I think my average FFIV playthroughs were around 20-24 hours on the in-game clock when I found everything in game. I'm not sure about FFV, but FFVI is 30-40, depending upon how much leveling and spell teaching you do with your characters. I want to say FFVII is 40-50 hours and it's just getting longer from there.

Holy crap! I'm already at 45 hours for FFIV! But I am doing a lot of leveling and exploring as Cecil is already at Level 70. This is my first time through most of these games though.

What version are you playing? I should clarify my last post by stating that those times are either on the old SNES FFII or the PSOne release. I'm not sure what my times were on the GBA versions with the extra content and I haven't played the DS version.

I am playing the new DS version and apparently that's Hard mode?

I've only taken 20 hours, and I'm on the moon! But I'm not doing sidequests or powerleveling, just going through. Is lvl.50 too low at this point?Originally Posted by Leeza

My exploring might be sidequests. How do you know what's a sidequest and what isn't? 50 would be too low for me. I like brute force better than magic.

Anything that isn't part of the main story is a sidequest, i.e. Land of Summoned Monsters, Sylph Cave, Bahamut, etc...
The only way I've won most boss battles is strategy. And slow, always spam a boss with slow.
Update: At giant of Babil, where my ass was rather promptly kicked. Going back to level and whatnot.

I'm annoyed because my brother accidently saved over my game.
I'm in the last part of the last dungeon with a party that starts being well over level 80. But I still don't trust myself to go against Zeromus like this. If I can grind some more, I'll feel safer.

I keep getting killed in the Lair of the Father.

I was finally able to beat the game by a stroke of pure luck (Kain was Jumping while Zeromus launched Meteor, killing the rest of the party, and when he came down he gave the decisive strike). Nice!
I know I'm not actually playing as part of Eyes on Plays (I mean I haven't even finished the game I started in july!) but I thought I'd mention that the sealed cave is such a bitch!
If you give Cecil the draw attack augment and then cast reflect on him. All the battles with the doors are a breeze.
Apparently his defense/spirit was high enough that they never killed him once with that ninth dimension attack.
