The DioField Chronicle follows the story of the Blue Foxes, an elite band of mercenaries led by Andrias Rhondarson, Fredret Lester, Iscarion Colchester, and Waltaquin Redditch. As players become familiar with these characters, and start recruiting others, they may begin to wonder how long it will take them to complete this strategy RPG. This guide is here to shine some light on this matter and provide details on the length of The DioField Chronicle.
The DioField Chronicle: How Long to Beat
Players should expect to complete their first playthroughs of The DioField Chronicle in around 35 hours. This figure assumes that a fan will complete some, but not all, of the game's optional content, select Normal difficulty, and construct a party that is capable of doing reasonable amounts of damage. Indeed, players that deviate from any of these assumptions may find that they have added or subtracted a handful of hours from the experience.
While 35 hours is not an insignificant amount of time, there are ways to extend The DioField Chronicle beyond simply taking on more side quests or increasing the game's difficulty. For example, fans can consider going for the Platinum trophy, and there is one achievement in particular that is most likely to extend playtime. Specifically, that achievement is called Ultimate Mastery, and it may take players several additional hours to grind a character to Level 50.
Fans that really cannot get enough of The DioField Chronicle may also want to pursue a second playthrough on New Game Plus. While there is not a great deal of incentive to do this, New Game Plus does provide the opportunity for players to obtain duplicates of items that can only be found once the first time through the game. Some trophies can also be obtained more easily by rolling things over to a second playthrough, even though it should be possible to earn the Platinum without doing so.
After a player has finally had their fill of The DioField Chronicle, they may want to move onto another strategy RPG like the classic Final Fantasy Tactics or 2022's Triangle Strategy. While many of these games do not allow for the same freedom of movement, they may still scratch a similar itch. There are also countless RPGs with completely different battle systems that players can explore while they wait for something more akin to this Lancarse- and Square Enix-developed title to come along.
The DioField Chronicle is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
