Thread: How long did it take you to beat it the first time?

    Default How long did it take you to beat it the first time?

    I clocked in at 30 days my first time.

    KEEP IN MIND. There was no timer programmed into the game. I had to do things like eat, go to school and sleep in those 30 days too.

    So how long did it take you?

    Still haven't done it yet. I got lost somewhere. Maybe I should carry on.

    Depends on which version as well. The original NES version took me about 20 hours I would guesstimate due to adding in things like grinding and being killed and having to replay sections over. It took me a few tries to beat the Chaos Shrine for example.

    PSP version? About 8-10 hours. Not terribly difficult when everything is inexpensive, all the spells work, and the game is designed to be anti-grinding compared to the original. Didn't even need to use the Peninsula of Power trick.

    About 35 hours on the Origins version. Didn't play any other versions of the original besides that. Pretty difficult without a guide and no understanding of what a real RPG was like (like running 5 feet in the wrong direction at Lvl. 6 and fighting a Lvl 50 dinosaur or something....oh and you forgot to save lol).

    EDIT: Oh but I see you meant the total time even when the game was turned off? Probably like 15 days my only time through.

    Couple of weeks, I think? Difficult to remember, it was about 10 years ago. I was a random student bum and I did it on a NES emulator so it wouldn't have taken too long.

    The GBA version took me 16 hours and one minute. I also managed to beat it in one sitting. Never again.
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    It took me around 30 hours on the NES version with the original guide. I was 5 at the time so I was super happy when I finished it.
