How long is this game?

[Mållgan]

I'm on the fence whether to purchase this game or not, especially since there are a bunch of FF games on sale.

40 Hrs.

Seems specific and odd, considering the fact that you don't own the game. Did the developers say this?

Game duration: I'd say you can expect roughly 40 hours if you're focusing mainly on the core content. If you start doing optional content and trying to unlock everything, it could be quite a bit more.

More specifically, (as 6 Eyes said), if you do plenty of side content (treasure hunting / secret finding / some Patrols for the fun of it), then the average playthrough is about 40 - 60 hours.

Of course, should you have more specific questions, feel free to ask ^_^

I've cleared the main story while doing all optional content possible to my knowledge (minus the post-game dungeon), and my save file is at 65 hours. Granted, about 10 hours of that was probably grinding classes.

My time played is at 80 hours, which was entirely on a single save file, although some of that was just messing around waiting for new builds to come out.

I'd say 40 hours sounds about right for going through the main story and maybe a few patrols/extra encounters.

wouldn't any number he said be specific and odd? i would think it would be more odd if he said 37.5 hours

i can tell you i skipped all dialogue (because i had already seen it in previous playthroughs) and i'm right before the final battle and it took me 36 hours.

It's also worth pointing out that the game gets slower if you up the difficulty - fights take longer, and you wanna spend more time equipping and planning before each battle.

You can also easily get a NG+-like effect out of replaying the game with Elite enemies turned on - this adds unique modifactions to up the tactical difficulty to almost every encounter in the game. But either way turning up the difficulty will generally make the game longer since fights will be more challenging and it'll rarely be viable to quickly roll over them with just brute force.
