Just thought to ask to get this community rolling. What's everyone's number of hours for each entry? They're quite big games but it feels like time just flies playing these titles.
For myself, I only played DE and 2 (currently busy with this one), and I expected them to be around equal length but it seems I was wrong in that respect.
Spent about 100 hrs in DE (powered through the last bit from Lorithia onwards since I just wanted to wrap up the story and see where it would go at that point).
For XC2 I am at around the same playgime but I'm still messing around in Tantal (ch7 I think? Been spending too much time maxing affinity charts for rare blades and doing blade missions, need me those field skills haha), so it will likely be at least twice that amount before I finish (if I don't burn out before then).
This also makes me wonder about XC3, is it more akin to DE lengthwise, or does it have similar mechanisms as XC2 to keep you engaged (and waste time not moving the story forward)?
Love to hear your stories, and whether you felt the time was well spent (some of these blades just seem not worth the effort...)
oof. I can't give actual numbers, but since a friend introduced me to the series half a year ago I've played several. When I stream or, in this case, play with a friend watching IRL-letsplay-style it feels awkward lingering or dawdling for too long on side content or mechanical systems so my playthroughs are fairly focused.
The plan at the moment is to finish XS2, XS3, Gears, and then XBX. My goal is to be caught up with everything by the next game/DLC/installment.
