steelmanronald06 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Just got the game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIIIt says that normal game play is 55 hours and sidequest is about 100 hours. I plan on doing it all in about 60 Hours. Wish me luck!Has anyone else gotten it/ordered it/played it? It was giving a 40/40..First game to ever get that from this jap magazine! Crazy Graphics! Can't wait till christmas when I can pop it in my PS3 and see it on my HD-TV :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29971-final-fantasy-12/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 60 hours... good luck, you'll need it. ;)No, but seriously, see a doctor. That much FF can't be good for you. ;D Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29971-final-fantasy-12/#findComment-137687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I love FF! It is great. Though I don't like the battle Sim Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29971-final-fantasy-12/#findComment-137689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Oh, yea, it's actually the first game I've preordered and purchased full price in quite a while. I got the full collector's edition with the DVD and all. I will tell you this, if you're going after all the side quests (hunts and whatnot), you'll definitely take more than 60 hours! I haven't had nearly the time to play that I'd like, but it is awesome.As for the battle system, I couldn't stand it when I started, but it definitely grows on you. It's awesome now, though. I love the way it's so much faster than before. You can still wait for your turns, but the gambit system rocks. Also, I like being able to take bosses down in a matter of 5-10 minutes instead of 20-30 like in FFVII, too.@neylitalo - There is [b]no such thing[/b] as too much final fantasy! When I finish XII this first time through, I'll be breaking it out with a strategy guide and playing it again to make sure I got everything mastered.

steelmanronald06 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I preordered it, but I didn't have to pay full price for it.

steelmanronald06 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm less than an hour into it, leveled up 3 times, and almost found the boy in the Sunstone field. Which is pretty good since it is about 1 hour 30 minutes to get to the Sunstone field. :) I am a good strategist.

Are you using the strategy guide your first time through? It only took me about an hour to get the sunstone, too, actually... a word of warning, though: [b]don't even go near the Werewolves yet[/b]... they'll knock you out in one hit at this level Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29971-final-fantasy-12/#findComment-137805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmanronald06 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 I just play really fast. I'm very quick to see the stuff that I'm looking for, and just as quick to see items along the way. I have always been good at video games.

.josh Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 He probably feels that whatever he does must be the standard, or even above standard. It probably does not occur to him (look to his shameless self ego feeding as proof) that he might, in fact, be below the bar. burn!oh well. I'm jealous.
