Beating the main story only gives you a glimpse of what Granblue Fantasy Relink has to offer. A lot of the replayability and progression come once you beat the main story. This will unlock several new features and difficulties that you can sink dozens of hours into easily. The main story only lets you play through normal difficulty quests and has over half the weapons and mastery trees locked.
Once you head into the post-game content, you can look to acquire and max out all these weapons. There will also be several more difficulties for you to play through. Playing with friends also gives the game a lot more replayability, and that is to speak nothing of the incredibly challenging endgame content that requires a team of fully optimised characters.
With a decent estimate, we can say that maxing out a team of four characters for the endgame can easily take up to 80-100 hours. That leaves 17 more characters left for you to max out! Did we mention that Cygames plans on adding more challenging endgame content and characters to Granblue Fantasy Relink?
Those looking to just play the main story and post-game can look forward to a good 30 hours of gameplay. However, those looking to reach and master the endgame content of Granblue Fantasy Relink will be spending around a hundred hours on this title.
