How Long?

[cloud_vaan]

I was just wondering how long did it take you to beat this game? in hours.

[Helios]

To reach the point where you can enter sin, about 40 hours
To the point where stats are high and penance and nemesis dead, 170/180 hours

[Goldenboko]

Dunno I did sidequests before beating the game....

[Tavrobel]

20 hours. My file that has 300 hours on it isn't actually accurate, since for some reason, I watched the movies and would accidentally save. In reality, I have only played for 200 hours, not including the times I played through the game more than once.

[ValiantKnight]

44~hrs to get inside the final dungeon.

sitting at 64~ hours now. I can almost one-hit KO the final story boss now.. but most monster arena bosses One hit KO me...

[LoveMeNot]

it took me about i would say 100 hours throughout the whole game but to get everything up and do quests and stats and stuff i think its about 200....yeah im slow:p

[Moon Rabbits]

33 hours.

[Shin Gouken]

60 first play through and 195 to beat penance

[Nifleheim7]

I think it must have been more than 260 hours to beat penance and do everything in the game...

[Rockyvu]

Bout 30 to finish the game the first time.

[4evarisha]

It took me almost 5 weeks because I stop everytime I die!LOL!

[Zeromus_X]

About 30 hours at the final save point Inside Sin.

Needless to say, I was glad at the overwhelming amount of sidequests and secrets in the game.

[LunarWeaver]

I was in higher 30's basically 40 the first time I ever I think. After that, doing all the hoops and jazz and with extra playthroughs I'm probably at an embarrassing number by now.

Hey, Cloud, what's your obsession with times? I saw you made this same thread for VIII and IX. I'm guessing there's one for every FF...

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

i actually played solid for like 20-odd hours and played through the entire game :D there's dedication (or stupidity!?) for you!

[Jsb01]

all I know is that I wasted too many hours of my life on this game... and many others

[Crossblades]

Around 40 hours

[Breine]

Around 52 hours or so on my latest file. I didn't finish any sidequests - I didn't even play any blitzball.

[Hambone]

33 hours.

[jammi567]

35-40 hours normally. But that was before i tried to do all the sidequests. Now i'm reaching 100+.

[Arvick]

95 hours it was terible that my brother want to play call of duty!!!

[Sefie1999AD]

I beat the first game in 45 hours without doing any side quests and with weak characters (characters with 2000-4000 HP doing 1500-3500 damage to Braska's Final Aeon, Auron doing about 8000 damage after an Armor Break). The second game took me about 60 hours. I got all the Aeons and did some leveling-up and side quests, though I didn't fight any of the Monster Arena creatures or Dark Aeons.

[Yuffie514]

i've had about 235 hours since i beat the game, but never bothered much to fight Sin again, so i kept on playing and the record is now 265:51. of course, getting Break HP Limit for the entire party contributed to much of the time and Gil for a personal sidequest.

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

28:54 to get to BFA, but at 74:50 for sidequests.
