Op Betting Pool: How quickly can I beat Phantasy Star IV?
Here's the deal: Starting at 12 PM EST tomorrow, I'm gonna throw the Sega Genesis Collections into my PS2 and start playing Phantasy Star IV. My goal is to beat it in one sitting, without getting up to eat, drink, use the bathroom, or anything. The way you get involved is to bet on how long it will take me to reach key points in the game and beat the game overall. Below, I will outline seven events, and all you have to do is guess when I'll reach them. Because I may start earlier or later depending on when I wake up, I ask that you bet in hours rather than on the actual time (i.e. say "six hours to beat the game" rather than "you'll beat the game at 6 PM"). Whoever guesses closest to each point will win an opinion on whatever video they want, so six opinions will be handed out.
So, without further adue, how long will it take me to...
...defeat the first boss of the game?
...find an old man shacked up with a catgirl?
...rescue a loli android from tentacle rape?
...take my first flight into outer space?
...recruit Sailor Mercur- uh, "Kyra" to my party?
...retrieve the Aero-Prism?
...finish the game?
For those of you unfamiliar with the game itself, keep in mind that 1. this is an RPG from the 16-bit era, released in 1993, and 2. by my estimation, this is my eighth or ninth time playing through the game. Those two facts ought to be able to influence your answers, though those who have played PSIV will definitely still have the edge on the mid-game bets.
Place your bets now, and I'll announce the winners as soon as I'm actually done with the game.

I should probably clarify that you don't have to guess in exact hours, i.e. you can say "one hour, twenty-three minutes"
