Battling in giant mechas, thwarting the plot of insane clowns, you name it, FFVI has it.  As my favorite game in the Final Fantasy franchise, I can safely claim that it has a story that behooves everyone to play it at least once.  For those who are wondering how long the game can take, it would depend on what kind of player you are.

Read on to find out how many hours you would need to set aside for FFVI

How Long To Beat Final Fantasy VI?

Due to how much dialogue the game could have as per usual with JRPGs, Final Fantasy VI can take 35 hours to complete if you’re shooting for just the story alone.  The world is rich with things to discover and talking to all the NPCs you encounter could be very rewarding for lore junkies. 

If you are like me, who can’t put down the game and want to explore everything it has to offer, it would take a minimum of 66 hours to go through, provided you want to get all the Magic, skills and the secret weapons the game has to offer.
