Final Fantasy XIII promises over 60 hours of fun
December 2nd, 2009 by Colin Temple
Square Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy XIII is, of course, going to be one big, long game. I expect that, you expect that. Now, Square Enix is giving us a number.
FF13 will lock in at least 60 hours of your time in the first playthrough. Motomu Toriyama, who’s heading up the project, tells Kotaku:
… the size of the entire game is considerable. Just running through the main story takes experienced players over 50 hours. For the first time, I think it’s possible to play through in full in about 60 hours or so.
That’s for the storyline alone. For completionists, who look for details and run through as many sidequests as possible, we’re probably looking at nearly 100 hours of gameplay.
Not too bad.
Final Fantasy XIII will be released on December 17 in Japan, and March 9 in North America, Europe and Australia.

I’ll bet the game takes around 45 hours to beat but 60 hours of fun seems unlikely…

@ Anon – eh? Final Fantasy XII had TONS of side quests – did you forget about all the hunts?
Anyway, i can’t wait for this game. I like to get 100% completion from my games and so it looks like i’ll be sticking in at least 100 hours into Final Fantasy XIII.
