The highly anticipated Final Fantasy XVI is just around the corner but exactly how long is the game? Here’s everything you need to know about the overall length of the game, including its main story and side content.
Square Enix has become a powerhouse for JRPGs over the decades, proving to be extremely proficient when it comes to the genre. Final Fantasy XVI is the latest installment in the Final Fantasy series, following on from the recent Final Fantasy 7 and Crisis Core remakes.
The game will deliver fans a dark story full of interesting lore, and in a franchise first, it will feature a full action-based combat system. Players will likely sink a lot of time into the game, but exactly how long is it?
Here’s just how much time you can expect to spend as Clive Rosfield in the world of Valisthea.
How long is Final Fantasy XVI?
According to a translated interview with developers, via @aitaikimochi, it’s expected that a total of 35 hours will be required for players to complete the game while exploring here and there.
This is only for a basic run of the game though. For those completionist players who want to see and do everything, then you’re going to be looking at a rather more sizable 70-80 hours to see what the world of Valisthea has in store for you.
