It's been awhile since I've played this game, so I don't really have much memory of it. I do remember that when you take out the grinding for items due to the fact that you can't get items and experience at the same time, it wasn't really a terribly long game, and that it was easy to end up completely missing out on sidequests...which turned out to be a blessing, because the main reason I never went back to 100% this game is because about two-thirds of the way through the game, I lost the ability tosave and had to marathon through the rest of the game without ever shutting off my DS, putting it into sleep mode and on its charger whenever I had to stop playing. Maybe I just got a bad copy, but that's the type of thing that turns a gamer off. The ability to save a game has existed since the late '80s and has been standard since the mid-90s, and especially on a handheld system, it's a necessity. I remember being kind of frustrated with the Fake Longevity anyway, but that just killed it.
What a mess.
