When Final Fantasy XVI arrives on PlayStation 5 next year, it will likely offer players a huge amount of content to check out. In a new interview with the Italian website Everyeye , director Hiroshi Takai revealed that it would take about 35-40 hours to complete the story, while if we wanted to complete the game ‘100 percent’ it should take most players over 70 hours. This should not come as a surprise – this is a fairly standard resource for an RPG, especially when it comes to the cult Final Fantasy.
The translation of Takai’s comments was provided by the user @aitaikimochi on Twitter, and the tweet itself is visible below:
Do not kid yourself; although the length of the game itself is not that important, in a way, buying video games is an investment for the player. Since most new games on PlayStation 5 exceed the price of PLN 300, many users approach purchases with caution and count on a satisfactory number of hours of fun in return. There are many great games out there that offer even less than 10 hours of gameplay, and this is already a length that not everyone likes. Providing information about the time it takes to move ahead helps consumers determine whether they want to buy a title for launch or wait for a price cut. Added to all this is the fact that RPG- players have always counted, counting and will count on many hours of addictive story.
Final Fantasy XVI is due out in the middle of 2023, so fans won’t have to wait long to verify Takai’s words. Remember that each player goes through the game in an individual way, so it is also difficult to accurately assess how quickly the average player will finish the game. Hopefully, in addition to its fair length, Final Fantasy will once again offer high-quality content that will keep players engaged, even for hours.
