i can usually beat it in 32 hours. that's with getting all GFs (which i use like twice), all cards, everyone to level 100. i skip the lame sidequests like the obel lake quest, the UFO bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], and a few other things. and i don't do anything with goddamn chocobos. waste of time, plus they serve no purpose whatsoever. the fastest i've done it is in about 28 hours because i only leveled everyone up to about 60, except squall who was at 100.

the VERY FIRST TIME i played this it took me roughly 80 hours. after playing it all the way through around 30 times, it becomes rather easy and you can fly through it.
