I hate the sun sigil.

I'm thinking of mercilessly murdering the chocobo trainer and just take that damn item out of her pocket, and then hide her body at a treasure chest or something. While continuously yelling the words "how's that for 0:0:0 b***!"

[Mo-Nercy]

It especially sucks when you're really close to it. On my most recent playthrough, I was stuck on 2.8 seconds for about an hour cursing myself for not having been able to pick up an extra balloon.

Been there, done that.

Done even worse on Ragnarok Online. Monster had drop list with 2 items of same chance 1/10000 (0.01). One mega awesome, mega expensive; second troutty. Got the troutty one twice during my playing. That hurt.

As for the sun sigil, yeah it sucks but I've always been able to get it in under 4 hours (which sounds alot but if I compare that with blitzball for wakka it's not anymore) so just keep trying.

I also learnt to just immediately forfeit any try where I can't get the first 4 or so ballons at the start, saves you nerves.

I've never had much trouble getting it. Normally takes about an hour to get it.

Many people have problems with it but there are actually many balloons behind each other. That does not always mean in straight lines but also slight curves or anything which are very easy to run through with just slight movements. And for getting like 4 balloons in a row I have no problems not dodging a gull instead. Often the trainer also gets many close balloons before you do so you still need to be doing fairly good. And of course you still need to dodge most birds.

I'm with you there. Have you thought about using a Save Editor.....that is if you have the X/X-2 HD release for the PS3. You can put mods on your save file from your PC and than copy over your current save file on your PS3. Pretty handy! XD

[Venom65437]

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I did it some time back because I'm doing a 100% play through. Stuff like that ensures I'll never do 100% again though.

Same. On one playthrough I even got it second try!

[Mirage]

I am terrible at this minigame and I absolutely hate it.

Sums it up for me. I've never bothered with several of the celestial weapons for exactly that kind of reason.

I did dodge lighting bolts to get Lulu's sigil, but that only required time and repetition.

[Mirage]

but that is too boring again. I didn't do most of the superweapons.

well we all know that's not true
