If you’re looking for something to do this summer to weather the June heatwave, Square Enix has thought of the perfect solution. In an interview with Famitsu, translated by the Twitter user @aitaikimochithe developers of the next Final Fantasy XVI have given us an idea of how long the game could last, both for those who only want to play the main story and for those who absolutely want to finish everything.
In the interview, the game’s director, Hiroshi Takaisaid, “FF16 is a story-based game that will take you on a rollercoaster ride. You’ll see the whole Clive lifestyle, and the game will probably take you around 35 hours. If we include secondary content, it can be twice as long.” “.
When asked to elaborate on the “double” claim, producer Naoki Yoshida added, “For this game, we really wanted the player to be able to experience the story from beginning to end. If the story was too long, the game could be So we wanted FF16 to feel like a roller coaster where just when you think you can see the road ahead of you, you’re being swept in another direction.
“That’s why the game is so rich in story, battles, etc. that if you don’t skip any scenes, it will take you about 35 hours to understand the gist of the story and complete the game. Now, if you want Master and level up Upgrade all skills, collect all accessories, do all side quests and fight all monster hunts, you’re probably looking at 70-80 hours of gameplay.”
Yoshida goes one step further and also revealed that FFXVI will even feature a New Game+ feature that will bring “even more hours of gameplay”.
In short, you better start planning your vacation in advance if you intend to fully finish Final Fantasy XVI this summer, when it arrives on PlayStation 5 on June 22.
