    Default How long did it take you to complete the game?

    I haven't yet, but this isn't exactly a spoiler as it depends on how fast you do it. I'm just interested in exactly how long this game lasts for people. When they said 60 hours of gameplay, did they mean "if you want every trophy" or "if you want to get from start to end"?

    Please keep this thread spoiler-free, thanks. Just post how long it took to finish.

    60-70 hours. 100-150 with trophies - that depends on the way you handle some situations, like how you get Gil, how you fight your enemies (which is easier with Lucky Stagger and the Genji Glove for example) how much time you need for your whole equipment, you training method, et cetera. So you the platinum trophy in 100-120 or 150 is possible. But you will not need 150 hours.

    This should be spoiler free.

    From what I've read most people take 50 to 60 hours to complete the main story and with all the sidequests it adds up to roughtly 100 to 120 hours.

    I'm still on Chapter 6 though.

    Damn, I thought it would be 50 to 60 with some of the extra stuff. That's crazy. I'm in chapter 10 at about 25 hours, but I tend to do stuff like forget to pause the time and go make a sammich or post on EoFF for twenty minutes...

    I just started the game an hour ago and I am on chapter 1. Am I taking too long?

    50-60 hours sounds good. I hope I can beat it before Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out, though. I think I'll manage to do it, though.

    I'm 65 hours in and just started chapter 13. I may go back to Gran Pulse and finish up any Marks I missed before continuing.

    Finally finished at almost exactly 3 days. 72 hours and 23 minutes. I did about 40-50 Marks on Gran Pulse so I'm thinking that's why I took so long.

    Huh? I'm only like 25 hours in and I'm at the end of Chapter 11. I even did a bit of grinding in Gran Pulse. Surely the remaining 2 chapters don't take 20+ hours.

    I think that's pretty quick for being at the end of chapter 11, but yes, there is still a lot to get through, pretty much. Maybe you're just ultra-efficient, though.

    Surely they will do. Even with good strategies and training the final chapters can be difficult. So they can take 20 hours because of extra training, et cetera.
