The time limit probably means that certain paths can't be done in each play through because they will be time sensitive. I imagine there will be many events you can do one time and then try again for more. Like FFX-2 's completion percent.
Everything in the OP is fantastic news. It looks like it will be a worthy FF game. Still a little worried about the clock ticking, as I like to do everything only once in FF games, and I like to grind and max out my character(s). Hope I will be able to do that without being to conserned about the countdown.
some ppl are worried about the time limit but if you have to complete the game more then once to get everything then suddenly you don't seem limited by the time and can play without being worried by it
