Hoping to make your life's design a bit more dynamic!

Hey, I agree. But when you buy used games, you're not doing that anyway. But there is a better reason, it just feels better owning original copies of RPGs as well. And this game isn't going to go down in value. The problem is, most people feel $70 is just too much for a used game. Which is the reason behind the suggestion. Either way, I'm not going to tell someone how, just that it is possible and easy.

Ave time of the RPG? Atypically I'm hoping its at least 40 hours in content

40 Hours? HAHA! I just checked my save file for you, and I logged in at 127 hours. That's not even completing ALL of the side quests (though I got nearly all of 'em done). Just talking about this game makes me want to go back and play through again. *sigh* If only I had the time...

Well 40 hours (maybe a side quest or two) is a typically an RPG length. Example most FF games I've played give or take w/o doing side quests was less than 40 hours which is considered "short" lol.

60 bucks is alot of cash to shell out for an RPG or any game. The last game I can recall was Skyrim and even taking an arrow to the knee didn't stop me from that game and it was 130 hours in length (maybe 90 w/o side quests)

Actually if you want rare AND expensive (i really wanna buy it but damn the price) check out Haunting Grounds for PS2.

I finished Xenoblade, I think I ended up with 140 hours doing nearly all the sidequests and completing the party links. I really enjoyed the game, its probably my favorite from this generation. I'm now playing Tales of Xillia and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I'm moving at a glacial pace because of work though.

Super glad that you liked Xenoblade. It was probably my most favorite of this generation as well! I'm extremely biased, though, as I tend to pump myself up a lot for anything created by Monolith Soft.

I'm also playing Xillia now, and it's pretty fun. It's a Tales game... They all feel kind of the same, but I knew that before I started it

I just finished Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. I followed the light side path. Even when given the option I pretty much always take the good/moral route. I plan on playing the sequel next.

I'm pretty far into Tales of Xillia too. I don't like it as much as some other Tales games like Abyss, Vesperia and Graces. My greatest dislike is the blandness of many of locations. Many of them look too similar and empty. There are better ways to create barriers than to put stone walls everywhere and not every hidden passage has to be a hole in the ground to crawl through. Perhaps I was just spoiled by the land travel in Xenoblade.

Finished Xillia, and I agree with you 100% about the locations (at least those between towns). Oh, here's another field with some trees and rock walls... Oh, and another one, but this time it's orange! Over and over again.

Overall I liked Graces more... I've heard Xillia 2 is better than its predecessor, though, so fingers crossed!

Until recently, I couldn't understand for the life of me on how Xillia 2 took place in the same world as the first game, but now I finally understand. That being said, the game feels very rushed at the end. I'm not sure if Xillia 2 compensates for this, but it makes me wonder if there will be a Tales of Xillia F along the lines of Tales of Graces F.
