Rockrman this game is really different after you get past level 70th too.. You have to have the right augments equipped and using on members to gain the max stats. But once you have them everyone becomes really nice.. "Can't do it until the third playthrough but you must put the augments on the right people throughout.. If you want max that is,"

I know as much about this game as I do FFVII...

It is an easy fight.. Kill two of each and then kill off the last of them.. Then I think it won't combine into a big one.. Your levels are too high to be having problems with them...

before it blows up make edward hide... i guess

hi guys im not new to FF but i am to FFIV is this game long?
i was hoping i made a good buy in a long game.
also this game is awesome so far i just beat the orange octopus (got it yesterday) and am on my way to the antlion cave.

Well, it really depends on how fast you're able to progress through the storyline. If you play the game a lot and have good party members, you would probably go through pretty fast. It's a bit more difficult than other FF games, so that slows it down a bit. Don't let any of that stop you from playing though, it's a great game.

yeah it is a great game i love the battle theme when your fighting a boss i always tap my feet to it.
like on average how many hours of gameplay does it have?
you could compare it to FFX since thats the one ive played and remember most.

Yeah, the songs are awesome. I always listen to the song player. As for the average, I'm not sure, but it's probably 45-50 hours on average. I'll look it up when I have more time.

thats awesome.
how do you get the music player?

You've met Namingway right? Well, you'll keep finding him in different places and he'll keep changing his name. He becomes Jammingway eventually, and after he decides to change his name again, he'll give you the music player. Just visit Fat Chocobo in the Chocobo Woods and select the music player. Sorry, I forgot when he becomes Jammingway and where to find him. You'll find him at some point though, since he's usually in places that you have to go to in order to progress in the storyline.
