i have NO idea why it took so long for me to beat FFX... guess because it sucked so much, i just leave the game and go off somewhere else for hours and hours and come back just to see the TV still on but yeah... i was pretty surprised that the end came so quickly. i guess 55 hours is pretty long but not compared to the other RPGs i've played. FF6 is just amazingly long but also interesting. This one sorta lost me on the Ridoranna Cataract.
