Booted up this game again and realized I hate it?
It's funny, I took a break from it before because it was getting too stressful. But what if that was not the real reason? Maybe I've simply hit at an objectively awful part of the game and was too slow to realize it at the time.

Or maybe, the game is objectively awful and I'm at the exact point where the cards fall apart. (That exact point or perhaps slightly earlier, varying from player to player) (the 'escape-from-burning-building-within-the-time-limit' sequence was certainly a dick move, and rank of 90s era game design)

The game certain has issues. It has the lite beer equivalent of a story, and instead is centered around a job system in which the jobs are absolute fucking rubbish and poorly implemented.

Or maybe I'm just salty because I'm at a dungeon where I have to defeat Ifrit to proceed, but he kills my party handily and there's multiple puzzles you have to solve before getting to him that I'd have to go through on every single attempt. In which case it's a skill issue and everything will be sorted out once I beat him.

Will I get good or put down the game totally? Tune in next week.

It would be easier to get motivated though if there was some incentive to keep playing. Like I wanna find out what happens in the story. I want to unlock the next character. Acquire more jobs. Fill out my blue magic pokedex with all the awesome, varied, and highly effective blue spells that can be found all throughout the game.

Nope. Nada. Nothing.
