Metaphor: ReFantazio is over 100 hours long, director confirms

“Persona 5 was a very bulky game, a very robust game, and this Metaphor: ReFantazio will be able to catch up to that and reach [its length] as well,” Hashino responded when asked if we can expect such a lengthy title. The HowLongtoBeat database reflects that it takes players on average more than 97 hours to finish the main story of Joker's adventure, more than 110 to do the extra content, a figure that rises to 173 to complete it all.

In addition, the director promises that there will be reasons to return to the world of Eucronia after watching the credits: “There's a lot of fun stuff we've added to the game after you play through it that will hopefully make you come back and continue to enjoy it after completing it. We've also done our best to create a very well-paced game, we've done things like adding action elements to the turn-based gameplay.”

“We thought the game was going to be maybe a little bit shorter,” Hashino confesses, ”but we've added so much content and there's so much stuff in here that it definitely has a length like Persona 5.” He also promises that there will be as many anime videos as in P-Studio's game: “We've included a lot of animated cinematic sequences. We had a large volume of them in Persona 5 and we've tried to keep that same approximate amount for Metahpor.”
