Game is great but it's ridiculously short.

[diesoon]

I played 1.5 hour of it and i'm on chapter 4. There are 10 chapters. I barely got to know the world and story and i'm nearly halfway through already. VERY disappointing. I thought this was the next big RPG game, but it's closer to budget Monster Hunter.

From what I understand, the game really starts AFTER the story.

The story is short yeah, but there's plenty to do after you beat it. New bosses, more difficult quests and cooler sigils to collect.

It's....an interesting case. While the story is short, a lot of the content is from grinding quests to make new gear and weapons. The enemies that you fight are pretty much just the same as in the story, just with some different numbers and the occasional attack here and there.

New enemies don't really exist so if you don't like the fights in the story....it isn't going to get better. I think of it as more like DIablo II, where the post game is just a whole lot of grinding to test builds and try for the best possible result in fights.

So what? My point stands. It's super short.

I got a prompt " Chapter 5".Then I was wondering where was chapter 2 and 3 ? :D 10h to clear the game. Short ;<

I am surprised by the number of people who have a misconceived idea of the game. The game is focused on cooperative play (which only becomes serious after finishing the campaign). The campaign is just an additional feature and functions as a tutorial for what comes next

[BadassSephi]

not sure about you guys, but i rather have a game where i get high quality chapters instead many boring ones. each chapter has unique location, enemy, bosses etc.

besides, the real fun begins after you beat the story like in monster hunter

You have no right to critique the length of the story when you haven't even played through it all.

Can't you deduce that if i did 3.5 chapters in 1.5h then the whole campaign might take me under 5 hours? Don't be defensive about the game please.

The first chapters are a little bit shorter than the other ones

[Suzaku]

OP isn't wrong about the story being pretty short.

What they are wrong about is the game's length. The story is just the tutorial, and the post-story content is the rest, which will easily take several times longer to complete.

[Stoners Knight]

ya the story is ass but if you look at it like a monster hunter title where the meat and potatoes is after you drink the dog water then it's not so bad.

it's a great endgame with a couple wonky mechanics but i think totally worth getting thru the story for..

[Saddio]

Took me roughly 40 hrs to complete. I stopped to smell the flowers while enjoying the story. It’s not Tales length, but it was a sweet ride.

Deduction isn't used seriously in anything except Sherlock Holmes books. I experienced this worry too, noticing I was already on Ch4 so quickly and alarmed by the game reportedly having only 10 chapters. But as it turns out, those early chapters are just shorties. The chapters after 4 are all fairly long and they get longer. The last two chapters are absurdly long. Even after clearing them, the endgame is mega ultra long and all the RNG lootbox farming makes it even longer. Then there's the meta being damage caps and war elemental and supplementary damage and terminus weapons which require tyranny and you get an endgame where every build is basically the same, which means you're rolling constant useless sigils hoping for the 1% drop you actually need that is worth something.

You understand that the game is basically a chain of main missions without anything in between, right? Every single JRPG is extremely short if you remove grind, side quests, exploration and random time spent talking to npcs. If you maybe stopped rushing the main quest and started doing some quest you'll have more playtime.

Wait till you meet white and black dragon xDDD
