7 Long Tactical RPGs That Take Forever to Complete, Ranked

Josh Cotts — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 22:45:12 GMT

With Star Wars Zero Company and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave both on the way, I've had tactical RPGs on the brain quite a bit lately, and naturally, that also means thinking about just how much time these games can take up. That's not necessarily a bad thing, either. In fact, I'd argue that's part of what makes the genre such an easy buy for an RPG fan like myself. It's already hard enough to put one of these games down when there are generally so many different story routes to take or character builds to try, but when all of that is packed into a game that can take well over 100 hours to fully complete, suddenly you've got something that can keep you busy for a very long time.

There are plenty of games nowadays that are based on books. One of the biggest examples has to be The Witcher and all of its sequels.

The HD-2D art style pioneered by Team Asano with the original Octopath Traveler has proven to have a legacy that extends well beyond its source, going on to inspire plenty of other modern JRPGs and serving as a foundation for how classics in the genre can be remade for modern audiences. Following its work on this year's Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Team Asano was known to be working on similar remakes of the first two titles in the Dragon Quest series, but recent comments from studio head Tomoya Asano seem to point to the team having multiple projects slated for release in 2025. Given the studio's work on original IP and its penchant for reimagining classic games, this opens up plenty of theories as to what those projects might be.
