Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second chapter of the planned Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy and tells the story of what happens after the main characters leave the dark, oppressive city of Midgar and set off into a gorgeous world. While there's still plenty more to come in the final entry, there's a monstrous amount of the 1997 original's tale to cover in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and players should expect to spend quite a lot of time uncovering it all. Read on to find out exactly how long it'll take you to beat Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

How long to beat Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

According to the developers of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the main story of this outing of Cloud and friends should take an average of 40 hours for most players to complete. That's a substantial amount of content for those just looking for a streamlined, story-focused experience and doesn't account for the bevy of side quests, collectibles, and mini-games the game has to offer. Instead, completionists can expect to spend over double that amount of time doing everything.

You read that right: Those looking to complete the entirety of what comes packed in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth may be shocked to hear that the developers have also promised nearly 100 hours worth of total content. Certainly, there's no shortage of optional experiences for players to discover as they explore every nook and cranny of this pseudo-open-world chapter in the trilogy.

Whether you're trying to max out every character and collect every item or simply want to see the story unfold as quickly as possible, there's obviously tons of adventure awaiting you in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth when it launches on February 29, 2024 exclusively for PlayStation 5.
