Final Fantasy 16 campaign missions: How many main scenarios are there?

Final Fantasy XVI is finally here and you can jump into the shoes of Clive Rosfield, and go on his epic journey through the land of Valisthea. However, you might be wondering just how many missions there in the main campaign. For that, we have you covered.

Final Fantasy XVI is an epic story, and sports a long campaign for you to sink your teeth into. Even if you mainline through the central path and don’t indulge in the many side quests and activities, you are still looking at around 40 hours before you see the credits. 

However, knowing how many missions there are, and importantly how far along you are in the story is always helpful. Especially if you go out of your way to indulge in some of the side activities, it can be easy to lose track of where you are on the critical path. For when you return though, we have you covered. 

Here’s every main scenario in the game you need to complete in the game in order to finish it.

How many campaign quests are there in Final Fantasy 16?

Final Fantasy 16 features 49 main campaign missions. However, it does get a little more complicated, as there are certain smaller scenarios you have to work through at various points before you can progress your story. There are 18 of these smaller quests.  

All in all, it should take you around 35-45 hours to complete, though that is only the main scenario. It would be easy to inflate that play time to 70+ hours if you decided to do every side quest in the game.
