Yeah. Playing through rebirth and the pacing is super off. I'm at least 10 hours into this, maybe closer to 15, and really there is very little that has happened that is essential to the plot. The story just wasn't really meant for this format. 

The pacing actually does seem to get a lot better after the first part. It felt like forever after the Nibelheim segment until I got to something interesting happening. But since Junon, its been much better. Hopefully that keeps up through the end of the game.
