Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a huge game, but much of its content is optional. Yes, you can zoom through the main story, but those who want to see interactions between party members or become combat experts will have a lot more to do.
No matter how you slice it, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a huge game. Here is how long it takes to beat FF7Rand something about how to spend that time.
How long does it take to beat Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
My playthrough took place in person about 74 hours to go from the beginning until the credits finished rolling. For context, I have completed all the primary side missions and Chadley World Intel requests. Polygon’s reviewer, who approached the game with a completion mentality before devoting himself to the final chapters 90 hours with it.
I did not I’ve completed a lot of Queen’s Blood matches, and outside of the summons, I haven’t participated much in Chadley’s battle simulator either. Typically, I didn’t do any additional combat challenges (like the Gold Saucer combat missions) or get the highest score on each mini-game. (I’ve covered some of it, but not all.)
That said, if you want to complete the game 100%, you’ll have to spend dozens of hours more than I did. Full completion also requires you to replay certain chapters of the game to progress through things like Gold Saucer dates or Costa del Sol battle partners.
In a interview with GameInformer, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi has said that the game’s main story alone will take around 40 hours to complete. The same interview notes that a playthrough with a “good amount” of side content would last around 60 hours, and completionists could see more than 100 hours.
