So the game is incredibly long if you include all the side content. The length comes out to be longer than it should be in my opinion.

This problem can be remedied by not doing optional content. But I cannot bring myself to not do them:

1. I want to have all the summon materia. That is non-negotiable.
2. I also want all the skills for the Enemy Skill materia.
3. I also want to do the "dangerous fiend" boss fights because those are fun.

Because of this I end up having do most of the side content. The protorelic stuff has some story related relevance so I do those too even though I don't like the minigames.

That's it that's the post.
