@mushi I've encountered it in a lot of other JRPGs, so I'd almost consider it a recurring trait of the genre but I feel that it would defeat the purpose of a genre in the abstract sense to highlight it with a recurring flaw among many works in said genre. Though it's annoying nonetheless and it's frustrating that so many games in the genre get their pacing so wrong. Generally if the narrative is really strong I'll usually slog through but if the game is standing up on mostly its gameplay alone than it becomes significantly less forgivable.
