Plus, the butterflies, the lightning bolts, and chocobo raising are all prequisites to get three characters' ultimate weapons. Perhaps that's not as crucial for the NA version, which lacks the dark aeons, but these are pretty much neccessary for these side quests -- which I found very challenging (read: enjoyable). In fact, I STILL have not beat Penance. Mo'fo is a hard nut to crack.

Again nice try but its been made clear that I'm above mindless sidequests and would prefer more of an intellectual challenge and not a mind numbering challenge. Give me puzzles and riddles to solve. Not button mashing crap.


And prerecs? "ooooooooooh! Must have shiny ultimate weapon at all costs.". I'm not going to endure some developers crappy mini game to get an "ultimate" weapon. If the game is fun then sure but not if its as bad as lightening jumping.
now i dont even come close to agreeing with locke except for that the lightning striking is tedious, but mindless and useless, NO while i think lulu is the character i use the least its still a necessity to complete the game not beat but complete and the only reason locke gets all up like he does is because he thinks he is superior to everyone on this site. but when you beat a game once or even twice it starts to get boring, so why not challenge yourself. mini games are supposed to be hard they arent made to just be walked on through i completely agree with alpha. and if you dont wanna complete a game cool thats your deal but you dont have to bash others? key point of a lot of posts on here side quests are OPTIONAL so if you dont wanna do them and you dont wanna beat the dark aeons or penence they dont do them but you dont have to bash anyone for doin something that u think is mindless. maybe you think it mindless because your mind is just not quite as strong as others and it isnt "button mashing" its called reflex

anyway
chocobo racing is hard but it gets easier as you keep doin it,
defeating the aeons at remiem temple simple task
blitzball easy just scout for your own team of aurochs rather then the originals
catching ten of every monster easy but TIME CONSUMING
cactaur village was easy but that last one is a toughy to get his sphere
butterfly capture i thought it was a little tough but it was also fun
lightning dodger was long, boring and frustrating but still worth it for the sake of a. the celestial weapons and b. to be able to complete the game not to brag but for your own sense of accomplishment

if you cant do it or dont want to cool but dont bash others cuz you are "above it" that puts you below the ones who do it maybe not in actuality but morally come on are you that immature thats like high school drama crap
