Unless you're playing the International version, they're no real incentive to get Tidus' celestial weapon. It doesn't unlock damage caps from any of Yuna's summons and they're no boss so hard that it's needed. I made an Excalibur for Tidus with BDL on it, and never looked back.
Maybe not needed, but very useful! Especially for the arena and Dark Aeons (if you have them in your version). Combined with his overdrive you deal out mega damage thanks to no cap. That's true of all ultimate weapons but especially Tidus and Wakka's because their overdrives kick arse when fully amped up.
I like many people suffered the torments of the damned doing this. But like many of these kind of games, I could feel myself getting closer all the time, and was convinced I would do it soon. When I finally did, it was extremely satisfying, because I figured a combination of strategy and luck had won the day.
You need some luck in the way the balloons line up, which is where the persistence comes in. Take every opportunity early on to get ahead and grab balloons when there are no birds. Make the turn fast and tight to save time, then stay right to minimise the chance of bird hits, while grabbing some extra balloons. After the turn, concentrate on dodging (make small movements) and forget balloons unless they're right in front of you. I find its better to stay left as you make the final sprint as there seems to be a temporary bird free spot there. Good luck and try not to get angry! And if you do, take a break!
Ps Yes I know you can make a BDL weapon but it will take a hell of a lot of dark matter!

ARGGGHHH CHOCOBO RACING !!!!
I swear i've been trying to do this for like 4-5 hours and I just missed the thing by 1.4 seconds!!!
Why did the creators of this game put such infuriating side-quests in? It controls horribly and those birds make the most annoying sound when they hit you. Corr.
So yes, the point of this is, did you have as much trouble as I am when doing this? What's your most detestable side quest in FFX?
And please God have you got any tips for me
And don't forget, that Celestial Weapons ignore the target's defense, while others don't!
Btw, does anyone else also think Slice & Dice is better than Blitz Ace?
Doesn't Slice & Dice randomly select opponents that get hit by each slice whereas with Blitz Ace, all the hits are focused on the one target you select?
yeah, though annoying and it usually takes me quite a few goes, the chocobo race isn't even remotely as bad as the butterfly catch or lightening bolt dodge. I tried avoiding lightening bolts and got to about 5, and then realized that if I continued with this exercise my poor ol' PS2 would probably find itself flying through my window, bouncing out onto my lawn, tumbling onto the street where, what was left of it would find itself being run over by a car.
WICKED-AWESOME SIG.
I never cared much for the chocobo racing in this game. I think I did it a couple of times, but that was enough for me *shrug*
