In Disc 2, when going after the third Huge Materia, did anyone else beat the Submarine game in about 2 seconds?

I know I did. So, how about you kind fellows?

Same thing happened with me too, and actually in another file I decided not to attack the enemy sub right away to see if I could make it any harder. Turned out that if I didn't win it right away, I couldn't win it at all - it got away and I wasn't able to get back to it. smile.gif

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Oh, wow. That's weird.

I just remembered something- If the Huge Materia is loaded into the Red Submarine and you get that one, how is it then impossible to get the Huge Materia?

I'm thinking too deep.

Yeah, its best to just hit the sub right off the bat. I tried waiting once, and managed to find it a second time, but that was because the sub minigame is one of my favorites in the game, other than the chocobo race, and who could possibly not love racing chocobos?

That was my sin. And this... this... is my punishment.

Yeah I noticed that too. Perhaps the programmers were trying to be cute by making it so easy. Maybe they were hoping people wouldn't go for the apparently easiest target and waste time going round in circles...

Luckily that ploy didn't work on me, it took me three seconds lol.

I had NO CLUE what I was doing in this mini-game. I just hit buttons until I won.

perhaps they left it as a challenge for hardcore players to sink all the subs before the red one? tongue.gif Yeah. I've never failed this. I even dinked around and sunk a couple yellows and saw it was getting away so i sunk it before i failed instead of sinking all the subs.

If you lose the mini-game on cd-2, you can get a red sub instead the blue one...

This mission was one of Square's awkward stumbles into 3D. I took me a while to figure out what I was doing.

For what it's worth, their snowboarding/chocobo racing attempts were better. That motorcycle chase scene wasn't bad either. So, the submarine scene was just an isolated incident.

Am I also the only one who thought the Motorcycle game was kinda dull (but had schweet music)?

Off-topic, sorry.
