Seriously, what is with FFIX's minigames? I just started a new playthrough (had to, PS1 Memory Card won't work on my PS3, besides, I wanted to start the plot all over), and I'm already getting turned off the game by the sheer number of annoying minigames. First we have Vivi and the psychotic jump-rope team (every bit as annoying as FFX's Thunder Plains, if not more so). Then we have randomness-incarnate Tetra Master (why do they even bother showing the "strength" numbers when a 38 can be beaten by a 3?), where winning and losing depends on how nice the RNG decides to be to you today. And after that we get tossed into the Blank/Zidane swordfight, which, while awesome to watch, is very annoying to play (not only have to do them all perfectly, but have to do them at a particular speed, that both music and graphics will throw you off of). This game has great plot and characters, I know, but sheesh, it's minigames need to be seriously retooled.
