True. But it's not really the hassle of wearing it, just wearing it for that long. If you wait to get 8 characters before you go through Pheonix Cave and get Locke, then you only have five characters left to get, and a couple sidequests, before you're prettymuch done and ready to take on Kefka. Wearing it really isn't a problem, it's having to find something to do to find the 255 battles you need. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't fight 255 battles in the entire WoR.
