I have 108 hours logged so far. I'm still on the first disc. I'm making slow sweet love to this game. I've been backtracking like crazy and talking to everybody again after any incident that happens. I want to see everything they say, so I talk to them twice each time. I'm doing all the quests for the store clerks. I'm 100%ing all the monster data every time new monsters show up. I beat every boss 4 times to get 100%. If you save to a different slot after you beat the boss, you can reload the old file and fight the boss again and save to the other slot to save the monster data. My characters are at level 30 with all skills maxed.

Out of the 108 hours it's probably 60 hours idle time (eating, watching tv, mostly sleeping)

Now off to En II.

 

@ bolded, lol, thats what you think :P

But holy wow, even just spending 48 hours on disc 1...I wish I had your patience. If I could bear to not want to know the story ASAP after I get into it I'd enjoy my JRPGs so much more. I got through the entire game watching every cutscene in about 36 hours. Safe to assume your enjoying the game then?

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. The camera kind of pisses me off sometimes though. If you pull out too far and the camera senses a wall, it'll pull you super close and then back you all the way out again. It would have been better if they didn't do that. I can turn the camera myself if I wanted to see what's going on. It just messes up my orientation sometimes.

It'll fall close to Fable 2 as to the game that "I really want to keep playing until I beat badly". Fable 2 still holds more of an addiction factor.
