How long did it take you to finish the game?

My first play through took me about 4 months I want to say...but I didn't get all of the GFs and whatnot.

I'm on my second play through and I've been at it for 6 months now. I'm at the end of disc three but I still have all of the side quests to do so I'm going to say if I play it actively I could finish it in about a month, if I play it passively I'd say 3 more months :)
 
My first playthrough was quite long game gameplay and time wise. I think it took like 1 year mainly because I never played it all at once due to the fact i got FFX right after that. Gameplay time like 60hours i think and i never got all the GF either. I'm currently playing a secord playthrough now, just brought it from the PS store.
 
The first runs always take the longest, or the specialised ones. (Such as perfect runs.)

I honestly can't remember how long it took me on my first go, that was many years ago and i've done it so many times since then. xD
I think it took me a few months of playing on and off, and since I was a very (I still kinda am) impatient gamer i'd rush ahead. Running from all battles so I could see what happened next.

This then created the problem of being underlevelled for bosses, I was only young and also didn't grasp the Junctioning system well, many an hour was wasted.
 
Well since I started when I was 8 and since I was terrible at understanding the junction system at the time, It took me forever to finish the game. I was about 11 or 12 when I actually finished it! (The boss battle on the second disk really fuxed me up a bit). So yea I'd say it took me about 3-4 years to finish it. So much dedication and sweat. The hours I played the game were actually maxed at 9999999 or something :/

But the second time I played it was like a month and after that it took 2 weeks. (I'm including acheiving all of the sidequests and card battles)
 
Initially it took me 120 Hours to finish FFVIII.

About 90 hours for my first Perfect game, 3rd play through.

In that game I spent most of my time playing cards........and only on the odd occasion maybe saving the world lol

"they just crossed the Esthar border with Lunatic Pandora!"

"Yeah.......in a minute! I alomst got this Ward card from that Odine bastard!"

a conversation I had in 2001.
 
I took a grand total of 15 hours. with grapping secrets and filling ultima on all characters. so once i got used to the system it was only a few days.
 
I played FFVIII in the summer and took 2 weeks to pass it on my first try, then also 2 weeks but making a almost perfect game( didnt had the patience to get all the cards especially when i spreaded the random rule and some others rules that keep screwing me over xD)
 
My vote goes to entry #3!
I love this piece of writing! It captures the emotions, scenes, characters and atmosphere so damn well! I felt like I was reading chapter xx excerpt from a really good book. I get really tensed up reading several moments in the fanfic. I find myself wanting to find out more at the end (even though I know how the story goes).

Awesome job!


Special mention to entry #2. Oh my goodness this entry is satire at its finest. I can't stop laughing reading it, in a good way. Creative jokes in there, IMO. :D

Entry #1 has some really great ideas about the R=U theory. But entry #3 just appealed to me more in the end.
 
I would have to say to get to the final boss I took me at least 2 months, when I start playing a game and really enjoy it I will sit there and play day after day as much as I can. And that is including all the little side quests and GF's. When its all said and done it's not a horrible game to play, I did have some issues with the final boss I hated the fact that there was I think 5 different battles. But the final boss had nothing on the Omega weapon now that was a challenge. Anyway its a great game I enjoyed beginning to end.

Whattt?? :confused: You reply to the wrong topic?

It took me over the course of 3 months to finish this back in 2002, but in terms of game play time, I beat the game around the 30-hour mark. That was with getting almost everything possible in the game as well. almost 13 years ago, Seems like forever. But I'm like that when it comes to completing a game, I want to get as much as possible to 100% it.
 
haha, idk, i last played it when i was, like, 10. :lew: i think it took me a month or so. :hmmm: i know my sisters can play and beat the game in about a week now though lmao :hmmm:
 
I can't remember when I first played the game because that has been way too long, but a few summers ago I played FFVIII again. I put a lot of hours into and because I was working fulltime, it took me a good 4 months to actually beat the game. I got frustrated with the final battle though... damn randomization.... my party was baaadd. :sad3: lolol the final boss was probably what took the longest for me :lew:
