I forced myself to complete 12 a month or so ago.I've played several Final Fantasies and I always get to the bit before the final boss then try to do all the other little bits around the game, then realise there is a fucking ridiculous amount of stuff (most of which so obscure even with a guide it is difficult to find) and then give up.
N.B. I am redexxing on this.

I did EVERYTHING in FF8 except beat Omega weapon.I got Eden from Ultima weapon, though.
And I think if you're redexing it's just you, it's fine at my end :/

Yeah, well I don't think they had as many sidequests and shit back in those days.In FFVII the only extra stuff was the Weapons, Master Materia, the two characters and Ultimate weapons/limit breaks.
The stuff never fucking ends nowadays.

Humm getting quite tempted by Fallout...Mrs H may divorce me however. Might have to give it a couple of weeks between exhausting Fable and starting up a new role player...

I think I'll have to wait until I finish my degree at this ratethen just nail it over summer or something.
Im tempted to get oblivion as you can pick it up for about £12 on play.
But that will still waste many many hours.
Saying that tho, ive wasted about 5 and a half days playing COD4 online.

The thing is though in RPGs the stuff doesn't really serve a realistic purpose, especially Final Fantasy, because you don't need the ultimate weapons or great materia to defeat the final boss.And after that, there's no more game for the stuff to serve any purpose.
I think it would be useful to have more stuff earlier on where you can get a good item which you wouldn't normally be able to acquire til later in the game.

Hahah, yeah.I got all the GFs in VIII, most of which I levelled up fully.
All my characters are full level, too, as I went to the islands of heaven and hell and battled level 99 ruby dragons over and over again :D
I spent about four hours doing it.
And I also picked up a shitload of magic there, too, so I equipped 99 ultimas or auras to strength and hp :D

Yeah, see I always think that whenever I get to just before the boss at the end of any FF game.Then I realise it's fucking pointless, not to mention that it would take god knows how many days to actually complete the stuff. Though now with achievements and trophies, game developers won't be happy until they make you do their boring shit.
