Awakening's main quest was 26 missions long.

If you buy all the three Fates games, the average length of the main quests will be 25 missions.

You'll have significantly fewer paralogues than you had in Awakening, but counting them as equally important chapters as the main chapters is fooling yourself. They weren't.

Effecitvely the difference in length is that the Fates games don't have the missions where you recruit your characters' children from the future.

A chapter doesn't neccesarily signify a particular length. For example, Chapter 6 of Fates is extremely short. A standard playthrough on Youtube is about 9 minutes long. While a standard playthrough of Chapter 6 in Awakening takes 30 minutes.

Like I said in my opening post, not everything content wise can be properly quantified.
But let's at least not bash people and call them idiots if their sense of value for content differs from yours.

I think you misunderstood my point with the end sentence there. If you buy one path, then the second part, and then buy the third part, and then feel that you've been ripped off, your choices have been extremely strange. If the first one wasn't worth what you paid for it, why buy the second, and why on earth buy the third? There's no conceivable way anyone in their right mind would act that way. Obviously, deciding in advance that you feel the games are not worth their price does not make you an idiot.

That's interesting info. I will save it for future reference, thank you.

But keep in mind that Nintendo specifically compared this to Awakening. That's why I'm using Awakening's standard for comparison.

It's also not entirely accurate. Awakening didn't have the most levels for a game in the series.

It's probably not entirely accurate, and that's also down a bit to what you count as a chapter. I didn't count the 3 trial maps of Path of Radiance, for instance, but I think that's a sound omission. I also didn't count the 18 chapters of tower of Valnhi and the Lagdou Ruins in Sacred Stones, which might be a bigger omission, but they're each so small that counting them as a full chapter is overstating it.

I'm positive that Awakening has the most levels for a game in the series, though. Radiant Dawn will take you longer to finish, because its chapters are larger, but Awakening has the most chapters.
