10 Video Game Decisions That Ruined Your Entire Playthrough

2. Skipping Dialogue - Final Fantasy X-2

In the case of Final Fantasy X-2, Square Enix seemingly designed the game to be as obnoxiously infuriating for completionists as possible, given the utterly maddening requirements for hitting 100%.

In addition to having to see everything the main story has to offer, you're also unable to skip certain dialogues - namely those you have with the infuriatingly verbose historian of Spira, Maechen.

Given that Maechen rambles on and on and on at snooze-inducing length, you'll likely be tempted to skim through his word-vomit or even just skip it entirely, but in a brutal act of trolling on Square Enix's part, doing so will lock you out of 100% on this runthrough of the game.

Basically, unless you're content with using a guide to make sure you don't miss anything, you probably shouldn't even bother with a completionist run, unless your sanity has no value to you. Your time is - or at least should be - worth more than this.
