Basically: 
 

• Catherine has been in development for 2 years now.
• The game will be fully voiced.
• There will be multiple endings.
• It will take players approximately 20 hours to finish the game during their first playthrough.
• There will be difficulty settings.

I knew it wouldn't happen, but I was hoping for a 60+ Hr long game. 20's not bad though, and the multiple endings will probably add a ton of replay value, if they're worth going after.
 
Sounds great, I can't wait to play it.

2 years and we heard nothing til now ? 
Thats rare nowadays! 
I honestly can't wait for this game, i know nothing about it - the characters, or the series but i am so intrigued xD

Sounds pretty standard for a story-driven game like this. Nothing on the actual gameplay itself though which is what I'm more curious about (aside from the weirdness of it all).

Hurm... It's a good length given that it's not meant to be an RPG.
 
I hope the game mechanics are enjoyable enough to play through multiple times for different endings.
 
With the advent of Youtube I don't replay such games unless I really enjoy playing them.

I really really want to see more gameplay. Deadly Premonition took me around 20 hours my first time through, so I'm fine with that length.

This is a pretty good length considering how its not a RPG. Even with games like GTA IV you can finish it under 30 hours if you don't screw around and only gun for the story moving missions. Probably better examples out there though.

どうもありがとうございます！
If it weren't for Giant Bombers posting news about this game, I would be totally in the dark.

I wonder if the endings go:
 

• True ending
• Good ending
• Bad ending
• YOUJUSTFUCKEDEVERYTHING ending

20 hours is pretty good. I'm interested in this game, so it's good to know that even if I don't end up enjoying it as much as Persona 3 or 4, I won't have to worry about putting in the massive amounts of hours I did into those games.

Ugh.
 
I will never understand people who want every game to be 60 hours.
 
If you took offense to that last statement, then you are one of those people.  Don't lie and say you aren't.

" @Catolf:  A secret ending would be awesome, and all the SMT games I've played have Uber hard secret bosses.  Which reminds me, I still need to get the real ending in Nocturne, though that will likely take many many many many many many many many many hours of grinding. "

" @Brodehouse:  I don't want EVERY game to be 60 hours, but seeing as this is from a company whose games usually last 40+ hours, I was hoping for a looooooooooooooooooong game. "

20 hours for a non-RPG game? Sounds great to me! "

When I see a game that promises 60+ hours of gameplay, I see a director in need of an editor.  Give me the absolute best stuff you got, not 20 great hours spread among 40 hours of repetitive bullcrap.  Would any of the Persona games be worse if you cut the grinding out?  No, they'd be incredible.

I just hope this gets an English (language) PAL release :)
