Final Fantasy X is the kind of game where there is a challenge for everybody. Some people find it impossible to fully power-up Tidus's Caladbolg; some people find it irritating to hunt butterflies for Kimarhi's Spirit Lance.
And some people are just gluttons for punishment.
Lulu's Onion Kid doll, found at the bottom of the lake where Baaj Temple once stood, requires the Venus Crest, located in a chest in the Farplane, as well as the Venus Sigil, which one earns by dodging 200 lightning bolts on the Thunder Plains.
I am proud to say that I have completed this task; it really only takes about 20 minutes if one goes about it the right way-- but I have spent many hours prior in futile attempts at dodging.
My advice is to do your dodging in the afternoon when you are most alert, and do it with a companion who will distract you by talking to you. You have to keep a fresh mind, so having a friend around will keep you relaxed. If you start to get tense, pause the game and converse for a while. Stand up and do some jumping jacks. I did this in the wake of a real thunderstorm, and the distant booming of thunder lulled me into a calm state.
To be perfectly honest,
Jessweeee[note] was the first person to come to mind for this award when I saw it was being presented. She has the tenacity to delve deeply into games, and the zaniness to stay engrossed in them even years after they have been released.
However, that is not to say that
UnbreakableWill is not also deserving of this award. He easily could have pledged to
Nikki to dodge a thousand bolts as a token of his affection.
blim is a quiet soul, judging from his light posting history, and a serious one, seeing how most of those posts have been EoEO. It would not be inconcievable that he would put all his energies toward a solitary task. Are you really this single-minded, blim? Perhaps the votes will tell.
And then there's
Quin. Do you even like FFX, Harle? I guess Mr. Tonic would always be ready for a chance up-skirt or bustier shot, seeing how it's Lulu.
And now, Award Yuletide will tell us what the populace though: __________________
