How in the world would such a pleasant Yakra get expunged from. . . anything?!I can't picture you doing anything to warrant such reprisal. (turns out ALoY Yakra is an act, and she is actually a villanous devil! ) Mweh heh heh heh~! *evil?!* *kicked* X'D But... basically... The game's English servers shut down. So it wasn't just Yakra... EVERYONE who played the game in English was expunged. RIP, Ys Online. We hardly knew ye! ...And I didn't know ye at all, really. -Tom Oui! That! Well, actually, after that I jumped to the Japanese servers with MP83 and Red Hairdo. X'D But when they placed an IP block on all who did not reside in Japan.... *time wasting career came to an end* Speaking of FFXII though - I didn't even get all the monsters! I never managed to kill the other two agonizing bosses after Yiazmat. X'D He was so bad enough already that..... *had heart attacks at the mere thought of challenging the others!* :'D I can easily see how I managed to rack up that much time in FFXII though. I'm just... plain... slow. X'D I kind of realized and remembered this while glancing at the total time played while saving in Tactics Ogre right now. I'm already up to 225 hours, and I haven't even finished a single route! I wonder how HJ could have been so speedy?! :'< (It's all Deneb's fault, I say!)

On a single playthrough? I guess it'd be Persona 4 at 56 hours exactly. I'd replay the game.

Wark. Found it. To get this, I had to plug in another memory card into slot 2. The funny thing was that I had my Beatmania controller hooked up in port 1 and couldn't move the cursor to the second memory card for the life of me. ^^; Is there a way to do that? ^^ I was hitting all the keys and spinning the turntable both ways and it simply wouldn't budge. The only thing I didn't try were the Select and Start buttons because I figured they were mapped to the same buttons as on the DualShock 2.

In order to identify itself to the console as a beatmania controller, 1 or 2 of the directions are hardwired down and not mapped to any of the buttons. This includes Right. Kinda makes it a pain when you're trying to use a IIDX controller for unintended games. Though it still is pretty easy to play Guitar Freaks with it. ^_^

Sora no Kiseki FC (PC version). About 91 hours. It was two computers ago! Runner up is Final Fantasy IX, at about 79 hours. I played the hell out of that game.

I think the longest games I've ever played were Persona 3 and 4. Logged pretty close to 100 hours in each, if not a little more.

I spent about 500 hours on Final Fantasy X. No joke >.> And that was just one playthrough. Spend about 270 on my second playthrough <_< Took a lot shorter because I actually knew what I was doing with the optional stuff that time around.

No MMOs? Good. Since I don't even want to think about how many days and months of my life I have wasted for that particular piece of shit mmo (and still wasting my time on it). A lot, thats for sure - too much in fact.
Single playtrough eh? Finishing one season in NHL counts as a single playtrough? I played with multiple teams back in the days of NHL99 - 10-20min periods.. So I guess whole season took from one to few hundred hours..
And what about Pokemon? If we count it 'finished' after beating elite four and getting Hall of Fame, then my Pokemon Red time is only some 200 hours.. Game clock reached the max time 255 hours soon after Hall of Fame, and I played a lot after that too. So I guess the total time is around 300-400 hours.
TES III Morrowind goes for 300+ hours too.
Tales of series games: Vesperia clocked some 100 hours and Symphonia around 200 hours.

Er... probably Pokemon Pearl, although I never did finish the Pokedex like I planned to. I got 300+ on it, at least.

Probably Dragon Warrior(Quest) VII, something like 130 hours. I didn't even get to the two bonus areas after defeating the demon lord the first time. I know one piece of map required 105 or such tiny medals, of which I searched high and low and got as much as 98, and was kinda not in the mood by the time I thought to look at a FAQ. I do think there might be one in a chest I missed in one area's past that you cannot return to after the story there (required a magic carpet item that poofs afterwards). Either way, DQ VII is one of those games fun for the first play through (100% complete or not) but not a game I'd be in the mood to play again for a VERY long time. Too much back and forth guesswork craziness + transition fmv for EVERY time leap on PSX load times probably made for a bulk of the playtime, more so than even the grinding for me. Technically, I think my copy of final fantasy tactics advance has a save with well over 200 hours on it, though I had/have a habit of leaving a game on for some periods when I'm not actually playing, but planning on coming back soon (food, short errand, etc). I know that all of the hours on ffta do not represent actual playtime. I actually enjoyed ffta, nothing stellar, but it made for a fun portable srpg for some time. I actually could never get into Final Fantasy Tactics, the game had me bored and not caring before even the first non intro/tutorial map ended. I made better headway on the GBA Tactics Ogre, though I still didn't play too far in, certainly not anywhere near as far in as ffta. Of course, Square games (yes the in house developed ones) have typically never done anything for me, and there are so many "legendary greats" that I have yet to muster up the interest to pick up and actually play past 10 or so hours in tops. A lot of this is likely due to all the unnecessary hype square games tend to get that no game could ever possibly hope of dreaming of potentially living up to. I remember playing to the end of disc one of Final Fantasy VII, starting the second disc, finding myself in those snowy mountains and just not caring anymore. The will or interest to play any further died entirely. Maybe it was the realization that somehow, some people felt that Aeries had enough character, personality, or meaning to cry at that fmv, that killed my hopes for things to get much better later in game. Funnily enough, I later found out a friend had the exact same experience. XD An OCD habit of mine is also excessive saving, even if anything was done or not at points. This is/was especially true in the past and on portables with AA battery power only. I think Pokémon Red is responsible for creating that habit... Otherwise I tend to not get long playtimes in due to what I like as "chain gaming". For games that do get long playtimes, I have this issue: kotaku.com/?_escaped_fragment_=5705281/
