this game gets so much better and better which each new dungeon. I ESPECIALLY loved the atmosphere of the second to last dungeon! I couldn't believe how long this game is either, I mean I heard about it being long but I thought they were just saying that. But no this game is LONG. I just did the straight core game, I didn't take a long time in each area, I just did what I had to do and went on to the next thing and it took me about 60 hours of total gameplay to beat the thing. I can't even imagine how long it would be if you worry about all the sidequests and everything!
