It's 4 discs long. That should explain it. Also, if you're a JRPG fan, you won't get frustrated.

About 50 hours. Radom encounters bothered me a little in a couple of areas but not to much.

It depends on how you play it. If you just play it through sticking to the storyline, it will take about 30 to 40 hours. If you want to complete everything/most in the game, it may take you over 70 hours

I think the game has pretty scarce random encounters compared to most RPG's.

50-60 hours is about right, though. Its long, but for an RPG, it didn't feel that long to me for some reason. I guess I'm usedjust used to 80-100+ hour RPG's now.

I cleared all the Dungeons, and got all the best gear and everyone was level 90-93

My gameclock was like 82hrs.

But you could probably beat it around 50.

Too many hours. I stopped playing once I got to that magically sealed cave after finding my wife or whatnot. TOO MANY RANDOM ENCOUNTERS MAKES ROTTENBERRY GO CRAZY.

I stopped playing at about 24 hours and that's the start of the third disc. Anywhere from 50-80 hours depending if you go for the side-quests.

It's old school. Depending on what you want to do, the game is between 30-80 hours. I myself think this is the best RPG to date this gen. Close second being Tales of Vesperia.

No side quests - took me 45 - 50 hours about.

Completing all side quests - 100+ hours

I'm playing it right now and I have given up reading the dreams after the first few. It takes waaaay to long.

The Side Quests are a lot of fun, and if they had no point I wouldn't have put 80+ hours into the game.

The Point is, The game is fun and addictive. Youll WANT to do the sidequests because the game is good, not because youll feel youll need to.

IMO its the best JRPG this gen, and to be honost, I don't even think FF13 will come close to beating it in terms of Mature Storyline. There are points in Lost Odyssey that make you tear up, Final Fantasy hasn;t done that in MANY MANY titles.

FF13 will probably be a lot better in terms of gameplay, but I dont see how the story will ever top Lost Odyssey.

I think I beat it somewhere between the 40-50 hour mark. It's not a horribly long RPG, at least by my standards that is.

I agree. It's Uber long, but its enjoyable all the way. I kept getting sidetracked, and haven't palyed it for a while now. I was on disc 4 i think...soon after you get the little flying boat thing. I was wandering around getting all the major side quests and totally forgot to finish the game. It's great, I suggest you buy it...it's hugely under-rated imo.

You missed 10x more than you know then. I didn't even fight for EXP at all through the game and I just ended up at level 90 at the end, 0 time wasted, the game has that much content.

Oh I did what I believe was most of the side-quests, reached a pretty decent level and had a lot of money (though I do admit that a big sum of it is from that gambling addict :D)!
