OMG This made me lurch forward in my seat as I laughed aloud. People around me in the library gave me hard looks for a disruption. Screw them!Is that an RPG?Bleach is a bitch.
As for me, I don't know. When I first watched my cousin play FF2 (FFIV reality) on the SNES, I didn't know what the hell an RPG was. After FF7, I've played about a 73 RPGs, several of which I bought and a lot of which I bought before playing.
Final Fantasy VII: I bought it after I beat it as a rental. I was new to RPs so it took me several weeks to work through the game. Beating the final boss was relatively easy in comparison.
Tactics: can't even start it.
VIII: beat it.
IX: beat it.
X: beat it and stopped playing it.
XI: yeah right, like I care.
X-2: beat it twice and I stopped playing it.
DoC: beat it but I can't unlock the secret ending damn it.
Xenosaga: haven't beat it.
Episode 2: haven't beat it.
Star Ocean Til: haven't beat it.
Wild Arms 2&3: haven't beat'em.
Well, as you can imagine, the list goes on. It shows that aside from Final Fantasy (and Tactics), I'm notoriously incompetent with RPGs. I still hold it in my opinion though that anyone who claims that a game with 40+ hours of play was 100% completed before even reaching the 24-hour mark is either lying or a psycho-savant and should be devoting their unimaginable brain power to curing the uncurable and solving for war rather than wasting their time and energy on a forum complaining that a game was too quick and easy.
