I regret calling it a "Mini-game Suggestion" now... that term brings back horrible memories for me as well... I hated the Gold Saucer mini-games
It is not so much what you call it, as it isn't much of a quest. RPGs are allowed to have quests. They are not allowed to have mini games. This is why FF6 was the last good Final Fantasy, even if latter ones could have their good moments.
