I finally beat this thing yesterday, and have to say that overall it's excellent. Some of the cut scenes were a bit long for my liking, but the awesome game play overshadows any of that. Combat was perfect and I liked actually the questing. By the way, am I the only one that thought that the final boss was a PITA? PITA being short for pain in the ass.

It depends on your level. I was 83 (I think he's 82) so had little issues, but I was frustrated from time to time.

I think some of the cutscenes were quite long, but only really 2 or 3 areas in the game does in matter (Fallen Arm, Mechonis Core, Space Memory). Aside from that, the cutscenes were of a perfect length, and you're looking at around 90-95 hours of gameplay at least for 5-6 hours of cutscenes. That's a mighty fair trade-off compared to must modern games (*Cough*FFXIII*Cough*Uncharted*Cough*). 

You planning on returning to doing the sidequests now?

Actually the final boss is ??? level.  He was tough, but every good game's final boss should be.

I wasn't comparing the amount of cutscenes to the latest FF games since we know that there's a lot more in those.  It's just that some of the scenes in this game went on far too long in my opinion, but overall it's a great game. 

I do plan on eventually trying to get all of the achievments, so yeah I really enjoy playing it.
