Players can't wait to dive into it; however, many wonder how long will it take for them to finish the game and explore its vast open world. In this article, we will look at the estimated length of Final Fantasy 16’s main story and completionist run.

Final Fantasy 16 Main Story Length

According to aitaikimochi's translated interview with Final Fantasy 16’s developers, the main story of Final Fantasy 16 will take you about 35-40 hours to complete, which is similar to the other main games in the series, like Final Fantasy 15 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

The game’s producer, Naoki Yoshida, revealed that they wanted to make a shorter and more snappy game at first in order to make it suitable for gamers who are swamped and don’t have a lot of time to play. However, the game grew and grew as they stuffed in more content.
