Be it a weapon, armor or item you never got; a boss you never defeated; a minigame you never played or completed; a character you never recruited, etc.
What things haven't you done in your favorite Final Fantasy and why? Do you intend to do them some time or you just find it boring or too much trouble to do it?
FFT:
Master every job on every character. I've done it for some, but it isn't exactly an exciting task which is why I never made it a goal
Max out the base stats of a character using the level up->level down trick. Once again, I've used this to a fair extent but didn't see the point of spending hours to go all the way.
Other than that in terms of an absolutely complete game file I think I have done everything this isn't simply a tedious task of grinding. (ie 99 of every item.)
Final Fantasy X: Have an actually interesting superboss fight. I've only beaten the Dark Aeons and Penance once and the fights were boring as all hell because I grinded to max stats and used strategies I didn't even come up with myself.
So next time I won't grind to max stats, make unconventional armors that don't more or less trivialize the fights, and overall keep myself at a power level at which I still preferably have to think and strategize to be victorious. I did that with X-2 and it was so much fun.
get Zidane's ultimate weapon.
Get every tetra master card ( i was so close i had 85)
attain highest treasure hunter rank.
learn every single ability for atleast 4 people ( i got all zidanes but thats it)
kill a friendly yan.:lol:
EDIT: pumpkins post reminded me. i also havent got Excalibur 2
Gotten the Excalibur II
Beaten it
Great Gospel.
Win the blitzball story game without resorting to the "behind the fence" cheat.
Also win a blitzball game.
Never jumped the rope more than 200 times and never even played hippaul racing, also never going to.
I never get the Cursed Shield in FF6.
i found this place looking for pupu things
so i think i will do the pupu side quest this time :D
I haven't defeated Emerald and Ruby Weapons yet. It will be weird if I still haven't when I finally get my walkthrough finished.
I don't think I've gotten every mark. I'm sure I didn't face Gilgamesh.
Home come? :pQuote:

It was a nice thing getting to know more via the hunts about the people that populate the world.
Yeah, defeating those two is like a rite of passage :p I think the strategy with Emerald is rather straight forward (specially with the underwater materia); Ruby is the harder one as he demands a little more strategy and he counters the Knights of the Rounds with Ultima. Dazers and/or Hades go a long way of halting his attacks so as to make it safe to W-Summon and Mime stuff.Quote:

Never...
- Got all the Huge Materia
- Beat Ruby WEAPON
- Beat Emerald WEAPON
- Got all the Enemy Skills
- Did well with Snowboarding
- Bothered with the W-Item glitch/bug/whatever
- Got all the final Limit Breaks
- Got Great Gospel
- Got all the ultimate weapons
I've done all of that except doing well with snowboarding.Quote:

I've spent many, many hours in the Gelnika morphing stuff, but not enough to get anyone's Str/Mag/Vit/Spr to 255. Luck and dexterity, sure. Actually MAYBE one time I maxed out Cloud. But certainly not the whole party.
Oh, yeah, never got to Level 99 with a character that I can remember. Pretty confident I never did it. Same for 255 stats across the board, obviously. And never did well with the uhm... pewpew thing. The roller coaster whatever thing. I forget.
Hehe yeah I never did well on the Snowboarding game either :). FVII is my favorite and the things I haven't done in it lie mainly on the Gold Saucer mini games, which I am rather in the mood of spending some hours in at the moment. Outside of that, I also never maxed out all the stats of any character and I don't think I ever got all the Enemy Skills on a single play through.Quote:

If I advance the main story, it's because I've run out of sidequests.Quote:

(And still havent' beaten Tactics. :p)
But you're going to complete that last mission now, right?Quote:

I understand the jumprope, but what's the reasoning for hippaul. It's incredibly easy. I got the item on my first try.Quote:

I meant to take Eiko with me to Oeilvert, but forgot to do that. I never got Jump Rope King and I'm tempted to get it this time. I tried at the beginning of the game, but never got past 52 jumps. It gets frustrating quickly. I'm not sure if it's worth it considering the item doesn't do anything.
At least 2 of those are pretty easy to do.Quote:

I believe I did everything there was to do in the original US release of FFIV, as well as the actual version. I also believe that I did everything you could do in the GBA port. Didn't for the PSP port/remake or the DS/PC remake. On average playthroughs I usually don't bother with the random summon drops or try to get the Adamant armor because the process to gets those are time consuming and annoying.
Something more definitive: Did absolutely everything you could in FFVII and THEN some...except getting all the Enemy Skills because who cares?
I care. Having those Materia with empty stars/slots... *shudder*Quote:

Eh. It's not that big of deal. All the ones I use you can get without any effort. The more obscure ones are a waste of time. Maybe if I was as young as I was when the game was new I would go for it, but I don't have as much time as I used to, especially since I still try to keep up with new titles as time marches on.Quote:
