I know complaining about realism in an RPG is pretty pointless, especially a JRPG. But... oh just go have a look.

Look at the women at 44 seconds forward, when I came across the trailer and saw this I almost face palmed. I know they are trying to appeal to a male gamer base but that armour design is just utterly ridicules, the armour gives her breasts higher protection priority than her internal organs.
I know they are going for style over function, all JRPGs do, but to have your entire lower torso bare when entering a combat situation? Knowing JRPGs I bet she is a boss while all the fully armoured troops are fodder...

Dude, everyone knows that the only important parts are boobs and vag. As long as those get protected who cares?

-Unrealistically big-breasted women with armour that doesn't look like it can protect a fly.
-The above co-existing with male troops who cover up as much of their bodies as humanly possible. (Guild Wars, I'm looking at you.)
-"Realistic" colouring schemes....meaning shades of gray and brown. When will people designing realism realize that not everyone else is colourblind and there's some actual colour?
-World War 2, Sci-Fi-Powersuits, Ye Olde British Isles, and Feudal japan settings that we've seen enough times to constitute a use of the Vegeta Meme.
EDIT: How PC Games assume you have a system restore point without taking into consideration that there are a lot of people out there who don't know how to do that or your dumbass family member who knows even less than you do manages to completely fuck up the computer beyond recognition, or that Viruses that wipe out your hard drive don't exist, meaning you got a copy of Bioshock that's little more than a coaster since you can't enter the bullsh*t serial code and can't even upgrade your computer.
-PIRACY.
-The "let's be like Half Life/Halo/Doom" mentality that have been making FPS Games sh*t for the past few years. If I wanted to play Doom, I'll just download Doom and play that.
-Western RPGs that try to make the interface about as complicated as possible. (See: The Witcher) If that's supposed to be a sign of intelligence, then I'd rather be dumb as the average Counter-Strike/TF2 player and having fun than playing a game that'd put Stephen Hawking to sleep.
-JRPGs that send oyu on wild goose chases.
-The "You gain HP by losing HP, you gain MP by casting spells, you gain strength by attacking" leveling up system. Can you like, not do that guys? That frustrated the hell out of us in Final Fantasy 2 when clubbing ourself over the head gave you better experience. It only really worked in Morrowind or Brave Fencer Musashi.
-Elitist "PC games are better than you all! Consoles are for stupid people and they suck!" gamers. Remember when the point of a game was to have FUN?

Gripe about MMOs:
The fact that when you buy that game and you subscribe, you're buying all the other players, in a sense - they're an integral part of the game you're playing. And let's face it, a lot of those integral parts that you're "buying" are fucking retards and asshats. You know the saying "You can't choose your relatives"? You can't choose your fellow MMO players either.

Tough. First of all, Why do you have to go back SOOO far if in a checkpoint game (a perfect example=Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, in a way, it was almost impossible because of its checkpoints.)?
And, bad plots.
Any RPG that sucks.
TyVulpine missed out on what could probably be the best game! Legend of Dragoon, if you were good at it, was a kick @#^ game!

I know that I know nothing
Almost exactly how it happened actually. Big problem was that I just wasn't paying attention. If I remember correctly Jericho had a few of those things that never really took me by surprise...yes I actually liked Clive Barker's Jericho, I'm a big Barker fan.

Oh Boy!
Drowning in any sonic game...

Annoyed the hell out of me as well. I mean, jeez, Mario can hold his breath indefinitely, what's your problem, you little blue wuss?
Actually, dying repeatedly to environmental hazards PERIOD is a pisser.

Oh btw, that reminds me. Sonic+drowning=Frogger all over again. -.-

I'll one-up (no Mario pun, folks) you on that:
ANYBODY that takes video games seriously. Way to turn one of my few sources of fun and relaxation into a dick-measuring contest I have no interest in participating in by being an asshole.
On top of that, people who open up a menstrual floodgate about camping.
"Camping? I'm a NINJA! Element of surprise, bitch!"
Then I stab 'em in the back.

That's one of the reasons that I avoid most if not all multiplayer like the plague...other than the fact that I've been a single-player all my life, being the only male below 40 and above 3 within a mile radius.
-Save Points. At least rip off the Tales of Eternia PSP port and make a LOAD point inside dungeons and allow you to save wherever your schedule allows.
-Jailbreak. I know horde in World of Warcraft bitched for the entirity(sp) of 2005 and 2006 about their Onyxia's Lair attunement quest requiring them to five-man Lower-blackrock-spire, but to this day I still say that Jailbreak is far worse.
-Having fights in gameplay based entirely off of luck.

Oh Boy!
Gameshark codes. Are people really that pathetic?

Yeah, but Sonic could at least enter the water, he may not know how to swim, but he can at least hold his breath, not like a Hedgehog is supposed to be underwater for long periods of time, (but on that note, they also aren't supposed to be able to run at insanely high speeds either)
But Frogger, he's a frog, he's supposed to know how to swim, and stay underwater.
Year_of_the_Fox
Not as fox-like as he sounds
when a game is based off of a movie but it turns out ot be those standard run around and punch things until you get from A to B while occasionally collecting an item game. Disney is quite well-known for this (from what I've seen, at least). Emperor's New Groove game could've been soooo cool, but no
Enigmaticat
Oh Boy!
As a kid and getting blisters from playing X-men vs. Street fighter. No technique there, just press everything you can as fast as you can.

"There has to be something wrong with a game where you can spend 15 years practicing and learning every slightest nuance and still lose to someone randomly mashing buttons"
I would say button mashers are pretty bad, but I have an issue with fighting games that typically like to balance the character out by giving one really really junk character a spam move, and whenever that character is used you get group replies (and this is typically in an open arcade so you know that the demographic has less intelligence and less character than post-64 Peach) "Oh what a noob, using such a spam character"

Game engine cutscenes (Blizzard and FMVs will always have my vote)
Getting stuck in clipping (MORROWIND)
The cancellation of an awesome sequel (Nexus 2)
NERFING something that doesn't need it.
Yeah... lots more but really, most of my annoyances are gnerally tied to specific games
