HURRY UP, DOOMTRAIN!

Are there any parts/side quests in the game that you simply cannot stand?

I can name quite a few:

The process of getting Doomtrain
The Dollet exam
The D-District Prison
Galbadia Missile Base
Going through the Deling sewers as the "Gateway Team"
The Basketball Court scene at Trabia Garden
Destroying the Propagators
Laguna dreams (However on my 4th and current playthrough, they were not as bad)

Most of these I dislike because they take so long and aren't important to the story.

I didn't like going up and down the stairs of the D-District Prison :P

I liked everything in that place except for having to go up and down all of the time >.<

I suppose it's not as bad as the taking the stairs option of getting into the Shinra building of FFVII :P

STOP ACTING LIKE A RETARD AND CLIMB!

the Gateway thingy is easy if u already have enc-none...
but ur definitely right about the prison part......its so horrible if u want to get all of the items!!!

The only thing that took too long that I didn't really like doing in that game was killing Tonberries to get Tonberry King to come out. However, I killed twenty and the king in less than an hour, so it wasn't really that big a deal.

The trick with Doomtrain is to have everything you need except the Malboro tentacles by the time you get to Esthar. That way, all you have to do is mug and run. You might get lucky and have Odin come out on a Malboro as well. It's a great opportunity to level up and collect the horns of the Mesmerizes. They can be turned into all sorts of medicine and healing magic.

Oh gawd, that took forever DX

I just had someone use Kamikaze, then after the battle I used a Phoenix Down. Of course, I had to switch Aura and Triple to the other two party members n.n

I like killing propagators. I usually aura rinoa or get her into critical and have her angel wing it up. It's very effective 8)

The prison is probably most annoying. Also the stuff with the shumi village. I like the place, but it's so inane and long :(

what about the monster gauntlet you face while getting to ultima weapon? an extremely difficult battle every two steps, or every 4 or 8 depending on if you have enc-half or none. even so, fighting these hard enemies without runnning away over and over again takes an age. and then you probably get killed by ultima anyway.

The D-District Prison
Galbadia Missile Base

I hated that part :( What I most loved in ff8 were fights and when the game was really slow I found it boring :(

All of the events that you listed are important to the story except for Doomtrain and the Propagators. The only events that were boring for me were the Shumi Village and the Deling City sewers. If you have Enc-None for the D-District Prison it's much easier.

Those fights are only hard/take a long time if you have weak junctions. Enc-Half/None won't work because the battles occur at fixed points. I had no troubles at all against the Ruby Dragons. A few physical attacks took them down.

Just the amount of level grinding and item farming I always put myself through in order to have the best magic as early as I know how to get it... within certain levels of patience anyway.

Lord knows I'm never doing Lionheart so early in the game again; the earliest I've done it is disc 2, and even that was a total bore.

The only actual section I don't like is the final Laguna dream sequence. Zzzzzzz...

A part of me just died.

Anyhow, I agree with a few you listed. Killing the propagators sucks because that section of the story is so good that I don't want to be burdened with that stretch of fighting. Hate the sewers.

The Dollet examination is one of the most exciting parts of the game, man!

thats about all i couldnt stand about this game, everything else was great:)

The Deep Sea Research Facility was absolutely frustrating. I have only done it once.

The Card Queen quest bored the hell outta me.

D-DISTRICT PRISON.

All the boring scenes.

The whole Tonberry massacre...

Pretty much anything that bores the crap out of me.

Okay, by not impotant to the story, I meant I didn't like it. :bigsmile:




really.
