No rushing needed. Easily beaten in 30 hours completeitionist. HLB has inaccurate overstated recording as they work hand in hand with game companies.

According to HLTB: Of 759 players, only 140 finish it in 45 hours or less, which sets you in the Main + Extra "rushed" category. This contradicts the very first statement you made (no rush).

HLTB also says 99 hrs on average for completionists, "Main + Sidequests"-runs on average are 70 hrs. So 80 hrs is not excessive, it's the norm - which also contradicts your second statement.

Who cares what that site says?! Seriously, jeez?!
I tell you: I didn't rush, I did most site quests (I saved some of that and the demon codex for NG+ since you normally play these games more than once and I was on LV 89 in the end).

I'd now say: It was faster because I already knew the base game but I looked it up on the Switch: It took me ~45hrs for the Creation Switch Base game as well. So I maybe even a little less than that because I knew the base system already but took some more time figuring out the (vastly) more interesting new bosses. The new region is about the size of the old one and they didn't really add any content (like another region) that stretches the length.

So if you're new to the series, know some tactical RPGs or even Persona games/SMT games and don't do absolutely everything on Normal, you should look at a playtime of around 50 hours total.

That being said: I don't know why you're so insistent to pad the games length?! If the game was more than 50hrs, I would have been immensly bored, the main campaign doesn't overstay its welcome in this game, it's exactly right in length. Persona games I often find ~10 hours too long for their own good.

I'm about to 100% all achievements. Am 124 hours in, I think I will need approx 2 more hours and then I am done. Tough I think I had an entire extra unnecessary playthrough so I guess 100% the game is doable between 110 and 126 hours.
