70-80 hours maybe. Depends if you do everything right or not the first and second year. You might need to use the third year to finish stuff up.

A full year takes about 30-40 hours depending on your playstyle.

Around 50 hours for 2 years in game which is the estimated time to complete the story.

As to replayability I would say yes though it may depend on how you play. In my case I am focusing my character on certain skills (fishing and farming primarily at the moment) so on a second playthrough I would likely change things up and focus on say mining and animals. Obviously though if you aim to do everything in one playthrough then the replayability will be reduced although then there are still different romance options to pursue though how much appeal that holds is subjective.

An year takes around 30 hours if you stay up doing something everyday until night, which I personally normally do, and it takes at least 2 years to finish the main storyline, you can keep playing after that or if you're really casual and didn't bother planning ahead after the first year you may take 3 years instead of 2 to complete the main story (there are things that can only be done in a specific season, so if the first 2 springs went by and you still didn't go get that X thing, you'll need to play another year to finish it).

Honestly the potential for replay is not big, but the potential to keep playing after you finished everything to aim for achievements and stuff like that is huge, like for example the achievement of getting 10 hearts with everyone requires many more years than the 2 of the storyline.

There's definitely replayability. There are 10 eligible bachelors/bachelorettes for your character to marry. There are two competing storylines (won't spoil it, but you'll eventually figure it out). Not truly competing, but they do oppose each other slightly and change one aspect of the game. Not to mention you could play several times over and change up farming methods to see what works best for you.

Wrong forum bro? I think you're talking about Dragon's Dogma, this is the Stardew Valley forums.

It would be considered a major spoiler, so people wouldn't normally be posting about it in general :D There normally is an end game discussion posted somewhere marked out, but I don't want to go looking for it and accidentally see something about the future of the game.

I'm just starting out but I'm stressed out worried about missing things. I know I shouldn't be, but I do worry about that kind of stuff when I play games.

I'm curious if there is much I can actually miss out on or if most things come around again the next year in the game, and if stuff doesn't start to happen / get triggered until you first start to talk to people or visit certain areas.

I'm wondering if I could stay mostly at my home, fixing up the grounds and doing crops and fishing for months in the game before venturing out and still not miss much because of how the game is made.

I should probably just relax and do what I want to, and then if it turns out I feel I missed much I can always play again knowing what I'm doing better. Since I see the extra content that's coming listed on the main web page I may end up wanting to play through it again anyway, unless they are things that anybody can experience in their current game the way stuff gets added here.

Most stuff can't be missed as far as I know. The only things you can somewhat miss are if a quest timer runs out or you don't pick up the quest from the front of the general store but those are randomly generated so missing them isn't so bad. Everything else is pretty much just do when you want at your own pace and if you can miss it then it will come back around eventually.

The only thing I don't know if they respawn eventually is the mailbox quests where you get a specific request mailed to you (robin's lost axe for example). The quest has no time limit so I assume it can be completed at any time but I don't know if it will be sent again if you accidentally turn it down.
