[The Sixth Dragon]

What is the point in wasting 30 minutes dogging pretend thunder bolts and getting a sigil for one of the worst characters. I just let yuna learn doublecast and Black magic.

You're all ignoring Yevonites comment. "Turn off the sound". I knew about it for quite a while, so I just checked every post. Turning off the sound and then going to the 3 strike area makes it quick and painless. You'll see the screen turn white for about 1/2 a second, that's when to press X. I did this task so quick that way, I hope this helps.

Combine with easy Winning Formulae by Bribing Sand Worms (Bribe 2 and you'll have enough for a Triple Overdrive), and Dark Matter from any of the special critters, and you get a Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Triple AP weapon! The perfect weapon for training. Of course, if you prefer, you can just take a weapon with four empty slots and modify it however you like. Evade and Counter, Triple Overdrive, One MP cost, MP Booster. The items for all of these (and much, much more) can be gotten with very little work (though it might cost some Gil. But who needs Gil anyway?) in the Monster Arena. (Personally, I think the second most helpful weapon I've made so far is a Taming Sword with Break Damage Limit. It makes capturing high HP creatures so much easier. But the Triple AP/Overdrive and Break Damage weapons that are extremely easy to get are a godsend when it comes to training characters, IMHO)

BTW, does anyone have any advice on getting Khimari's Sigil? It's the only one I have left, but that butterfly game is annoying as hell.

Oh, and you don't need No Encounters to do the Lightning Bolt Dodging minigame. Just don't move. Stand in one spot, wait for the screen to flash, press "X", rinse and repeat.

(Also, has anyone tried crafting a weapon identical to the Legendary Weapons? IE: Make a Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Evade and Counter, and Magic Counter weapon for Tidus? I'm curious as to what the weapon's name would be.)

Still Excalibur, I think.

[Angelroo]

[henryb218]

[RubyLapiz]

It's not a piece of cake. you just have to have the right atmosphere.

I finally got it

There was a thunderstorm yesterday, and I was like 'hey, I should go to the Thunder Plains. Thunder, thunder, right? '

So my dad was in there to distract me and keep me from psyching myself out and I dodged 100 in a row, then dodged another 100 and a few more and got the suckerXD

I still have my doubts about being able to do chocobo racing.

[nirojan]

It took me like a year to do it but i DID IT!!!!!

YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
