Is the game really a 100 hours or is that just people exaggerating ? I started playing it again after I dropped it for some personal reasons last year, I'm now 20 hours in and want to try and finish it before the end of the year. Is that possible ?
Yes, it is quite long. Think mine was like 80 or 90 hours. I blame Mementos though; locking confidants behind that.Is the game really a 100 hours or is that just people exaggerating ?

Honestly, if you hated P4, you will hate P5 with a passion. Too much padding. Dungeons, while not being randomly generated, are too long for their own good, and many times, boring. And unlike P4, the party isn't interesting nor memorable.

I finished it at 105 hours. It's certainly POSSIBLE to finish faster but unless you FLY through the game (mash through cutscenes, skip lots of social links and stuff) you're gonna be at 90+ hours.Is the game really a 100 hours or is that just people exaggerating ?

The average seems to be 96 hours:Is the game really a 100 hours or is that just people exaggerating ? I started playing it again after I dropped it for some personal reasons last year, I'm now 20 hours in and want to try and finish it before the end of the year. Is that possible ?
You are not jaded.I'm looking to pick up another PS4 one day (wanted a Pro, sold my Amateur) so I have a very short list of PS4 exclusive games I want to play, and Persona 5 is one of them. Based on the following, would I like this game?
-I despised Persona 4 Golden and dropped it after 10 hours. Never played Persona 3 or earlier
-I LOVED Tokyo Mirage Sessions, especially the audiovisual presentation.
-I did not enjoy Tokyo Xanadu and dropped it (mostly because it wasn't turn-based and I don't like dungeons)
-I LOVE Trails of Cold Steel
-I'm one of the few people that played, finished and LIKED the original first Neptunia game for PS3. Ditto on Time & Eternity!
-I hate games with any sort of time limit/limited time to perform functions (like Atelier games, which I keep trying and never liking)
So yeah. What are the chances?
I finished it at 84 hours flat.Is the game really a 100 hours or is that just people exaggerating ? I started playing it again after I dropped it for some personal reasons last year, I'm now 20 hours in and want to try and finish it before the end of the year. Is that possible ?
This is entirely subjective, but then so are assessments regarding length/overall engagement with the dungeons. Though I could largely go either way with those two parties, if I had to choose, I'd go with P5's minus one specific spoiler character (Joker has been the most successful attempt at injecting an Atlus silent protagonist with personality, though I admit to not understanding Makoto fans any more than Chie fans).Honestly, if you hated P4, you will hate P5 with a passion.

Mainline SMT doesn't seem like it would be of interest to OP based on the games listed (V will probably go back to the minimalist story/generally flat characters associated with it, rather than doing more of what IV:A tried).Don't get it. Just wait for the next SMT game to come out. P5 is amazing to people who's first Persona/SMT/JRPG that isn't accessible. If you like JRPGs and played a lot of them you'd see the game's fault and you might end up resenting how much time you spent on it to see it through.
I always want a give games a chance.
I didn't like Persona 4's endless red-carpet castle dungeons, the time-forced social management and general presentation (slow, blurry graphics/motion blur).

From P4, the only party members I don't like are Hanamura and Teddie. Otherwise, the rest of the characters are great.This is entirely subjective, but then so are assessments regarding length/overall engagement with the dungeons.

The gameplay and dungeon design improvements in P5, along with the better graphics, will probably make going back to P4G harder, so I'd say that then P5. The stories are standalone, so no need to worry about missing anything other than minor nods to previous games if you go with P5 first instead.Soooooo...since we have some Persona peeps in here I have a quick question:
Should I play P4G or P5 first? I've never played a Persona game, but i'm ready to give one of them a shot.
Personally, Makoto was the only one of them I didn't find particularly interesting, and couldn't have been more boring to me (I'm also a bit more harsh as a result of her not living up to the hype surrounding her). Morgana could get annoying, but I was ultimately okay with him. Ryuji was an improvement over previous "bro" characters. I quite liked Yusuke's eccentricity. I liked Ann, even if there was a lack of focus and some questionable decisions in handling her. Haru and Futaba were my overall favorites, even with the former definitely needing more screentime.From P4, the only party members I don't like are Hanamura and Teddie. Otherwise, the rest of the characters are great.
As for P5, only ones I find interesting are Joker, Makoto and Futaba. The cat is annoying. Ryuuji, while cool, doesn't stand out too much. Ann, boring. Yosuke, boring too. Haru could have been interesting but she joins too late. And you-know-who... better don't mention that character.
-The dungeons in p5 are not randomly generated, so they look better and feel like a proper place.I always want a give games a chance.

Have you played Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force?
I enjoyed that more than persona 5
No. Persona 5 gets boring at the middle arcs and at the last dungeon, DQ XI is boring from minute 1 to hour 60.I still love it, but Dragon Quest XI is way better and the game I'd recommend if someone wants a long ass-JRPG.

-Time focused social management is still there in full force (And in my opinion, it's even more constrained than it was in past games).
Is the game really a 100 hours or is that just people exaggerating ?
Not an exaggeration. I think a pretty typical play through can easily fall within that range. It doesn't have content to carry it that full distance... but it keeps going anyway.
Yep. The only way to make the game shorter (aside from skipping cutscenes) is ignoring all the social aspects and side activities, but then you'll miss really good combat bonuses and the good ending.Not an exaggeration.

Ehh.. give it a chance OP. You may like it
And you should be able to find it for like $25 - $30 now.
Plus it has the best ost of the gen..
No, P4G is the better game and if you won't like that you won't like P5.
