How good are DLC's and how much time to get through the game and all content ?

Dunno about the DLC, but you can get around 15-40+ hours out of base game depending on if you farm for your class load out before you progress.

To access the DLCs you just be the game on the hardest Diffuclty ....I'm not joking , unless they patched that out.

Edit : oh and that Diffuclty is Chaos, which is only available after you complete the game on hard

This sounds like a joke.

Each dlc is a new difficulty setting.

I thought it unlocks in normal as well though, at least back when I played it on PS4.

Uhm..okay... I guess I need to do my own research

Stpre page just says 'game must be completed' with no mention of difficulty.

So it's not a story dlc?

Has story.... but story is scene before you go in a zone and beat up mobs. Unless you best all zones on chaos mode you will be 1 to 3 shorted by trash mobs. No story progression as must kill zone boss.

So it's not a joke but the DLCs can only be played AT THE highest Diffuclty or you won't be able to complete them .

No no. Higher than chaos.

Chaos is 300 armor level.

Dlc 1 400 armor lvl

Dlc 2 500 armor lvl

Dlc 3 600 armor lvl.

So must go in order and farm gear to kill bosses and lvl up.

You can beat the game on any difficulty to unlock the Trials of the Dragon King DLC, which gives you Bahamut difficulty. The TOTDK content can only be played on Bahamut difficulty. Beating the TOTDK content unlocks Wanderer of the Rift, which unlocks Gilgamesh difficulty. You need to beat 25 floors of the Rift Labyrinth to unlock the Different Future DLC, which unlocks Lufenia difficulty.

It will take you about 3-5 hours or so for each new DLC depending on how good your builds are to get through the content, but all of the DLC also adds stuff to make the game much more replayable if that's something you're interested in. The Rift Labyrinth especially is a really fun twist on the game that you can sink many hours into.

The gist of it is the main story is designed to be a normal action game where you play through it and enjoy your time and finish and be done with it, but if you like the gameplay and want to keep playing, the DLC turns the game into Diablo/POE where the focus shifts to loot drops and making overpowered builds to survive the increasingly ridiculous difficulty the game starts throwing at you and giving you tons of modifiers so that you can make the game as hard as possible if you really want to. The main game will take you around 20 hours to beat, but if you love the gameplay, you can drop basically an infinite amount of time into the DLC. I have over 300 hours on PS5 and just double dipped for the PC release. It all depends on how much you like what the game is.
