Minigames would solve every problem, it is true.

Thanks for opening my eyes to this.
Because that way if you skip the god awful story at least there works be an actual game. OP is just using minigames as an example.

You can skip the horrid plot and still have to deal with hours of walking without anything interesting happening in between. Skipping the cutscenes you still have 2 to 3 hours of what amounts to nothing before the first dungeon.
