Players are getting ready for a massive production with Square Enix. Finally, a studio official confirmed the duration of the experience and the specifics of extra activities. The players of Final Fantasy XVI are in store for many enjoyable hours.
In terms of substance, Final Fantasy XVI might be one of the biggest video games of 2023. Because developers can boast, Square Enix discusses statistics openly.
Final Fantasy XVI alone would take roughly 35 hours to finish, according to Square Enix representatives who were quoted in the most recent issue of the Famitsu magazine. Initially, the developers wanted to make a much shorter plot.
In order for users to finish the adventure “in one day,” the team intended to offer events that lasted for about 24 hours. Nevertheless, things changed during this process. But, players need not worry about an uninteresting plot because it seems the authors have some surprises planned:
“We truly wanted the player to experience the story from start to finish in our game. The game might get boring if the plot were too long. Because of this, Naoki Yoshida remarked, “We want FF16 to feel like a roller coaster where you’re tugged in one direction just as you start to glimpse the path ahead.
The producer continued, saying that while the creators had planned all the material for between 70 and 80 hours of enjoyment, fans would still have to wait for New Game+, which would be taxing for many players:
“As a result, the game is so jam-packed with the plot, fighting, and other content that, if you don’t skip a single cinematic, finishing it will take you about 35 hours. You’ll probably need between 70 and 80 hours of playtime if you want to perfect and level up every skill, get every accessory, do every side mission, and battle every monster. The fun doesn’t stop there, though, as we’ve also created “Final Fantasy Mode,” a very challenging New Game+ option that lets you transfer all of your stats. This will probably result in even more gameplay time,” said Yoshida.
The studio also made it clear that the 11 hours of cutscenes described earlier only consist of plot segments. For the needs of battles and side tasks not covered in this list, the game has a ton of materials ready.
