Star Ocean 5 is a less than 20 hour jrpg MORE proof, Amazon japan users complaining

[Super_Boom]

I like long JRPGs, but this doesn't necessarily mean anything to me. Some of my favorite SNES and GBA RPGs could be completed in the 20-30 hour range, and definitely weren't any worse for it. Sometimes it just means less padding, grinding...or the story might just not be overextended like many other games in the genre.

That being said, this game really isn't on my radar, and it could be the case that it really is lacking on game content. I just don't think a number alone is enough to make that call.
