How to Get Rank 3 in Glide de Chocobo Course 2 in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

[@IamBranch]

i just wish i wasn’t fighting with the camera the entire time

[@ShadowZone1996]

Yeah, that's why I'm here, to figure out if there was a way to make the camera manageable. This minigame could've been enjoyable if it was

[@EKk0522]

Go to Settings set it it auto follow

[@IamBranch]

i did manage to get the barrier earrings, it takes some practice though

[@twamstwamsington3320]

everything about it just feels so poorly designed. i never felt like i knew what was going on at any point

[@markdesselle5572]

If you don't hold up the entire time it helps to see ahead. You only need to hold up on the acsent from diving or wind gusts.

[@cf1696]

Square Enix really went all out ensuring that Rebirth had some of the best and worst minigames in the series

[@sebastianc2077]

Im loving the game but there are times where all these minigames start to feel tedious and not fun same with Chadleys quests just doing the same thing over and over again.

[@TN-we9hj]

Agreed, it's a lot of rinse and repeat in every region with slight tweaks.

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

@@sebastianc2077 I think the main issue is TOO many mini games....they went a little too all out. I would prefer 10% less, and increase the quality on the rest. That said, none of the mini games are required, so my complaint isn't really valid.

[@beny904]

there goes the goty award down the drain hahaha

[@DerkDastardly]

Except for the motorcycle and space shooters at Gold Saucer, ALL of the the mini-games are trash.

[@mr.martian7065]

I platted mortal shell but THIS , this mini game alone pushed me over the edge

[@nickdibart]

The other 3 billion mini-games are pushing me over the edge.

[@g57d]

This and cactoire are probably the hardest

[@erinkemp1004]

I struggle with this course. Even after watching another KZbinr doing it. But in their video, they don't explain what to do. Watching your video makes a lot more sense on what to do and what not to do

[@markoliver2877]

I got the platinum trophy in Final Fantasy seven’s first game. But the staggering amount of frustrating mini games in this might just prevent me from doing it again. The fact that I haven’t even seen anyone talk about this trial as one of the more frustrating things speaks volumes to how frustrating some of the worst stuff is. I know these things are just a minute long or so, but they all really feel so much longer, and so much more time goes into doing them perfectly

[@WheeledHamster]

Yea it’s so bullshit, the controls for most of them are just bad that’s why. I’m not gonna bother until it’s like a really good prize. This is ass!

[@sebastianc2077]

Is there a trophy that requires you to get rank 3 in every minigame? I remember the only trophies in the first game that were hard was the gym minigame and killing the top secret in chadleys simulator. I got rank 3 in the gym minigame now but I got no trophy or anything so I'm starting to wonder if I have to do all of them.

[@flu3594]

@@sebastianc2077you have to rank three every game for johnnys treasure trove I believe this one you get a figure for the rank 2 and 3 completion

[@zachmarks6432]

I have had the same thoughts and just think about it like this you only have to complete it once and if you arent thinking about the trophy try to enjoy them the devs made each one very good. I have experienced no bugs

[@sebastianc2077]

@@flu3594 me and my friend are trying to do everything in the game but these things really make me consider if I should get the trophy or not.

[@danniedwards5750]

I didn't even know you could dive bomb and come back up 😂

[@LilaKirby]

Thank you! No tutorial on this one although it was really needed! The amount of times I flew right through 500 rings and didn’t get the points….finally made it

[@runeblades]

Didn’t even know dive bombing was a thing until this video, thanks!

[@cero_vtuber_en]

Ditto.

[@AndroJonny95]

same, they did not do a good job tutorialising this minigame

[@shandilesmanahidayat7131]

Yeah I didn't know we could do that. But I had my suspicion though.

[@austinpiccone]

Yeah me either. the tutorial gave absolutely zero Information about the controls. They were just like “you’ll figure it out.”

[@Philious]

⁠​⁠@@austinpicconeLiterally the first time I tried the first course, I just fell straight to the ground because I didn’t know what the controls were lol

[@Phoenix2312]

I was only aiming to pass it and this helped a great deal. Thank you... Will echo others thoughts, fightimg the camera is annoying, and as an oldet gamer... I played a lot of flight sims, so pushing up to go back up goes against instincts... Also, The Analouge Stick Control... Smooth as butter, a little TOO SMOOTH! They are so sensetive it very easy to throw yourself off course... Which i did! Will come back to rank III the course, just glad i got through at all! It is a tough one.

