I can't believe people actually played for 18hrs straight to beat it. After 15mins, I would have found something better to do.

FF5 and 6 were awesome (FF3 in the US) 7 and 8 were pretty good, its been downhill since then... I remember playing FFA and FFL on the gameboy, boy were they poorly translated.

I've heard of this. This is known in the game industry as the "unbeatable boss". Forums reported it is beatable but it takes 18 hrs. Actually, after 18 hrs, they still didn't beat it. The original came out in 2003. The expansion pack came out in 2007. These folks wasted 18+ hours all because a setting in a config file told the boss to be that hard. When that's on my mind, I'd stop the game. http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/688158/Final_Fantasy_XI_18_Hour_Boss_Fight.html BTW: I played a handful of games and multi-user dungeon (MUDs, basically a role playing game) throughout the night and through the next afternoon before. It was addictive especially if you're progressing. I'd think about the game all week until I get to an impassible point or if it becomes repetitious. I never played against one boss for that long. My record may have been throughout a night but that's it. On a couple of occasions, my character would get deleted by either the admin or if the cartridge gets broken. All the hours and wasted summer days. For nothing. Then I realized a video game something a code writer put together, tested it (maybe) and released it. After a few years, the game becomes completely forgotten. Able to get really far in Phantasy Star? Who cares. They stopped making a Sega Master System almost 2 decades ago. Time you can't get back. I understand wanting to know what the last scene of a game looks like but its just that. A scene whipped together by a bunch of dudes.

I've driven a handful of cars and trucks (SUVs basically a manly version of a mini-van) throughout the night and through the next afternoon before. It was addictive especially if you're speeding. I'd think about my car all week until I get bored or see a car I like more or if it becomes repetitious. I never drove one car for that long. My record may have been throughout a night but that's it.
On a couple of occasions, my car would get totalled by either the telephone pole or if the deer jumps infront of me. All the hours and wasted summer days. For nothing. Then I realized an engineer or something a designer put together, tested it (maybe) and released it. After a few years, the car becomes completely forgotten. Able to go really fast in a DeLorean? Who cares. They stopped making DeLoreans almost 2.5 decades ago. Time you can't get back.
I understand wanting to know what the car tops out at but its just that. A car whipped together by a bunch of dudes. The same could be said about a car. A few substitutions and that opinion you have about games fits the same for cars. But do you find your love for your car trivial and useless?

At least a car is tangible. It provide physical sensations and feelings that can only be invoked by a real object. Plus, it's useful. Games serve no purpose but to entertain, while offering almost nothing fulfilling. Of course, games don't require constant fuel and money outlay, but then keeping a computer updated and paying monthly feeds (WoW) seem to level the playing field.
Anyway, I've had my share of hours wasted playing games, but 18 straight? Daaaaa-yum.
