It is complete BS for people to say "maybe you just shouldn't have done 'x' and you would have had more fun."
I don't agree with that. I remember seeing a review of VIII from someone and he complained about having to sit and draw magic from enemies for minutes upon minutes. Drawing that much isn't necessary for that game. He was purposely making it less fun for himself by just sitting there and drawing from 2 enemies for 5 minutes. I won't blame a feature of a game that's not that detrimental in the first place. I only draw every once in a while when I play the game and do fine.
