True, but VII is such a time consuming game to begin with. Yeah your a good 20 to 30 hours in but seeing as how the game is like 100+ hours long using a guide I don't see the harm especially since the Job system is really awesome in this game if a bit on the broken side. Shepherds kick ass

VIII's has an amusing system but it lacks the depth of the Job system and well... I'm bias here.

Not to mention its only possible to actually max out two of the categories in VIII and that's only if you get max levels which is an act of god in a DQ game.
