    I finally beat the game today at lv 74 with 205 hours and all Confidants maxed out. There was a good amount of idle time when I'd leave the game running, but I always like to read text at a conversation pace and not speed read through stuff.

    It feels a bit said to know that such a huge game that I waited years for is finally over, but there is still the anime and side games to look forward to.

    120 something and I did almost everything. I was missing like 5-6 levels total to get all max level social links.

    About 115 hours for me to do most of everything on the first playthrough on hard. Doesn't include a few reloads/deaths.

    78 hours but after 40 hours I put the game on safe difficulty cause I couldn't bear with the combat anymore. I only maxed out three of the confidants and never looked at a guide either.

    You duders have way more endurance than me! I can't do a game that goes further than 40 hours.

    102 hours, level 72, all confidants on normal.

    Still surprised that the games is ~20 hours longer than the other ones. Doesn't feel it.

    123 hours. That was pretty much all game time, since I would back out or put the PS4 into rest mode whenever I needed to step away for a few minutes.

    I think it was around late 80s to early 90s for me. Definitely was ready to be done with the combat after that, but I still wanted to go back and max stuff out afterwards (ultimately I didn't because of the lack of straight-up skippable cutscenes and combat burnout).

    I "missed" the game for a solid 2 weeks after finishing it, and it was enough to make me not want to play any of the other games I was really excited to play in my vacation, and instead jumped into SMTIV and played that to completion. I'm sad there's no big turn-based JRPG on the horizon that I'm interested in after so many years waiting for P5 (and there probably won't be until Persona 6 gets announced).

    102 hours, level 96 (you bet your ass I farmed the Reaper in Mementos), and I maxed 16/21 confidants.

    I jumped right back in to New Game Plus and now I'm slowly making my way through again, I think I'm going to try and go for the Platinum trophy.

    I beat it in about 60 flat. Cranked down the difficulty at dungeon 5 and never looked back.

    90 something hours, I'd say, on average.

    115-120 sounds about right. I was missing four "normal" confidants and skipped the "fusion" confident because I didn't have an interest in using a calculator to max that one. I very nearly maxed the "hanged" confidant. With some better optimization I could definitely have maxed everything out in one playthrough.

    I had around 105 hours, but I stopped playing at the start of the boat dungeon because I hated all of them so much.

    Level 72, 125 hours, normal until the final dungeon. Maxed out 16 of the confidants. Romances Makoto. There were a couple I didn't even know about until later into the game like the fortune teller. My patience was starting to wear thin for the last few hours but I ultimately felt a little sad that it was done haha.

    About 130 with all confidants maxed and around 98% compendium. I think some NG+ stuff is behind the last 2%, but haven't really had the drive to start again, maybe will some day to do the Reaper and the secret boss. Was on normal difficulty, started on Hard but turned it off after getting annoyed with the ultra hit crit chance on random encounters resulting in SP drain and more days in dungeon (did this on the third dungeon).

    I looked at a guide for the fusion link but not much beyond that. Had a much easier time maxing then with Golden but that's probably mostly just a matter of experience.

    Ended up 79-80 i think, most confidants maxed because I never looked at a guide to try and maximize time, 115 hours there about. I was going into the final boss level 70 but the very last 2 mobs are super easy to insta-kill and give 10k xp so I spammed that to max everyone out. I think it took 105 to finish Persona 3 FES and somewhere around 90 to finish P4G so its on par

    I beat it last week. Clocked in at almost exactly 96 hours. That's almost 30h more than 4, and 20h more than 3 for me. So goddamn that was a long game. I was pretty burnt out on the combat in the last palace and had to take a lengthy break, but I'm very happy with it overall. Easily my favorite Persona! The soundtrack is goddamn amazing.

    Took me about 130 hours while only maxing maybe half or three quarters of the confidants and only getting to level 80 or so. Still feel like it ended a bit too soon : (

    I was about 140 hours with the confidants I wanted to max ~ level 73 - I spent a lot of time walking around doing stuff, reading and a bit of idling. I only really lost to one boss, and died in one palace so that's not a lot of replaying.

    Around 115 hours for the first playthrough with somewhere around 330 hours after experiencing everything I wanted and getting the platinum trophy. What a time.
