Good old times there, with VII,VIII (yuep...IX wasnt my thing, but still....spend a good 100+ hours there too, all max up, best weapons and all that....even the freaking Chocobo treasure hunter game I completed), so lets see:
VII - at least 100 hours, everyone max lvls, best weapons, Limits, and thanx to the bugs, a lot of ultra high level materias...hehehe
VIII - another 100+ game with everything an 'afficionado' (addict) would go for! I remeber being in the islands....was grinding and so...a few hours later I awoke to the game over screen....was going about 4 hours straight without saving to boost there...heheheh
X - My Grid Sphere is complete...with ALL characters! 170+ hours there baby!!!I know people who spend more than 200! Thats kinda too much, even for me...
XII - All maxed out chars, I am still to kill Ultima Weapon, but the rest is done. 150+ hours....Such a pity I cannot play like that anymore.
About grinding in FF games: not really necessary if you just want to finish it, but if you want to complete all the mini-games, treasures and to beat the real challenges the game ofer (weapons and such) you'll have to spend some time doing it, its fun...once you find a good place to do it (XII for example, found this nice live Sochen cave spot where you can do 1-3 lvls per spaw/re-spaw, after lvl 80 easily, you find such spots on your own, or on walkthroughs)
OT - 50-60 hours means at least DOUBLE that to me to really get the feel of the game. I will surelly enjoy it, specially because it will take me months to go through all those hours. |
to XII Ultima Weapon is not the hardest opponent there is Yiasmat which is way harder then Ultima Weapon atleast it takes a long long time to beat him. I beat Ultima Weapon in a couple of minutes without a problem buy yiasmat always takes me an hour.
And the grinding in XII is so easy you can programm the characters so they fight infinite time against this flying thing in the mountain temple which always creats a new zombie and after 24 hours are all characters on max.
And to X do you have beaten the judge without yoyinbo ? Again Ultima Weapon is a joke against him.
I hope it will be even bigger then X and XII. I spend more and more time for every new FF to achiev everything I hope this trend goes on with XIII.
