Still. The missions should have been side quests to do through out the plot rather than stacking them at the end.

The worst thing about them for me is that they show you where they are on the map. So you see a stone on your map and walk to it. See the mark on the map and walk to it. Fight it. Repeat.

FFXII gave you clues on where to find your mark and how to spawn it. They were included into the main game so you could tackle them during the plot if you wanted. And FFXII had marks that were actually FUN. The Trickster, Deathgaze, Behemoth King, Yiazmat and of course the legend that was Gilgamesh. Also optional battles with other bosses like hell wyrm and all the espers. None of the marks in FFXIII are remotley epic
