was a prime number. FFXII seems do ridiculous in its idea of getting the best weapons.
Only Zodiac Spear from the original XII, and Seitengrat from TZA are really that ridiculous. But all of the other best weapons, including the zodiac spear in TZA, aren't bad at all to get, you'll even come across a handful of them if you're pretty thorough about searching through each area and combing over things a couple times for the RNG chests. Spend some extra time in Pharos/Cerobi Steppe/Sochen Cave Palace and do the hunt club and you'll have most of them.
That Chocobo racing to get the Sun Sigil was pretty much designed by Satan himself.
And I completed it. I haven't played X since.
For me the absolute worst one was the butterfly catching. I always managed to screw up with a red somehow near the end. It's the only weapon I did not complete. aka Kihmaris
For me, it was dodging the lightning consecutively. That's the only final weapon in X that I have given up on.
@@migjordanpayawal7856 See, I find lightning dodging MASSIVELY less terrible than getting a 0 score on Chcoobo Racing. That's legitimately one of the deepest levels of hell imo.
With lightning dodging, the trick is that the light flashing is what needs to trigger the button press, not the sound cue. My advice? Sit in a dark room, mute the sound, and don't really look AT the TV - just look to the side, and press it when you see a flash.
It's actually a pretty decent input period. It's just that the ambient design of the lightning plains works against you, with sound effects and other light cues, music, etc. So taking away those distractions makes it pretty easy.
It's definitely boring, and it certainly gets stressful as you approach 200, but it's so much better than chocobo racing.
@@PhilipLightforge I hate that one too much much more than Tidus Caladbolg.
I remember trying to get the sun sigil. The best I could get was ~+1 second. For the life of me, I could never get better than that.
4:15 One correction here: the chocobo during the last challenge doesn't actually change it's path at random. You can even see this is the case in the footage. There were also no blitzballs, though that's superfluous on my part. Unless of course you were talking about the challenges as a whole up to the last one having included such, but it's fine. The challenge itself is bad enough, but imagining it with added random movements gives me a headache. I still remember doing it on my Vita in high school during class. Good times.
It _does_ change at random though, that's the ultimate kick in the blitzballs. It became such a headache for so many of us solely because of the randomization element, virtually negating any chance of winning the sigil through sheer practice or skill alone.
@@crispycrunch9971 Except that the chocobo doesn't change direction randomly, and I'm tired of people saying it does with no proof. When I initially tried the minigame, I thought so as well (and did a ton of googling to find any official information on it), but that isn't the case. After hours of practicing that damnable game to get the sigil, the only time your chocobo will change direction is if you hit an invisible wall. That's why you stay toward the middle of the course and NEVER hug the edges. After that, it's just knowing which balloons you can safely grab and trying to avoid triggering the birds' spawn points.
So yeah, the game IS skill-based, but it's made hard because the controls are awful, there are numerous invisible walls, and some of the birds' spawn points are unfair as fuck.
Whenever there is RNG/Gacha involved, there's a bad time to be had in games.
Agreed. Some of that footage Square has rolled out for its mobile titles, particularly Mobius and that FFX Anniversary event, looks amazing- but I can't bring myself to play games of that style due to the rng/ gacha mechanics (and it being mobile).
Ngl Gacha in DFFOO is quite generous, dare i say it's the most generous gacha after Summon plan for FFBE. And the gameplay doesn't need so much gacha separately like most of gacha games nowadays (separated banners character, weapon, armor, and others) most of the time you'll be grinding and building a good party combo.
I'm quite familiar with DFFOO so believe me when I say that when compared with other games this one stands in a class of its own in terms of banner rates and currency the game throws at you. SQEX is managing/developing this game really well and I have been a part of it for 3 or so years now due to that! Feel free to try it out one day and let me know what you think lmaoo
@@CrispyGamingOfficial OG player approved, been playing before the Summon & character board got invented. It's absolutely F2P friendly and the game itself isn't even pushy about making a real-currency purchase an obligation, the only time anyone probably need it is when anyone buy a mog pass (which includes Mog token that can be traded with BT token / other hard-to-get materials) because the board grind takes so much time, especially with non-synergy / event-featured character. Other than that are just a mere skin / weapon gloss and hard-to-get materials.
