How Long is Final Fantasy XIV before Endwalker?

One expansive journey.

With the release of Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker, players can finally get their hands on the highly anticipated expansion and experience the latest chapter in the Final Fantasy XIV saga. Though the expansion is out, new players wonder how long it will take to hit this newest batch of content.
