    I used to do this with JRPGSs all the time, I’d spend hours and hours grinding levels but when it finally got near the end I’d just stop playing.

      I did that with Final Fantasy X twice before I finally beat it. I was literally two boss fights from the end of the game and just dropped it for no reason both times even though I absolutely love that game. Glad I finally beat it though because that game is amazing.

      I’m sitting on a scarlet nexus run… turns out there’s some other media related to it so I’m debating re-starting it…

      I love those super ultra long jrpgs… sometimes… but man they are wicked difficult to finish sometimes. I think it’s around when the interpersonal dialogue starts getting redundant (because you might not watch/play through all of them, and if you do it’s repetitive), and I just get bored with the relationship building so the story isn’t holding me anymore.

        Yeah I feel like they have gotten a lot more verbose with each generation haha, to be honest the latest generations have been a bit much for me because of all that extra dialogue and yeah the relationship building and a lot of other mechanics they throw in that detract from the game tbh.