Or terrible controls (ahem FFX chocobo race)
The funny thing is I didn’t even know the overpowered bow existed when I randomly bumped into it in ff12. I was like “huh? What’s this?” So luck was on my side and I didn’t even know it 😅
Wow didn't expect to see Opera Omnia listed ^^
Also, I would contend that the best entry for FF14 are the 1.0 Relic Weapons - both because they were insanely difficult to obtain (Hamlet was a pain) and because well... they're unobtainable anymore lol. They got re-created for ARR, but their original forms (which were also utterly game-breaking and amazing) no longer exist and as I said, can no longer be obtained.
I felt extremely lucky when I went Sigil hunting in FFX. I got the Sun Sigil in two tries. I'd like to offer a correction, however. In the final Chocobo race, your chocobo will listen to your commands 100%. There is no randomness involved in its movement.
For me, it was Tifa's Premium Heart in FF7, just because I could never find the damn key to return to Midgar. I spent hours searching Bone Village, but never found it.
That chocobo race still gives me nightmares
Back in the day, Caladbolg was really hard for me to get. It wasn't because of the sun sigil, it was the sun crest. I didn't pick it up after I had beaten Yunalesca so when I went back, well you all know what is waiting for you in that room.
Α dark beefy boi.
DARK BAHAMUT
Even with Bahamuth waiting there, you could still get it without confronting him, just had to take the stairs on the left of the room that connects to the back stairs where the chest is.
Our best friend Bahamut? ;)
@@ShinigamiD3ath Nope, because as soon you enter the room where Yunalesca was; the fight starts right away. You have no time to get to that stair. You have to get that Crest at the moment you defeat Yunalesca. Just re-doing the game now.
I remember getting all the FFX ultimate weapons. Felt so good to have all that power and a full sphere grid
That f****** choccobo race in 10. The one time I rage quit and broke a controller. Ugh
I tried to beat that race at a friend's house, and haven't been happy since.
The only one I'd push back on are the burst weapons. If you were to start a new account today, you can get a premium mog pass, which boost your Summon board farming, but more importantly gives you burst weapon tokens. In order to get a free burst you you need 50. The mog pass gives you 10 of them. So you can either wail on the premium pass for 4 months, or do challenge quest which are lvl 180 quest that give you a burst token. The challenge quest require you to use the surgery character for that event, but even if you start a new account, just playing for around a month or two you'd be able to get them done in no time. In regards to burst+, you just gotta play the game long enough to have around 12 current characters and a decent set of calls with a couple good support friend units to get through the lufenia+ quest.
The burst, from the perspective of someone who's been playing it for nearly a year, dont sound too bad. But I can see how they're seem very hard to obtain. But I'd personally say getting something like the sun sigil or some of the other weapons on this or previous list are harder to obtain.
As at the brink of tears when i finally got caladbolg. In hindsind, nirvana is much better imo
I mean if you ask emo gen Xers and buddhists, nirvana's better than anything.
I mean, not really though. The undisputed best team is Rikku, Wakka, & Tidus; with Auron being a good substitute for Tidus if you don't have the patience for Chocobo Catcher.
Totally random, Kiona Lynaer was an old buddy of mine! We raided together for about a year when ARR dropped. Love how I randomly came across a video he's in.
Caladbolg was by far THE most difficult to obtain in my opinion
Love to see the coverage on opera omnia, been playing for a couple years now and love it. It's challenging but the Dev group is so responsive and new content constantly. Also, BT plus finishers can be used by each character with a 3/3 BT plus but as stated normal burst phase is 1 per fight.
Try getting some of the ancient weapons in ffxi , infact any of the relics in this great game
FF10's ultimate weapons are rightly infamous, but... am I the only person in the world that didn't have much that trouble with the Chocobo race? I think the "change its path at random" aspect comes from people not understanding how it works: the Chocobo automatically moves forward along a fixed path, and all you control is its angle (left and right) along that path. It still takes luck to have a good run, but it's not impossible to control.
