yeah, it was a bit iffy, becaue in every other FF (i THINK 9, it's been a while) you could get right up to the boss in the last dungeon and then go...welllll.....MAAAAAAAAAAAAAYBEEEEEEE i want to go do EVERY side quest in the game now. though, if your FF skilled you can tell quite easy that the s is about to hit the fan before you got to lunatic pandora, so theres not much excuse for getting locked out. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but can't you still do deep sea research center?

And for the record, sequal: yes. Remake: NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. and with altered storylines and extra characters? My GOD man, how can you even think it!!!! *shakes head in shame*
