I could do the opposite question. Did you read all the tutorials and flashbacks. I also look every nook and cranny for treasure in every area and spent some time with my spirits patting and playing some mini-games with them aswell as some tournaments. I finished with both characters and it took a bit above 5 hours but less than 6. It turns out i was at the ending of that world when i made the first post about it.I also replayed the dive sections for a better score.
The story is easy to follow if you're new to the series, but if you're familiar with the series it gives you more for every detail. For the record though, this game feels alot like kingdom hearts X Pokemon. People who like pokemon/AI simulation mini-games like the chao os Sonic adventure for example, will love this game. You can even change the color of your spirits by shooting color balls at them, and theres definitly a drive to catch/create them all so you unlock every skill.
As for game length, BBS took me 50+ hours to beat with all characters and special ending. I am thinking this one will land at about 40+ hours. Normal fair for an RPG, and especially considering they made you grind the levels all over again with each character. If you rush everything and dont care for any mini-games and character development, you will probably be able to beat it in 20 im guessing. If you did the same on BBS im pretty sure every character would be done in under 10 hours for comparison.
