You think it was easy because you got it early, but good luck getting it a second time. The issue is that there is no trick to it; you could only pray that you got lucky. And luck based on top of skill based is simply too excessive. If they had at least kept the balloons and birds at fixed locations, we could keep practising until we get it right. To randomise it is just trying to torture the player. Quote:

it was really frustrating. I remember... I think I had 150+ dodges, only to get hit by the next lightining simply because I sneezed. I forgot to hit the pause button and had to do it all over again. I think it took me at least 2 hours to get it. 2 hours without encounters I remeber I got tired with Thunder Plains' theme then lol oh and there was this one time, when I was dodging lightning and I accidentally talked to the guy that summons Dark Ixion. Boy, that was such a bad run. ah yeah, I still remember that run fairly well. Balloons were almost in a single line and whenever a bird is coming and I go sideways, there was a balloon to cope up the time I wasted for dodging. So yeah, you guys could say I was pretty lucky then EDIT: speaking about mini-games. I remember that jump rope mini game on IX. getting 1000 jumps is hard and that chocobo hunting thing, searching for Zidane's Ultima Weapon was pretty frustrating too good times

There was a time when FF was about an occasional pretty cut-scene. And the rest is gameplay that was more graphically crude but fun. And since you spend most of the game playing rather than watching cutscenes, I say that's the way it should be. This is why they can't remake FF7; they couldn't go back to the old philosophy.

I always found the chocobo racing to be frustrating but not overly difficult once you got a hang of it and know what to look for. I regularly get it done on my first 10 tries. The lightning was the difficult one. I could have the exact timing down and it was still a very difficult time with it. With the chocobo you have a short race while the lightning is time consuming and a tiny mistake would make you start all over again. I hope they change the amount that is required for the lightning dodge.

Then there's the thunder and forest minigames. I don't which quest is more frustrating. However, it's kind of fair since when obtaining the Ultimate Weapons the Final Aeon can be defeated in two strikes (That's what happened with me)

please remind me, what are you going to do on that butterfly trial again?
I remember it having a time limit with Red and blue butterflies what was the goal again?

That kind of reminded me that I still couldn't beat Penance without relying on Yojimbo. I got bored halfway of rewriting the sphere grid so I only got to 50k hp with none of the stats hitting 255.
