Summary
An immensely popular and long-running series,Fire Emblemfans have been reveling in some of the best games in the series since the revitalization of the franchise with the release of Fire Emblem Awakening.
These games, which often put you in the center of massive geopolitical conflicts that end with you going face-to-face with some divine being or another, are some of the best tactical roleplaying games you may find. If you’re looking to go on a journey through all the games in the series, we broke down how much time you will spend traveling through these brutal and fantastical lands.
Fire Emblem doesn’t have a whole lot of games and there’s rarely a link or connection between games so we kept them all together in one group. All these stats are fromHowlongtobeat.comas they’re a pretty good way to aggregate data.
How Long Would It Take To Beat Every Fire Emblem Game?
Fire Emblem might not have as many games in its library as other long-running series, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty available to keep fans occupied for hours. There are seventeen total games in the Fire Emblem series. Fourteen of those games are original releases, while three of them are remakes.
There are a few deviations in this count though, that make it a little difficult to add up. Fire Emblem: Fates is split up into two distinct games, Birthright and Conquest, and has a third game, Revelation, that was download only.
Whether your first introduction to thegames was by playing as MarthinSuper Smash Bros. Meleeor while you were looking for a great Nintendo 3DS games, diving into the Fire Emblem series is a huge undertaking.

What About All Those Fire Emblem Side Games?
There has only been one mobile game released in the Fire Emblem series, and that’s the wildly successful Fire Emblem Heroes. This game is like a massive crossover between all the games, while also bringing an original story to the games. That said, since it’s a mobile game with releases and new characters coming out regularly, there’s no real way to calculate how long it would take to complete it since the goal post is constantly moving.
Then there’s the curious case of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. This game is a fascinating crossover betweenShin Megami Tenseiand Fire Emblem, which takes place in modern-day Tokyo and has you summon Fire Emblem characters as if they were demons from the Shin Megami Tensei games. Tokyo Mirage Sessions feels much more like a SMT game than a Fire Emblem one but still has enough mechanics, references, and design to include in the series.
So, How Many Hours Would It Take To Beat All The Fire Emblem Games?
All in all, if you’re looking to complete the entire Fire Emblem franchise, including all the remakes and related games, you’re looking at around 739.5 hours of pure tactical intensity. That would take you more than 30 days of nonstop gaming to be able to finish just the main plot of the Fire Emblem games.
For those looking for the complete experience, that number climbs to a staggering 1796.5 hours or around 75 days of nonstop gaming. That’s not even including the number of times you’ll have to reset a stagedue to having your favorite characterdying in any number of frustrating and unfortunate ways.
