If you're just focusing on completing the main storyline, you're looking at it taking around 49 hours to complete the game and see the first ending.

However, the first ending you unlock in the game is not the true ending. Once you have seen this ending, you unlock additional content you can complete including a new area, a new job, new boss battles, and of course — the true ending.

If you're looking to 100% the game by unlocking all jobs, completing all quests, raising your maximum job level, and of course, getting that true ending, you'll easily be looking at investing 87 hours into the game. Of course, if you stick to just the initial campaign and then only want to burn through the additional content to get the true ending, you'll be looking at less time to complete it.
