No matter how many times I tried to start and then finish Magna Carta on PS2, I grew to hate the game and stop playing it right around the same boss fight every single time. I had this same problem with 2 other games that would eventually turn out to be 2 of my 3 favorite games of all time (SMT:N and Vagrant Story). On those 2, I kept trying and pushed through and eventually adapted and overcame, however with Magna Carta, grindy RPG with vanishingly small returns for actually grinding + Rhythm game mechanics as a battle system was a bridge too far for me.

It's one thing to expect me to pay attention to my equipment and skills as I go, especially when entering new areas. It's another to expect me to wade through a never ending hell of 15 step QTE-type fights, even to heal, and then expect me to somehow have elemental draws left to deal with a boss that otherwise only takes tick damage while dealing out massive damage because it isn't even playing by the established rules.
