How Long Is Another Eden Begins? Playtime & Chapters

About 25 hours or less for the story, before you touch the 100+ side quests — that is the clearest number in published coverage: RPGFan's reviewer cleared the game in "fewer than 25 hours" while attempting to complete every character arc. No official playtime figure exists on the store pages, so treat this as a reviewer data point, not a promise.

What the published numbers say

Milestone	Time	Source
Demo (100% walkthrough)	7 hours	Video walkthrough description (single source)
Full first playthrough	Fewer than 25 hours — while attempting 100+ character quests	RPGFan review (single source)
Demo coverage	First story chapters only	Community discussion (single source)

The demo is substantial: a 100% demo walkthrough ran about 7 hours, and forum chatter on the demo's release day debated how many chapters it covers — treat exact chapter counts as unconfirmed (to confirm).

Why the "how long" answer is complicated

The structure of Another Eden Begins makes playtime swing wildly depending on how you play:

• Main story only: the published walkthrough splits the first arc into eight chapters; the pacing is your call since sources deliberately skip dungeon-by-dungeon detail.
• Character completion: ~20 characters, most recruited via three-part Ally Quests, each character carrying ~5 personal quests — RPGFan counts over 100 quests total (single source).
• New Game+: a second playthrough is where 10+ endings and new story elements live — the marketing point reviewers highlight. Time spent there is entirely up to you (single source).

Chapter count

The published walkthrough (RPG Site) covers the story in eight named chapters, from Dawn Rises in Baruoki through Palsifal Palace: Heed the Wishes of the Oracle — but that is the guide's structure, not necessarily the game's own act count.
