A quick look at the gameplay videos shows that this isn't the case, as we see a minute ticking away about every three seconds.

Honestly, though, if Square tried to make 312 hours full of content, I'd probably be playing it for about five times that.

312 is still short of my totals for FFVII (estimated: 330) and Persona 3 Portable (350).


If it has any sort of rewind mechanic like Majora's Mask, or enough time savers to actually allow you to drag the game out if you'd like, I'll be happy. If it has New Game+, I'll be ecstatic. But just from the video, I'm a little worried right now.
