In recent years, the Final Fantasy series on PlayStation systems has been somewhat quiet in terms of new releases, but 2013 changes all that by bringing us the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. - PSLS
You guessed it: you will need a lot of hours to beat every FF. But maybe not as many as you would think.
According to Howlongtobeat and this post, 489 hours, not including any spinsoffs, sequels or the two MMO's (FFXI and FFXIV).
That means, 1 to 16 + 7 Remake, excluding X-2, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, XI and XIV.
I"ve actually been running through all main games myself, but doing Platinum runs on each, including the sequels (Excluding XI and XIV).
I have played through them all countless times thou, and in remasters where I could speed up combat and exp gain, I've used it.
Took me around 1100 hours on fresh account, but now I'm exhausted and super ready for Rebirth.
At this stage good luck you're better off picking a entry point and sticking with that
Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?
I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.

FF8 for me. The Lionheart was just too BEASTLY. =]
Never been a fan of the series but I do wonder how the sales figures went throughout the series.
FFIX is still my all-time favorite, but X is a close second.
