Interesting, I don't keep track of the time I put in on any game but I do count my replays. I usually play to get every little item and skill in the game I can so its usually at least 10-15 hours over the minimum to beat it. This is a rough estimate since I've been playing these games since the early 90's. I know there are others, but I can't recall them right now.
Pokemon Red: I played through this game entirely and collected all the pokemon that were out at the time through some trades. Came close to doing the same on Silver.
Mortal Kombat: I replayed this so much that the last time I played it was on hard, from start to finish as Scorpion, while talking on the phone at the same time. Only took me 15 minutes for that play through.
Super Mario RPG: Played through to end 4 times. I love this quirky little game.
Super Mario 64: I've played this game to get all of the 120 stars twice, not easy to do when you have no patience.
FF4: Never have finished this because I get bored but I've played it through to the moon whale 3 times.
FF5: Have played through to end only once on the remake but haven't finished the optional dungeon. Have begun to play through this game at least 4 times usually getting stalled in the second world. Made it to the third world once before having lost my save and having to replay all the way through again to finally beat it.
FF6: 5 times counting remakes and the original.
FF7: 8 times but have never managed to kill either Ruby or Emerald.
FFTactics: I have played this one at least once a year since its release and once on the psp version so I would say 10 times.
SMT:DDS1: Played through once and two new game +'s. Haven't managed to beat the Archfiend (Hero of Nocturne) yet.
FF8: Played through the entire way only once but I've played to the final dungeon 3 other times.
FF9: Played through entirely 3 times but have never managed to beat Ozma.
FF10: Played through the story at least 3 times but don't have the patience to get those ridiculous stats, also haven't managed to win the chocobo race yet.
FF10-2: Played through to completion twice. New game +'s twice for each play through.
Tales of Destiny: Completely through twice. Halfway through the Tower of Druaga.
Legend of Legaia: Completely through twice. Only lacking the Juggernaut summons due to no patience to level up to lvl 100 with all three characters.
Breath of Fire 1: Played through to end twice and began replays 4 times up until half way through.
Breath of Fire 2: Haven't beaten this one yet since its the hardest rpg I've ever played. Got to the final dungeon 3 times.
Breath of Fire 3: Played through to end 3 times.
Breath of Fire 4: At least twice all the way.
Wild Arms: Played through from start to finish twice. Working through the remake called Code F now.
Wild Arms 2: Played through from start to finish twice.
Parasite Eve: I keep meaning to replay this game through entirely at least once but I keep getting distracted, completed it once but never finished the tower optional dungeon.
Star Ocean 2: Played through to end once as Claude, attempted to play through as Rena but got bored. Haven't beaten it since I accidentally removed the final boss's limiters. I've tried to replay from beginning at least 6 different times and usually get as far as leaving the first continent before I need to delete for room on my save card.
Saga Frontier: I have no idea how many times overall, nearly at least 20 replays through this game.
Chrono Trigger: Played through from scratch 3 times. New game +'s at least 3 times for each play through from scratch.
Chrono Cross: Played through from scratch twice. New game +'s at least twice for each play through.
Xenogears: Played to ending once. Played to final dungeon 3 times.
Xenosaga: Played to end twice, got Erde Kaiser each time.
Star Wars: KOTOR: Played through to end once. Replayed to getting jedi powers at least three times.
ES4:Oblivion: I have no idea how much time this one has sucked up. I've replayed it a grand total of 7 times and never finished it once. I don't bother with the main quest but stick to all the little side quests I can do.