You can pity burst weapons btw in dffoo its really not that bad I have 12 burst and am f2p
Wakkas was hardest for me cause Blitzball was so time consuming and Wakka is a top tier character. Like idk why they made him so loaded it makes for really complacent team comps with Tidus cause he's also loaded and Rikku for Mix. I think that's what I'd say if they remade FFX today talk to people who no life that game about how to make other party members as worth it as Tidus, Wakka and Riku.
After all of those chocobo races, especially with a defiant chocobo.
Not only was I beyond relieved to see it over, I wanted to resurrect the chocobo eater, handing it over a years worth of overgrown chicken meat.
I may have been not that lucky with seitengrat in ff12 but I sure been blessed with the great tango when i fought the zodiark and made at out alive at the very last moment.
When I played FFX remaster I was able to beat the Chocobo race at 00:00 first time. Problem was I forgot I needed the celestial mirror, had to get it and then do the race again which then took me much longer. Still never been able to get Lulu's Venus Sigil item for it that you need to dodge 200 lightning bolts in a row for.
Playing through FFX HD on the PS4 I was dreading the 200 lightning bolts for the majority of the playthrough, when the time came I actually managed it on my first try! Never felt so lucky in a game before.
Now if only I could skip over that rope in FFIX 1000 times... o.O;
In FFX, Titus weapon I found was the easiest one to get. It took me no time to beat the chocobo challenge and until the internet I never realised it was supposed to be tricky... Lulus I have never ever once gotten because I don't have the patience to dodge lightning once let alone 200 times...
Yup, I agree with you there. Granted, the only other sigil I need is the jupiter one but of course that's another paitence based one. Thankfully blitzball was more fun than dodging 200 lightning strikes.
Yeah the race isn't hard at all, just might take a few attempts. His weapon can still be brutally difficult however if playing on a version with Dark Aeons and you didn't pick up the Sun Crest after defeating Yunalesca as an unavoidable Dark Bahamut will now be in the way, so in such a case you need to defeat him which isn't easy unless you have unlocked Celestials and high stats of cheap out with Zanmato using Yojimbo (I did this during my first playthrough as I didn't know about the crest being there until well after Yunalecsa and I really needed it).
Lulu's is the only one I'd argue is truly unavoidably hard due to skill and patience in dodging the lightning. Some may argue Wakka's is hard but Blitzball honestly is quite easy and it's just more time consuming than anything else. These are the only two weapons I've never bothered to fully complete myself since by that point in the game I wasn't using either character so didn't want to waste the time & energy on the weapons.
I struggled so much recently with that chocobo race and no walk through was helping. After a few days, I found a new walkthrough that explained the map of the race and how the controls work in each part of the map. I finished the race perfectly less than 5 minutes later. It’s not hard, no one goes over the mechanics and their behaviors and the fact the controls change at the last stretch. It was insanely easy.
I find it weird how often I see people talk about how hard getting the Sun Sigil for the Caladbolg is. Whenever I play FFX and hit endgame, I always get the full power Caladbolg and Nirvana first, and I don't even bother going for the Venus Sigil at all because IMO, that is a far greater challenge. I've never struggled with the Chocobo races, but the Thunder Plains can git farked.
I'm so glad that at some point developers decided that an ultimate weapon should be challenging to get, but not force players to spend days trying to get
I just recenttly got the Sun Sigil again in the HD remaster. It seems that if you turn the Chocobo far enough it swerves back towards the side.
I just beat the perfect of Alexander last week. It was quite the fight!
I agree that it'll be impossible for me to get the Colossus Totem and another note you left out: To even get access to the Epic of Alexander, you have to clear the duty called Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage), which requires a lot of quests to get Eden's Gate Sepulture, and then you have to do a quest to unlock the Savage version, and that raid is a very difficult boss fight with a mutated version of the primal Titan, and the Savage Version has two phases. If you can't clear this savage raid, you'll never unlock The Epic of Alexander.
Ah yes, Part 1 of the documentary was so good I was hooked the whole way through
Wooo ^_^ nice to see Legend 2 on here ^_^ I had the seven sword ^_^
the hardest one for me was getting Kalamari s weapon, choco racing was fun and easy once you learned the route and what to do
Kalamari 😂😂 Sorry but I think that's great! "Kalamari protect Yuna" 🦑
