They made 'max power' too overpowered on the final challenge. He must have 600 in all stats since he just flies by my chocobo like nothing and still doesn't run out of stamina. I've been trying this challenge for over 6 hours hoping that the right combo of items and weather would make a difference. But potions don't help, super bird don't help, u cant even use frenzy on him because that just gives him more stamina recovery, and even heavied he runs past me at 500 max speed. I traded my head start for speedy recovery 3 and that just made things worse. And of course there's no way to get head start back now since its not one of the books u can buy. my stats are:500 speed 350 acc 500 stamina 500 endurance 358 cunning with choco cure 3 hereditary fair weather bird rank 50 and 295 rating. I really hope they nerf max power or at least set his stats no higher than all 500's. Its just not fun at all.
