I really don't like RPGs much. Yes, I've finished FF8 multiple times but that's only because I touch myself while looking at Seifer Almasy. I finished FF7 as well because, well, it was fun at the time....
Don't get me wrong, I love the stories in almost everything Square has put out - with the possible exception of FF9 which marvelously failed to make me care about the story or the characters at all - but I just hate having to play the game to advance the story.
I get frustrated when the story grinds to a halt just so I can pretend to be actually playing a game. They should just make me a final fantasy game that consists only of FMVs where you can choose your own path like a Read your own adventure book...
So yeah, I think the point I was trying to make is that I want a good game AND a good story but it doesn't work for me if I have to deal with both. Lack of motivation or ADD, I don't know.
