I remember playing the original and grinding away at the Chocobo races to get the golden Chocobo so I could access the area to get the Knights of the Round summon. When I read that they removed the Knights of the Round summon from the remake they totally lost me. That being said, I can't think of a Final Fantasy game that was as engaging as VII except maybe X.
The good old days of grinding! I was that way in FFX with blitz ball I think I may have played almost as many hours as the actual game. Same with cards in FFVIII. I’m a sucker for remakes and remastered games for the nostalgia.
Yes, I was the same way. I didn't realize how important blitzball was until much later in the game. That match right at the beginning I was totally confused! I did a lot of grinding in the original NES game too.
I hear you I'm the type of player who tries to 100% a game. I'm pretty upset I missed a side quest on this play through it's annoying seeing my cleared screen to see it missing.
Haha yeah, I know that feeling!
