There is a staggering amount of content packed into Xenoblade Chronicles 3. While the main story can be completed in about 50 hours, there are hundreds of more hours of content hidden in every environment that the player travels through. Knowing how long a game is, however, can be extremely helpful if you’re looking to pace yourself. With a game as big as Xenoblade Chronicles 3, you’ll certainly need it.
Luckily, the game is broken up into easily identifiable chapters. This gives players a good sense of the different dramatic arcs within the game, but since it doesn’t tell the player how many chapters are included, it’s not a perfect way of understanding the game’s pacing.
