Whats the longest RPG out there that seems like it takes forever to beat? That isn't an MMO.

The PS1 version of Dragon Quest VII is about 100 hours in a standard playthrough.

Crazy to think, wish I picked it up when I was a kid. I had so much time to play something like that.

Yeah same here, I would love to play this game someday still though. (Heck I still need to play through at least one DQ game in my life...)

The game’s one of my all time favorites.

The 2 remakes take less time. A huge chunk of the time was for grinding for: character levels, job levels, money for equipment. It’s still a lengthy game, but it doesn’t feel as long when you’re constantly going from point a to b as opposed to having to stop everything to grind.
