    A good 4+ hours of fun.

    The Final Fantasy XVI demo is extremely popular right now, but how long is it? This is something that might intrigue Final Fantasy fans or those wanting to check out the demo, as the length can be a decider on whether to check it out or not.

    The XVI demo is broken up into two separate sections, one being the Prologue and the other Special Battle. Here is everything you need to know about the length of the Final Fantasy XVI demo.

    The Prologue portion of the demo is roughly two and a half hours, and the Special Battle section is roughly two hours. This and more details from the PS Blog can be found below.

    The demo will give PlayStation 5 players a taste of the game’s vibrant world and fast-paced action combat with two lengthy sections showcasing what you can expect from FFXVI. The first is the game’s opening prologue, approximately a two and half hour slice of gameplay giving players insight into Clive Rosfield’s past and the events that set him on his present day journey.  Save data from this portion can be carried over to the main game when it launches next week.

    Completing the prologue then unlocks a special battle demo, approximately a two-hour, action-heavy segment. This features an infiltration of a fort at night, with Clive supported on his mission by his faithful wolf Torgal and Cidolfus Telamon. You’ll encounter various enemies and epic bosses. While you won’t be able to save your progress in this segment of the demo, it will let you test out the fuller range of combat options by way of numerous unlocked abilities and accessories. This can be replayed as many times as you’d like, giving players a head start on experiencing Clive’s full-fledged action battles.
