Final Fantasy: Lost in Japanese

The Adventure to Date

Posted by Mike Blitz on January 16th, 2007

Two games are now complete! Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II are checked off my Final Fantasy List of Things to Do, and for the first time since the spring of 2006, the Final Fantasy GBA cartridge comes out of my Nintendo DS.

Here’s a look at some of the numbers…

Gaming Time
Final Fantasy II
: 55 hours, 11 minutes
Soul of Rebirth: 9 hours, 47 minutes
Total: 64 hours, 58 minutes

Previously
Final Fantasy I: 46 hours, 23 minutes
Grand Total to Date: 110 hours, 11 minutes

Final Fantasy II took much longer to complete than Final Fantasy I. I fell asleep a couple of times with the DS on, so about ten of those 65 hours were away from the DS.

The Cheat Record
Final Fantasy II: 2
Finatl Fantasy I: 3

I’d have to say that I cheated twice in Final Fantasy II. Once to read some tips on how to beat Astaroth, and once I accidentally read through some information on the general structure of Soul of Rebirth. Still, I’m pretty happy with how much playing these games has improved my Japanese.

    Is that FFIIj? That one is hard! Good job!

    Kelly: Thank you! Yeah, that was Final Fantasy II in Japanese.

    I’m guessing that Final Fantasy III in Japanese is going to be harder, though. I’m afraid that I might get stuck in that one. Some of the comments I’ve been reading make it seem to be incredibly difficult.
