What I meant was if you can still return and explore the rest of the world right before defeating the final boss? Like in most FFs, beating the game doesn't necessarily mean getting everything, but FF VIII was just sad. You ended up on disc 4, only to find out that you were presumptious with your thinking "Well, I can get Bahamut after I tried to kill the final boss". But no . Start over gain. Such a pain.

I think I'll buy FF XII after the exams.
