    Each time a color went past, I wrote a line corresponding to each color. Was a 1/1 win lol...
    This was also my method LOL Except I went: W Y B M(since I think it was midnight black? or something like that)

    Sorry about the inconveniences tho OP

    I had trouble with it as well. I decided to just not do it, even if it means not getting the barding. I don't really care for that barding anyway.

    So what is the problem with it except for colorblind people which I understand ofc.
    That you cannot finish it on 1st try? We finally get something different from fates and fetch quests for seasonal events and people can't handle it.
    I guess we really don't deserve anything new.

    Because it moves so freaking fast it's impossible for me to see what is what. I do have a learning disability and some other problems which could make this very difficult for me.

    I'm guessing the problem for many is that they can't remember so many things without being able to rehearse the pattern. 8 things to remember is above some people's short term memory capacity (including mine, I have trouble writing down phone numbers if they are said in one go), the average being 7. You can't go back to memorize again because the order is different each time. The people who are not familiar with short term memory techniques (such as repeating the sequence in your head or grouping) will obviously struggle with no way to practice the sequence. Also the last wave is very fast which can cause the information to slip past the eyes. You can't remember something you didn't have time to recognize. Colourblindness is not the only biological limitation which can affect your success.

    The egg hunt and spriggan dodging allow you to try the same problem over and over whilst learning from your mistakes. You can improve over time with practice. If the memory quest had the same pattern until you got it right it would likely be more popular.

    Then don't. I didn't both trying to remember what I saw, I just reacted to it.

    Stare at one spot, raise fingers on one hand for white, the other for blue and say 'one' 'two' etc out loud for yellow. The only thing you have to remember is what number you said out loud previously. You don't need to keep track in your head as the info is stored on your hands, and you don't need to count black as that will just be what's left over after you've put in the first three answers.

    Mentally processing stuff will just slow you down. It's like reading - if you want to do it fast, you don't let your inner voice narrate it inside your head, you just scan the words.

    I appreciate that learning difficulties are a thing but it's not like you have to remember an unknown amount with no min/max limits on each egg. You can do it and you only have to do it once. Other games in the final fantasy series have had challenges that are more difficult to some than others - I for example really struggle with steering a chocobo in chocobo racing, but I could dodge lightning in FFX for hours. A mini game shouldn't be altered just because you aren't in your element; that's why you are given plenty of time to retry if you need to.

    And if all else fails, do what I did for the FFX remiem temple chocobo race and the butterfly collecting - make someone else do it.

    I scribbled letters on a piece of paper. lol

    b = blue
    y = yellow
    w= white
    x = dark

    My memory is typically good enough for something like this, but I was pretty sleep deprived when I did it.
