I don't understand how people can get distracted or bothered after a couple of minutes of playing games in 3D, or consider it an uninteresting gimmick. Oh, wait... YES I DO UNDERSTAND! I understand, because even though i feel completely the opposite on all counts, I utilize my human capacity for empathy to imagine what it must be like to have that very different impression of the parallax barrier 3D effect. From reading and researching, I realize that some people's eye placement, combined with other factors, such as a predisposition to motion sickness, or an overly dominant eye on one side or the other, among many other variables, can cause the 3D effect to be a nausea-inducing experience, or at the very least, uncomfortable, and annoying/distracting/etc. As for me, I've encountered a couple of non-3D games lately, namely, Final fantasy Explorers, and 7th Dragon III: blah blah blah (can't remember title), and I, for one, REALLY care that they don't have 3D.. it's actually a deal-breaker for me, or almost, in the case of FF explorers, which barely makes up for the lack of 3D, by inducing the same pleasurable experience that i used to get while playing FFXI online, years ago.
sorry for the diatribe, but my point can be distilled into this main idea: As human beings, we have the ability to equip the ability "empathy". it doesn't use much AP or MP, and it can help to avoid the mistake of assuming everyone shares the same perspective as you. so, Empathy... use it! i think there's a green hat somewhere in bravely second that can boost empathy by 22! (JK... i hope my post isn't misinterpreted as cocky or rude.. I just wanted to mention that some of us really love playing in 3D, and I was hoping some humor would lighten it up a bit)
