How long does the game last?
Final Fantasy VII Remake takes place entirely within Midgar itself, from the bombardment to the end which we will not talk about for the moment. Looking at the original, the Midgar portion of the game was under 10 hours or so depending on your playing speed. You might even finish it a little faster if you really pushed forward.
There was no way Final Fantasy VII Remake would be this close in this short term, as it would greatly disappoint fans. Instead, Square Enix has expanded considerably over the town of Midgar and its various locations and we can report that the duration is sure not to disappoint people.
On average, Final Fantasy VII Remake should take players 35 to 45 hours. The lower end would be if you skip most of the side quests, with doubts speedrunners will find a way to cut that down in the future. For the typical gamer who plays and does most of the things he can on a first game, this will be somewhere in the 35-45 hour range.
When I finally hit the in-game credits, I was sitting around 45 hours of playtime. This consisted of completing all of the side quests available in the game while playing, as well as a few wanderings to just bask in the glory. of the game itself. There have also been a few times the boss fights took a while due to the lack of the right Materia equipped to help speed it up.
This is only the duration of the main game that we are also talking about, as you also have a hard mode to conquer after the fact, as well as additional collectibles and fights on Battle Simulator. With these you can add a lot more hours to the total if you are a true completion.
