lol, i’m not saying i don’t enjoy games that are long. I’m just saying when a game is short it means I can move on to the next game quicker.

Funny when I finished DQVIII though. It’s like… I couldn’t believe that it was over. By that point it just didn’t seem like I would ever not be playing that game. And even after that many hours I’d say its among my favorite JRPGs.

As i get older I’m finding that I embrace shorter games more since it allows me time to play more games.

I will agree with you there, Ben. I prefer a shorter, very tight experience to a super long, boring game that I will likely never bother finishing.

Nice review. I do have to disagree about the playtime being a downside. I spent around 8-10 hours playing through the story and doing some side missions. I took it at a relaxed pace so I could enjoy the music and the great world design, and enjoyed every minute of it. I think that as a reviewer and a heavy game player it is easy to get sucked into “must complete this game” mode and never stop to smell the roses.

Personally, I’d rather pay $60 for a great 10 hour experience than the same for a mediocre 40 hours. Or, more realistically, if I wasn’t a big Tim Schafer fan and wanted to watch my budget, I would pay $30 in 6 months to pick it up used.

While I’m not as stoked about it as I once was, I would still like to play it for the writing. When can I borrow your copy, Luke?
