How Long to Beat

[nobitakun]

I've beaten FFX twice including Penance, all dark aeons, all primers and all ultimate weapons fully maxed, and both times it has taken me 300 - 350 hours. But if you include getting 99 of every item including, then oh yeah, thousand+ hours easy.

Then it means you've not maxed out all aeons HP & MP. That's what is going to take you most of the time. But if you never did it, don't, or you're going to become crazy lol.

i'm working on doing that as well, but for some bizarre reason, i am working on reorganizing the whole sphere grid before i take on the extra bosses.

Cleaning and re-vamping the sphere grid eh? Nice! Are you going the break HP limit route? It's definitely easier to stick with 9999 max HP, and is slightly less grinding overall but both options are viable. Good luck!

it's been a while since i last played that save file, but i recall on clearing out everything possible, placing just enough stat spheres to max out each character and then going for maxing hp and mp. i'll look later and see what my gear is for everyone. i think i got some decent armor for everyone to have.

I do dilly daily when playing games, i like looking at the details and searching environments, on top of that. i am not the best player in the world, in any genre (poor reflexes and all). So whenever i see the times on this site, i try to add about 30 to 40 percent. But I also think it would be fair to assume that, most of the site users are at least one level above a casual player (they were interested enough to at least register to a gaming focused site after all) , so I think the times listed there would be more relevant for enthusiasts, than for most.

Spoiler: Don read if you dislike beer.

Like Brandon who exclusively plays the Fifa's games and Cod's. He also has loot of opinions on what is the best beer (Bohemia BTW), he is overall, a nice guy but we don't really share many interests.

i took some screenshots of my characters stats in ffx on my switch. kimahri is the only one who needs some powering up at the moment.

I usually check HLTB before I start a game to get a ballpark, but I feel like you have to add or subtract a personal buffer for the times to be accurate for you. I can't speak towards the Completionist times because I basically never 100% anything, but my times are usually 5-10% quicker than Main Story or Main + Extra, depending on what I end up doing.

It's not always exact, but if HLTB says something takes 30 hours, my time is probably gonna be pretty close to like 28.

I usually have to add a 15-20% thtoopid tax when I look at overall times to accommodate for my slow ass, but it's a good tool to use in general (especially if I'm thinking about dropping a game and want to see how much time I have left)

The average modern gamer blitzes through everything, doesn't take time to interact with the environment, talk to NPCs, or do anything other than moving towards the next objective marker like a bee to honey. I don't take any time to beat consensus seriously when it relies on your average mouth breathing normies. It's like the idiots who played through The Messenger missing all of the cabinet rants and all of the shopkeeper's stories, or people who can't figure out what to do next in a game because they never talk to any of the NPCs who actually clue you in.

90% of gamers miss 50% of what's in every game that they play.
