Over 100 hours of gameplay to complete the game to 100% completion provides a lot of gaming. Downside 20 hour compulsory tutorial through chapters 1 to 10 before the game picks up in its late chapters. The game has 64 side missions and game opens up after reaching chapter 11. Plenty to do after finishing the main story. The linearity of this game makes it hard to level up in the first 10 chapters of the game. |
You don't need to grind for the first 10 chapters. You need to grind on Gran Pulse(Chapter 11) because Chapter 12/13 would be impossible to do otherwise.
I think the lack of traditional towns and the linearity for the first half of the game makes sense story-wise.
