I saw that a while ago. That's phenomenal - if I never saw my wife, or did anything else, I think I could manage 2-3 hours a day on average. That would still take me, optimistically, 9 months to finish.

The whole time, never playing another game... Wow.

My god. That is just ridiculous. To be honest, he needs to sort his life out.

I am a huge fan of the series....but is the game worth buying for playing on my 3DS? I doubt, because the graphics don't look too good.....

yeah I know I can't play just one game like that I would get sick of it.

Yeah I agree.

I haven't tried it on the 3DS yet, I will try it out later on today and will get back to you on that.

God for him, but there is no way I could play just one game like that.

Thank you, but i don't mind the difference on the 2 machines....i just wonder, is it worth buying? Because it is still a very expensive game! And how's the online stuff....can you send messages, or chat?

Local multiplayer only.

Thanks turtlelink.....damn....i don't have local DS friends.........

Its still a fun JRPG by yourself. Plenty of customization and such.

I had a few free minutes before going to work and I popped in DQ 9 card into the 3DS and it looks fine for me. I don't see much difference between the 3DS and my DSi.

Now that I put that in, going to keep it in for a while and play it over the weekend.

Wow I have had the game for a year and I have only played about 70 hours. My friend who got the game a few months after me has clocked about 250 hours last I saw him. My little time playing this awesome game is due to the fact that I bough 3 more Dragon Quest games before the end of summer 2010.

I have about 100 hours on my copy, and have done everything I care to do. Fun, but I cannot imagine playing 700 hours of this game. o.0
But still, whatever floats your boat, I suppose :3

Never spent more than 70 hours on a game, and even then, I'm not sure I did this score ^^ Well, I still intend to play at least 30 hours on Solatorobo to get 100%, but that will be all (DL Quest not included ^^)

Pfft, that's got nothing on Monster Hunter Tri.

Tetris DX lasts wayy longer than this game.

i had 1200 hours on monster hunter freedom unite
and 700 hours on pokemon emerald

That's an big achievement, but collecting every item sounds like a boring thing to do.

He's a game developer, game developers need to, you know, PLAY games sometimes. If he learned stuff from it and enjoyed himself then there's no problem.
