From IGN:
> So for this game, the main motivation for this game is typically not to go to the end roll [credits]. The whole concept is to create the world with Pokemon and live with the Pokemon. However, as an average, it’ll be about 20 to 40 hours, but it would really depend on how the players play the game.
>
> There’s more things to experience after the end roll [credits]. So it depends on what you mean by contents, but I believe that players are encouraged to and will be motivated to continue to play the game.

This game looks mediocre
Wettowel024
it looks like a game im gonna enjoy, play alot in the beginning and then play it rolating with other games.
this and tomodachi life are gonna be fun
Fable_and_Fire
Kinda bad timing with the Animal Crossing update, massive Dreamlight Valley upgrade for Switch 2 and the Tomodachi Life stuff coming out. That’s 4 life sims at once when most people only need one.

I’m still curious about the content in this game, I’m inclined to think that this is DQ Builders but with pokemon, but I haven’t seen much of DQ Builders in what they showed so far

Interesting that you can “beat” the game. I thought it would be like Animal Crossing
echoess84
Has the game a story? I read there are no quests/ sidequests
leckmichnervnit
You can “beat” the Game? Hopefully like a “Beat the Enderdragon” kinda way where that part is more like a Tutorial for the Open Ended Gameplay, than the actual End.

Cursed to be on keycard, automatic pass for me
SwashNBuckle
I just got into Fantasy Life i and that’ll be a tough act to follow, so I’ll probably give this one a try further down the road.

If Tomadachi Life had a native S2 version I might not even have considered this game, but it might scratch a similar itch I’ve had since AC

First game that makes me actually regret not having Switch 2 but one dq builders/ac-like is way too little for me to switch (*cough*) from Switch.
AffectionateLake4041
it’s a key card so I don’t care about the game. Even if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be high on my radar
Hummer77x
How does this compare to dragon quest builders, for those that play that? Since it’s the same devs and all.
I’m leaning more towards getting this on release than I was but gonna wait for reviews
zzinolol
20-40 is a pretty wide gap lol
Dogesneakers
Is this Pokemon animal crossing?
efcseany
Fingers crossed there’s shinies to some extent 😂
Victor_Vicarious
No thanks. I’ll wait for the Palworld version.

20 hrs for a $100 game is crazy. I want it but the price point doesn’t make sense.
Edit: not sure why I’m being downvoted, no everyone is from the US
Rothgardius
Hold on, this is a game you can beat? It seems like just a city builder – meant to go on forever kind of thing.

pokémon za i’m at 40+ and just finished main mission
Thoraxekicksazz
I am still stuck on the game being a key card for a Nintendo game.
GameMaster1178
Still odd that they used a game key card
Trashcomment
Fantasy Life got an update and I’m like 110+ hours in and still need more things for my farm
j1t1
Sounds neat, can wait to play it.
nalk1710
Is it going to be online multiplayer?
Hollymollythatshuge
But it’s a GKC.

This thread shows how many people here lack reading comprehension.
They say that the story stuff is about 20-40h and people on the minute the game completely shuts down and you can’t do anything anymore.
Obviously just like Animal crossing shuts down after 20h. Oh wait, it doesn’t? Smh
Spruchy
Thats a huge range lol

Most games are “20-40 hours” or less if just doing story stuff, so I’m not sure why its an issue here when theyre also saying there’s more to do afterwards – so you could probably easily go beyond 40 hours. Going by howlongtobeat it’s similar/ longer than some of these:
God of War Ragnarok – Story 26 hours, Completionist 55 hours
Metal Gear Solid Delta – Story 12 hours, completionist 25 hours
DK Bananza – Story 19 hours, completionist 48 hours
Ghost of Yotei – Story 29 hours, completionist 59 hours
Last of Us Part II – Story 23 hours, completionist 43
Resident Evil Village – Story 10 hours, completionist 38 hours
Portal 2 – Story 8 hours, completionist 22 hours

I really wish I had gotten the Nintendo 2 bundle for $375 when it was on sale
theguy6631
Wished it was 100h at least
2-Skinny
Wow a whole 40 hours?!
Chesu
Alright, but will it have a fully physical release I can play with no internet? I obviously have an internet connection, and never sell my games, but I’ll be damned if I buy a physical game case with what is functionally just a download code inside
MHarrisGGG
We could have had like…anything else.
Squirrelluver369
Still not worth $70 for a digital code.

Didn’t realise which sub I was in for a sec. Goodbye

I like the art style more than the main line series art style. Not a fan of that tbh.
