How long to play completelly through the story of FF 14

[ArcanoJones]

From beginning to the end of Shadowbringers.. Would you say 500 hours.

If you read/watch all scenes it would probably take 150-200 hours your first play through if you stick to the MSQ (main story quests). I do not suggest rushing it if you really want the full impact of the story. Beware people that will tell you ARR is the worst content you will ever play in your life. IT IS NOT. Take your time to read/watch and understand why you are moving from A to B and it isn't bad at all. Are there some quests that are filler? Yes. They are not the majority of the experience.

Seems like longer. It took me several months. Although I didn't play every day. I am still in Stormblood however. Have not made it. Your required to do every dungeon in the game. Some of them twice. Plus watching all the cutscenes dungeons included and doing all the quests..and I did all the side quests to.

I suppose it also depends on how familiar you are with mmos in general. If you are new to them it will take longer. If you don't have time to put into it then it could take months. Like it or not mmos are a time investment.

You are the first person I've seen who thinks ARR wasn't trash. I need to stare at this comment for a little longer, commit it to memory.

-edit; Looks like I have to make this very clear that this is satire because people jump to the negative. smh

Seriously. You think the game is trash. Or am I misunderstanding your comment. Sorry but that is not the general consensus.

ARR wasn't trash. If it was the game would never have succeeded. It had some slow moments and unfortunate design choices due to the crunch to relaunch the game, but it wasn't trash.

Stop being a sheep. Form your own opinion. ARR was fantastic when it launched. If it wasn't you wouldn't have a game to play right now. As there were MANY subs at the time obviously I was not the only person who believed this.

I enjoyed all the story, even ARR. Some expansions are better than others but they are all good stories. In order of my favorite to least favorite: ShB-HW-ARR-SB.

Don't rush and enjoy the story and the journey.

About Halfway through Stormblood after starting fresh coming back, not skipping. 4 Days, 6 Hours, 27 minutes played. Add in AFK times of around 1-2 hours a day played due to dishes, laundry, youtube, queue times... I'd say in a real total 70-80 hours.

This is just doing MSQ though, a few side quests just for Aether Flight and Dungeon/Feature unlocks, but those only take a few minutes most times.
