Having just watched about 30 hours of JPs streaming it, I must say, 12 days is too long. The fact of the matter is, I wasn't even spoiling much of the plot in that entire 30 hours, because, at the end just before he went to bed, an NPC announced "NOW THE TUTORIAL IS OVER, TIME TO START THE GAME LOL". Not to mention that, even in that first part, there are at least 7 different branching paths (discovered so far, very likely many more) to arrive at that point. So, the guy who is about the leader in progress in the game who made a post on 2ch and said "I'm about 60 hours in, just hit the 1/4 mark" is probably spot on. It's been out for what, a week now? And nobody has beaten it, or is even close to beating it.
Also, the stream I was watching had a high dex build, and YOUR MOVESET CHANGES DRASTICALLY based on your dex and poise. He was doing backflips, cartwheels and all sorts of ninja pomegranate, because he had set his Poise stat extremely low. He was dancing circles around everything, it made me cry tears of happy blood. I won't spoil any of the bosses, even though there are so many it probably wouldn't matter anyway, but, my god, they make Demon Souls' bosses look like sick jokes. Many times you are attacked by 2-3 False King Allant level bosses at once, with no NPC backup, AND a couple of them actually eat the souls of their comrades and go super mode when they are the last standing, leading to potentially impossible fights based on which ones you decided to kill first. Just before the stream guy went to bed, he reached the thing from the trailer that looks like the queen crystal lizard, that was the most incredibly one sided battle I've ever seen.
EACH DAY FEELS LIKE MONTHS, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME FROM SOFTWARE?
