That's kinda what I liked about the original.

It had a lot of minigames, but they were very short and most of them didn't have much in terms of rewards associated with them.
Do feel like they should just hand you summons like in the original bit with the option of having the boss battles against ever increasing power variants for those that want the challenge.

Odin wiped me out and I don't particularly want to go through that again because I'm already way over how long it took me to clear the original and that was with a few major sidequests cleared in full.

Chicken sidequest was annoying, but short enough that it wasn't too big a deal.

If the final instalment of the trilogy has Rebirth's biodiversity, but with Nibelheim level of ease of traversal and can be cleared with side content in 50ish hours then that's going to hit all the sweetspots for me.
