Terransheep427 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I would say my time will sit around 100 hrs totally enjoyed this game and take it a bit slow. sometimes i use L2 to speed some easy battles up, but mostly I just let it flow~ hence my time is a bit lengthen.

Archavia Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Finished with a time of 39:00:45, managed to beat my goal of 40 hours. 36-50 hours. Edited April 13, 2013 by Dark_Raven666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturia Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Pretty much can be done in under 40hrs since it took me less then that and i was taking my time, so 36-50 hours range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yumi Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Cumulatively, it took me around 45 hours to earn the platinum, which is two times faster than when I last played the Japanese version of the game, and also, I took my time and enjoy some of the scenarios. Anyway, my vote goes to the 36-50 hours range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terransheep427 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Come on guys, this is the time for getting Platinum, not the time u finished the game alone. How did you reach lv 99 with just 40 hrs? WITH the story as well? And lily ranks, and quest ranks? Remember you cannot press L2 too much because that count towards "Speed Runs" in the rules... sigh... Come back with proper answers or else I blow u up with explosive cows near the bridge. jeeeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trophy guide can precisely answer all of your questions if you don't mind reading through it. Also, I did mentioned "cumulatively" because I did 3 split playthroughs and 1 NG+ playthrough to get 40 points for Chapter 2. I have experienced this game twice now, so my vote was solely based on my "experience in playing the game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRNOFEAR17 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I did platinum the game in 81 hours. I did screw around a little and was trying to complete most of the sidequests. I did not skip any events aside from my second playtrough (where I skipped some of the events I already saw before). 40 hours is possible if you skip almost every sidequest and use the guide from the beginning. It is just how much you want to enjoy the game I believe. Edited April 14, 2013 by XRNOFEAR17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be ur first time, don't skip dialog with and don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My time of 39 hours was watching every scene and enjoying the story. Sure, I used to skip attacks, but that doesn't degrade my vote at all. The features exists for the sole purpose of using it, which most players do. My overall gametime was about 42 hours due to reloading for the Good Ending, but that still falls within the 36-50 Hour vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to get this done and move on? Yeah trophy/achievements tend to have this conflict anyways ~.~ some ppl just wanna get them done and move on asap. yah and so this game should have 2 separate records. 1 as "oh yah i beat it using :l2:" 2. as "i play it without " Edited April 15, 2013 by Terransheep427 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unnxandros Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 40 hours so far. Almost done with the True End, Level 75.- Need Lily Ranks, 25 levels, and I'll be done. My guess is, that I'll reach 60 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few people - trophy hunters or otherwise - enjoying watching the same attacks play out hundreds of times over when they are given the option to skip them.

sweett310 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Per the voting guidelines, your vote should coincide with your own personal experience. If your own personal experience was to enjoy the scenery, vote higher. If you own experience was to skip every scene/attack, then vote lower. The goal is to include comments to say why your time took as long as it did to help other people determine whether or not they want to play it. If I'm not an RPG fan and I see it CAN be done quickly, I might give it a shot for platinum. If I love RPGs, I might be enticed to know that people spent upwards of 100 hours enjoying the game.

unnxandros Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Quick update, I wasn't at Hour 40, but 32. Right now im at hour #42. I've finished the True End, Im at Advancement Test #5, already grinded my 100 synthesis and 100,000,000 Credits. My party is at Lv 85 and will get all lily ranks soon. My guess is that it wont take more than 5 hours, but 50 is a nice number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenica Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 My vote goes to 51-75hrs. Took around 70hrs for the platinum. Probably cause I didn't skip the battle animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally possible, I'm about to finish the game up with about 30 hours total. Not going to lie, most of the events/scenes I didn't care for in the slightest.

trtr654 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Personally I believe anything over 70 hours are misleading. The story took me 32 hours to get to final boss. I simply avoided battles in the dungeons unless necessary grinding before boss fights. and in total it took me about 40 hours. Even if take it leisurely, 60 hrs is about enough. Honestly, who would watch every attack animation while farming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitsuna Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It took me around 68 hours all in all. That said, I usually like to take my time when it comes to playing RPG's. I could probably have cut that down by ten to fifteen hours by being way more efficient, not doing as much item crafting as I did and not exploring as much as I did.

DrZero1983 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't think my vote counts, because I received the platinum after 526 hours of playtime, but I completed all the DLC dungeons and colosseum fights (the level 999 too ) and unlocked all the bonus voices and craftable items.... after a total of 577 hours.
