The content of 4 DVDs would fit comfortably on a single Bluray disk.

Think I'll give up drinking as well. Would normally buy a game like this on release but didn't even arrive home until very late saturday during the weekend.

Damn you people and your free time.

Heh, I bloody wish!
I only got stuck into it yesterday due to having the day off after working 7 in a row. (managed 10+ hours of playtime yesterday:p)
I've got a feeling that I'm going to crawl through the rest of the game due to lack of free time...

My newfound love of JRPGs isn't going to go well with full time employment:(

Ah but last night was a good episode.

Be thankful you didn't do what I did... I bought the Lost game on Friday and brought it back to exchange for Lost Odyssey on Sunday on the grounds that Lost was rubbish... they seemed to accept this reason... but I did miss out on two whole days while I was playing the muck that is the Lost game.

Finding it hard to get time as well - why did I have to organise all my morgage stuff the same week as a new JRPG?

I'm just onto the 4th disk as well. Reckon it'll clock in at about 40-45hrs overall which for me is just perfect.

I've only played LO for two hours, I've decided to leave it until I beat (I'm sorry about this) Lost. And maybe the last few secret missions in DMC4, but that'll just be frustrating. I'm thinking of staying up to finish Lost tonight, then continuing LO tomorrow. Or, if I'm feeling silly, tonight. Oooh, I can't wait, it's been so long since a JRPG has really grabbed me!

For shame...

Nah, just kidding. This deserves your undivided attention, which I reckon it just might get!! Get the other stuff out of the way first!

It probably has the best surround sound mix I've ever heard in a game too.

I've had to look around a couple of times thinking there was something in the room with me, but it was just clinking of armor coming from the rear speakers.

My new Home Theatre system arrived in the post this morning, can't wait to set it all up and get stuck into disc 2 now.

thanks sir!!now i am sure nobuo is back!!:D

Music in this is epic in the appropriate places and is ambient in the dreams. Main theme is fantastic too. Great stuff all round!

I'm 15 and a half hours in on disk 3, just arrived in gohtza, seems to be about 6-7 hours per disk.

Are you not exploring everywhere and talking to everyone?

Took me 12 hours to do disc 1... I'm 17 hours in now and still on disc 2... just finished the section that feels like Resident Evil.

Oh and one thing I like about this game that drives me nuts about most Xbox 360 games is that it lets you save without dropping you to the dashboard to select your storage device... why do so many games do that? How likely is it that you've yanked the hard drive off in between saves? I find it really takes you out of the game when they do that.

Don't really mind short RPGs. Less filler and fetch quests and more quality is way better. Sure Panzer Dragoon Saga took me 17 hours to complete with all the subquests and it's far and away the best RPG I've ever played.

Wtf.... I'm a shade over 20 hours and I'm still on disc 2... I like to savour every moment though, probably stay in an area longer than I need to!

Melion

Finally bought this today, played it for about 2 hours. Only just got to the mansion at the start. Looking forward to getting in a few hours tonight and tomorrow

Stokolan

Ah tis a great game. I was sick last week so got to get stuck into it. On disc 4 at the moment think ive played about 20+ hours on it alone. just exploring around. Kinda lost where I am in teh story from not following it

Unearthly

I love this game, 7 hours into it. Great storyline, characters and the classic Final Fantasy type battle. So easy to play this for hours and not get bored at all

monkeyfudge

I'll have to get back into it... I found the story gets a little tiresome on disc 4.. but I'd like to see it through...

I found that a bit as well but saw it through till the end. I wanted to do as many sidequests as possible and find all dream locations. All in all I think it took me about 55hrs to complete.

tman

Kind of gave up on it on disc 4 as well, after

getting back to Numara... damn tanks keep owning me

A great game, but it started to get a little tiresome for me so I just put it on the backburner for a while

Xyo

You can get an item that nullifies fire damage makes the tanks a piece of piss.

Caoimhín

Im on disc 4. Ready to storm to the finish but spending some time doing the side quests. That Temple of Enlightenement is a Bit*h.
Quality game this.
Is Lost that bad?

gloobag

Finished it there last week with about 900 achievment points :cool: Beating 'The Immortal One' in the Backyard was very satisfying I must say.

Great game, but story wise I felt the ending was complete ****e and corny as fcuk.

Final Boss was way too easy as well. Completely hosed the baxtard :rolleyes:

RE*AC*TOR

Just started playing this over the weekend (had gotten it from Play Asia a while ago, but had other games to finish first).

About 3/4 hours in, really enjoying it. Stroy is great. Although the powerpoint dream sequences leave a little to be desired.

I just skiped these, I dont think it took away from the game by doing this.
Still, a great game.

I thought they were exceptional. Music was ambient, they were excellently written, use of colour was beautiful. Couldn't have asked for more, and anyone who says video clips would have been better is missing the boat entirely.

If you skipped them, then presumably you don't know what was in them. Thus, don't know what your missing, which I and many others would argue is a lot!!

Zapp Brannigan

Wow skipping the dream sequences? But there's so much story in there, alot of Kaim's development is in these stories.

monkeyfudge

The dream sequences are one of the best things about the game. You're doing yourself a great disservice by skipping them.

Although it can be a bit daunting when you hit a few of them quickly in a row when you're just getting going... but the stories are so well written that they quickly draw you in.

Actually it's Seth's back story that you will miss some very important stuff from if you don't read them.

Maybe i'll sit down for an hour and have a read then. I thought it was just filler..

monkeyfudge

The Seth back story really should have been done in a cinematic flashback as well to some extent... I'd imagine things get a little confusing on the 3rd disc if you've skipped them.
