was it FFIX that had one of the strongest weapons gated behind an extremely tight play time requirement such that the recommended strategy was to like open the PS1 tray at certain points because it would halt the ingame timer (or like leave it on super long to overflow the timer) or am I mixing that up with a different game?
Yeah, you had to reach the end of the game in under 12 hours. And yeah, the alternate strategy was to leave the timer running until it resets, which takes a long time, of course.
Don't think it's quite as dumb as the FFXII one in the poll but it's up there. FFIX has a lot of bad side content.
Can't wait for them to faithfully preserve it all in the remake.
