June 28th is release date. Lots of people are saying the game is around 20 hours, but those are people who didn't watch cutscenes and skipped all the text, and only did normal mode, so I'm still not super worried about it. I heard the first estimate on a full playthrough today, at ~38 hours with postgame. Short, but not too much less than SO4 on normal was minus Wandering Dungeon, I did normal on SO4 with all PA endings minus postgame in 45ish hours, and did full postgame on Chaos with NO PA endings in over 150 hours. As long as they hold up to the standard of the final difficulty being batshit hard, it should still get me around 200 hours, which isn't as much as SO3 or 4 but it's still good enough, especially for a game in this shitty gen. I still remember dying in the tutorial fight 6 times in a row on SO4 in Chaos, and taking 5 hours to get past the first boss that takes around 20 minutes to get through on normal.
