great game, but sooooooooo damn long

this is an excellent game, but Holy God is it long

I played the FES version last year and it took me over two months to beat and I played it almost daily

while I'm sure I probably played Grand Theft Auto 3 or Vice City longer back in the day, most of that time was spent just messing around and exploring the city, as far as playing the actual game goes I think Persona 3 FES may very well be the longest game I've ever played

I want to play Persona 4, but at the same time I'm dreading it because I've heard it's even longer and ohhhhh boy, I don't know when I could a few extra months to try to play it (if only I had a time machine)

I also want to replay Persona 3 one day and see what I missed, but who knows if I'll ever have the time to do that (at least I can skip replaying The Answer)

back in 98 I did a titty comedy for Skinemax. Sex Camp, ya remember it?

Really? It only took me about two and a half weeks to be FES, on the first play though, not knowing what all I needed to do, and exploring everything.

Persona 4 is actually a shorter game, it just takes longer to get into, because it takes about three to four hours to get control of your character and do things beyond strictly following the story, as opposed to the hour and a half or so in Persona 3.

"The Crow" is the best "Comic book/graphic novel" movie. It's true.

how the hell did you manage to beat it in two and a half weeks?

I forgot to mention that a big reason why it took me so long to beat was because I grinded as much a I could to level up, I did so because I had never beaten a turn based JRPG before and was determined to beat this one

I've still yet to play Persona 4, it's on my to do list for sometime next year though

It wasn't very hard to do. I just played through the main story. Didn't even really grind. didn't have to. The boss fights were a bit harder, but I managed all right.

I still prefer 3FES to 4, but 4's a great game.

well perhaps I was a bit overzealous, that's good to know at least if I ever want to replay Persona 3

yeah freakin' right

unfortunately after all these years I still have yet to play Persona 4 and at this rate it's looking like I never will, to be blunt, I just don't have the time to devote to one single game

never say never though I guess...
