Wasn't Chrono Trigger essentially 20 hours?

If you wanted it to be and on that topic, so was Chrono Cross, another excellent game.

No way was Chrono Cross 20hrs. That game took me over 40 hours, and I missed out on some major stuff. Also, howlongtobeat.com has the average completion time at about 44 hours. 

Imo 20hrs is just too short for an RPG, unless it's a cheap indie. If I buy an RPG I expect to get at least 35hrs on the main story + a few sidequests. If I wanted a 20hr or less experience, I'd buy a linear, story driven action game, like Uncharted, or Bioshock. Those provide more "enjoyment per hour" than your average RPG, considering they have no inventory/party/resource management, or traveling. It's just one setpiece to the next. Better graphics too.
