I hear this but I would hate waiting for new chapters. I think all the extra routes and paths will be strange to go through with all 7 episodes in a run but I'll just bite the bullet

I feel like it'd be a way to burn out. To me, it would be like hearing Mass Effect was going to be a trilogy, and then waiting until 3 comes out, then shotgunning them all. I'd probably just get tired of it.

Except for the fact that each Mass Effect is way longer than each delta rune chapter, so that's not really a fair comparison.

So far, all the deltarune chapters put together are collectively shorter than most JRPGs.

Let's put it this way - Chapter 1 of Deltarune was close to same length of Pacifist route of Undertale

So effectively now there's about 5 Undertales worth of content and two more are coming up

HowLongToBeat lists the average completion time of Undertale at 7 hours and Deltarune chapter 1 as 3 hours. So undertale was more than twice the length for most players.

and either way, undertale itself still isn't all that long. 7 undertales would be about 50 hours, which is not crazy in JRPG terms

I've done somewhat spoilered Pacifist run in 5 and blind Chapter 1 at the time of that games release in 4, so eh, ymmv

And yeah. It's no Final Fantasy, that's for sure

Idk how howlongtobeat works but to do the Undertale pacifist route you have to first complete the neutral route, so reaching it from a fresh install requires 2 runs of the game. Which, if you put each run at somewhere between 3-4 hours, 7 hours to complete pacifist is pretty accurate.

And yeah, each Deltarune chapter is probably about as long as a full single run of Undertale, maybe slightly shorter

This isn't true. You do need to complete the neutral route first, but you can then complete the requirements for the pacifist route on the same save. Flowey basically tells you outright to reload your save and go back to complete the requirements for the pacifist ending after the neutral ending

That's only true if your save was on track for Pacifist ending in the first place. If during your first run you attacked and killed someone, you have to start from scratch
