How many hours to finish this game?

[Aspin]

It took less than 10 hours to finish Tales of Zesteria in the hardest difficulty. However Tales of Abyss took me around 35 hours. Does anyone finished playing Tales of Symphonia yet? If so can you share how long it takes to finish the game? Also does the battle system looks 3D as Tales of Zesteria or looks 2D as Tales of Abyss?

Thank you.

I haven't played this game since it initially came out on GameCube, but I feel like it took me at least 40 hours to beat the main storyline my first time around ... probably closer to 50.
As for the battle system, is it a side-to-side plane like Abyss, not like the Tales of Zestiria battles.

How the f did you finish Zestiria in 10 , i needed nearly 50 and that was without doing side stuff on the easiest.

haven't gotten for in zestiria, and only just got on it for pc, i also used to on GC, and i would do everything, so it took me atleast 75hours, but if just story i'd say 40 hours sounds right

Well, Tales of Zesteria is pretty straight-forward. It tells you where you need to go next as long as you payed attention to the story. Where as Tales of Abyss didn't. :-)

Nah, I personally believed on people's experience not some average statistic.

As an example on Tales of Zestiria:

The speedrun player got 10h 19m 36s for the fastest time. I finished this game less than 10 hours in the hardest difficulty, yet I still have time to wonder around some place just to enjoy the background music. Therefore, I think the information on these website are wrong. :-)

It took me 50-60 hours to do Zestiria, although I am the type of person that doesn't skip dialogue, checks out skits, does side quests and explores as much as possible. The first time I finished Symphonia was between 30-40 hours years ago, but nowadays I can do it quicker (while still exploring alot, doing sidequests etc). Depending on how you play this game can take you 11-60 hours easily.
