Maybe you can run through it in a weekend or two.

·That is, assuming you don't go into dead ends - such as killing character X
and discovering 5 hours later that you needed character X to advance the plot
further, or striking a deal with some faction and then realizing the game sets
you up for auto death 3 hours later because the choice you took was a trap :-)

Listed playable time in gamefaqs is 22 to 24 hours.

Don't get too excited about Strife's allies. They are in for color mostly.
There is a moment in the game in which you lead an assault against a fortress
with the help of an army, and the allies are thrown in so it looks like an
actual battle. Sadly, your allies have pew-pew guns while enemies have giant
robots with flamethrowers and rocket launchers and shit.
