FFBE background
The game adapts Brave Exvius’s first-season journey for a premium RPG, with turn-based timelines, Visions and Espers. Returning names do not mean the mobile game’s account, currency or roster transfers. New players can start here; the available demo introduces the opening and supports compatible full-game progress transfer.
Allow time by your goal
Published estimates describe different scopes: official prelaunch material cited roughly 30–40 hours, while a later reported main-story range was 20–30 hours and broad completion around 70. Treat those as planning ranges, not a fixed timer. Optional trials, reading, difficulty and collection searches change the result substantially. Start with the opening checklist, then choose the completion route if optional challenges matter to you.
