The problem is that once you get all the major items from the vendors then the FATEs immediately become obsolete again. Even the materia is nearly useless to buy considering the VIIs take 120 to buy, which if you are generous and say you only spend 2 minutes per FATE and don't include travel time and such, you're still looking at 20 minutes to get a VII and 40 for an VIII. Or, you can do a Hunt train and get more clusters in less time or adventurer in need a roulette if you really wanted to.

I absolutely believe the Shared FATE system is a step in the right direction, but it's missing something I can't quite put my finger on.
