woah! Didn't see that coming haha.

I'm about halfway to you now. Level 7's.

I've actually thought about spinning up Skyrim myself since you've started. I put in a couple hours when it came out and haven't really touched it since.

Before I go to bed tonight I plan on having more hours in on the PC version since I picked it up yesterday than I did for the entire month I was playing the game on the 360 (which was off and on for about 12 hours total).

[noiseredux]

so I loaded up SMT IV at around 8:30 last night. Thought I'd just finish up the quest I was on. Then around 9 I figured I'd probably stop at 9:30. Then around 9:30 -- woah, what happened? All the sudden it was past 10!

This game really has that ability to make you lose track of time. It incorporates a certain addictive-quality that I found in PSO but combines it with turn based battles which I far prefer in my RPG's. And there's just so much in this game to keep you compelled - be it the demon-scouting, demon-fusing or just grinding and finding loot. I can't think of another game where I've ever been so pleased with myself for buying a helmet. Haha. There's something awesome about seeing your character's appearance change as you play and get new equipment...

Anyway, I just finished the quest where you gotta

save Navarre from that female demon. This battle was actually easier than I thought it would be going into it - as it felt like the first real "boss battle" to me.

Hit the level cap. Guess from here on out it's just trying to make the best demons I can. Certainly could use some improvement as I only have a couple in the 90's with me.

Fighting angels currently. I think I'll be done with this dungeon pretty soon?

I have nothing really great to say, except this was the game that made me decide I had to buy a 3DS last March. So I did, and then I bought SMTIV zero day in the USA. It will be a while before I play it though, but I hope all you folks have a blast with it.

Finished the game. Good stuff. Honestly, I don't know that the ending was as satisfying as I had hoped for. But it was a decent ending. Really makes me want to go back and actually play Nocturne all the way through. And I still need to play Strange Journey. But for now, Dragon's Crown. And perhaps Xillia.

Finished the game. Good stuff.

I'm afraid to ask...how many hours?

Shorter than I was expecting, to be honest. 63 hours including the (probably) unnecessary grinding I did. I got to lvl99 in the second to last dungeon. Did about 98% of the challenge quests. I only missed a couple of those.

I expected 80+.

[MrPopo]

Also finished, also spent the same amount of time. MC was about 350 magic by the end, which made Concentrate + any spell into a tactical nuke. In fact, I found I was doing the most damage with the multi-hit stuff, due to how the damage bonus gets applied. Now my 3DS will shift back to Project X Zone, but Dragon's Crown is how I'll spend the next few days until the family comes to town.
