the game should have a lot of content but most is optional. fighting is a must, but openeing a shop isn't. adventuring/exploring over 'save the world' story will prevail in most of all story related scenes, but you could just ditch the story midway and go join TR or something. point is, the game should offer as much to the player, and the player will play the game as it wishes.
