JRPGs -- especially ones where you're standing still in battle, and especially ones where that's combined with random battles -- are very taxing for me now, which means that I'm less likely than ever to play through Must Plays like Chrono Trigger or FF6 (although I'm still waiting to see if anything official is done with Mother 3). I think that comes from a mixture of the segregated presentation (re: JRPGS with random battles, it's tiring to have the majority of your interaction be a introduced by a jarring shove into an alternate reality (and to have a lot of your time spent in anticipation of that)), the kind of repetition that happens, and the knowledge that a given game will probably be very long and there won't be much development in anything besides the story.
