The Challenges of Riviera, These button-pressing sequences are driving me crazy! Options

[Seth-Rah]

What was the most frustrating part of the game for you? (I need someone to relate to about these freaking button-pressing events asdkfja)

I just started the PSP version (after playing the GBA game through twice) and I'm up to halfway through Lacrima Castle.

It's always Lina wants this! Excel, go get that!

Do you know how many times I attempted to catch this stupid bat? >:|

[Hayate]

I tried to save a slot for something useless in my inventory at all times precisely for Lina's ridiculously stupid food skills. That lasted for like five minutes. XP

I hate the timing sequences--the ones with the bar and the little white spot that you have to make the arrow stop in. I can never do those except maybe once in a blue moon. There was this one part in the ruins where you can either have Serene or Lina get an applecot in a tree and because I am a bloody perfectionist was trying to get Lina's ending, I tried having her shoot it down. GRAGH.

Also the chests with roulettes ticked me off because I'd see an item I could skill up with in there, and I'd never get it and have to reload like fifty times--only to suck at the rest of the level or something else stupid.

Isher is a royal freaking pain in the arse.

True; one time it took me five tries to get the Magical Icicle and the Blue Stinger at the Hell's Gate. If I missed, I had to repeat at the start of that area, battle a demon team consisting of a Dragon and two annoying Beetles, then try chopping the icicle and get the Blue Stinger. Ugh.

And Isher's one of my issues, too, since his Break Out skill--Fallen Crest--is both unblockable and unavoidable! So unfair! How come none of the playable characters have Over Skills that are both unblockable and unavoidable? And screw him for his high Guard rate! At one time, it took me four tries to get an 'S' for beating his ass!

That god damn rock skipping thing. Took me like 5 tries.

I was like'

" WELL! AFTER ABOUT 30 SKIPS, THIS MUST BE OVER. WAIT! WHAT! MORE! ERG ZFB ZH Z Z ZZW T G!!!11"

Good thing I was able to accomplish this without retrying. That is, only to find out, that all it does is knock the living daylights out of some freaking Undead at a ridiculously long distance. My first thought was, "How in the world did that become possible?". But then again, accomplishing this gives three scores--all recorded in one turn!
