Current Events > The dungeons in Persona 5 are too long.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I love the game, but so many times they say "the treasure is really close!" only to open up to another entire section... great game, but 95 hours in Im ready to move on but no end in sight.

For me the only one that was exceptionally long was Shiro's cruise ship. The ones that came before it were acceptable length, imo.

The good(?) news is that the cruise ship is the last "dungeon". There is some gameplay afterwards but it's akin to a stint in momentos.

the game is way too long in general imo
---

I only felt the fifth and last ones were too long imo.
---

they just seem long because most people try to do them in one day
---

The only long one is shido's cruiser

That's the most efficient way to play the game

Cruiser is one of the shortest but that mouse mini game puzzle was bs and not well implemented.

The space ship was total bs though.

And of course the very last dungeon is just... hope you cleared mementos floors as they unlocked or else even without all the fights, you'll be there for a long while just to get to the next part of the dungeon

5-7 were too long for me, 6 was good but it could've been a little shorter, then 7 dragged on with the stupid mouse stuff. 5 was just a bad dungeon

the rest of the game drags too, it should've ended at 7

The space ship is the one I am on now and what triggered this salty rant.

Of course, but it's not the only way to do it. The game steers you to do it on multiple days by telling you how tired your party members are. I mean, I like that they don't get ACTUALLY tired, but it doesn't change the fact that you can definitely split the dungeons up into different days.

I thought the "tiredness" is just how much HP/SP they have?

I never do them in one day. Doesnt seem like Ive ever had enough SP (nor the desire) to do so.

This is also a major issue

It is

Oh really? So if you heal them up, they'll say that they're not tired?

Weird, I never knew that.

Yeah, home shopping now providing 20x of a crappy consumable instead of 1 awesome accessory or something was kinda poop. Like, in p3/p4 I sometimes didn't even have the money for them but that wasn't an issue in 5 either.

Yup. Having the SP regen accessory bought from the clinic lady or MC persona equipped with an invigorate passive significantly helps in one day clears, which frees up more time slots for social linking or stat boosting.

They aren't that long tbh.
---

Oh damn, then my bad, guys.

I do still think that the dungeons are fine in length (maybe could use a couple of trims, though). I think that the game is a bit too long, though. It feels like it's ending for like the last 20-30 hours of the game. I think they thought that they NEEDED to make it 100 hours.

Yeah. The game sucks overall, as a matter of fact.

You said the same about Nier when I was hyping it to you and now its your fave game of all time!
---

RPG's with dungeons longer than 1 hour (or 30 minutes between save points) are just poorly designed. period stop.

Nah it doesnt suck, it's really good

Its fantastic, like all the Personas. I just dont have as much game time these days and 100+ hours for one playthrough is too much. If the series was known for that, okay, but the previous ones werent this long... they didnt need to pad the dungeons.
