I just reached Zanarkand today, and in the guide (just before you fight sin) it says Side Quest Time! I only entered the secret cordinations in the airship then went and got the item that was in each one. I want to get all the legendary weapons, but it just looks like it would take SO long. And you have to get two additional items just to get it! So are they worht it?

It's only worth it if you desire to complete the game to its fullest, IE invest enough time to get everything (200 hours). If all you want to do is finish the game, you might as well skip the sidequests and do the final battle. There are some sidequests that reveal more about the plot: Jecht Spheres, Omega Ruins, and Maechen, but these are not essential, and really more for aesthetic purposes. Other sidequests add some challenge and nuance to the game, but outside of Dark Aeons and the Monster Arena, not much else does anything.

Not even legandary weapons?

Braska's Final Aeon can be beat by very undertrained partys.
The best I've ever seen...

Skip the begining or... SPOILERS

It is posible to finish the game and watch the ending early. But in order to play your game to it's fullest, that is max out stats and kill all the strongest boss, it will takes about 200 hrs. For some people, it took them over 300 hrs and they still can't do it.

Max out stats , I mean by

Health 999,999
MP 9,999
255 Strenght
255 Defence
255 Magic
255 Magic Defence
255 Evasion
255 Luck
255 Agility
255 Acurracy

A) health can only go to 99999
B) any MP value above 999 is useless (and it really is)
C) 255 Eva/Acc is vestigal and unnecessary with a 255 Luck rating (base values still required)
D) there aren't enough spaces on the grid to support all 99999 HP and 255 in all other stats
E) HP past 9999 is unnecessary as well, but it makes you look buff
F) Levian Maricks
