asdfen Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) many hours at least 60 more if you are not efficient. There is a lot of grinding in this game as is and for platinum the most grindy part is the arena where you have to repeat 50 of the same battles at least 10 times. that part is terrible and really time consuming. overall either you love combat system in this game and gun customization it comes with or you should stay away. Theoretically speed run of a playthrough is around 16 hours times two as game needs to be finished twice thats 32 plus arena another 5-10 hours so 40 hours if you are god of jrpgs and strictly going for trophies without enjoying the game and side stuff.

tuvuu48 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks, if I dont't worry about trophies my first playthrough will doing everything in the second playthrough affect the time need overall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfen Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 depends on how fast you are able to grasp combat mechanics now, most of combat scenarios for me last under a minute if you are going to do NG+ on the same difficulty and keep endgame gear you should be able to shave off some time off every combat scenario but not not that much. however when I first played this game and was terrible at it, combat rounds were a lot longer iirc sometimes around 5 min, heck I even remember dying and having to retry so depends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuvuu48 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 One more question, does arena progress carry over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuppa Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I enjoyed this game a lot when I played it on Xbox so I picked it up recently for our PS3. I checked my log and I think I put in around 120 hrs. However I grinded out all of my levels to above 100 for everything including thrown weapons. I think my first playthrough was about 110HRS and the second was only 10 as I could one shot almost every single enemy in the game. Don't know if we can link to the sister site so mods if we cannot please let me know: Help with Handgun and Thrown objects Edited April 30, 2014 by Yuppa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
