In terms of story completion, fans should expect to play through a total of 14 chapters, with the final chapter being labeled as a finale. When taking cutscenes into account, simply beating the game and its final boss will take the player around 25-30 hours, depending on difficulty and how fast they rush through everything. With the inclusion of substories, minigames, unlockable abilities, and Another Life, 100% completion can easily take over 100 hours in total.
