QUICK ANSWER

The official sources checked do not give a reliable completion-time estimate. We do not publish an invented hour count.

What does progression involve?

Progression includes quests and bosses that open access to further islands. Completion time will depend on your group and play style.

Collecting rare fish variants and pursuing achievements are different goals from finishing the main progression.

Do not treat a single player’s speedrun as a normal playthrough estimate. Decide with your group whether you are progressing or exploring.

A useful estimate needs multiple dated player reports and a clear definition of completion. Until then, we leave the hour count unconfirmed.