[@dustindecisive]

Difficulty jump from 1 to 2/3 is absolutely diabolical. Also so impossibly difficult with broken controls. This at least helped me get rank 1 in course 2 and 3 lol :)

[@maul_360]

Thank you!!!!! Took me about an hour to finish this one. Those last few rings kept killing me!!! Great guide

[@RikkSpencer]

It’s absolutely absurd they tied so many side quests to the terrible mini-games.

[@focusonmic]

One of the typical frustrating chocobo trials in the FF franchise. I hated this one next to the chocobo race in FFX lol.

[@archaicminister2321]

I'll take that race all day over this shit.

[@plerkin1354]

This is nothing compared to chocobo races in X

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

Really? I love the chocobo racing. It was so easy.

[@FatFingers02]

Chocobo races are fun and easy pops. This isn’t all too difficult if you make adjustments, auto focus and invert the camera. Only if you need your controls inverted. My biggest issue is how slow it is, makes it very tedious and unenjoyable.

[@animeserenity2901]

I gave up after 3 hours. I couldn’t even get to rank 1. Guess I’ll try it again. Everytime I dived bomb, I would try to go back up and it wouldn’t go up far enough. I would end up on the ground.

[@JustinEckenrode]

You have to wait a few seconds before pulling up or it won't work

[@thez33k]

Happened to me too...stupid motion sensor was on...turn it off...fucking worst mini game ever

[@mac1bc]

The key for me was to wait a few seconds before even starting. That was the yellow ones lined up better for me at the end.

[@shinigamirenegade]

​@@thez33k motion sensor for flying cids plane was ok. But for this it doesn't work well at all because you have to be super delicate like if you dive a little bit to low then it messes up your glide alot

[@kstewart504]

At this for about 30 tries now. While this vid does help a lot, im noticing a lot of this is RNG. When the targets are gonna be at the right height/position each time you try. Infuriating….

[@Monty2289]

Okay we gotta work on our explainations here cause visually its hard to tell what's going on at a glance. You do NOT pull up early or rather too early. The biggest hurdle is the last stretch because part of it is the camera so thanks Squeenix but the other part is gaining the required height. The key to an effective dive bomb is the height of the start of your dive. During the last one game forces you drop your glide so you won't miss the 500 point ring. Try not to do this. If you can hit the tip of the target with the chocobo you're in good shape to immediately after start your dive bomb. Your pull up should not be a thing until you actually touch the target. Combine that with pulling up and never letting go and you'll reach the required height

[@Spanluver]

Thanks bro i did it after I watched your vid. I had everything until the end and the fact you said push up until you can’t anymore was all the difference

[@Himmelfahrth]

Depends on camera preferences. I am inverted so his directions are the opposite but basically he means to dive bomb and then as you’re ascending to not let go of the joystick until you reach desired height. I THINK

[@StripsofLight]

Took me a lot of tries just to get rank 1, and I'd never have managed without your video, thank you!!

[@crosswaynyc]

Thank you! All of your guides assisted me in mastering all courses!!!!

[@siritalis4956]

Thank you again. This was the first video that came up for me and is the one that I was searching for

[@scottmcdonald2807]

[@murphbri]

The VO really helps a lot, thanks. On to course 3, FML.

[@moneymaker8815]

Tip: just use one stick to move and don't adjust the camera. Trust that you will land where you need to when ascending too. Once you memorize the path, it becomes easier. Also, don't let go of R2 near the end. Instead, just dive very briefly.

[@thehunterkillerxg162]

Thank you! It helped me finish it on the second try.

[@originalvaultdweller6055]

Can someone please explain why when I pull UP my bird never raises in the slightest???? It just slowy drops....

[@flu3594]

The amount of times I floated through a ring and it didn’t count is making me hate this game more and more every day

[@kylehoward1000]

Woow. I didn't even know you could dive bomb. That's the first thing I tried and I just fell. So good to know you actually can. Thanks dude. Happy gliding guys!

[@TheShieldCookie]

Not sure if I’m having a bug or something but when I descend to that first 300 and try to immediately ascend the chocobo doesn’t go up at all. The Ascend control that shows on the side is always greyed out as if I’m already max height…

[@ingunn_d]

Me too! I can’t get up no matter what I press! I was able to do this by not getting down at all and get enough points for the first tier…

[@OnyxKat1]

I’m doing this now and have found along with the video there is a wind sound and animation. When descending, you see/hear that you can fly up. Also descend strong the second you hesitate you lose the buff to fly up. I hope that makes sense.

