Square Enix can suck a big fat long lone. It's a shame my favorite game ever is marred by some really bad game design at times.
1. That god awful chocobo race is the epitome of stupidity. I don't know how I ever beat it twice before. I'm going to see if my friend can do it for me. He's the type that will somehow beat it in 10 minutes.
2. I missed an item at the beginning of the game because I took a wrong turn, and now there's a dark aeon with 800 HP blocking my path and preventing me from getting Anima. I tried to fight it last night and was promptly railed for 9999 against each guy in successive hits before I could do anything.
3. I'm not even going to waste my time with the lightning dodging lag if I can't beat that damn race.
But hey, at least I got through the butterfly catching...
