How Long Does It Take To Beat Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave?

Fire Emblem games are famously lengthy, and 2026's Fortune's Weave is no different.

The latest in Nintendo's strategy role-playing series has four protagonists, each with their own storyline to follow, and plenty of downtime between missions to keep you busy if you so wish.

So you know what you're getting yourself in for, this is how long it takes to beat Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

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

This is one of those 'how long is a piece of string?' situations, we're afraid.

Fortune's Weave's story is as long as you make it, with four protagonists to play through as much or as little as you please.

We'd recommend taking at least three of these characters with you into the final act, and if you play through each of them with a reasonable amount of side content under your belt, we imagine you'll wrap up the main story around the 80-hour mark.

Those who opt to take all four heroes into the finale will likely be sitting closer to 100 hours for main story completion, while anyone brave enough to go for fewer will naturally end up with a shorter completion time.

How long does it take to see everything in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave?

We don't have a precise figure for this one, but trust us when we say, it's a lot.

We polished off the main story for all four heroes, did a good amount of exploration and completed the paralogue missions, with over 150 hours under our belt. It's a ballpark figure, but hey, it's a big one.

By comparison, we pegged Fire Emblem: Three Houses at a more reasonable 76 hours, when you combine the main storyline and side content.
