How Long to Beat Tales of Arise

Tales of Arise Game Length

Tales of Arise Game Length

According to Yusuke Tomizawa, beating Tales of Arise's Main Story alone can lead to 45+ hours of gameplay, story, and several side activities that you could pursue all around the game's fantasy setting. Players who wish to 100% the game can see their play times increase to 70+ hours.

40-50 Hours to Beat the Main Story

You can complete the main story of Tales of Arise on Story difficulty in 40 to 50 hours even if you read and watch every skit and cutscene. The estimated play time includes taking detours in each area for hidden items as well as doing short sub-quests.

Clear sub-quests if you didn't purchase the DLC

Artifacts that give you discounts from shops, EXP and SP boosts, starting items, and more are obtainable from the DLC packs. These items will make your playthrough much easier especially if you just focus in the story.

If you don't have any DLC packs, we recommend doing Sub-Quests for their rewards, especially those involving Gigant Zeugles as each of them drops an Astral Flower that raises your max CP by 10.

Sub-Quests Add ~12 Hours

NPC SubQuest Mail Icon
Unlike sidequests in games in the same genre, the Sub-Quests in Tales of Arise are short quests that can be found and done all across the game's world. Each new region visited contains several sub-quests, which all in all will add at most ~12 more hours to your play time.

If you have not installed any DLC, clearing sub-quests may be essential for you to get more CP-related items and rewards.
