It's pretty damn intense as far as stuff to do goes. The first part is basically just grinding out Hamlet a bunch of times, no big.
The next part though requires you to obtain your class-only weapon. These are crafted weapons that are very difficult and expensive to make, because they can *only* be crafted using HQ materials, which much be HQed via crafting, not drops.
And then, once you have one of those (before patch they went for a couple million gil each btw), you must double-meld Tier IV materia onto it, which has about 18-20% success rate. So you might end up needing like 5 (or more) of the damn things.
I get that these weapons are meant to be long-term goals but jeez. Throwing materia meld luck into the mix just screws it up. You might end up blowing up 10 of the things before you finally get one.
All this for weapons that, while they have
really nice stats, will probably just get outclassed the moment they raise the level cap anyway.
