The Adventure to Date
Posted by Mike Blitz on July 12th, 2007
Three games finished! With the fall of the Cloud of Darkness, I can now check Final Fantasy III off my Final Fantasy List of Things to Do. Before I move on to Final Fantasy IV, I thought I’d make a general update on the quest to play all the Final Fantasy games in Japanese.
Here’s a look at some of the numbers…
Gaming Time
Final Fantasy III: 55 hours, 04 minutes
Previously
Final Fantasy II: 55 hours, 11 minutes
Soul of Rebirth: 9 hours, 47 minutes
Final Fantasy I: 46 hours, 23 minutes
Grand Total to Date: 165 hours, 15 minutes
Final Fantasy III took me seven minutes less time than Final Fantasy II, and about nine hours longer than Final Fantasy I. Of my 55 hours with the game, I’d say about 7 hours were spent with the game on but me not playing it for some reason (sleeping, working, writing, etc.). Total actual gaming time was probably slightly under 48 hours.
The Cheat Record
Final Fantasy III: 1
Final Fantasy II: 2
Finatl Fantasy I: 3
I’m a bit confused how to record the Final Fantasy III cheat total, but I officially only looked for one hint, which had to do with the broken pendant. There were a few times when I looked for hints to find places I’d forgotten the location of, and a couple of times when I looked for information on certain classes. I’d also read a bit about the game in correspondence before I even started it. All in all, though, I’ll give myself a “one” for cheats in this one.

Good call on the amount of cheats. So another well done! I have made my way through the game surprisingly fast, and I have now reached the Forbidden Land of Eureka already, and I feel good about making the final push up the Tower. The strange thing is I think I’ve spent longer on the game then you have and I’m not finished yet!

Chocobo: Good luck on the final push up the Tower! That was a lot of fun. Let us know how it turns out.

Will do, Mike! I might just level up a bit for now, even though my guys seem at an okay level, there Job Levels could use some work

Chocobo: Yeah, Terpkristin is definitely right on target with her comments about how important job levels are. Raising job levels made a huge difference for me.