[@ladyrahnegames]

​@@OnyxKat1 OMG Thank you so much!!!! I was wondering, because I don't remember seeing/reading it explained anywhere in the game tutorial. You are so massively appreciated!!!!

[@danielsandoval9478]

How did you get the camera to work for this mini game????

[@jazzy_bella]

I failed so many times, I could not figure out how to ascend. You HAVE TO nosedive in order to go back up. Thanks for this video. I got a passing score even though I didn’t get to the finish line which is good enough for me at this point.

[@Loknath009]

It took me about 40 minutes to do this, now I came here to see if it was me… glad it wasn’t. Just be sure to turn the stupid motion controllers and don’t click too hard when pulling up as well as don’t stop pulling up. Otherwise you will come up short or activate the stupid motion controllers messing all your run.

[@mikeslamermusic]

This has been driving me crazy. You got me one 500 short of Rank 1… not sure I’m willing to come back to it haha. Thank you!

[@chincemagnet]

The dive bomb is broken, randomly doesn’t work. If you pull up even for a millisecond, it screws up the dice bomb I kept bumping the left stick, having both sticks control the same thing is bad design

[@Yuy12121]

This course is so frustrating. Bless you for giving clear instructions.

[@rashidbrown6529]

I realised that you can control the bird with both analog sticks. So using one stick for moving left & right and the other stick for diving & pulling up helped for me

[@markforpres]

Thanks! This is the 2nd video of yours that helped me

[@D3adR0ck3r]

The worst part of this minigame is that with most point based minigames in FF7, they usually give you more points than you need for the top score. So you can miss one or two and still get the reward. But on top of the awful controls, terrible camera, and inconsistent hitboxes, they expect you to be perfect with this one.

[@Grimdel123]

Didn’t even know dive bomb and then pulling up to go high again was a thing until watched your video. Nice well explained voice over here helped me as well do what was needed. Got it after just a few tries 😃👍🏻

[@MiniMayhem8VI]

When you dived, how did you get so far back up again? I kept pressing up on the left D-Pad, but couldn’t get that high,she just stayed floating mid level & then gradually went back down. I can’t seem to get that high up once diving?

[@tomcornett6632]

You are really a savior for me on this one really appreciate it man, you got a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.

[@bridgemaster1668]

Massively helped, got it maybe 3rd try after watching this, I can't believe I was stupid enough not to realise the ascent button after diving...

[@naesnaes]

Thank you! I wasn’t figuring out the dive bombing on my own

[@BahamutBreaker]

I’m impressed! This is not easy. The camera controls are too sluggish, and HUD doesn’t do a good job of indicating when you’ve had enough “dive time” to activate the upward swoop maneuver. Minor critique of the commentary during your flight: it’s not realistic to “let go of R2 for a second”. In 1.0 seconds without the R2 button activated, the chocobo will drop hard and quickly. If the player does want to release R2 temporarily, it needs to be only for a fraction of one second. Honestly, it’s not designed well - there needs to be a little bit more forgiveness in how rapidly the bird drops after disengaging R2 - probably adding in 0.2 or 0.3 seconds’ delay between trigger release and the sudden plummeting. Give those of us with slightly slower reflexes a chance, Square Enix 😅. Until the gliding gets patched, though, the player should aim to (if one must release R2) only release R2 for the absolute minimum amount of time possible before re-engaging R2.

[@JohnC-j8h]

Thank for the video, needed to see it in action instead of reading tips and tricks

[@Monty2289]

I need help this is awful. Its the last dive bomb. You just don't have enough height. You will either miss one of the moving targets or the highest target at the finish line

[@enriqueguillen8002]

You're doing gods work. Thank you

[@Mushu2801]

Love the game in general but between it being so long and these horrendous minigames (which sometimes award weapons and material no longer making them optional) I have had to stop playing the game and play something else twice. Beat Hifi rush and stellar blade. And just came back to these aweful minigame. Thankd for the help. The game never explained that it had dive glide in.

[@thesyndicate5454]

Mofu I have been watching all your vids to help clear these damn minigames. I love FF7 Rebirth so far but damn some of these have been a big greasy lol. Thanks for keepin me sane over here >_>;.

[@anthonygamerps5515]

Got it 3rd try with this video! Thank you!!!

[@EL1VERDES]

I finally did it! After more than +3 hr the trick is to try to touch the rings in the middle and the most important to only move the joystick to up or down, whenever its the case. For example not only up bc its not going to work.

