10 Embarrassing Gaming Moments Our Parents Walked In On
3. Leblanc Massage Mini-Game - Final Fantasy X-2
Square Enix's Final Fantasy X-2 is a...quirky game to say the least, what with its female-only lead cast and idiosyncratic vibe. The game proved to be divisive as a result, and one of the more peculiar sequences has Yuna and co. disguising themselves as She-Goons so that they can sneak into sphere hunter Leblanc's palace, at which point Yuna has to give Leblanc a massage, resulting in this absolutely ridiculous mini-game. The instruction screen, believe it or not, lists the mission objective as "satisfy Leblanc". Though the game itself relies on a seemingly random series of button presses around a small 3x3 grid, the goal is to get Leblanc's "satisfaction meter" up to 32 over the course of 15 rounds. This results in a painfully distended sequence in which failure will result in her squealing in pain, and success results in her moaning in way that's difficult not to interpret as sexual, especially if it's one of your parents and they're just passing by your bedroom door. What's more, if you fall short of the 32/32 satisfaction points, you need to do the whole thing again, potentially dragging the thing out to around 5 minutes if you suck at it. Advice: play this part with the volume down.
