Having to slog through lvl 50 quests is tedious

[Vstarstruck]

They didn't change it when people complained about them back at the tail end of HW and I doubt they'll change them going forward. Especially with the jump potions being available. That said I do agree with you that the 2.1-2.55 portion of the storyline is a damn slog that bored me to tears.

*points to MSQ roulette*
they changed that after all this time, so they can change this issue too.

(for stupid Minfilia non the less!!)

:0! you don't talk about Minfilia and her minfilias like that! Fite me! D:<

Um, MSQ roulette hasn't changed outside of mandatory cut-scenes and increased bonus iirc. Even when the community has asked constantly to change those to be much more convenient for new players.

Or am I missing something?

making some cutscenes unskippable is quite different then removing or changing a couple dozen quests that could cause a huge hiccup if there was an error anywhere that makes progression through them impossible.

...dont challenge me on how Minfilia is simply the worst and most useless character in this game. I get that she has two convincing arguments to bring to the table (sadly, those have little effect on a straight woman) and that there might be 1.0 nostalgia involved for some people but outside of that shes a really, really poorly designed character. She does nothing but stands around while other people are actually doing the job. Even worse, she turns into the damsel in distress stereotype (I dont wanna go into details, spoiler and such) and all of that while wearing an outfit thats clearly supposed to appeal to the male customerbase - nothing wrong with that, it just doesnt make her a good character. If you - or someone - can like her for that: Fair enough. But the story wouldnt suffer if Minifila would be replaced by a potted plant (seeing how certain flowers sell for a lot of gil on the market, I should pitch this idea to Tataru...!)

[For anyone who want to discuss this: Please try to keep it spoilerfree OP seems to only have reached the end of the 2.0 story - or take it to another thread, I'll gladly tell you why blue eyes, blonde hair and some cleveage dont make a good character!]

Thanks for that. I appreciate it. :-)

No problem! - or rather: it should be needless to say! A Final Fantasy game "should" be enjoyed for its story - even if the part you're at is a bit tedious right now - and spoiler would kinda ruin that.

I can see from the reply I got though that the person in question isnt intrested in a serious discussion anyways - so enjoy the story and judge for yourself if Minfilia is a good character or not!

I know quite a few straight women who agree with us men that those...arguments as you put it...are enjoyed by everyone.

Though, I do agree that she was rather useless during that part of the story...kind of wish they had her do more during the ending of the 2.0 series.

Okay, fair enough! let me adjust that a little: I dont enjoy them enough to overlook that she has basically no character and merely an artificial function - I think I'd enjoy the... arguments of a nice, potted rosebush more in the end.
I just wanted to express, without being (to) insulting that I have an idea why (mainly) men might like her - and at least my idea would be that its because of certain features that arent really part of her character or her personality. And those features arent enough of an excuse to me to have her in the position shes in.

If it's boring you to tears, skip the scenes and click thru the text as fast as you can. Then you just gotta go where your supposed to, kill what you need, bring what you need to whom needs it, and start HW. It really isn't that much of a "slog" if you're blowing thru the text and scenes without a care for them.

Or just find a different game to play. *shrug*
