I'm the one who said 'too arbitrary' for FFMG, actually... Or rather, there was an obvious cap for each minigame which wasn't in proportion with the amount of time it took, with a few exceptions.
I felt that some games were rewarded far more than they should have been, and some were completely out of proportion: for example, 30 points for Guess the Song. 10 points for picking twelve names. If you're lucky, even if you absentee bingo, that's 25 points, effortlessly. If you're really lucky, 80 points - way more than Guess the Song, for way less effort.
I think luck games are good because there's a thrill to them, but there was a serious case of ...O_____O on my part when I saw how much the bingo points were worth in comparison to trivia games and games that took a lot longer to run. (+40 for first bingo would have been nice, for that touch of extra luck, but +70 made me feel like two minigames' worth of effort sort of disappeared into nowhere.)
