Has anyone else done this?
A few months ago (over winter break), three of my friends and I sat down and played to completion every "real" final fantasy game.
Between the four of us, we played and beat these 15 games in just under a week. It was a pretty crazy time, but it was a lot of fun.
I was just wondering if anyone else has done something similar and if you have any good stories to share.
Cheers.
Did you sleep?
My friends bought me Kingdom Hearts for me at Christmas. And I spent the whole holiday playing the game through. "have to play, have to play..."
Well, it was actually good thing because I couldn't move much. Had stiches on my stomach.
doesn't beat GalufsBeard thing
President Shinra is dead...
Cloud: "Only Sephiroth can use that sword."
"You sure?"
Cloud: "Of course. He uses it to shave his legs. Do you think anyone else will want to touch it after that?"
We didn't sleep much. Nor did we leave the basement we were in (except to go to the bathroom).
But it was a fun time... it got a little monotonous at times, but it was great every time someone finished a game and checked it off of our list. It was an even better feeling at the end when we had finished them all (especailly because we had tried the same thing a year earlier and ran out of time without finishing all of them).
So this is FF1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10?
there was a picture here
It was FF1 - FF10, plus X2, Tactics, Tactics Advance, Crystal Chronicles, and Mystic Quest. So, 15 games in all.
Basically we played every game that was initially released as a Final Fantasy (so the old GameBoy ones don't count), and we counted out FFXI because... well, for a lot of reasons.
Cheers.
And thus we have the true definition of a gaming marathon.
All 15 Final Fantasies in less than a week........even between 4 of you....unreal.
I bet it was neat finding the tremendous difference between FFI and FFX
WICKED-AWESOME SIG.
I got FFVIII for Christmas one year. I played solid through the first two discs, like 15 or 20 hours, stopping only for food, bathroom and a nap. So I kind of know how that is.
That's pretty crazy. You'd need 4 tv's, a computer, a GBA, a game cube and three playstation 2s.
FFI-III, MQ could be done quickly without problem.
FFIV-VI,CC and T, TA would be the next quickest games.
FFX and X-2 go by fairly quick too.
FFVII-IX must have been the brunt of your time, because those take quite a long time with all the crap loads of dialogue.
Congrats to you on doing that.

Current RPGs: Final Fantasy XII
Yup. We had 4 TVs, a laptop (for playing the rom of FFIII), another computer (for watching movies and stuff), a couple of GBAs and a bunch of systems.
I think that the longest game ended up being FFX, simply because there is no way to skip the sutscenes or make a lot of the dialogue go any faster. At least in FFVII and FFVIII you can just keep hitting X to make the dialogue go really fast. FFTA also took a long time because the team we used worked really well on most battles, but did not work well against the final boss, and we needed to do LOTS of leveling up near the end.
Cheers.
I could never, ever, do such a thing.
I can max, play a game for 5 hours, after that I get really annoyed and get an urge to kill someone, just kidding... not.
Hmmm i dunno how long i will last??
But ya shouldn't! Its bad for you!
Aparently some kid played on it 12 hours straight, he didn't get up, go toilet, nothing. Then after 12hours of constant play, he stood up and the muscles in his legs kinda 'cracked' if ya know what i mean.
He was taken to hospital, and died there. Doc says it affected his brain, started having spasms and stuff.
So yea! You shouldn't do that!
Actually, it was kind of funny because we knew the games we were playing so well, we didn't have to always be giving the game our full attention (especially while leveling up and such). So we'd all be standing or running in place while we played. Every couple of hours we'd take a quick lap around the house to make sure our muscles didn't tighten up too much. Nonetheless, it felt wierd by the end of the week when I did't have a controler in my hands.
Cheers.
All I have to say is....Wow. That's amazing.
