Sakaguchi: "Make no game for a while if The Last Story is poorly received"

TBH I am slightly dissappointed that the game is only around 30 hours. That's simply not enough for JRPGs.

30 hours is perfectly sufficient for the main storyline, if the game is made in a way that makes you want to play through it again. A big problem of modern JRPGs is that they are more focused on extending the one and only playthrough most players will have with pointless sidequests and challenges, instead of encouraging players to start the game over again from scratch.

I'm not a person who enjoys rerunning JRPGs directly after I have beaten it. So a shorter one is disappointing to me.
