I remember being so psyched about this game when it came out. I played it religiously for 50-60 hours total. Stupidly, however, I started saving everything onto one save slot, and I got stuck in the fight again Seifer's two henchmen (forget their names). I couldn't leave the fight to level up, and I didn't want to start over from hour 10, which was my only other save file. Also, I got a Dreamcast, making the game a lot easier to put away and forget about.
I eventually finished it about a year later, in about 60 hours, grinding a little, doing a few side quests, exploring a lot.
Honestly, the ending was such a colossally, infuriatingly confusing, cluster-fucked-up disappointment that I haven't picked up another JRPG since...
