When they became stale, dull, unimaginative, and repetitive.

There's only so many times you [most likely an orphan or last survivor of a burned down village] can save the world from some super evil power [who is most likely your brother/father/sister's cousin's former roommate] while remaining the strong, silent, androgynous type [with hair spikes that could puncture steel plating and a sword heavier than your 17yo, 90lb body] with a cast of mismatched ruffians [a lady's man--pervert, an either very old or very young wizard, an ethnic stereotype, and a princess in hiding] and a scripted trip through the overworld/town/dungeon cycle produced by the local chamber of commerce insuring that you'll visit all the notable landmarks [tower of magic, crystal caves, fire world, enemy castle/fort] and utilize the most popular transportation systems [pirate ship, airship, train--which is most likely a ghost train] before it all becomes nauseating.

Even the musical scores, perhaps the most distinguishing aspect, start to sound alike after awhile--like all those 80's hairbands.

And if I never fight a random encounter while stepping from square A to square B again, it will be too soon.

[EDIT: OK, it's been a long time since I posted, but is there a reason why the "enter" key is not making paragraph breaks in my post? In the edit screen it looks fine, but the actual post is coming up as one big block of text. I had to put html tags in just to get a paragraph break--that's very sloppy.]

That's bizarre, and I have not heard of it. What browser and version are you using?
