There's still a fair amount more I could play around with, but I saw all I felt like I needed to. W r a i t h View Profile View Posts. FFXIII, hours with little content done in Gran Pulse to complete main story took me hours to beat it this time on PC with a bit of farming [sacrifices for perfume and scarletite obviously] and about Cie-th stone missions done on Gran Pulse.

Probably like 80 with all of Gran Pulse done and some other stuff, depending on your pace and if your grinding and farming. So like 40 hours with little content done and about 70 hours with it all done. Last edited by W r a i t h ; 11 Nov, pm. Originally posted by i Fight Ghosts Base intruder :.

Final Fantasy IV: Interlude only comes in at about 2. However, the full sequel clocks in at about The second game in the series is often remembered as one of the worst.

It pushed things forward with a more nuanced story, but the gameplay veered far from what fans are now accustomed to. The idea of characters leveling up as abilities were used led to the stats easily being broken by players attacking their own party members.

Still, it's not horrid or unplayable by any stretch of the word. People looking to play through all of the games won't find this one a slog. Plus, it's still on the relatively short side of things.

This bodes well as it's probably the worst of the three games in terms of both gameplay mechanics and story. Fans of the original game will still have some fun with it, but everyone else might be better off watching the cutscenes on YouTube and skipping ahead to Lightning Returns instead.

A single playthrough typically takes just over 27 hours, while completing all of the game's tasks will require a little over 72 hours of playtime. Thanks in large to the omission of Lightning and the need to play as Serah though, this can feel like a lot of work for very little payoff.

The Chocobo racing is a lot of fun, but everything else just feels like busywork. The most recent numbered entry was somewhat polarizing for fans. It looked undeniably gorgeous, but it was too easy and the battle system was not engaging enough, despite the fights themselves being marvelous spectacles.

Its length also wildly varies because of its structure. The first several chapters are brimming with side quests. One can spend dozens of hours doing favors for town folk, greatly inflating the playtime. After a certain point, the story puts the players on rails and beelines towards a finish.

The third entry sees silent protagonists come back for a more straightforward adventure than its predecessor. Despite the simplicity of its narrative, it'll take longer than the prior two. Like the first game, however, its charm and whimsy keep players glued to the screen the whole time, making the hours fly by like an airship.

Final Fantasy X-2 was a fairly groundbreaking game, in as much that it was the first time that Square Enix developed a sequel to a mainline Final Fantasy game. It continues the story of Tidus and Yuna while further expanding upon the lore of Spira.

It's not quite as good as its predecessor, but it's certainly not without its charms. While the PS2 release's main story took almost 40 hours to complete , quality of life updates implemented in modern ports has brought this time down considerably making it a much more palatable experience. The 'True' ending still requires a second playthrough though, and players will need to tackle the incredibly frustrating tower alignment mini-game if they're attempting a completionist run.

Final Fantasy V often gets left out of the conversation. It's not quite an all-time great, but it's not as flawed or outdated as Final Fantasy II , so it kind of just sits there on its own. Still, one will find just as engrossing a world as the others if they take the plunge. Really, it's hard to go wrong with any of the two-dimensional outings.

Not many games this old can say they will occupy gamers' time for more than thirty hours. Not too many people stuck with Lightning through to the end of her trilogy, but those who did likely spent at least hours across all three games. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII accounts for around 34 hours of that, although this time can increase dramatically if players opt to do more than just the main story.

Completing everything that the game has to offer will take players around 65 and a half hours, which actually makes it the shortest of the three games from a completionist's perspective. The sweeping world built on the foundations of Final Fantasy 12 and paved the way for the road trip extravaganze that was Final Fantasy Now on Game Pass , old fans are revisiting the game while other people are discovering it for the first time.

So how long does it take to beat Final Fantasy 13? The setup for FF13 feels very similar to fans: there's a shadowy government keeping secrets from people and a great war a long time ago that changed everything. But FF13 combines elements like the environmentalism and broodiness of FF7 with the guileless and captivating world design of FF The "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" of the plot shares a lot with FF10 and FF7, as well.
