      i’m so mixed on this and will have to see what some more reviews say.

      I ABSOLUTLY LOVED the initial game. and while new content and extra story could certainly be welcomed, i’m a little worried that too much narrative could detract from the desolate, explorative, show-don’t-tell nature of what made me love the original.

      I’m leaning towards getting this physically for Switch if performance is decent, but realistically I’m expecting to end up playing this on Steam Deck. My #1 reason I’m excited for the Switch 2 is so I can stop worrying about whether games will run.

      When I was younger and broke, I loved long jrpgs. Always felt like I was getting my money’s worth. Now though, I just don’t have time for an 80 hour campaign

      Sorry for being stupid as this is probably a stupid question. What is the difference between this and the one that came out quite a while back? I thought they were both 5 and I own the old one.

      Already played so, despite a different route my hype is 0.

      Note to self: Don’t buy any more Asus games at launch

      80 hours? Persona/SMT fans getting cheated out of a full length game for real

      Is this just DLC? Never heard of a 80 hr DLC before. It’s almost as if it’s a whole game.

      Was the game patched to improve performance or is it still rough?

      Already bought the launch version at full price. Gonna wait for a sale on this one.

      So I bought the original on Switch. Played a couple hours and dropped it. I got busy IRL and with a couple other games. Then when I was ready to go back to this one, Vengeance was announced. So I’m going to get it on PC.

      My question is I know a bunch of new content was added. Is it mixed in to the original story path or is it a separate chapter/epilogue you select from the main menu? I heard people talking about there being another route that changes the progress of the game but I feel like I don’t know how this new version works. I want to play it like its my first time again.

      80 hours? how the hell

      Are they just talking about the new one? Because the OG route was closer to 50-60
