You see, the funny thing is, I felt that FFX was an extremely short FF, although now I have decided that it was all in my head. Somehow, I have over 100 hours on the clock. I mean WTF!?!? I felt like I'd been playing for around 30-40.

I think the lack of world map adds to a psychological effect, but maybe it's just because I spent ages doing Blitzball (Even though I hate it, it's compellingly addictive), sidequests, monster arena, and stat-maxing. The game on it's own probably lasts 20-30 hours, but it's the other distractions that give this game life.
