The answer to how long Episode Aigis is depends on how you choose to play, especially if you’re carrying over your Compendium from the base game and allowing Aigis access to truly powerful Personas. If you’re ready to dive back into Persona 3 Reload and experience Episode Aigis from Persona 3 FES, here’s how long it’ll take.
How Long Is Episode Aigis?

17 Hours
Your Compendium Impacts Your Completion Time
Though it’s important to note that these times should be taken with a grain of salt.Your base game Compendium carries overinto Episode Aigis, but whether you choose to use the Personas you registered in the base game can make a huge difference in how well you do in combat.
Aigis' Compendium is kept separate from the base game Compendium for those who want a clean slate starting the DLC, but it’s important to note thatstarting Aigis' Compendium fresh will add playtimeto the DLC story.
For some, that’s exactly what they want, but for players trying to speed through, use the protagonist’s Compendium as often and early as possible. You’ll still have limited funds at the beginning of Episode Aigis, but the Personas will be available once you’ve gathered enough cash.
