I didn't beat it when I was little, but I HAVE beaten it. It is hard, mostly because you have to keep doing it over and over until you can do everything flawlessly, and it is tedious...

A good RPG should take at least 50 hours the first time through.

Seriously, why? Honestly, it takes a very good game to keep me interested past 20 hours, let alone 40...

What is your Disgaea save at?

How about Final Fantasy Tactics, 6, and 7? (4 isn't that long, though is still good despite that)

How many times did you go through Chrono Trigger? The hours of each game add up you know.

Secret of mana? Breath of Fire 1-3?


Also, on the topic of MMO's... I mostly shared the opinion of not likeing them, WoW is the first one I ahve ever played. I think one of it's biggest appeals to me is that it takes place, in the world of Warcraft, a land I havebeen i love with since before discovering Squaresoft, Capcom, Enix... pretty much everything except Zelda and Mario.

I know for some poeple that means nothing, but jsut like I like you guys, I also like interacting with my community there. My best friend got the game a week ago, by the end of the month we will be able to do much more togeather than just talk a bit and have me help him out.

FF is not a good subject to bring up to GJ if you are trying to prove something. Try Shining Force instead.

128 (good games break the rule, I said)
0,0,0, and 0
Once, then a jaunt through again at WARP FACTOR 5. Only about 30 hours, I think...
0, 0, 0, and 0...

Damn GJ. My Disgaea characters are only to lvl 40 and I'm about 50 hours into it.

No clue. Game never had a timer.

Each playthrough was only about 10-20 hours, though... and you can't stack playthroughs in something without a new game+.

It was probably longer than twenty hours, though. Anyone who could beat that game in less than twenty-five is truly mighty among fans. Also, anyone who can beat the Kraken in SF2 on Unreasonably Difficult mode.

Really? I never was allowed to play the Genesis for long periods of time, so I can never tell how long it took.

And again, OMG-GOOD GAMES BREAK THE MOLD. I just don't want every single game taking me longer to beat than I really could care to invest...

I said a Good RPG.

If it can't keep your attention beyond 50 hours it better as hell not be an RPG.

Or is not good.

Considering Final Fantasy games can't keep it for even two or three hours... they must be platformers, right? :P

I'll agree that FF-X-2 sucks, I lost intrest (and respect for square) after less than 3.

Apart from that, you'r entitled to your opinion that FF is inferior to SF. SRPG's are better for play value anyway. You just aren't an RPG gamer, your a SRPG gamer. There is a difference.

Also, if you ahven't tried FFT you might want to, it doesn't fit the FF formula at all.

Eh...A half-decent strategy game can keep the gears spinning practically forever. An RPG less so. I tend to beat them too fast, and most of them (Apart from the Gods of Our Time) have the replay value of a turnip or are terrible to start with. As for platformers...Hell, I still play Sonic the Hedgehog.

Eh...the Pokemon system is too simple. That's not a bad thing, normally, but the game really doesn't have enough variety to it to cover for the repetition.

I dunno... Pokémon's boiled down the whole genre of RPGs to just the parts I like, namely building up like mad and collecting, and it puts them in a aesthetically pleasing world that works. It's a model of efficiency, for me, at least, that I am amazed at...
