I spent a lot of time trying to get rare items in the Gold Saucer as well, and I spent many hours playing the submarine game. And I remember this because I was on my summer vacation so I really had nothing better to do. I was that obsessed with VII. >.<

Well 1st it depends how hard or easy the game is. I think it would take me about 1 year and 3 months. If it was easy maybe about 8months. But I always loose interest in the game when I get to a part I cant beat. I try to beat it like 7 times and can't beat it then I will say ok I'm done with this for a while I cant beat it. So I am the sorta person who likes to beat something easy if I cant beat a part of the game in like 7 tries I am done with the game for a while, so I guess you can call me a quitter lol. And for right now I haven't even beaten a game it always gets too hard for me.

It can take me forever to complete a game. D: I usually have a period of about a week where I'll be fixed on that game and play it all the time, but then after that I'll stop playing it for whatever reason and not pick it up again for a few months, even year. >> And usually when I do I'll just start from the beginning again, thus restarting the cycle.

It really depends on which games. Usually on an FF game, I go more than 100 hours for each(except X-2 which i finished in 3). I spend alot of time doing side-quests and level-ups until I get really bored and fed. That's the only time I got to the final boss.

It usually takes me about a week to get through most games, and some take less, while some may take more.

Super Mario Galaxy took me a while, and that was just to get 60 stars to beat the end of the game, I still do not near have all 120 stars.

I'm truly a Super Smash Bros. fanatic though, I have over 1100 hours of Power Time on Melee, and almost 500 hours of Power Time on Brawl.

It doesn't take me that long. It all depends on the game itself, if I'm either enjoying it or just messing around with it!

For example: Kingdom Hearts took me about like a week to finish because that game was so easy to beat while Final Fantasy took me a couple weeks or months because I had to like train to battle a tough boss.

All the other games I do play! I'm pretty quick... So I can say I'm quick at beating games =D

If i do get a chance to put my heart unto it, it'll be just within a week (Not even reaching the 7th day to boot)
However, if i do not take enough interest in it, you can count on a year.. (Cos' i would have most probably forgotten the game, ha ha)

Well it depends on the game length and if I liked the game or not, I usually beat games in 2 days to 5 days maximum however FFVII took me 15 days to complete everything in it. D:

It depends on how attached I become to it and how long it lasts itself.If it's RPG it'll take probably 1 month with the level ups,otherwise if it's Action game I'll finish it within a week or 10 days.

I beat Crisis Core within 3-5 days...so I found it to be a short title (hard or normal, you get the same ending). Most games I can beat within 3 weeks with the exception of genre (rpg's are usually the longer titles to beat). I also take into consideration if the title would be worth replaying a second time around (most games don't have New Game +, or anything of that matter).
