How long to get to Aerith?

[NeonDera]

im only curious because i kind of only want this game just to play as her, but everything says you only unlock her at chapter 8 (curious if it takes long to get there) and if there is a NG feature is it just chapter selects so i'\d have to just pick her chapters play through till whenever then rinse and repeat? i know the focus is cloud and tifa but i just don't care about them xD

[Cloud]

yea after u finish the game theres hard mode and chapter selection

Do note that you cannot change which character you're actively controlling outside of battle. So if you have Cloud and Aerith in your party it will be Cloud (with some exceptions) that you'll walk around as with the other follwing you around.

You know what even after Chapter 8 u cant always play as Aerith, right?

If it is only the model of Aerith that you want to play as you can mod that.

It's somewhere like 8-13 hours in. I realize that's a big window but it's just a rough ballpark.

Aerith is not very fun to play, her attack is slow, fragile survivability, but powerful magic indeed, you just need to running from enemies all the time to keep yourself alive.
It's almost 12 hours to get to chapter 8 to play as her

Chapter 8 as was mentioned, which is probably some 5-8 hours (longer if a bit slow). She was really well done in the remake and is my favorite. Make sure to do ALL of her side quests and since you like her in the sewers wake her up FIRST (otherwise if you did all of Tifa's stuff, too, for the side quests then the sewer event is what determines a later special scene in chapter 14 at Aerith's home between Aerith/Tifa/ or Barrett).

Aerith is the strongest character in the game btw so look forward to her. Magic is basically FFXV all over again insanely powerful when used right. Best yet is Cloud magic weapon + Aerith + double cast ward = quadruple OP spell bursts.

You already gave the spoilers in the OP.

I disagree. Maybe if ALL you do is pump her magic abilities, that's the case, but it doesn't have to be. This is why you have control over which equipment, which materia, AND how you buff each weapon on the upgrade screen. She is one of my favorites to play.

Even if all you do is pump her magic abilities, she almost is never in combat alone, and there's many protection abilities you can grant to her to keep her safe.
