Well, I hope its better than Rebirth, I just quit on that one cos I got sick of all the endless annoying minigames and tedious filler. Who in their right mind thought that horrendous tropical resort chapter was a good idea.

For this to get my purchase now they'd have to do some serious streamlining.

It's fascinating how divisive opinions are on minigames and pacing.

You describe that chapter as horrendous and can't even grasp why it was made this way. I thought it was great. I don't like being bombarded by nothing but action or story, so these silly pauses are something I really enjoy and appreciate, they help keeping combat and story fresh when you return to them. Most minigames are like 5 minutes of fun and are skippable anyway; some drop cool items but they're completely optional.

One minigame I disliked though is the main one: Queen's Blood. It just felt quite random and dull to me. Seems to be everyone's favorite, but not me! That thing is a poor man's Triple Triad, just like the FF9 card game.

Maybe it's a genre thing that FF fans love or something, all I know is I signed up for an epic adventure saving the world; irritating minigames and menial tasks that have nothing to do with the overarching narrative just weren't fun to me. It just felt like padding and I got bored of it.
