So much Dragon Quest this year. The 3DS version is enough to get me to finally complete that game. And I'll replay DQ8 as well. And DQ Builders impressed Jeff Gerstmann of all people so it's probably going to be the best of them all.

Man there is so much right about Tokyo Mirage but these side quests/stories/requests are the absolute worst. They are the complete definition of filler but I must have all the costumes/special moves!!!!

The character specific quests lead to funny cutscenes, everything else that's a Warcraft "find X garbage in Y dungeon" or "find specific enemy among similar looking enemies" can go to hell. I seriously hope this stuff doesn't crop its head in Persona 5 but it's a Japanese RPG so I know it will.

Dragon Quest VII has an insanely long intro and a ton of content but outside of that it's not *that* long really unless you're genuinely looking to 100% it. It's still frigging long mind you.

Isn't there an item in Baten Kaitos that takes like a week of in game time to change into another item?

It's still frigging long mind you. My first save had something like 135 hours on it and I didn't touch the postgame stuff. It's a good 12 hours before you get access to the class system and many more before you get any tangible benefit out of it (assuming you don't blunder into the many noob traps, such as the intermediate classes listed in the manual). dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jul 8, 2016 |

i think i skipped 99% of optional quests in persona 3 and 4 because all the rewards were trash items, lovely joke equipment and ugly outfits and they weren't any fun to do nor had any interesting plot going on

100% completed tales of symphonia took me like 600 hours. That may have been largely laziness though because playing lovely minigames, randomly getting figures, and grinding cooking is soulless.

DACK FAYDEN posted:It took me two hours on my first playthrough. It's annoyingly, egregiously, mind-blowingly long, and easily the worst thing about that game, and I hope they fixed it in the 3DS port, but it's not several hours unless you get really turned around or spend lots of time exploring the tiny set of areas available to you. It's probably a combination of being fairly thorough in my explorations and having played the game over 15 years ago, so my memory is a little fuzzy. I just recall it taking an absurdly long time to get to the first battle.

Endorph posted:the longest jrpg is getting all the trophies in tales of vesperia because the bonus condition in the fight with yeager is literally impossible The only one I didn't get was the one where you need to have that item for Estelle because it was in a timed sidequest I had already missed. I actually liked the secret missions in that game even though I don't remember even half of them anymore. ImpAtom posted:I remember 4 being a worse game to 100% but maybe it was just because it had lovely achievements.. All I know is I tried the one where you fight 10,000 battles with a full bonus or whatever it was, got to like 300 and realized how much time I had wasted and never bothered again. It is likely still the reason I don't bother with achievements/trophies in 95% of games.

Many of the sidequests are tedious bullshit and call you out for doing them. One in particular involves this multiweek real time flower breeding scheme that the game barely hints at.
