Joe111eleven111 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 It took me 174 hours according to the timer on the save file. I could have shaved off about 50 of those hours if I used a guide on my first playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverendSID Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Somewhere between 150 and 160. (don't have the system in front of me atm) No guide on first run and a fair amount of farming on my second. Probably could have gotten it down to 110 or so if I hadn't messed around as much. Oh, and an extra half hour maybe for the Quiz trophy. Faster if you skip the opening videos.

sonic0967 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Considering I'm mid June and 30+ hours in on my first playthough (On very easy no less) This one is definitely in the 100+ catagory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj1122 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 161 hours for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tii Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) On my first playthrough (going for platinum a second time) I've made it at 47hrs. The second playthrough should take no longer than 30-40 as well I presume. Id say around 80-100hrs if you've played Persona 4 before and 120-140 if it's your first time. EDIT: Got the platinum in 66hrs during my third Plat run. Edited March 26, 2014 by Tii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alizia Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It took me 100 hours exactly to get mine. I beat P4 once before on the PS2, and I did a regular playthrough on Hard first just going at my own pace/watching all the cutscenes and such, and the second playthrough following the max social link guide. Spent the last seven hours purely going after the HRF trophy and the skill card trophy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think that I got platinum around 99 to 126 hrs. But on my first playthrough, I just went around not really focusing on the story too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joooooink Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It's easily 100+ unless you've already know the game from before and skip all dialogue and such. But for a first time player it sure takes time. Don't remember my actual time, but I'm guessing around 125h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomgun Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Never played a whole lot of J-RPGs in my life, Devil Summoner Soul Hackers was basically the only other J-RPG I've ever got addicted to and spent a lot of time playing other than P4G, and I played Soul Hackers on Sega Saturn so thats a VERY LONG time ago. First time playing P4G it took me roughly 140 hours to plat (Korean trophy list) and the second time took about 120 hours (North American trophy list). Currently taking on the Japanese list and it would most likely require over 100 hours again. It is also worth nothing that 140 hours isn't the actual time, it's only what it says on the game's save file when I've unlocked the plat, there were numerous cases where I missed something and had to reload an earlier save file in order to avoid forcing myself into a new playthrough, so these said game times were off the record, but I can be sure to say there's more than 5 hours of these lost game time. After reading comments from above it appears even for J-RPG veterans or people that has played vanilla P4, its still gonna take them over 100 hours to plat this title, so there really is no other better option than voting 100+ hours for P4G.

VazzVegas Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 160 hours for me. 1st playthrough was 102 hours alone. Be sure to take advantage of the fast-forward option by pressing during conversations on your 2nd playthrough. Holding was way too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitmanSB07 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Took me ~110 hours, the first took about 85 for me and the second was far quicker because the only text I read was the social link dialogue that I missed on the first playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fultz7 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Definitely over 100 for me. I'm at 170 and still grinding for Hardcore Risette Fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunlit Garden Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Took me over 100 hours as well. I think it was around 120 by the time I finished my second playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugiwara84 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 140 hours finished my second playthrough. Had hardcore Risette trophy on my first playthrough and now on my second I somehow fucked up getting all social links and have to do a third one. Only had 2 left for Naoto and 1 for hermit, couldn't catch the sea guardian in februari. Tried hours and hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdubs Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 119 for me.. 3 playthroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepEyes Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Just got the plat... 130 hours... 2 playthroughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagain666 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Took me 138 hours on the save file plus quite some time checking guides etc. so I'd say 140 hours on 2 playthroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liammcmullen92 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I really want to get the platinum on this game because I really love it, but its such a commitment and I've only got so much time to play other games, especially on Vita due to PS+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagzero Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I really want to get the platinum on this game because I really love it, but its such a commitment and I've only got so much time to play other games, especially on Vita due to PS+ I felt the same way when I first started, but I've never played a game where the hours have flown so quickly. I'm near the end of my first run at 81 hrs, and it feels like I just begun -- so no way I'm moving on before I get plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTIverson Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Does this question even need to be asked? It has to be 100+ for 99% of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipsy Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 First time Persona player here... took me 98 hours to finish my 1st playthrough (having read all text/watched all cutscenes, and a few hours of training here and there etc. etc.). You can probably get the platinum relatively fast (for a JRPG) but you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate the game in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theking123 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It took me 140hrs so yh is definitely a 100hr+ platnum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalamoochicken Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) It took me 141 hours, but I messed up my first playthrough of the game and didn't get the true ending so I had to play it through three times. Still definitely a 100+ hour plat though. Edited June 25, 2014 by vivalamoochicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 103 Hours on my first playthrough - Normal difficulty + Golden ending + % 80 of the persona compedium (Creating new personas just for fun and discovering them by myself without a guide). My clean up playthrough will take about 40 hours since I'm skipping all dialog and playing on very easy just to get the Social Links trophy and new game plus trophies.
