There is a game of the ........ version which is including DLC.

[The Red Knight]

The only available version is the Yorha of the Year edition, which includes the DLC. There is also replay value. The alternate endings aren't just minor tacked-on things. You have to replay through several times to get all of the story, so that factors into total play time. I'm just a bit into my first playthrough, so I can't give you playtimes yet.

The currently version on sale by steam is the YoRHa edition which basiccally a "deluxe" edition containing all DLC (even pre-order dlc IIRC). No vanilla version available to buy at steam atm.

IIRC you need about 50-60 hour to clear all main story and side story, depending on your pace. But the hunt for all 26 ending (only 5 matter for main story tho), some secret bossed and the DLC which include 3 trial will add 10-30 hours too.

This is false, the main endings aren't "alternate endings", they're consecutive, and you don't replay through the game several times, there's different routes that, together, make ONE playthrough.

Well some route is the alternate endings tho (you know which one) XD

TC, for rule of thumb just keep playing until you unlock chapter select and debug mode. This is where there is no new story other than hunt for the different ending and other thing i mentioned above.

My plan is buying vanilla version from cdkey website. It's only 15$

The different routes are completely different? You're not replaying parts of prior routes? I thought it was replaying the original route with variations. I must have misunderstood what I read. Again, only a bit of the way into my original playthrough.

What I meant in my prior reply is that replaying for different endings is not as basic as in most other games, that the other ('alternate' might not have been the best word) actually has enough different, and adds to the story, giving far more reason to replay after getting the initial ending.

I tell you a little about it then
Route A: your default playthrough with 2B
Route B: same as route A but this time from 9S perspective. Not to mention there is additional cutscene and lore for some bosses which you wont see at route A.
Route C: the continuation of story from Route A and B. Also, this is where the ending branched into C, D or E based on your choices.

Right, so from the sounds of it, at least in the case of B, you are replaying A for the most part, but with some changes. In some ways it's like the master quest in the original Zelda. It's technically a replay, but a signifigant portion has been altered. Again, the point of mentioning the other endings in my first reply was simply to note that there was a more substantial reason for additional playthroughs, and that would add to playtime.

Took me a little over 50 hours to 100%. If you don't care for the fetch quests and farming you can do it in about 20-25 hours. The game is divided into 3 major chapters, each played as different characters, and only the first chapter is lengthy and mostly due to the fact that you're low level. You keep all your levels and equipment in later chapters and they fly by much faster.

Also, I wouldn't recommend buying the vanilla version on a third party website. It's impossible to EVER upgrade it to the Game of the YoRHa Edition. Sure, you can buy the DLC separately but the other bonuses included in YoRHa (like all the pre-order DLC and cosmetics) will be unattainable.

I got the same question. Should i pick the vanilla pc version for 15 at a cdkey site ? or should I wait for a got edition sale. And if the got edition is on sale, do I choose pc or ps4 version. Cause I heard the port isn''t that great.

The game(GOTY) is around 15usd on steam sale but it is sold on cdkey for 15usd(Normal version) so we should wait for GOTY sale. Dont worry, steam summer sale is coming.

The Game of the YoRHa Edition was 50% off ($19.99) the last time it was on sale.
