You’ll spend a quarter of that time just completing the game.
Believe it or not, we’re only a few months away from the release of Final Fantasy XV. You know, that one game that’s been in development for over a decade now.
Anyway, more and more details about the title are being revealed as we get closer to it’s release, and now, it looks like we know how long it will take to do everything in the game. Hope you have a big comfy couch.
During Square Enix’s E3 2016 livestream, FFXV director Hajime Tabata answered a fan’s question on the game’s overall length.
Tabata explained:
“In terms of clearing the main story, we’re anticipating about 40-50 hours of gameplay. At the very least there will be 40 hours of content to enjoy. But there are a lot of side quests and other extra things. With just the extra stuff alone, we’re looking at maybe 100 hours of gameplay. So if you count all of that, maybe we’re looking at around 200 hours of gameplay. A lot of fans have been waiting quite a while for this game, so we wanted to make sure there’s a lot of content for them to enjoy.”
While we don’t think that math quite adds up, this is indeed a massive game. Rarely today do we see AAA JRPG’s, and even rarer are those that match the size and scale of games like Fallout 4 or Witcher 3.
Based on what we played in the Episode Duscae and Platinum Demo, there’s obviously going to be a lot to do, and we’re excited to literally lose days of our lives try to complete this long-awaited behemoth of a game.
Final Fantasy XV comes to PS4 and Xbox One on September 30.
