The stars in the introduction lasts too long, I want to see Aeris' green face dammit.
Watching The Midgar Railway System with Jesse. IT'S NOT THAT INTERESTING, JESSE.

The entire Nieblehiem flashback. It was cool the first couple of times I played, but now it's just boring.
the flash back at Kalm... I hate that more then anything lol
EDIT: damnit mully beat me to it lol.
I wish I could get past the stars after you beat the game. You know the endless stars after you see red XIII and his pups (whats up with that?). They never go away. I only want a new game plus god spam it.
The scene where you have to sneak past those Shinra guards, because I suck, and can never get past them.
Other than that, there weren't any parts I really wish I could skip, in FFVII, there's not much for VIII either.
Fort Condor, at least you only have to do it twice.
The entire second disc. Its when everything falls apart for me: story gameplay, character development...
Though to be honest, I feel VIII had more pointless cutscenes and story segments than VII did. The fact I have a scratch during one of the games several 30 to 120 seconds long cutscenes that are everywhere in that title doesn't help... :eep:

Those serve the narrative purpose of showing how ridiculously strong Sephiroth is. And you're not likely to get into more than a few, anyway, since everything is so straightforward.Quote:

The Kalm flashback lets you turn Cloud into a creepy pervert who sneaks into Tifa's house and tries on her underwear. That's got to count for something.
The trips back up and down those stairs in the Kalm flashback are what irritate me the most. Otherwise I can deal with it. The Corel Prison section also irritates me a bit. Otherwise, not much hey. Oh, Yuffie in Wutai. Rage.
If they had kept the prologue message from the Demo, it wouldn't have been so bad. I really liked the prologue :(Quote:

No one "forces" you to go to Wutai - infact no one forces you to even get Yuffie.Quote:

Yeah, but it doesn't feel like you've replayed the game if you don't do every side-quest available haha.Quote:

But after playing it again I was wrong! Soooo long! God damn it!
Also the lifestream scene goes on forever.
I hate the Great Glacier too but the worst scene for me is the whole Upper Junon sequence. You keep having to walk down that massive road again and again. I don't care about the parade! I don't care about welcoming Rufus! I just want to jump on that damn boat!
Corel makes me wanna puke after playing it for the 10th time in my life.
Final Fantasy VII is like a best friend to me, I wouldn't change any bit of it :(
I always liked the upper Junon stuff, but I definitely agree with The Turk about the Lifestream scene. I think that, moreso than the Kalm sequence, really annoyed me by how long it took. It's all interesting stuff the first and second times, but it gets a bit laborious after that. Not that it's a badly done sequence or anything, just I know what's coming and don't get so much out of it any more.
All though I don't wish I could skip it (as it's an important, and usually interesting scene), but I now wish there was a chance to save straight after those "ilusions" in North Cave (before the Weapons awaken), mostly because I had been on that damn section for ages (I had to keep doing other things, and had to turn off.) I'm past it now though.
Seriously I like that scene, but I was seeing it every day.
The Kalm flashback. Like people have said, it was cool the first time, the second and maybe even the third...but by then we all know what happens, lets just move on and get to the Fort Condor battles!
I often end up stopping when reaching Wall Market and having to deal with the whole cross dressing portion. It's just so friggin' boring and pointless. Just bust in there already! I don't mind the Nibelheim flashback so much.
Hahaha but Cloud's face when Tifa's pushing him in his wheel chair is priceless xDQuote:

Difficulty's not the problem. It's the length. Even with the speed on high, the units move to slowly. I get bored after a couple of minutes and it's not even close being halfway finished at that point.Quote:

That being said, it starts to grate after a while. It's not fun enough, nor are the rewards overly worth it.
