I'm somewhere around 20 hours into Skies of Arcadia and I'm still on the first disc So, it must be pretty long. Right now I'm playing Skies of Arcadia for DC, Mother 3 for GBA, DQM:Joker for DS, and Twilight Princess for Wii.xraydash wrote:I'm playing Skies of Arcadia (DC) right now. Got it in January using an amazon gift card that I got for xmas, played for about four hours, and then set it aside after getting distracted by KOTOR. Picked it up again a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying it. (Not that I didn't before. Star Wars simply trumps all!) It's such a beautiful game. Anyone have an estimate for how long it takes? I tend to do most side quests in games like this. I'm guessing it's pretty lengthy.
What RPG are you playing right now?

Two of my favorites right there. Though I've only played the Gamecube version of SOA. KOTOR is a masterpiece and SOA has more genuine charm than 90% of the japanese rpgs out there. Reminded me of the original Grandia for that reason(which is still the best Grandia game).
No rpg playing for me. No time, but I have one or two items I still need to get in FF12 whenever I can get around to it like the Grand Helm and Grand Armor I believe, than I'll probably stay away from rpgs until whenever I can get a PS 3 and Final Fantasy 13
SOA i took at least 50 hours on dc gotta have vmu so you can find some material to make weapons with i think its been a long long while
i've been jumping around soooo i've been hitting in no paticular order

I just finished FF7. And, although I have several complaints, it still holds up well. Not quite as magical as when I played it in '97, but still a damned good game.
I've been on the fence between my next RPG choice for a while. It's been between Earthbound and Chrono Cross. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't move diagonally with my PC gamepad on Earthbound, so I've chosen Chrono Cross for now. (With the hope that Earthbound will be released on the Virtual Console soon - as the rumors are pointing to.)
Having played through Chrono Trigger many times, I've got (unrealistically) high expectations. My initial impressions are good so far. The battle system seems pretty cool, and the graphics are leaps and bounds ahead of the super-deformed characters of FF7.

Currently i'm re-playing Silver on the Dreamcast for the first time in 8 years and i'm pleased to say that the game has held up quite admirably, the graphics look quite dated but never to the point where it becomes detrimental to your enjoyment of the game. The DC port does have a few problems though, commanding your AI companions for one, so I might see if I can hunt down the superior PC original.
Just got done re-playing Valkyrie Profile 2 again, and after i'm finished with Silver I fancy going back to Skies of Arcadia (if I can stomache the random battle hell).
