We return to talk about the duration of Final Fantasy 16, one of the topics that most interest players waiting for the new episode of the series arriving on PlayStation 5 next June 22nd. Through a new interview, Square Enix discusses the matter again with further details.
Speaking into the microphones of Famitsuhe director Hiroshi Takai and the producer Naoki Yoshida have confirmed that the overall longevity of Final Fantasy XVI will get around between 70 and 80 hours for those who want to complete the game entirely. As for the main story alone, Yoshida specifies that they will be needed at least 35 hours to get to the end credits. A perhaps less than stellar duration compared to the standards of other Action/RPGs or previous games in the series, however the producer explains that “we wanted the players to be able to experience the story from beginning to end, and if the duration of the main plot was been too long, it could then become tiring to play”.
In any case, the eighty hours can be reached easily “if you want to enhance and master every skill, get all the accessories, do every side mission and face every monster”, specifies the producer. In short, the next Final Fantasy will still be able to offer a long and full-bodied experience for anyone willing to dig deep into each of its contents.
In any case, we recall that Final Fantasy 16 will have 11 hours of footage, confirming how narrative will play a central role within the production.
