Pros & Considerations
Systems
Item Creation can produce dramatically stronger equipment but requires real planning around inventors and workshops

Postgame
Optional dungeons and superbosses are among tri-Ace's most substantial endgame content
◇Consider
Pacing: Several dungeons are excessively long
Time commitment: Long — about 80 hours by the catalogue median
