List of Contents
To finish the game in 30-40 hours it is recommended that you:
Since Shin Megami Tensei V is a fairly story heavy game, it is recommended that you adopt this playstyle after your first full experience with the game. However, if you're aiming for just a quick first impression of the series and its gameplay, a first playthrough with this approach may also be right for you.
To finish the game in 60 hours it is recommended that you:
This playstyle is recommended for first playthroughs, allowing you to get a small taste of everything, but not necessarily complete every aspect of the game.
To complete the game and achieve a playtime of 100+ hours it is recommended that you:
Since Shin Megami Tensei V has multiple endings, experiencing everything the game has to offer will take time. That being said, subsequent playthroughs will go by much more quickly due to stats and demons carrying over into New Game Plus depending on how you finish the previous playthrough.
Experiencing every last bit of content in Shin Megami Tensei V will easily push your playtime past the 100-hour mark, but it's a rewarding experience for fans of the series.
