    2 runs of P4 total of 130 hours, then 90 hours for P3, then 30 hours for "the answer".

    250 hours of persona and i'm finally burnt out.... until persona 5.

    I'm nearing the 250 hour mark. That's for 3 play throughs, but sometimes I'll leave my Playstation on so that added a couple of unneeded hours.

    100hrs 15mins for my first run.

    I'd estimate that 10hrs of that was grinding for lvl92 (didn*t know about the trick at the time) and Velvet Room shenanigans.

    Have any of you guys played Persona 3?  I was wondering how long your first playthrough of that ended up being in comparison.  I was thinking about playing through that next and I want to know how many hours of my life it's going to consume.

    I don't know the exact number and I'm not going to pull out my copy to get the exact number, but I believe my first playthrough (w/true ending) was about 65-70hrs.

    This is a pretty good explanation of the so-called "pringle trick".  I suppose it's a bit of a spoiler mind, so if you haven't beaten the game you're reading it at your own risk.

    @etdragon: Persona 3 is a longer game. I think my final save for p3 was around 120 hrs whereas p4 was around 105. Of course, it'll probably take most people 60 or 70 hours-I just like to talk to every NPC. A lot of them have running stories that change every week or two, it's a lot of fun.

    @ashogo: Yeha, I did the same thing.  It put my playtimes for 3, and I think 4, well over 100 hours.  It was worth it for the little stories like the girl that follows that boy around in P3, though.

    98 hours and thirty minutes on my first playthrough, and I got the true ending. =) Though considering that sometimes I'd leave the PS2 to go do something I bet about an hour or 2 of that is just doing nothing.

    I'm working on my second playthrough.

    329 hours and 14 minutes for me. And that includes 1 run on Normal and 2 runs on Expert. For the record, my first run was 143 hours.

    Though I think there was one point when I kind of just left the game running for about 6 hours due to me falling asleep while playing it lol.
