How many hours would it take to beat the main story

[OldRoshi]

Not just the side missions included, just if you were to only do the main story full on (like minium hours it would take).

Well good luck beating the main story without side qeusts. Will kick your butt hard if you don't do them.

problem with side quests are not the bosses or task that gives takes time. is going to the place what takes most of the time. so i would say without them is 30h since i reach ch8 and stopped from boredom .

Well what i ment was-

How long would it take to beat the game for a casual.

Not. "Oh it took me 300 hours to complete the game backwards".

Casual I would say 20-30 hours.

I read it's surprisingly short for a ff game

Difficulty makes a huge difference. If you play on Easy, you don't have to level up or complete sidequests and the game will keep you in-line with the roughly lvl45 enemies at the end of the game. So on Easy it can be done in 20 hours or less, because you can literally hold down the attack button and skip every cutscene.

The "normal" length of the game, playing on either of the higher 2 difficulties, takes about 40-45 hours with an average amount of side content.

"Full completion" of the plot, all side quests, new added content and DLC episodes (taken from PS4 version, but should be same) is about 65-75 hours.

"Completionist" would be like every recipe, every nonsense DLC item, like getting all the festival rewards and every fishing spot completed was about 100 hours for me.
