Chapter 11 onwards, you get the option to do that wool... thing. Seriously, is that the most pointless part of this game? Large sheep appear in some places determined by the weather. And you can get wool off them. Which has basically no real value. Arguably the most pointless "thing to do" in FF history. =|
The minisheep are pretty cute, though. And it's funny seeing the initial cutscene. But beyond that, man, what the smurf.
