    Minigames are meant to be fun. FFX minigames are not fun. Butterfly catching, lightning dodging and this monstrosity should never have been called minigames!

    The only fun minigame in FF10 is blitzball.

    I was able to do it on the PS2 version, I gave it a few tries on the PS4 version and decided to not go through the hassle again. Maybe next time.

    The FFX minigames are completely terrible and this one is the worst by quite some margin. Last time I nearly ate my controller as I shrieked in frustration.

    Blitzball *can* be fun once you get into it, get pass the annoying growing pains and can win games pretty easily to get the sigil and reels.

    Most people, including myself, hate Blitzball because of the mandatory game against the Luca Goers. I really wanted to beat their smug faces so I kept resetting until I scraped a 2-1 victory.

    The FFX minigames aren't so bad, tbh.

    Blitzball is the best, of course.

    There is a way to make it easier on yourself: First off do really really badly, the worse your time the better, second time through the balloons will be much easier to collect... I don't know if this is true or not, but I read it somewhere earlier today and am going to give it a go and will let you know if it worked.

    Also try the d-pad if you're using the analog stick. In Matt's many failings, he was using the analog stick, but when he realised he could d-pad it up, he got it fairly quickly.

    I got this a few days ago, after I accepted the fact that the balloon placement are completely random I just got on with it without being annoyed (although there were a few times I just stopped when it got boring) I was streaming when I finally got the trophy (and the Sigil) I was so happy ^^

    I'm just so happy I never have to go through that god awful trial again.

    Blitz & Sphere Break are the only good minigames in the Spira games.

    I seriously hate to be this guy, but for whatever reason, I don't really have too much trouble with it. The first time took me in between one and two hours when the game was new, and every single time after that was probably less than hour of time for me to get it. In fact, when I played the HD version on the PS3, which at that point was the first time I touched the game in years, I manged to get the time down very quickly.

    That being said I'm not trying to lord over anyone, and I'm certainly not denying the difficulty and irritability of that mini game.
