I've been playing Tales of the Abyss for around 190hrs now, and I still feel like playing some more! I haven't clocked so much hours since Final Fantasy Tactics Disgaea 2 and Front Mission 3, and this was the first time that I've played an RPG for that long! Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea 2 and Front Mission 3 are strategy RPGs so they naturally take long and quite addicting, but I've never had this kind of feat before in any other RPG I've played. ;D Anyway, I finished my first playthrough with 4000 grade, enough to retain AD skills, some small 10grade stuff, 2x Experience and Overlimit up, which I thought was a lot . ...until I've finished my second playthrough and had a look at my completion file's grade shop and BOOM! 10,000+ grade!! Enough for everything and still having a bit of excess grade (400). Playing the whole game in Hard and beyond definitely pays off! Looks like I will complete the optional stuff up to 100% (last playthrough I probably completed around 96%) this time in the third playthough. I should also set the difficutly to Unknown to balance the game (due to 10x exp). I won't be able to play my younger bro's FFXII just yet, seeing that I still feel like playing TotA some more

; That's crazy xD I finished my first play through with 3700, and basically what I got was 10x Exp and a few mall other things... xD And currently I'm chickening out in my second play through and only going through 'Very Hard' instead of Unknown... xP

Purchasing the grade thing and the faster overlimit gauge, then playing it in hard/very hard difficulty definitely payed off... big time! Combos & Mystic Artes overuse made my grade go up at a fast, fast rate ;D

I clocked in around 80hrs due to me having fun beating up random enemies so I guess it got that big from playing long
