Seeing as this game has no multiplayer mode, it's a big downside for me. But at the same time i'm a huge fan of strategy RPGs. So what's the average playtime taken to finish this game? And also what's the replay value like?

Thanks.

Well, I think I beat the game in about 15 hours or so. It is not a long game by any means. However, there is DLC coming so that might help a little bit.

Replay value is there, but only for a little bit. You might want to go back and try to an A ranking for all the missions.

All in all, it is a brilliant strategy RPG that incorporates a brilliant new combat system and has a great story to go along side with it. If you can get it for a little cheaper price, I think it will be worth it...

either im just bad or your really good because this game took me alot longer than you to finish maybe 35ish hours

I am not the best gamer in the world, but I do have a lot of experience. I checked the save data and it says 19:54 so I apologize

I never got to lvl 20 with anyone though, I just went through the story, but i did get the highest level guns for all classes. I played again to get all the medals and stuff

Most of the chapters only have one battle, but some have 2 and most of the extra chapters have a battle as well. There's also the matter of just completing them or also going for things like the enemy ace weapons and best rank. The downloads are also along this line, giving you more battles and stuff to find.

Not to mention some of the stuff is only available on a clear game replay, and it's quite fun to take on early missions with better upgrades etc.

Took me 45 hours but that included skirmishes and optional missions.
