I was around 64 hours to finish it.

The serial killer found out who I was, and kidnapped my younger 6 year old "sister" I'd been getting closer too all game. He murdered her.

Then I went to his hospital room in the real world, forced him into the TV world and murdered him against several of my friends will. The final couple of months passed without us speaking much and it kind of fractured the friendship.

We all said goodbye at the train station where I left and roll credits. Dojima is left living all alone to drink himself into a stupor over his daughters death.

Fuck.For a game full of charm, those last few hours got grim, FAST. Jesus.

Do you have a save from before that scene? You probably have another 20-40 hours depending on if you're playing Regular or Golden.

Nanako recovers if you make the right choices when confronting Namatame in his room. Seeing that TC murdered him via TV, he didn't make the right choices.

Nah, I'll try again in a NG+ file a few months from now. I chose what I feel I would've chosen to do in the situation myself, so I enjoyed it more that way. Even if everything did go to shit. Curious though, did I miss much gameplay, or is it just a different ending cutscene? If it was a whole new dungeon or something I'll go back and try it for sure eventually.

On to Persona 5, baby! So glad I got into this series.

Yeah, that sounds right. I remember the hospital stuff where you pick the wrong choice and the game just lamely fast-forwards several months to the ending, lol.

You miss 3 dungeons and 3 playable months by getting the bad ending: the true culprit's, Marie's, and the one on the final day in Inaba, if you do things right.

It's like two more dungeons if you go for the true ending and a vastly different ending scene.

Edit: oh shit yeah, it's three dungeons in Golden, not two

Maybe even 2. I don't recall how golden messed with the ending

You can always NG+ that, too. Start with your compendium, money stashed, and high personal attributes.

It didn't do much, but it gave you an extra epilogue scene if you maxed out the Aeon social link and completed the new dungeon.

I would recommend reloading your save and continuing from there so you don't need to play through all those dungeons again. It'd be bad if you burned out on the game by the time you got back to the big decision time.

I'm reloading it. But it'll feel strange now because it isn't my initial choice. I'm kind of bummed they gave me a choice and cut a ton of gameplay for making the "wrong" one. That actually really sucks. But I definitely want a better ending than what I got because...well, frankly there wasn't much closure.

How many more hours do I have in store for me?

Given that this is your first time through, probably a good 25 hours. It's significantly shorter in the original PlayStation 2 release, because there are only two dungeons after that and no more playable months after December. They added a lot of content and time in the Golden release, so you could max out Social Links and shit.

You easily have another 10 hours left. I guess maybe more depending on how tough you are and I forgot Golden has extra content.

Thank god for holding triangle.

A whole half hour listening to it...Three minutes or so holding it lol.

So glad they added that in. Anyway, I'm here in the room with the killer now. Do I have to do any specific string of dialogue/choices to continue toward the true ending or just not kill him?

Golden adds a fast forward if you hit Start. It speeds through animations too, unlike just holding Triangle, so it can be faster when repeating scenes.

I think P5's ending choice is more straightforward. P4's theme was about finding the truth even if it took extra effort so it's a little bit more hidden.

Persona 3 had only a good and bad, iirc.

Bad ending is when you opt to kill death incarnate, live for about three months in ignorant bliss, and then everyone dies one day. Good ending involves you not killing death incarnate, and killing the big bad in a 13-phase boss fight after another dungeon.
