I’ve finished 193 quests and advanced the story even further. I have kicked out my Nu’Mou Sage/Alchemist, and replaced him with Hurdy the Bard (and currently a Black Mage to). He learned geomancy, so he can kick as even at level 37 he’s currently on. Adelle is level 25 and I have decided to turn her in to a Seer. She has already learned a bunch of High Magick abilities but isn’t very useful yet. I also hired a Banga at level 30, and I’m training him every now and then.

Today, I actually looked at the back of the game box, and there it says that there are over 300 quests in the game, so I guess my 68 hours could turn in to about 120 before the game is complete.

EDIT: After finishing another story quest, Adelle has left my clan. She will probably be back, but it still sucks. Anyway, the quest count is now 198, and the auction season started again, so I’m in the middle of that now.

The quest count is now 160. I advanced the story again, but haven’t unlocked any new classes. Luso has mastered the Paladin job and will probably remain a Parivir for the rest of the game. I may train him as a Ninja for a few levels for speed, or as a Paladin for defense. I’m 59 hours in the game, the story is probably about 75% done, and Luso is level 50.

EDIT: The quest count is now 174. Most of my characters are now nearing the end of their builds. I have started training Adelle, so she can replace my Moogle thief. Cid finally caught up with the rest of the team, and I have dismissed some of the weaker clan members, so the average level can be lowered. I will probably end up with my main 6 clan members on high level, and maybe one or two backups. The backups will be one of each race, and they will learn the prerequisites for all of their jobs, so that I can dispatch them on quests when necessary. Luso is now level 53, and the rest of the guys are around 50. Adelle is level 15, so that will be a problem. I’m 63 hours in the game.

EDIT2: The quest count is 178. I have just dismissed all of the characters I have “on the side” and don’t use. They were all low level, so that lowered my average clan level. Now I can recruit high level units from the start. As I said, I will recruit one of each race, and make all of their jobs available. I will mainly use them for dispatch and wanted quests. Cid has mastered the Master Monk job, and has learned all of the available White Monk jobs. Adelle is now level 17. She’s still useless, but not for long. I also unlocked a bunch of new items at the store.

I played it pretty much since I woke up, so I’m taking a break now. The number of quests solved rose up to 143, and I have unlocked the Viking and Trickster jobs. Luso is now level 45, and I have unlocked a bunch of oriental blades at the shop, so he’s back to being a Parivir. I’ll play some more later. Oh, by the way, I have been playing for a total of 53 hours.

EDIT: The quest count is now at 150, and I have advanced the story by two quests. The bard didn’t have any info about my dreams, but he has decided to join my clan. I probably won’t be using him, but it is nice to have a unique character. The auction season started again so I got a bunch of cool new items. I got the Zeus’s Staff, the Master Sword, Genji Armor and a bunch of other high end equipment pieces.

I solved a total of four quests tonight, but one of them was a three part one. Luso is level 44 now, and he has almost mastered the Paladin job. As for the Parivir one, most of the equipment isn’t available jet. I have unlocked sprint shoes in the shop which increase my movement. I’ve also unlocked an Assassin sword that teaches the Ultima Masher ability. My Assassin did 360 points of damage with this one. The problem is it costs 32 MP, so I can’t use it that often.

Today there was a thunderstorm here, so I had to unplug my computer and stop playing Devil May Cry. This allowed me to return to this gem. I can’t believe I haven’t played it for over a week. I did about 7 or 8 quests and advanced the story. I’ve also unlocked the Seer job and learned a bunch of new skills. I’m dumping the Gladiator/ Defender for a Master Monk/ White Monk since that one is one of the main characters (Cid). I’m also thinking about dumping the Moogle thief and replacing him with Adelle. She learned a bunch of nice Parivir and Ninja skills, so she could be more useful. Right now my party is tracking a Moogle Bard that may have some information I need.

Early this morning (a couple of minutes after midnight) I completed about 3 or 4 more quests. This unlocked a bunch of items at the Bazaar, including some class specific robes which allowed me to learn some nice passive abilities. Mostly, I’ve been fighting the undead, with some Duelhorn quests mixed in. My main character learned all of the available Parivir skills, and is now training as a Paladin.

I played it in the morning for a while. I did a few quests, none of them related to the main story. I unlocked a few nice items at the Bazaar including the Masamune. My main character is now level 40 and will soon be switching to the Parivir class. I’m going to train him as a Paladin/Parivir with a Ninja level every now and then for the speed. My Nu’Mou is now an Alchemist/Sage, and that is what he will probably remain as for the rest of the game. I have a Gladiator/Defender Banga, but I’m not sure if I should replace him with a Monk/Master Monk. One of my Vieras will be a Red Mage/Summoner and the other a Sniper/Assassin. I also have a Moogle Thief/Juggler which is there just for stealing and disabling opponents with daggers.

EDIT: I completed a dozen more quests, one of which unlocked the Scholar job. I probably won’t be using it since it’s more a gimmick then a real job. My main character however, finished learning the dual wield ability and is now a Parivir. After learning most of the Parivir skills, I will make him a Paladin to learn that skill set to. My Viera Sniper now has all the prerequisites for the Assassin Job, and has already mastered the two Assassin abilities I had available. She is now a Sniper again. I will probably replace the Assassin skill set with the Archer one when fighting undead, to use the Burial ability.

After completing a few quests, including two that unlocked the Spellsword and Master Monk classes, the Auction season started again. I managed to become Champion for Life in both regions on the new continent. I also got a bunch of extremely nice items, one of them being a Ninja sword that grants the Dual Wield passive ability. I immediately put it on my main character.

I did a few quests today, most of them without battle. I’ve also recruited a Seeq and a Gria. Now I finally have a Ranger to solve the “Wanted: Sidekick” quest. Off course, I dispatched him right away. Nothing else of importance happened.

EDIT: I did a few more quests, most of them non battle types. I did advance the story tough. A bunch of my characters learned a bunch of new skills, and most of them now have their end game jobs (at least one of their end game jobs).

Supreme Commander (PC)

I’ve been playing this mostly today. I only did a few missions in the first campaign, but it took about four hours of my time. I noticed that it’s to just build a small army and use it to protect my engineer group that in turn builds turrets and pushes forward that way, then to only use the troops for offense.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS)

I’ve also played this game for a while again. My main character finally became a ninja, and I have advanced the story further, meeting Vahn and Penelo on the way. I’ve also unlocked the Chocobo Knight class.
