I have to agree with everyone on there being way too many minigames even when compared to the original FF7. While the minigames in OG were janky as hell at least they (mostly) tied into the main story, while in Rebirth most of them diverted AWAY from the main story including the ones mandatory for the story to progress, such as the Queen's Blood tournament and the entirety of Costa del Sol, which results in the game's pacing grinding to a halt for overly long tedious stretches.
