Recently, "Final Fantasy 16" producer Naoki Yoshida talked about the duration of the work in an interview with Japanese game magazine Famitsu. Yoshida said it will take about 70-80 hours to complete the Final Fantasy 16. If you don't skip the cutscene, the main line will take about 35 hours.

In addition, Yoshida also said that "Final Fantasy 16" has also added a "Final Fantasy Mode" second-week mode, inheriting all data, so when players pass the level, they can also enjoy it.

"When the game development first started, I had an idea that players are very busy now, so I hope they can at least complete the story. I think it makes sense to get the game done in about 20 hours, but then more and more things are added.

For this game, we really hope that players can experience the whole story from beginning to end. If the story is too long, it may feel exhausted to play. That's why we hope Final Fantasy 16 will give you a roller coaster experience, when you think you can see the road ahead, you'll be pulled in the other direction.

So the game is really full of stories, battles, and so on, and if you haven't skipped any cutscenes, it takes about 35 hours to learn about a lot of plots and finish the game. Now, if you want to master and upgrade all skills, collect all accessories, complete all side quests, and defeat all monsters, you may need 70-80 hours of gameplay. Not only that, we have also added a new crazy difficulty game+ mode called Final Fantasy Mode, allowing you to keep all your statistics. This may add more time to the game. ”

In addition, Yoshida also mentioned that Final Fantasy 16 will have an online ranking, and players will be able to compete, probably for high scores and/or clearance time.

Se previously stated that "Final Fantasy 16" will not be an open world, unlike "Final Fantasy 15". Yoshida later publicly stated that it might take 15 years to create the game using open-world design.

Finish Fantasy 16 will be more similar to the rebooted God of War, with large explorable areas, and similar splits of action and role-playing game elements.

"Final Fantasy 16" will be released on June 22 to PS5. The PC version has been officially announced, but it will be released a little later.
