How long does FF7 Take...
 

How long does FF7 take(on average) to beat the game.... Im allready on disk two (just beat Jenova-Alive with ease) and I have only played 20 hrs.... so how long does the whole game take? Is cd-3 big?

It depends on how far you want to go in the game. If you just want to go through the story and not really go beyond the necessary path, then it's probably between 30 and 40 hours. If you want to get every last item, Limit Break, Materia, armor piece and weapon it takes substantially longer. Maybe between 50 and 70 hours. Possibly longer.

Hmmm... Taco, I really don't think this thread is any useful to any of us... so next time, please don't make these kind of threads... cuz this is kinda common sense, it could take FOREVER to beat it cuz u might just lvl and walk around and get items and crap, you might not even choose to beat the game until you are like DEAD lol, so ya...

Well, im talking about the story line, not going back and lvling and getting shit... (I currently have most of the shit)

Ok... I'm not sure what you mean by, "I currently have most of the shit"

He thinks he has most of the weapons, armor, materia etc.

Well, I mean that im using the guide, and IM getting every item there is on my way... so WITH getting everything...

Oh, okay. Well, if you're just going straight through without doing any of the sidequests (Wutai, Chocobo Raising, killing all the Weapons, etc.) then I'd say you're looking at maybe 40 hours. If you want to get ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in the game, then you're looking at possibly more than 70 hours.

I would want to get EVERYTHING in the game because...
#1 Thats what I always do in all the FF games... I get all the things that I could get... but if its too hard for me to do the side quest... well then I just quit for awhile and let a friend do it or just come back to it later on...

hmm I only have one reason? lol, gotta think abit more.

Well, after getting EVERY item (which is impossible to figure on your own without having some kind of guide), beating both the weapons, lvling everyone to 99's, finding all the break limits, participating in most of the mini games to a good extent... I played for over 90 hours, but didn't cross the 100 hour mark...

Titusfied

90 hours... is that suppose to be impressive? or is it just a normal amount of time?

I got ith materia :D

ya ok, there is none ^_^

ith materia? lol isn't that from Diablo II? lol

EDIT: oops, i forgot that its Ith RUNE, not materia lol. But does ITH MATERIA exist anyway?

No, hes just fooling with you. But there are some that don't have a name in the japanese version, they were removed yet left in the game code. Note that only the original jap version and not the international/USA versions didn't have them, seeing as via gameshark you could access the hidden materias. However one of the disabled materia's in the jap version became underwater materia.

...What can I say...? Well, I can say this...



WOW~

Dark_Pheonix, I'm quite suprised that you would think there was ITH materia in FF7. Looks like someone needs to brush up on their ff7 info :D

Well, you should be surprised that I didn't even FINISH the game.

I'm currently looking at your avatar, and then my previous expression that was on my face when I saw that, and comparing them.

right... ANYHOW, I really gotta finish up the game, but the thing is, I'm too lazy to play any other RPG right now. After I beat Kingdom Hearts, I guess I could play abit of those and beat it before the end of the year.

FF7 took me around 3 months to complete when I tried to get everything... getting master materia for every single friggin character takes a fuxin long time. >_<

I never went that nuts on the game. I don't think I got any of the master materia.

I never got nuts into the game in the first place... after i've played all the FF games once... I just didn't feel like playing FF7... cuz I got bored of the RPG system right now... oh well, its going to have to come back to me.

man chocobo raising was 1 of the greatest sidequests ever. i had like an ultra gold 1 or whatever he beat all the raves on top.

that looked pretty good sidequest... but whats up with all the different colors? Do they have like different abilities just like the chocobos in FF9?

as fast as it wants to be

Yeah, Phoenix. The light blue ones can cross shallow water, the green ones can cross mountains, the dark blue ones can walk in the ocean, and the gold ones can do all of the above.

thats the exact same as FF9 except that they dont have GREEN chocobo in FF9.

If you wanna get to level 100 with every character, you'll probably outrun the game clock. And if you want to beat the Weapons, Rudy and Emerald, expect to be playing for a very long time. But you can run through and fuck shit up in 35 hours or so.

And they didn't have a RED chocobo in FF7.

I have played Final Fantasy 637 hours on my Personal Computer (PC) I have the save game on floppy somehwere :-) I duplicated the materia Knights of Round exacttly 78 times. As you can tell, i was a complete addict to FF7.

huh? FF7 was on Computer? Hum... come to think of it... I remember seeing it on comp when I was like 7 years old... but I'm not sure. Since you say that you have the game on the comp well, can't argue with ya there :P

ya its out for comp, i saw one a couple years ago

That's tight. But did you beat the Weapons? Emerald and Ruby. If you didn't beat them, then you have yet to milk the game.

What's the deal with the Weapons? Are Emerald and Ruby like Godly hard? Or is it another like Omega and Ultima Weapon but with different looks and name...

Ruby weapon is painfully hard because the strategy you need to use is a little weird. Emerald Weapon is certainly tough, but all you have to do is have the Underwater Materia, have your characters at an insanely high level, and do the old "Knights Of The Round/Mimic" trick over and over and over.

hey, from what I'm hearing about those 2 weapons from you, I'd say that Ruby is practically Omega and Emerald practically an Ultima.

Yeah, that's a fairly good analogy. I would say the two FF8 weapons are much harder than those two FF7 weapons, though.

o, well Ultima and Omega... if you really wanna know... it can be easy as hell... you would first get Squall attacked till he gets in low HP status, and then cast Holy War or a Hero per character and unleash large amounts of limit breaks and they'll go down easily.

Yeah, I actually forgot about Holy War. I hated that spell. It made everything too damn easy.
