For any fan of Paper Mario or RPGs in general, you should give Bug Fables a try.

If you strictly play the main story and do it in the normal difficulty, probably betwenn 15 to 20 hours.

If you play in hard mode and do all/most side quest, more than 45 hours. That's what took me to finish it, anyways.

Sounds promising. But it's a €30 digital-only game and you bashed the Atelier series, so I'll hold off until a sale anyway.
