The first is spearfishing, where you actually dive underwater and have to complete a course while getting attacked by fish. All of the creatures you spear get you experience and cash. The second game is baseball. Yes, there's been batting cages forever (and they still have those in Y6), but this is basically a management sim. You recruit better players by completing substories and then assign players to positions, train them, assemble your batting order, and then play other teams. You even have to control the hitter, like the batting cage minigame, a few times a game.

What the?! And I still haven't even started 0! I'll never get there. I did really love the batting cages in Y1 though.

Yep, here's the best video I could find of the baseball management sim (it's in Japanese, but you can see what's happening):

Meanwhile, I'm still over here running through the mists of Nifelheim.

Niflheim is fun for a while, cane. How many more of the optional bosses do you have left?
