i still have barely scratched Persona 5.

I almost picked this up at the Toys R Us "Clearance", but decided not to. I started 3 or 4 on the PS2 a while back, never made it very far though...

This looks like another massive time sink.

If you stick exclusively to the main story without a lot of side stuff looks like people can do it in about 40-50 hours.

If you want to explore and do side stuffs and do everything in the game you can easily put in 100.

I'm at about 60 hours and maybe 80% done with the main story, been pretty thorough in my exploration and side stuff.

A ton of that time is reading text and watching cut scenes. If someone were to skip over a lot of that stuff could save a ton of time, but in an RPG that seems sort of silly to do on a single playthrough.
