If mini games trigger you, then you're not going to have a good time.

Fuuuuuuu
Any word on them remaking the remakes so they aren't such a steaming pile?

SE won’t do it, so Idea for the modders, maybe?—create the ability to skip minigames and optional side quests but obtain the associated rewards.

Edit: To clarify this is for the complainers; I’m content with the optional stuff.

If this is peoples’ reaction to the Costa del Sol chapter… boy can’t wait to see this place when everyone gets to box throwing in Shinra Manor.

As am I. 100%; without a doubt, unequivocally, under no uncertain terms; I am also content and even happy for the optional stuff.

But words are a funny thing, in a weird way, they convey meaning for our brains to interpret, and the word "optional" has a particular component in it's definition.

"When will all these completely optional minigames end?"

Sounds like not having any agency is a you problem bro. Only a small handful of minigames are mandatory.

Later FF games have more mini-games and QTEs.
Chadley and his stupid A.I. female version make it worse.

Most of the mandatory mini-games are not fun.

And before people cite the OG FF7 having minigames, i wasn't a fan of those either.

aside from the mandatory moments you had to do them in the story the minigames in the original were useless, only the battle arena was worth doing (and chocobo racing if you consider that a minigame) the sub/bike/snowboard/basketball minigames served no purpose

Is this your first RPG or something? All RPGs have optional side content. lol

Anyway, the mini-games stop immediately when you decide to skip them and follow the main quest instead. You're welcome.

[NijimaXL]

When the small monitor from Chadley opens, just pause and skip.

I dont think its idea of mini games that bugs people, as much as how annoying some of them can be. Like whats the point of hiding the button presses? or making the mini game so difficult you have to be NIGH on perfect to get through it.

Some mini games i actually enjoy, Queens Blood and Fort Condor were fun, but like the piano? screw that... Its not worth the headache BUT then they often attach certain materia that you like REALLY need to this stuff.

Honestly i still love the game and it wont ruin it for me--- but i get why people are annoyed by this stuff.
