How long does it take to complete Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a massive game, spanning two discs and requiring a hard drive capacity of at least 150GB. With such sizeable proportions, it’s no surprise that players can expect to invest considerable time immersing themselves in its world. Now that the game review embargo has lifted, we can delve into specifics, such as how long it takes to complete Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Comprising about fourteen chapters, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth follows a pacing similar to its predecessor, Remake. However, unlike Remake’s confinement to Midgar, Rebirth introduces an expansive open-world landscape. Here, players can explore every nook and cranny, assist Chadley in completing World Intel tasks, and engage in various other activities.

How long is the main storyline of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

If we focus solely on breezing through the story, the expected time to beat Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is around 40 hours. This estimate is based on my calculation that each chapter in the game could take approximately 2-3 hours to complete, assuming minimal exploration.

How much time does it typically take to achieve 100% completion in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Completing everything in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth would require at least over 100 hours of gameplay, given the abundance of content in the game. This includes sidequests, mini-games, leveling characters up to 70, and tackling combat simulator challenges. Completing all the World Intel across the five available regions in the game can take around 3 hours, in addition to the time it takes to progress through the main storyline.

Which activities in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth tend to consume the most playtime?

While playing through the game, I was deeply engrossed in Queen’s Blood. Challenging every NPC, collecting Legendary Cards, and competing in tournaments at Gold Saucer has become quite addictive. Additionally, there are numerous other time-consuming activities to pursue, such as achieving high scores in mini-games at Gold Saucer, dominating Chocobo Racing, tackling challenging battles at Fort Condor, and engaging in various mini-games involving Chocobo gliding through Cosmo Canyon, among others. As highlighted in our review, the plethora of side activities can be overwhelming, so I recommend taking your time and not rushing through them.
