But if you're playing Final Fantasy games and doing only main story, you're doing it wrong. I did 29 of the missions of Gran Pulse before finishing the main story. Play it casually. After I finish the main story of XIII, i intend on continuing my game play by collection achievements and upgrading weapons and accessories to their maximum potential.

There's still a fair amount more I could play around with, but I saw all I felt like I needed to. W r a i t h View Profile View Posts. FFXIII, hours with little content done in Gran Pulse to complete main story took me hours to beat it this time on PC with a bit of farming [sacrifices for perfume and scarletite obviously] and about Cie-th stone missions done on Gran Pulse.
Probably like 80 with all of Gran Pulse done and some other stuff, depending on your pace and if your grinding and farming. Once complete, you can reload your cleared save data and resume play from a point just before the final boss, Japanese magazine Famitsu via Siliconera reports. Skip to content Technology.

Even though spin-offs have slowed down a bit, Final Fantasy XIV i s trudging along, full speed ahead. The wait for the next mainline entry, Final Fantasy XVI , will likely be a long one, so fans have plenty of time to revisit old favorites or dive into ones they never had a chance to play before.
With the new pixel remasters , it is easier to play some of the older 2D games in an optimal way. To help make the search for what game to play a little easier, this list will tell fans how long it takes to beat each mainline Final Fantasy title.
One of the new games added is not a numbered title, but it is more highly regarded than other Final Fantasy games, and thus felt worthy of inclusion here. The tale that started it all holds up surprisingly well due to its straightforward nature and charm. Of course, gamers are better off playing one of the many ports instead of the NES original. The first release is plagued with weird bugs, causing certain vital gameplay mechanics to function abnormally. The optimal version is the 20th anniversary edition released for the PSP.
Its sprite art is gorgeous, and doesn't look jarringly cartoonish like the updates done to some of the later 2D Final Fantasy games. Often one of the two most celebrated 2D entries, Final Fantasy IV comes in as the second shortest entry. While not the first one to have a more complicated narrative, it is often seen as the first one that did it right. Because of its strong story, the gameplay is relatively straightforward, and it is always easy to know where the next objective lies.
Unless one is stuck at a combat encounter, the game should be a breeze to whisk through in less than a day's worth of a gameplay.
Final Fantasy IV is also followed up by a sequel , though it is less celebrated than the other sequels from the series. Final Fantasy IV: Interlude only comes in at about 2.
However, the full sequel clocks in at about The second game in the series is often remembered as one of the worst. It pushed things forward with a more nuanced story, but the gameplay veered far from what fans are now accustomed to.
The idea of characters leveling up as abilities were used led to the stats easily being broken by players attacking their own party members.
Still, it's not horrid or unplayable by any stretch of the word. People looking to play through all of the games won't find this one a slog. Plus, it's still on the relatively short side of things. This bodes well as it's probably the worst of the three games in terms of both gameplay mechanics and story.
Fans of the original game will still have some fun with it, but everyone else might be better off watching the cutscenes on YouTube and skipping ahead to Lightning Returns instead. Just a basic runthrough of the main story for me clocked in at , attempting to platinum was around In all it's kinda shorter than FF13, prolly due to less grind, but it has much more content to explore.
For me on xbox it took nearly about a month to finish this game fully including the missions. Originally posted by Alabama Man :. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 24 Nov, am. Posts:
