How long does it take to beat Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave?

I'll disclaim this by saying I haven't finished the last part of Fortune's Weave yet. Even so, the time I spent on the game can give you a good idea of how long it might take to finish Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. It took me 115 hours to reach the third section in the last arc in the normal/casual mode. Before that, I played two and a half Part 1 paths (Leda's, Theodora's, and only half of Cai's), and finished Part 2 only once with Leda.

One Part 1 path can take 40 to 50 hours, depending on how much time you invest in recruiting characters, collecting materials, opening the map, training, and leveling. When you complete a Part 1 path, the next path will be faster. When it comes to Part 2, it took me almost 10 hours to finish. You can skip Part 2 and go straight to Part 3, saving you some time if you want to, but risking losing the opportunity to level up units and experience important story development events.

We'll update this guide with a final time once we actually roll credits on the game.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave quest list

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is divided into one prologue, one interlude, and three parts. The structure of each part is different. Only the Part 1 quests are different for each protagonist, while you will play the same Part 2 War Arc and Part 3 Salvation Arc quests regardless of the paths you have completed.

By finishing one of the four Part 1 paths, you carry over characters you have recruited and items you obtained to the other parts. If you complete more than one Part 1 path, it's possible to choose which version of recruited characters you want to use in the later parts. You can return to Part 1 paths you have previously finished — or start one you haven't yet — even after starting Part 3. However, if you want to recruit new characters or unlock features in any Part 1 path, these changes will only reflect in Part 3 after you have completed all Part 1 quests again.
