This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube.

What is your favorite game that you feel is really cool and special but you never felt the pull of actually finishing it, and why?

I'm just now finishing Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US).

Took 30 years, but I'm finally doing it!

I was thinking about that game as I was scrolling this thread. That's one I should revisit myself. I played that game a lot when I was younger, but managed to never complete it as I always lost interest sometime during the World of Ruin.

Once you get to the world of ruin, they really don't give you much direction. It must have been really confusing for kids without the Internet. I've had to look up a lot.

That's one of the reasons I lost interest as a kid, as I really didn't know what to do and you could totally wander into an area you just weren't ready for yet. For that reason, I liked FF2 (FF4 everywhere else) as that one pretty much guided you along on rails.
