I love Super Mario RPG but when you get to the Moleville part of the map, it feels like the game hits a stalling grind. Like it is to me, the dragging part of the game. Because you got to deal with the annoying enemies and bosses there. I don’t like dealing with Booster. I don’t like Booster’s Tower.

Moleville is just okay but I don’t like reaching this part of the game. At least things pick up afterwards.

    When it comes to FFX, there are many.

    1. The Lightning Plains lightning dodging minigame for Lulu’s legendary weapon (thankfully, this one can be skipped. Lulu isn’t required for the endgame, and you can Customize decent enough gear for her)
    2. Blitzball for Wakka’s legendary weapon (arguably a requirement for beating Penance)
    3. The Macalania Woods butterfly challenge (also skippable. I think this one is for Kimahri’s legendary weapon)
    4. Chocobo racing mini game for Tidus’s legendary weapon (also arguably required for Penance)
    5. Capturing 10 of every fiend (required for all endgame content but incredibly dull and tedious)

      That laugh scene is cringe the first time through, and heartbreaking every time after that.

        I vividly remember arriving at the conclusion FFX had next-level storytelling during my second playthrough when this scene hit in a completely different way.

        The first time is weird, goofy, corny, cringey, whatever you want to call it; i remember just wanting it to be over. The second time, it’s just fucking tragic. I remember wanting it to last forever just to delay the inevitable.

      I tried replaying FFX a few years ago for the first time since back in the day, but quit while doing all that bullshit. Although Blitzball I actually enjoyed. But the other minigames are devised by satan himself and programmed and designed by blind interns. Chocobo racing especially is atrocious.

        I actually kinda liked blitzball and recruiting all the different players until I figured out how to quickly and easily cheese every game by scoring one point then swimming behind your own goal to break the enemy AI.

        It’s very difficult to commit the time to a legitimate game knowing that option is on the table and has zero downsides

          I guess that depends on the reason you play. I just thought Blitzball was kind of fun to play 🤷‍♀️
