I have at least 2000 hours on FFT altogether, since I did count one day, but I've had to make room recently for other saves, so I erased a bunch of old FFT ones (I had about fifteen). Honestly, besides that one "master" save, I don't really do the same thing on each file 'cause that's too much like a routine, and that's one thing that would make the game feel like a chore. I could check, although I'm not even sure my master file is around anymore, because most of the files are full-up on time as far as memory cards show. =x

And is it worth it to LU/LD? In some respects, I guess. The game's easy enough as it is once you've gotten your bearings in the first few playthroughs, and stat-maxing is hardcore and overkill concurrently. I find it worth it because I do it to characters I love (Beowulf, for one), but it's not something I make a habit out of doing all the time, because that drains all the fun out of the hunt.
