I remember back in the day playing FF7. When you were summoning Knight of the Round with mimes and all this materia shinanigan. You could literally go take a shower and come back to see the last Knight of the Round summoned.
This is the kind of thing that you watch 5 times and that you just want to skip after because it takes way too much time.


Thats why there is a short and a long version of the spell. It just builds soooo much scale and empowers the player IMO.
