I watched FF VII: AC in November 2006, and the other day I watched it for a second time. I liked it more this time since I tried to focus more on understanding the story. By the way, I highly recommend you read the "On the way to a smile" collection of 3 short stories(Barret, Denzel, Tifa), written by Kazushige Nojima(main Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts scenario writer), which take place between FF VII and FF VII: AC. You can get them in the super special edition of FF VII: AC, or you can read them online here...

I'm going for a 100% completion rate in FF VII: CC, but I'm annoyed because in order to do this I have to do 300(!) missions! I have to sometimes stop and do some missions right as they become available, and it's delaying me going through the story. I'd rather do this than skip all the missions and finish in 13 hours, but still I wish there were only 100 missions not 300. I'm hearing that FF Tactics A2 is going to have 400 missions! I'm getting overloaded on missions.
EDIT:
Please answer this question...
Right now I'm at the very start of Chapter 8 and I finished 30% of missions in maybe 21 hours. I want to complete this game with a 100% completion rate, which means doing all 300 missions. I want to finish it by June 24th when Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift comes out. How many hours will this take? I want to know if I can play this game for two hours a day and finish on time or do I need to put in three hours a day?
EDIT:
I just finished Chapter 8! The story is getting pretty intense now. I'm excited to continue on to the last two chapters. But I have only 30% missions or so completed! I'll have to stop and play 30 hours of missions eventually. I'm playing them as they go along, but I don't do the "Hard" ones until they get easier.
