Final completion time 63:18. And I know there was a whole sub-game I missed out. Ending left one or two things dangling, but was nevertheless most excellent. A real, proper ending to the adventure. Moments of frustration, yes. But in the end no boss actually took me more than two tries, as far as I

I did it! I only went and bleedin’ did it! Thirty-nine minutes it took. All my skill, all my cunning. Items and abilities and spells and attacks. Omniheal! Kerplunk! Sage’s stone! Oomph! Kabuff! I was magnificent. Oh man, there’s not many feelings like seeing that bastard (who looked a lot like me, disturbingly) go down.

Six minutes. That’s how long he took to kill me. I barely scratched the bastard. I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it, either. His attacks are too powerful. If I play a purely defensive game without trying to hurt him I’d still die. He just throws more damage around than I can

Fifty-nine hours. I’m really not enjoying it any more. I’ve got to the last boss – well, so I assume – and I’ve not been able to kill him. I guess he’s got multiple forms, as these bosses generally do, but I hope he hasn’t because I’ve not been able to kill the first yet.

Fifty-four hours. Things are coming closer to a close, I believe. Not there yet, though. I must say, the story is a lot more compelling and a lot more, well, more like a story than at the beginning of the game. Only one boss this evening. He didn’t seem to difficult, but with a few

Got past that boss. Took a couple of attempts, but I got there. Totally ignored what the boss tips in the FAQ suggested, as the strategy put forward there just seems impossible. I don’t know how often the boss used the status-cancelling ice attack when they played, but it used it every other turn or

Fifty hours now. No, still not done. Not by a long way, I don’t think. I got to a boss who slaughtered me in about six turns. Ouch. I assumed it was a battle I was meant to lose, you know, they happen in RPGs now and again. But it wasn’t. Somehow I was meant

Hmm. I didn’t think this worked off the hard drive, but someone on a forum said it did, so I copied it and it does. Hooray for even shorter load times! Putting the disc back in its case I found the FFXII demo, which I’d completely forgotten about. I’ll have to try that sometime. Anyway,

Forty hours in. Still so no sign of it coming to an end. Nowhere close. Didn’t help myself by getting stuck in one spot for well over an hour earlier. I thought I was missing an obvious solution to a puzzle and when I found it I assumed I’d kick myself. Instead, I felt like
