So long story short?? Is it worth the grind. I've been trying to get for at total about 6 hours with reloading saves to not hit the max level cap. But in your guys opinions does it help out?. I have gotten in all my other playthroughs but this one i'm finding the grind to long.

Yes and no. If you want to complete the game 100% perfection, it is a must have. If you're a diehard fan, it's worth it. If you just want a quick playthrough to reach the end and beat Giygas, by all means skip it.
