As the communications campaign surrounding Final Fantasy 16 progresses, the game has firmly established itself as one of the most anticipated PS5 exclusives of the year. But how long will it keep players busy?
Final Fantasy 16 is undoubtedly one of the big PS5 releases of this year. The temporary exclusivity has recently been addressed by the press and the feedback is unanimous: the combat system is promising. However, some points need to be clarified, like the RPG aspect of the game, which is still kept secret. The other big question is about the lifespan of FF16. With the title being more action-oriented than ever, should players expect a less generous production in terms of content? The developers answered the question very frankly.
Up to 80 hours of gameplay for Final Fantasy 16
Naoki Yoshida continues to promise mountains and wonders for Final Fantasy 16. The cautious and clear producer is a man who generally measures his words. So when he talks about the lifespan of the next big PS5 exclusive, we have to believe him with a good heart. In an interview with Famitsu, the FF14 savior went back to h is statements about the 11 hours of cutscenes, specifying that these are only scenes connected to the main storyline. Other cutscenes
« The game will take around 35 hours to complete the main storyline. Count double when adding additional content “, he explained. Hiroshi Takai, director of Final Fantasy 16, would like to reassure the players. Yes, there will be plenty of side quests, although the content of the planned activities is still nebulous. To tell the truth, Yoshi-P admits that the game was originally intended to be shorter so that players who are increasingly busy with their daily lives could at least complete the main story in 20 hours. However, as development progressed, the team continued to add new elements. As a result, FF16 can keep you busy for 80 hours if you choose to explore it in its entirety.
An ultra hard mode and sc oreboard
With this game, we really wanted players to be able to play through the story from start to finish. If the story is too long, the game can become tiring. That’s why we wanted Final Fantasy 16 or real roller coaster, where if you think you know where you’re going, the game goes in a different direction. Finally, FF16 is really a compendium of the story, fights, etc. Unless you skip the cutscenes, it takes about 35 hours to complete. Now if you want to master and hone your skills, get all the accessories, do all the side quests, and fight all the monsters to hunt, it’s more like 70-80 hours of gameplay. We have an incredibly difficult New Game Plus mode (called Final Fantasy mode) that allows you to keep your stats. This should add even more hours of gameplay.

There is also a scoreboard for “Attack Points”. For the director of Final Fantasy 16, the most competitive players will then be rewarded with endless gameplay if they aim to beat the scores of fans around the world, including him. However, we’ll have to wait a little longer to find out what other types of additional content Final Fantasy 16 and its RPG mechanics will offer. For the record, the game is expected to release June 22, 2023 exclusively on PS5.
