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.

Haha yeah the Final Fantasy games were great to do that with because they had a lot of secrets and extra quests and then the ultra weapons/summons etc. of course you had to do all that so by the end came around I was like ok I think I get it lol. Maybe I subconsciously didn't want it to end and just have it an open ending I dunno. Agreed that's a fantastic game, initially I kinda ignored it because I really didn't like the blitzball lol, but glad I stuck it out.

I got distracted with blitz ball for many many hours and never finished the actual game.

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.

I literally got to the final area in Tales of Berseria and Paper Mario: TTYD and just stopped lol...

It's even worse because I've played through everything before that in TTYD like four times.
