There's a lot of video game in Star Ocean: The Divine Force. Especially when lined up against its direct predecessor, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, The Divine Force feels meaty. That's a good thing — JRPGs are often at their strongest when there's a ton of content to get lost in along the way to all that world-saving.

Yet even in games with so much to do, the actual clock counters between them can vary wildly. That's why we've peered into the overall consensus on Star Ocean: The Divine Force's runtime, so you know how much to set aside for Raymond, Laeticia, and the rest of this cool cast.

If your goal is to get through the core Star Ocean: The Divine Force experience without stopping for much side content along the way, the game is going to feel significantly more streamlined. That's not to say it's short by any stretch, but it's hardly the behemoth of, say, a 2022 JRPG peer like Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Rather, you're looking at around 33 hours. Again, it's worth repeating in case you find this too short that this includes none of the plethora of side content. Think how quickly one can sprint through Final Fantasy 10 in such a manner!

That tracks, really. There are all sorts of private actions to trigger to help you get to know the cast better. Even more time will be spent perfecting all your crafting, upgrading DUMA, and lest we somehow forget, building the perfect Es'owa deck.
