It's Pandemonium in Final Fantasy XI

Well.. it's not the length of the fight but the length of the attempt, so I'm not totally blown away.

18 hours is a lot, but I've seen more encounters which took a while to master, be it spread over 3-4 hour nights. Not sure how these go in FFXI, but it's possible for guilds in other games to take this long on certain bosses I guess. I'm more amazed about them lasting 18 hours on their first attempt.

An 18 hour boss fight (1 fight) though.. now that I'd like to see. From a distance. With breaks in between. And possibly a fast forward button.

Recursive -

Sure, AV attempts have lasted days, but that was because of the constant wiping. The fight itself isn't terribly long - he doesn't have a ton of HP.

This fight takes 18+ without wiping being an issue. Big difference.

Well for just getting to know a fight it's not a lot, but what you are saying is that it does take that long, straight, to complete it? This fight alone? Like I said I'm not familiar with the system but eh heh.. I think a 2 hour fight is insane already.

I guess it helps give a boss an epic feel though, bet poor Illidan feels neglected now.

Yeah chief, you're looking at an 18+ hour, straight, fight on just the Pandemonium Warden. No wiping no nothing else... just your party and him going at it for 18 hours because he takes that long and has that much HP.
