Is Octopath Traveler 2 Campaign Longer Than Other JRPGs?
Considering its 70-hour gameplay, Octopath Traveler 2 is definitely among the top ten longest JRPG games. It beats extensive games like The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Of Cold Steel 4, XenobladeChronicles X, and Suikoden 3. But it’s not as lengthy as Etrian Odyssey Nexus, Dragon Quest 7, and Persona 5 Royal.
Of course, other Square Enix games easily dwarf Octopath Traveler 2 regarding gameplay length. So, it’s not the company’s longest game. With a whopping 707-hour campaign, Final Fantasy 11 is the longest game by Square Enix.