[@mathewgonz]

I was so focused on the course I didn’t realize going up was from pointing up and not a fan blowing you up

[@Rhys-Lightning]

How is your camera so far out? Mine is right up my chocobo's cloaca that I can't see what's ahead

[@jobe13]

This. So much this.

[@Rhys-Lightning]

I was holding up the whole time. Just hold R2 without holding up and the camera zooms back out

[@ToraKingz]

How do you zoom out the camera for this minigame?

[@NYCpizzaclub]

It’s not just for the minigame I think. You can set the fov in the settings

[@ToraKingz]

@@NYCpizzaclub I ended up finishing the minigame without zooming out but I still couldnt find the setting for it

Thanks for the letting go of R2 tip, when that 500 ring was low I'd start dive bombing early and it kept throwing me off after that and I'd always be too low for either the next 500 or the first of the 2 ending ones meaning I'd have to restart. Now on to number 3 😬

How do you turn off the motion sensor on the controller for this

[@kennychan7104]

L3

[@shadley95]

For anyone having trouble with the last few and getting the height you need, instead of releasing R2 for a split second, you actually should start divebombing through that lower ring. Starting it earlier gives you more height when you pull up and you can actually force yourself through the last few rings by hitting the projector machines until the game corrects you into the ring.

[@19RyanTheLion91]

My brain can't comprehend the inverted controls. Pressing up on the analog should take you into a dive, not the other way round.

[@prodbyANT]

Today's new patch fixed this and the shooting minigames. If you use invert, the minigames should be inverted now.

[@akramtulla28]

I would have never get this thanks bro

[@LeonardMeltsner]

Thanks, until I watched this, I was pulling up the entire time, because the camera movement when you let go of both sticks really made it feel like you were dropping faster during normal flight, but then i couldn't figure out how to see what was ever below me (unless you pause the menu and open photo mode to look, which actually does work, and you can hit your controls to glide again before closing the menu, but it's not the same as looking while flying in real time. Got it in a few tries after watching this!

[@CyclonesWorld]

Wait, are we supposed to use both sticks? Watching this cause I got stuck on this one last night and haven't had a chance to try it again.

[@LeonardMeltsner]

@@CyclonesWorld It's a little confusing. Both sticks do the same thing, and their inputs are additive, it seems. You can't look around up and down without pulling up or down. I was holding up all the time (except when diving), which is fine except it really restricts your ability to see below you. You only need to hold up when pulling up, and only need down when diving, otherwise try to keep both thumbsticks level and only turn them to look around/turn, and it shouldn't impact your altitude. Out of habit, I used the right stick for looking and left stick for moving, but they both do the same thing. If you're holding up on the left stick, looking down on the right won't work, but if you let go of the left, looking down on the right will cause you to nosedive, etc.

[@priscilabee583]

They really made a poor job with explaining how to play the mini games, thanks for the video!

[@RedsRamblings]

I did about 16 tries and failed for even rank 1 till this video saved me 😂

Wish there was a side by side screen showing the hand notions on the controller with the video. I can't figure out how to pull up. I've repeated your steps but nothing works!

[@archaicminister2321]

Your video helped me. I figured dive bombing down and going up was the idea and I tried that but I guess maybe I wasn't holding up long enough. Thank you for the video explaining the idea as the game does not. Not perfect, yet....but at least completed the shit.

[@BunBun299]

I have managed to get everything but those last 2 moving 500 rings. They never seem to line up for me. If I veer to try to get them, I definitely won't hit the last 2 stationary ones, I just loose too much momentum. Is there anyway to time this so that they'll be in my path?

Whenever i dive bomb, they dont come back up as fast and i end up floating to the ground.

[@constellations-in-a-jar4203]

I'm having difficulty with the last couple of sections. I'm definitely getting good height, but i think the last two moving 500 rings usually end up on the left for me and by the time i get through them, i dont have enough height for the last two 500s fo r landing. how are you timing it so that you don't have to swivel so much through that last section?

[@constellations-in-a-jar4203]

update finally got it! i think it helped to go through the begining section faster rather then taking my time tring to go through the center of the circles, because then by the time i got through the big upflight to the second part the rings were lined up much more easily for me

[@joseaguirre4642]

Do you get any achievements for completing this mini game?

[@PolemicAutist]

I don’t understand how to control this stupid thing. Do you steer with L and dive bomb with both L and R or just L?

[@DirecDelta]

how did you even get the camera to look downward? Whoever designed this minigame needs to get fired, because they apparently forgot games are supposed to be fun, just like the ones who designed the lightning bolt dodging, butterfly catching, chocobo racing in FFX.
