Ok, I don't get this... I saw people who said (in reviews and in forums) they beat this game in 50 hours.

For reference sake, I am running through to catch up story before diving into The Answer.

I am doing a swimsuit run at level 99 from day 1 to end game. I have done THREE ranks of Slinks for Magician and ONE for Chariot. Every other day, i was school-sleep-school sleep.

The only exceptions is one day runs through to next barred entrance in Tartarus and full moons. I do not stop for battles, and rarely for chests, no card hesitation - just rushing through to next cut scene.

All battles fought with Mitsuru, Yukari, Aigis, and Junpei, as they become available. All in swimsuit, none power leveled. I am level 99 with a Messiah at level 98 and he is pretty much the win button i push in battle if something bothers to stop me. Victory Cry keeps me ready and healthy, so no power ups needed.

No side quests, studying, dates or Social links. no quests, no festivals, sleep all time I can just to get to next day. Hardly interaction with NPC's at all.

I am just now on the third day after the Hanged man 12th Shadow - and it is 35+ hours in.

No breaks, no stalls... How the hell do people make it through in fifty hours, much less with enough of an idea to review it? My first run took 160+ hours, but was fairly complete. How fast is your shortest run?

My one and only playthrough was 120 hours, with about 60% compendium. I'm just slower with RPGs (Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Legendia took me 130 hours and 90 hours respectively...)

My first run (first persona game as well) was 73 hours. I managed 63% of the compendium and Maxed about 6 S.Links. If that's doable by someone who didn't know how the game works, im sure a maxed guy on NG+ could run through in 50.
