game length?

[Kintsugi]

From what i can tell it takes 19 -20 ish hours to finish the game.....kinda super short for a rpg. Is there some kinda endgame loop or something?

Not really? 5-10 hours for story, more if you wander around, do side quests, try out different characters or do anything that doesn't just bull rush "next story quest". Post story is where the game really opens up actually.

I will say not trying out all the characters and only playing with 1 single meta build you find online is what shorten the experience alot.

Story is give or take 20 hours, then you unlock a whole lot of endgame content which takes much much more to complete and unlock everything.
Its like monster hunter where the story ends after 15ish hours but then all other content unlocks for you to play.

The story is really short BUT the "meat" of the game lies within the post game. This game is about quests and farming items to level up your characters and try to beat higher difficulties

It took me almost 20 hours to roll credits, but that's not really the end of the story. I'm at about 65 hours and I'm still making my way through the last of the hardest difficulty quests. I still have a lot of stuff to collect and things to upgrade so easily 100+ hour game, but the game is hella fun to play so there's reason to keep going.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Seriously ?

Anything planned to expand on the game yet ? otherwise I'm refunding!

Think story took me like 10 hours or less. :-\ but I am grinding end game now so.

It wouldn't be so bad if there were lots of classes I wanted to run. I grabbed it due to the upcoming Archer. I was going to mess around with dual hand guns to get the basics down and then wait. What's the point in waiting months for the archer for 5 - 10 hours of story

Story is short, 3-5 days playing, 3-4 hours/day and you are done the final chapter most likely provided you play properly.

Post-story content (chapter 0) most likely would only take slightly a bit shorter same time as clearing the story since post-story content practically is looping back the story mode except without the walking scenes and just the bosses. At least up to first Proud difficulty mission.

Then you will encounter some more new quests until clearing the final unlocked quest which is The Tale of Rage Bahamut (Proto Bahamut boss, drops Terminus weapon). Probably only took a day or 2.

Once you reach this point, what left is self-challenge content; completing collection and trophies, reach the best build, perfect or solo clearing quests. The length depends on your skill, RNG luck and how far you wanted to reach. Could be none or could take more than hundreds of hours playing and still not completed.
