Not quite. 

The Original Star Ocean can be beaten in about 20 hours. Now that I do give it a second thought - As long as it has the typical post game content and that true blue SO grind.... I dont care. The idea about there needing to a certain length designation is just as bad as pixel designation.  

What about the other star ocean games? 40 hours or more of gameplay is the standard length of gameplay in a rpg. If anything the standard is getting longer for most rpgs. It just means there's that much more content to play through versus there being less. 

Typical western gamer mindset - MOOOAR = BETTAR!

This idea of  "standardization" is exactly what I was talking about. Grandia 2 is one of my favorite RPGS and it can be beaten in 20-25 hours. It is very linear with no sidequest, post game content or anything like that. Does not make it any less enjoyable to any other rpgs from that or or current. Somebody said it up above, but im tired of "forever games"... 60 hours main story!!..Ugh. 20 hour main story, plus all the typical tri-Ace side stuff and I am absolutely fine with that.
