my first playthrough i missed a lot of ****, like who would go snowboarding again to go retrieve Alexander materia? how would you know that is even there? who would dig for that ****ing long at the archaeology site?
the chocobo racing seemed dumb as **** upon first blush and it still does, only the most J of JRPG fans wild out on that and I skipped it. Without KotR and mastered Phoenix for the auto-life, Emerald and Ruby are impossible, flat out, even then they are really tough. The breeding process is so counterintuitive that i dont see the casual person doing all that ****, then going to an unmarked island in the middle of nowhere, getting KotR and beating both weapons organically. i mean, i did that later, but, i also spent like 30 hours mixing things together in the cooking game in the first star ocean, scribbling in a notebook.
I...didn't touch many vajeens...
