How to Beat the Chocobo Trainer in Final Fantasy X

Step 1:
Put the game on mute. The music may be cute and fun, but its only cute and fun for so long before it becomes irritating. Add to that the frustration of constantly being close to your objective then losing, and its time for a change of pace. Put on something that motivates you.

Step 2:
Find the controller that works for you. The game says to use the left and right buttons, but if you’re the type that works better with the stick, use that instead. Many find the stick to give more fluid motions, and for this challenge, fluid is essential.

Step 3:
Start out easy. To start with, just try and beat the goal of 45 seconds. This is easy enough, and will give you a taste of how it really works. From here, try and run the race without getting hit by a bird. Once you've done that, try running the race and hitting 13 balloons. If you can do all of those, you're ready to do them all together!

Step 4:
Know the goal. In order to successfully beat the trainer and earn the Sigil, you need to hit 13 balloons, 0 birds and finish the race with a time of less than 39 seconds. For every bird you hit, you need another 2 balloons (1 to cover the birdstrike and another to cover the time you lost getting hit.) Getting 13 balloons is tough enough, considering their random placement and the trainer’s ability to snag ones you were hoping to get, so really try not to get hit.

Step 5:
Get as many balloons as you can in the initial stretch. This is CRTICALLY important! This is the ONLY stretch of race that you needn’t worry about the birds on. Therefore, concentrate all your energy in the first leg on snagging every balloon! If you can snag 5 or 6 here, you’ve got the makings of a win! If you walk away with less than 3, get ready for a hard race and if you get none at all, the race is a writeoff.

Step 6:
Try and stay as straight as possible. This is really hard since the camera angle is jerky and changes constantly, but after a few runs, you’ll get a good sense of where its going to go.

Step 7:
Stay in the middle of the track as much as possible. Believe it or not, the racetrack, while having the appearance of a wide open field, is actually quite narrow. Bumping the edges causes the camera to jerk and leaves you only one avenue of escape for incoming birds. Try and stay in the middle, so that way you can dodge to both sides instead of just one. Unfortunately, this has the double edge of letting you escape birds easily while exposing you to more of them.

Step 8:
Try your best to make course changes in advance. Jerking towards that balloon at the last minute almost always ends in disaster.

Step 9:
Try, try again! It may take you a hundred races to get the Sigil, but rest assured, the prize is worth the effort. Good luck!
