Why are people saying this is a 100+ hour game?

I beat it in 58 hours, hell I beat Golden in 64 hours.

I guess for all the social links and stuff?

Got true ending with Akechi promise and for golden the extra dungeon and also true ending.

If you listen to voice acting, it's easily another 20 hours just there.

If you're going 90s style and going text-only, you'll blast through it.

I rebooted and are in September, fastforwarding anything that I can, and are at 42 hours so far. Got around a million yen though.

Edit: I was only fast forwarding to the point where I rebooted, so going normal speed from end of summer vacation and forward. Just regretted a choice I made.

FYI: I have never completed it, so I am playing blindly onwards.

Just because you rush through games doing little of the content.. Thats no achievment.

I’m 120 hours in and in the third semester.

I don’t speed run or skip everything.

I suppose if you skip everything you could do it all in half the time easily.

Not saying I'll pat myself on the back for rushing through, and I didn't say I did little content, I maxed 5 confidants.

So you barley played the game then, maxing 5 confidants is pretty much passive progression.

Just 5 ??

To get to true ending you need to max 3 socials (or close to) at least which makes me think you're speedrunning this game with a guide on the side....

I wouldn't call that "beating the game" but rather "speedrunning it to the barest minimal so you can go on the steam forums to bait"... good job on that :P

I 100% the game in 120 hours, so if you skip most of the dialogue and don't do side content, I can definitely see it being done in that time frame

My first play-through was about 200 +

People don't max all confidants on the first playthrough? I thought that was a requirement to proceed past a certain point. Guess not.

Either way, combat can take up as much time as a person wants depending on how much they want to engage with it. On easy you don't have to engage with the combat mechanics much at all nor for long at all. On modded hard or merciless, engagement is required and fights will take longer.

Its already pretty clear that the OP probably had a guide open or played on safety/easy. Most first blind playthroughs if not all are pretty long. At least 80 hours if rushed. Idk if the op is trying to farm clown awards or here to gloat.

You skipped all the text I guess

5 out of 21 confidants maxed? Man your playthrough must have been really through.
