Title: Final Fantasy X Game Length...
Post by: tomrob on May 05, 2001, 04:49:36 PM
How long do you think FFX will be? considering many PS2 games being released lately are very short (Starfighter, ZOE, Onimusha). Add to that the difficulty of coding for PS2. I heard that Hideo Kojima said that Metal Gear 2 would be roughly the same length as the original psx game :(

Do you think it will be as long as what FF7 was?

who knows?
Hopefully they would have a brilliant group of people working on the game.

but, IMHO, it isn\'t the time it takes to beat the game your first time through..
but if you can play the game 3-4 times before you get bored of it.

In RPG\'s, I don\'t think it\'s length that counts, but the replayability.

im over 30 hours with FF9 so far, and i havent finished...although im up to the 4th disc

FF7 is the sort of game it would be nearly impossible to beat under 20 hours, and on your first time through if you wanted to take you time and get everything could be 100 hours.

took me about 50 hours for FF7 the first time...i think...although my level was only 30

i dont even know what im talking about anymore.  nyhoo, im sure its a big game

Mbigdo11 - It isn\'t two DVDs it\'s one.  The two DVD version supports HDTV, and higher res cutscenes with better sound quality.  So the basic game package is ... er... well over 10 CDs worth of stuff though (7.95 gigs).

Final Fantasy X is being set-up in an entirely different way then VII was. I expect Square to say the game will be roughly 40-45 hours of game play. Which meens that it will take me almost to 200, atleast for the first time through.

They said that with the exception of a few areas and fights, the camera didn\'t have to resize the characters - that alone will probably save an hour or two...  Then again, if they say it can be finished in 40 hours, it always takes me a minimum of 2x that, cause I like to lvl chars and find all the goodies.  :D

Will FFX come out in 2 DVD´s? really good...

I finished FFVII in about 46 hours... I hope this X has about 50 or 60... without big secrets, mini-games, big weapons... ;)

35 hours!!!! I always muck around heaps and try to get everything. FF7 and FF8 both went over 100 hours for me, and I\'m up to 64 hours on FF9 and i\'ve only just started the 3rd disk!

I have a feeling it will be a tad bit shorter than say Final Fantasy VII with it being the first PS2 outing. Its bound to be long enough for it to be worth purchasing though. This is a Final Fantasy game after all. :)

Yeah length is really dependant on your style of play. I myself like to level characters a bit, and get a lot of stuff, but I try not to do EVERYTHING first time. FF7 took me about 60 hours to complete the first time I think. I played it again, but I kept my original file, and have built that into my ultimate file.... i\'ve easily racked up more than 300 hours on that baby since 1997....

I\'d say FFX will be quite long... they\'d want to make it a big outing being their first PS2 FF.... but really, TOO long just isn\'t a good thing. It\'s not a bad thing, but if FFX had say, between 50 and 100 hours or raw gameplay (yeah.. I know 100 is shooting high), it\'d take me between 100-200 hours to finish, and I really don\'t have that amount of time, that is to say it\'d take me MONTHS and MONTHS to finish..... and it gets irritating when I had study to do for uni, but I still have work to do on a game, takes my attention away.

ah well, let\'s just say I\'ll be happy with it so long as it\'s more than 30 hours raw gameplay... I\'m pretty sure Square is intelligent enough to provide that :)

I think the story will be long, but the world small.

I remember I got Tomb Raider 2 for christmas, and I finished it during the summer. That is one hard game! I must have played that game forever. I remember I played it when I first got it and stopped during feburary and then started it up again in may. GEEZ!!

Well the ps2 is lacking in games that are lenghy(sp).  GT3 won\'t be short..considering you have to race over and over again.  

I doubt FFX will be as long as lets say Xenogears, but I hope its not as short as FF9.

That is a very good point. Making the world smaller, thus lowering development time, but making the storyline massive, with loads to do. Hopefully the world won\'t be too small, cos that would be like having one track in GT3 :)

Yes, but look at Chrono Cross.  That had an incredibly small world, but was still a great game!  Actually I think the world was perfect for that game.  

We\'ll just have to wait and see how it ends up though.  With the trend Squaresoft is taking right now the worlds are on a progressive stage of getting bigger and bigger.  I perspnally hope they continue it onto the PS2.

Does anyone know if ffx will have voice, instead of all the reading? Voice and moveing lips, and bigger characters. thats what I\'m hopeing for.

Longer than ZOE i hope!

Zoe was only like 2 hours... Maye 6 hours the first time you play it.

I hope FFX is more 30-60 hours! :)))

Hate short games!
