i gave up after the 40th try. on the last try i got 0.04 seconds.. and i went apetrout and had a tantrum that would rival a 5 year old (of course a 5 year old shouldnt know every conceivable curse in the english language).
with that said and done.. i had excalibur [break damage limit/triple overdrive/evade and counter/one MP cost] made. meh. its better than getting premature grey hair from stressing over the dammed chocobos.
i MIGHT go back and try BigD's suggestion.. maybe once my hatred for FFX chocobos lessens.
