Forums - Gaming - FF13 Main Quest will be 50 - 60 HOURS LONG.....long enough for you FF fans?

FinalEvangelion on 01 December 2009

Sounds about average FF game to me. They used to be about 30 hours. FF9 and 10 were about 50 hours from what I remember. Of course there was the 12 hour challenge in FF9.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Huh? BS!

Especially with how cheap are FF superbosses.

Well....at least you characters heal to max hp after every battle. That kinda makes up for it.

Gah, stop spoiling stuff! @_@



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I did at 60 (well, first time... not much grind!)

Second... at... 150 I think. Maxed out everyone, did all sidequests, did away with Penance and Nemesis... (Nemesis is just so BORING...).

The only other games that got similar honor from me are FF VIII (80 hours twice while taking full advantage of everything in the game) and... P3 FES of course. First Journey... 182 hours. 94% personas only though =/

I spent like 250 hours on Persona 3: FES.

How?

I'm doing tons of side crap and I just eclipsed the 70 hour mark.

grinding for one or for new/fuse personas.

Why?

Why?

Cause I make enough money to be able to buy all the latest equipment for my party member and also cause I wanna make stronger personas to be able to defeat the hax monsters and bosses in P3. Also because it quite fun.

I've beaten all of the majors shadows and in mid November and I haven't had to grind yet. I guess I haven't reached a point to where I need new personas.

50 hours ? wow , i wonder how many cut scenes will be in the game



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Ssenkahdavic on 01 December 2009

Yea, I wonder if this 50-60 hours included watching to skipping Cut-scenes. I still remember playing Xenosaga and wondering how many of those 40ish hours I put into the game were actually watching those crazy long cut-scenes

I have a feeling that the long, cinematic epic nature of modern jrpgs has a lot to do with how jaded I've become with the genre. I was playing Rhapsody A Musical Adventure (PS1 jrpg), known for its short-length and quirkiness the other day for a couple hours and I couldn't stop laughing my ass off. The characters made that game. No cinematics, no soap opera, no overly-inflated main quests with lots of filler. The game designers focused on telling a character-driven story and it seems like a fun quirky little ride. The feeling I get from that game is similar to the feeling I get when playing a Phoenix Wright game. There is a certain soul and charm to games like these that that you won't find in many of these modern cinematic soap opera jrpgs. There is more soul in these 2D sprites than in all the cinematic soap operas that Square-Enix can throw at us.

Game designers shouldn't be saying, "alright, we gotta make the main quest 60+ hours to please our hardcore fans. We gotta put boatloads of cutscenes in our game to make it look like a blockbuster hollywood movie J-style" No, they should be saying, "we should do what we need to do to make our audience feel a human connection to our characters. Because that is the soul of a jrpg. Not how many dungeons we make you go through and not how many cutscenes we make you watch before you get to the big bad."
