What do you guys think is the most time consuming, boring part of the game?
1. I hated the Great Glacier because each save point was so far away.
2. The Wutai Sidequest, i started it on accident!
3. Raising a Gold Chocobo,

and i never knew you could get one from ruby weapon

4. The Whirlwind maze and lifestream...boooooooooring =/
5. Still a work in progress but, mastering all materia to get mater magic, summon, command. iLY magic pots xD

Great Glacier had some of the most awful navigation I have ever seen in a video game. I usually wing my way through there everytime, and sometimes, I'm too frustrated to get Alexander.

same which is sad since he's my favorite summon too.

my least favorite part was catching the chocobos that i needed initially to breed to get blue and green chocobos. after that, the breeding and racing was pretty fun.

I always hated the whold dateing aspect of it. I found it to be pointless and a waste of my valuble gaming time.

I always hated that thing in Midgar after you put the batteries in whatever it is they go in and you have to swing on that pipe (rope?). I could never get it without trying about twenty times first.

Getting Alexander.

Normally I just skip it, I never use summons in VII anyways.

No matter how many times I read the guide I will never understand how to do that bit. I end up guessing each time. And when I get it wrong I restart. Until I get it. Annoying.

I hated Fort Condor. I always seem to get rolled hardcore.

Fort Condor and getting Alexander, the former is annoying, and getting Alexander is Tedious and not really worth it in the end

It's gonna be either Fort Condor in the early game or Ruby Weapon. I still haven't killed it, which is sad, but since I already always have gold chocobos it doesn't really matter too much

I admit, the first time I stumbled upon the Wutai sidequest, I was so irritated at Yuffie, but after only the first time through, it didn't bother me after that. Other than that, I would say acquiring a Gold Chocobo, but I've always been bad with the Chocobo sidequest not only in this game, but also in FFIX that I called it quits on Chocobos and concentrated on the main story.

I have no part that I have found annoying..
I've loved every part, since nothing is too hard.
Well, iguess if I have to choose that goes for the place where you open the lock with "Key to the Ancients" once I got stuck to that part for so long time that I quit FFVII. Then I started again and used interwebs to find the spot, and iguess I hate every part where Cait Sith is.. Since he's the most annoying character in the game.

navigating the Great Glacier is hard for the first 5 minutes, after that, it's easy. Just find a better map online happy.gif

Oh if I may ask, could someone give me a link to a guide where you can find Alexander, I was wondering there like a hour or so and couldn't find it.
And I tried to find a guide, but I found none that helped me :/

The most annoying part of the game for me was the temple of the ancients as that maze gets me every time.

the most annoying part is going up the stairs in Shinra Building, ( good cos you dont have to fight till the top, but Barrets moaning annoys me!!) or the bit where you have to jump on the swinging pipe ( mostly cos Cloud would never jump when i told him to!!).

The wordplay game is easy by just going into the bottom right library and spotting the Mako bit.

MAKO!!!!
