How much more do I have left in this game?

Hello all. I am currently playing this game on PS at the moment, and I just got to the part in Saejima’s story where you fight Baba

I really liked Kiryu’s story section, but Saejima’s so far is extremely boring, in my opinion. And the only thing I know about this game is that it’s very long and I think there are two more characters left to play as. How many hours do I left from this point?

I really enjoyed all of the Yakuza games so far, but it seems 5 is just an absolute slog right now.

Ignore the side content until later. once you beat the main story, you can pick the person you want and do their content. The game is not that long like around a typical yakuza games length if you do that and you wont burn out on someone you dont care about.

Yakuza 5 is one of the longest games in the series, of course 7 is up there too and infinite wealth

I made some more progress, I’m on chapter 1 of Haruka’s story, just after the first big story battle. I’m cool with more of Akiyama, he’s easily one of my favorite characters so far

That’s pretty much what I am doing, I’m just B-lining the main storyline. I might have to watch a synopsis video of this game because I tuned out a lot after Kiryu’s story. I don’t dislike Saejima or anything, but that prison section went on for way too long, and I wasn’t a fan of the hunting portion, seemed like the story just slowed the hell down for me

Just a major heads up, Yakuza 5 is the only game in the series, afaik, that will not let you make a clear save from Premium Adventure. So, if you're looking to get all the achievements or do a 100% or near run, you have two choices. One, is to do as much stuff as you want during each characters arc and then finish up the CP list in the Finale where everyone comes to together (you get like 3 days so be careful about moving time forward for things like getting fish). Or you can blow through the story and then try to do everything on Legend in NG+ or in Premium Adventure after that. I would say it's probably better to do everything (like the arena) on your first run.

Ofc, that is only if you care about completing the CP list and/or getting all the achievements.

Nah, once this main story is over, I’m onto Yakuza 6. I might do longer playthoughs of the older games, but not this one.
