    You start FF8 towards March or April of the year, and end up around August or September.

    FFVII can control your life for a full year. Don't believe me. Try this;
    • Have no girlfriend,
    • No heavy partying,
    • Have a low hourly job or school,
    • Stop posting in the FFVII section of eoff,
    • don't talk to Mullet about FFVII superiority.


    You're set.

Ramza was 16 when I started the game, and he was 21 when I beat it.
    I think they mean the time it took to defeat Necron, not the time it took for the game, now I have an alternate theory for FFIX's ending but I save it for fan fictioneers. And my opinion does not sway because I go order of how many Tents I used, I had at least 120 Tents by the end of my best playthrough, I used up only 26 or so, 26 days, added by some time Dagger was stuck in the castle for a little while at the beginning of Disc 3. A month.

    V took me the longest. I think that was because it was the hardest FF i played, but then again it beens years since i played it. If i were to play it now i think i would have a differant opinion.

    I usually use 40-50 hours at saving a world, but I've done it in 20 too a few times.

    I think they would take pretty long times. Imagine walking from whatever town you live in to the next closest town, then to the next closest river, then to the next closest desert.

    I'm not sure, but my guesses are... (Note that these are somehow in my mind by an interview i heard or quite possibly a dream i had)

    VII - 6 months
    VIII - 6 Months
    IX - 1 year
    X - 2 months

    So in otherwords, you all are on par to my mind.

    WELL, if they take giant steps, like they do on the map... and uhm, sleep for 1 second and get all the rest they need, like they appear to, it'll take an average of 30 hours (average because early games took a lot less, newer games take longer partially due to FMVs)

    I thought they would all probably take 1 month except a few such as VI where there is gap of a few years in the game.

    I also think that the world doesnt rotate explaining why it is always night in some places and always day in others

    Have a nice day!!

    I don't know about the ending, but a March beginning holds water. Bearing in mind that it's originally a Japanese game, the Japanese school year ends in March, the next year starting in early-April. Given the situation, final exams and a graduation ball, that kind of time-frame makes sense. However, it far from guarantees it as fact. I'm curious as to how rubah's so sure myself. At best guess, I'd assume it has something to do with birthdays (Rinoa's is March 3rd, Squall's is August 23rd), but I've no idea =P

    The first magazine you find is Weapons Monthly March. The last one you find recently published is Weapons Monthly August.

    The Garden Center computer system says that exams are in the spring, Garden Festival is in Summer during break.
