I like how the computer in FFVIII updates throughout the game. I'd never seen all of the things it says until I played it this year I think. I've always liked secrets that aren't essential but build the world and characters. I also like secret weapons and such that are findable if you are thorough enough. I do not like things like the chests in XII that feel like they exist to sell strategy guides almost. I also don't like things like the Excalibur II (I think) in IX since I like taking my time and really exploring over speeding through games.
