lukecharmander Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Seriously. SO much time involved. More than any sane person can devote, surely? I was anticipating a "watch this paint dry" 50G achievement towards the end. I mean, I loved the game, but seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslux Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 And thats why the people with 1k take pride in it. why post a new thread about a cheevo thats the toughest in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocrage Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The average it seems is 80-100 hours to get all of the achievements and that takes you through everything the game has to offer, which is not very long relatively speaking. Imagine trying to do a "perfect" file. Max Crystarium and CP, all missions 5*, all equips * inc. all 36 ultimate weapons, max gil, all items 99, all codex entries and bestiary entries full... I only bring that up to see your reaction if you think ~100 hours is "insane". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanmato88 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Pfft. Perfect files are easy. Mine on Final Fantasy VII only took me around from around 12 years. Lol I got sick of the grind on Final Fantasy VII after about 3 years. On Topic: Surely if you enjoy the game you will go for the 1000, because I for one play the games for enjoyment, achievements are a bonus plus I also like the challenge of going for them, and before you say that it's not a challenge because they are relatively easy to get its an endurance challenge. It took me 101 hours and I enjoyed them, some were frustrating but knowing how long it took, if I hadn't already 1000'd, I would still go for the 1000 in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiiguel Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well if you think 100 hours is too much for a game, you should stay out of jrpgs. Personaly I love it, and I can't get enough it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelgadissan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Seriously, 100 hours isn't bad at all for a game like this. I suggest you stay away from the game I speak of in my signature, as I've been at it for at least 250 with no less than 50 to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i love anime Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 if you think 100 hours is long, then have fun getting to 10th prestige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blee717 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I enjoy playing the game for 100+ hours to learn almost every inch of the game as opposed to playing the game for 10 hours only for the achievements. cough* Splinter Cell Conviction cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only bring that up to see your reaction if you think ~100 hours is "insane". In all fairness, you need to max out your Crystarium and five star all missions to get some of the achievements, which is what he's complaining about. I would never go so far as to max out my Gil and items to 99 in-stock, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, however, in a normal play-through wouldn't you max your characters and 5* the missions even if there were no achievements involved? I mean, who plays a RPG without maxing out there characters out in a normal run? Maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKaoSI pSycHo Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 if you think 100 hours is long, then have fun getting to 10th prestige. xD but you got to admit theres a lot more fun in running around killing, then gil grinding for ages and not getting anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberian Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I look at it this way, it could be worse. It could be like Lost Odyssey (a favourite of mine this gen) and have a stupid achievement like... "collect every single item in the entire game", by comparrison, i think Treasure Hunter achievement from FFXIII is still easier, even though its incredibly time consuming. The rest of the FFXIII achievements aren't nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Yamikage Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I didn't thought 100 hours was that bad, considering that there are few achievements that may require hundreds of hours (Vet Achievement for GoW2, or Wanted for GTA:IV). It was very fun playing, thank God, but it can be quite frustrating from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokilicious Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 if you think 100 hours is long, then have fun getting to 10th prestige. 10th prestige doesn't even take AN HOUR. Just wait for a pipsqueak to send you a message saying he's hosting a 10th prestige lobby and give him 1600 microsoft points or 3 months of xbox live and you're set! HOORAY!

I remember how I was with Final Fantasy X; I maxed out every physically possible aspect of my sphere grid before the second fight with Seymour.

JSusie Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I had fun with this 1000. Even the turtle farming wasn't all that bad. I'm all about games with very few missable items. I really hate having to go back to a guide every 5 minutes to make sure I didn't miss anything (Dante's Inferno comes to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I wish I'm that far. I'm @ 80 hours and only got 720 G. That's not fair. Need to speed up things. But RESPECT so far to those you already god 1000 G in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explodius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It only takes about a month if you play 3 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixi Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I had fun with this 1000. Even the turtle farming wasn't all that bad. Same here. I quite enjoyed working my way to 1000GS. It was certainly nowhere near as bad as, say, Star Ocean hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidac Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Same here. I quite enjoyed working my way to 1000GS. It was certainly nowhere near as bad as, say, Star Ocean hehe. i would say so. the ach on this are quite do-able - not like in star ocean (esp. the battletrophies) and here i got my 1000 in slightly over 100 hours (101,34,17) in star ocean i'm at 150 hours and dont have the 1000 in sight.... (star ocean is not a bad game ... its just timeconsuming as non other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSUS Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 it took me 100h to get 1000. 45h to finsh the game the rest was running from one mission to another and of course farming farming farming farming. seriously the most anoying achievement was Treasure Hunter.

PointPlaceWI Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 lol now that's dedication forget 100 hours Dedication and horrible grammar. Anyhow you should try getting 1000g for Forza 3 without simulating a single race in the entire game. Or you could just go get 1000g for the other Final Fantasy game on the 360... That one is a lot shorter to get 1000g then this one 'fursure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
