Meaningless convolution in RPGs

[Madame Adequate]

I've heard fetch-quest parodies that don't go on that long.

I'm pretty certain that there are whole games that don't go on for as long as that.

See, this is why I'm glad I didn't get DQ8. Magna Carta <3.

I actually didn't mind doing that. I admit that I was annoyed when the damn harp was stolen, though.

I was annoyed that I had to meet that Seymour wannabe again.

HA HA HA! I wasn't the only person thinking that!

FF1 was like that too, like how you had to go through the horrible Marsh Cave just to get the crown to get the crystal to heal the Elf to get the dynamite to open the passage west. I guess the Marsh Cave is a rite of passage in the world of FF gaming, though.

That does seem a bit long. But a game like FFX would've been better if there were a bit more things you had to do than walk from temple to temple. @_@

Agreed, that's why pokemon got tedious

All I can say is the dragon quest story is funny cuz i wasn't the one who sat through it.

Excessive sidequests are just annoying, but I guess developers do it to stretch the game length. Or something.

That's the reason I still haven't beaten Lufia, it's just annoying.

well if it was a side quest you wouldnt have to do it..... so... it shouldnt become annoying if you steer around them.


again.... bad plot twists.
