i would say that final fantasy x is the longest game ever to complete(not only storyline but also defeating all dark aeons and pennance). and the truth is.....it takes ages.

any objections??? do u think there is a harder game??

Because FF8 is a hugely disappointing RPG and probably the worst in the series? ....... Oh wait you've written more :-D

There is tons to still do though in Disgaea, getting your legendary items up to level 100 making your characters a master in every class (That will take over 1000 hours) just because you can't be bothered to max out characters stats and stuff doesn't mean others won't

Because you like to level up, you said that in order to level up and beat the last optional boss you need 200 hours, so most people will stop after beating it.

If you play blitzball and beat all optional bosses then it'll be 200 hours +

When I was playing FF8 I stopped at level 94 and didn't even bother leveling up to level 100, do you know why? Because at that point I had already finished all the side quests and beaten all the optional bosses. Leveling up aimlessly is meaningless, if there is nothing more to do in the game which is new, then it counts as "finished at that point"

Thing is, both FFX and Disgaea are on the opposite ends of the RPG spectrum IMO.

If you wanna progress in Disgaea, you'll have to put the hours in. Somehow, I don't think 200+ hours are required to actually beat FFX.

In anycase, the subject title is completely subjective IMO. I have put in excess of 100 hours on Pro Evo 3, so to me, that's the longest game I've probably played.

A game is only as long as the amount of time you put into it.

What are you on about i've said i've put over 800 hours into it while i have. I didn't even bother fighting Prinny Baal until at least 650 hours into it. The game itself is infinite as you can just keep levelling and levelling seeing as there is no visible cap. So hush

Yes i did and the words FFX and hard do not go together. After you've played and finished the likes of Unlimited Saga, FFX and it's crappy cash in of a sequel are like childs play

didn't you fight neslug, ultima buster, or nemesis? Also The Dark Magus sisters are 3 alltogether, so that counts as much more than 5million, did you beat them ?
