I don't get you folks.  Some of the best RPGs ever made clock under 30 hours!  It's much better than filling a game with fluff to reach some artificial figure, in my humble opinion.

They are young. They have been trained to play through a game just once and then put it on the shelf. On top of that their reason to play are stories, not the actual gameplay. Not to mention one of them is Soriku.

I play RPGs for gameplay first, story second. If the gameplay is bad I won't like the game that much no matter how good the story is, and it won't be worth a replay.

I still like 50-60 hour games.

If you  are a gameplay person Sakaguchi gives you both strong gameplay and story.
