You ' re not taking into account the fact that ditto doesn ' t copy HPs of the enemy . Also problem in my area would be that the Dragonite in gyms start at 2600 CP minimum and will usually sit farther back . Another thing is you ' ll never know the attacks of the defenders unless you fought them before , so your glass cannon Dragonitto could have Steel Wing and that would be no fun to fight with . <| sep |> How ? Where do you live ? Are you an alien ? You ' re an alien . <| sep |> Yeh , but it has colors , instead of being useful . <| sep |> Isn ' t that more of a samurai ? <| sep |> Wtf bro you ' ve got some ' splorin to do . <| sep |> I honestly don ' t understand the outrage behind the hours . I would much rather a game end when it should and let it be great , rather than have it go on for far too long and bring down the game as a whole . If the game ' s story can be told in 30 hours or so , then that ' s perfectly fine . It doesn ' t need to go over what it ' s needed to do . It ' s like asking for a sequel to Angel Beats it ' d be nice and all , but if the story ' s already wrapped up , do you really need to touch any more on it ? Probably not . DLC story additions , on the other hand , are another thing entirely . Like other people have said , most FF games you can beat in the same amount of time . The only difference here is , the old FFs never had an Easy Mode selection . If VII had that as an option , people would breeze through the game WAY quicker . But don ' t take my word for it , ask the people who have the PS 4 FF 7 release that came out last year . That game has a speed boost , Limit Boost and a No Random Encounter hack built into it . Using all those , you could breeze through the game in less than a couple days . If that . Most FF games don ' t take that long , it ' s the exploration that you ' re going to spend the most time in . If you ' re spending 18 hours in the Judgement Demo , you ' re gonna put the hours in for the real game . C ' mon . And besides . Most people complaining are the same ones who ' d complain if the story dragged on for far too long anyway . So you can ' t win . Players need to worry less on the time and more on the actual experience thru have . And the only way to do that , is to experience it for yourself .
