How long?

[syncx86]

Do we know how long is the game? There are a lot of reviews + it seems people got early copies for PS4/Switch.

Most of the customer reviews of the Switch / PS4 version, which released in Japan on the 1st, are bad. Essentially, no one knows how long the game is, they stopped playing before getting far due to the long load times, clunky controls, and the terrible FPS in battles.

If anyone managed to finish the game, they must be a masochist by the sounds of it.

From my experience on Steam: It took me 17 hours to finish Loop8

Thanks. Are you a reviewer?

Was that one playthrough? Or is that more or less the full length?

I’m a Reviewer and will post my Steam review a few seconds after release - yes.
It was one playthrough with 2 loops. Casual players who are not playing as much videogames as I do will probably need more hours.

17+ hours is a great length. Hopefully the game is decent too.

If you know what you're doing, you can finish it in 7 hours because you don't do a lot of loops.
It took me a loop to understand what the game really wanted from me in order to get the hang of it.
The concept is absolutely amazing and I love the new ideas. But it's not "fun" to play through from what I experienced.
Visually impressive, but the gameplay loop paired with the same text messages and conversations over and over and over again just to maximize your stats...
It automatically escalates into a dull stat simulator, hence why a lot of reviewer (me included) don't really like it. Combat-wise it's barebones as well, especially since you can only navigate the main character and your party members act on their own.

You'll automatically skip a lot of conversations and at this point... a lot of people will dislike it.

Does anyone know now how long is to platinum the game and get ALL endings?
Is that still only 10-20 hours?

[digimon.movieOST]

ALL endings? There's one for each character so that's like 13 of them? Each run on NG+ will probably take you like at least 4-5 hours of just skipping dialogue and grinding your stats back up to max and grinding your party member affections back up to max, plus whoevers ending you pick. So, 60+ hours for platinum? It would be pretty miserable and an "ending" is about five lines of dialogue so very low reward for the effort but if you really wanted to I guess that will pad the clock out

[syncx86]

Huh, that sounds like a big disappointment. With most jRPG I enjoy to get all endings / platinum, etc, but this doesn't sound too enjoyable...

So you are saying that in this game it is not really worth it to get all of the endings, only 1 or 2 at most?

For me it took about maybe a good 8-9 hours to beat the game on the 3rd loop completely the 1st time once I understand how the system works. You're better off soloing if you don't wanna play babysitting party members.
