I'm a bit of a completionist, so I always just remind myself that it doesn't take as long as getting the Jupiter Sigil in Blitzball, it's less annoying than Tidus' chocobo training and less boring than dodging 200 lightning bolts.

And it's a hell of a lot less tedious than trying to manipulate card games rules in FF8. smurf's sake.

Also there's legitimate challenge in doing it so it's not as much of a choregrind as FF7's chocobo racing.
