Nomura said there'd be around forty hours of solid gameplay. Multiply that by two if you plan on doing Critical Mode. You have to beat it once on Proud Mode to play Critical Mode.
Lol I am asking the simple story progression...like how long it takes you to complete the game with very little dabbing into the side quests stuff.
Um... No? Don't you have to just clear the game before playing Critical? I didn't read anything about playing Proud to unlock the harder difficulty. :v
It took me about 25 hours. I spent quite a bit of time doing dream eater stuff. But most of the time it was me just going through the game.
