How Long is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth? Full Chapters and Missions List

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the second entry in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, and it picks up immediately after the party escapes Midgar at the end of Remake. While Remake took us through the events of Midgar, Rebirth takes us to the rest of the world in an open-world format, taking us to multiple regions full of side quests, minigames, and a ton of optional content.

And with the game’s recent launch on the Switch 2, and the ongoing sale since the reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, we’re getting a lot of new players experiencing Rebirth and Remake. One question that you’ll be asking is how long it takes to finish the game and how many chapters are in the main story.

Here’s everything you need to know about how long it takes to beat Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and how many chapters the game has.

How Long Does It Take to Beat Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

The length and play time that you’ll get from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth depend on how much optional content you choose to complete.

According to Square Enix, the main story takes roughly 40 hours to finish. But from our own playthrough and general community experiences, it’s closer to 50-60 hours for a standard playthrough that includes some exploration and side content.

Here’s a general estimate of playtime:

Play StyleEstimated Time

Main Story Only	35-50 Hours
Main Story + Some Side Content	55-70 Hours
Completionist Playthrough	90-100+ Hours

The game’s enormous amount of optional content is a big part of its overall length. We have the option to do regional side quests, World Intel objectives, summon shrines, Chocobo activities, Queen’s Blood card matches, mini-games, combat challenges, and much more.

Unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which was largely linear, Rebirth is all about exploring the multiple regions of Gaia, making it one of the biggest Final Fantasy games in recent years.
