So I've been playing Persona for a bit now and I just got into the other world . It's still early in the game, I know.

However, my playtime is at 197:54. My characters aren't even level 20! I'm really curious how I have over 8 days solid worth of playtime, but haven't got anywhere.

It counts sleep mode time, lol.

That's what I was afraid of... I'm going to max out the playtime clock without even actually playing the game! T_T

That's why I don't use sleep mode. xD

Same here, I just run to a save point before I turn off the system.

What's the big deal with play time? Does it really matter that much?


Do you look at your play time after finishing a game and tell yourself you did a good job and then pat yourself on the back?

I am always paranoid about play time nowadays due to playing too many games where your total time changes things in the game (achievements in Operation Darkness, for example), so I usually just look up if time changes anything. If I know that play time affects nothing, I could care less.

I understand the playtime issue. A lot of people like to get the most out of their entertainment dollar. Many will go by dollars per hour.

For example, if you bought a 10 hour game, you're paying 6 dollars per hour. These people will see the lower the dollar per hour, the better. Now if you got a 40 hour game, that's $1.50 an hour. Nothing wrong with people who like to do things that way, after all it's their money.

I just want to know how much time for when people ask me around how much time a game takes

that's about it other than that I couldn't care less
