Have not played at all since I downloaded it when it first came out. And every time I look, I see people saying it's annoying, so wondering if I'll even bother to attempt it sometime. When people say the length of time issue - is that like the old Legend of Zelda kind of thing where you had to repeat the same task (like slaying dragons, or whatever) a zillion times to have enough mojo/power/whatever to do the next thing? If so, I may not even bother, because that sort of thing annoyed me about all that type of game.
