I personally have had to restart many games in my life. But I don't really mind, as I'm not following the main storyline or arc of it. What about you? Do you mind restarting a game for you personally?
I don't mind restarting a game either. Sometimes when I start a game, I'm really not into it for one reason or another. Maybe it was the game itself or outside influences. Then sometimes I restart because I don't like how it was going & I figure I could do a bit better.
I had to restart a game because I did not level up my characters enough in Final Fantasy 8, and can't beat one of the bosses, and I can't leave the level to train my characters more to beat a boss.
