i just beat tales of symphonia last week; i was level 75, i fought 2326 battles, and it took me 72 hours. still hasn't eclisped by xenogears record (level 80, 73 hours).
before that, i played through all 3 devil may cry games, played about 100 hours of disgaea 2 before i put it away, and i played dragon quest viii (2200 battles exactly; everyone level 70, took EXACTLY 60 hours). sometime in there, i finally beat raiden iii, r-type final, and ikaruga.
currently, i'm playing through skies of arcadia legends. then, i'll probably go back to disgaea 2. then, valkyrie profyle, star ocean: till the end of time, and vagrant story. hopefully, some day, i'll finally get around to earthbound and secret of mana-beating. and i still haven't even bought twilight princess yet, but i will. i also have all the metroid prime games sitting around that i need to beat. jesus.
