It's hardly obscure but Final Fantasy 14. They've actually shortened the grind to get to "the good part" significantly since the old days, but it's still way too long and I cannot in good conscience recommend a game where your choice is twenty hours of boring bullshit or paying $20 to skip it.
I recently bought a month towards the tail end of 23 to enjoy my last month of NEETdom in stereotypical style (grinding an MMO).
I think it’s actually not that bad if you have the luxury of slowly immersing yourself into the setting. It made the “twist” more impactful.
Click to interact with bodies.
But yeah, for a person who respects their time it’s still in need of an overhaul.
My first time through I would have quit if I didn't have friends playing alongside me, but yeah that part is brutal the first time. There's a few characters who get introduced in the story who might as well be wearing red Starfleet uniforms, but that scene puts all of the major named characters on the chopping block at least for a while.
My partner is obsessed with that game. I tried it and I'd sooner just get a second job and make money while hating myself. Granted, Guild Wars 1 and Adventure Quest are the only MMO's I've ever liked.
