I understand difficulty, but my rating is 295 and this thing is just 271. I feel bad for people that wanted the barding. It's not gonna be simple at all. And I already had this bird!
i had 20/20 stars.... but to win this race you NEED max speed, cunning and enough stamina to sprint the whole race from start to finish. my chocobo only had 470 speed and 286 cunning. i put more into the stamina stats so i can use headstart. was an awesome build for R300, but way to slow for the last challange...
