I've replayed FFX numerous times including the HD remaster but it has been a while since I really went for a 100% completion. So figured why not since its always been fun to do so.

But hooo boy the Chocobo Catcher game for the Sun Sigil is driving me up the wall. I know this game is infamous for being a little luck based and having terrible controls but as far as my history with FFX goes, I've never really had too much trouble with it. Apart from the very first time I've tried for the Sun Sigil, I don't think I've ever gone beyond half an hour and my last memory of it was that, it wasn't bad at all.

So now, I've been at it for more than an hour and while I've come close a couple of times, nothing has been more infuriating to find out that I got a literal 0.00 time once and it does not give me the Sigil. Just, what the hell man. I've been having a couple terrible runs the last couple of tries so I just switched off my PS5 and decided to take a break.

My main issue is, the controls for the Chocobo sucks ass. The other issue is the RNG with the balloons and the birds. Most times I don't get hit but I end up with way less balloons than I need. The times I do get enough balloons I get bombarded with birds right near the end. I don't know if it was just easier to control on the PS2 (because all my numerous 100% files before were on there) and the controls are somehow jankier on the PS4 or maybe I'm just older now and am less tolerant to these kinda bullshit.

I just don't remember this mini-game being as bad as people made it out to be. I was always apologetic towards it but now I totally feel the pain.

Gonna try again in a bit.
