I never really got into Final Fantasy, mainly because RPGs like that frustrate me because you have to spend too much time fighting to get better rather than just charging at the bosses with your guns a'blazing.

That, and I don't really like walking all the way to Egypt to meet some ancient sage who only tells me "Find my dog in America and I'll give you a secret". You rescue his dog, he says "Thank you. But the object I need, the Crystal Sphere of Some Abstract Importance, has been stolen by the evil Lord Notagoodguy. It's being hidden in a faraway mountain somewhere in not-Egypt. I can't give you a specific location because that would mean that you wouldn't have to spend hours talking to the pants-on-head idiotic townsfolk to find the one-eyed sailor who knows the entire world like the back of his hand. Find my Crystal Sphere and I'll give you the secret".
