The Last Story. It's a great more modern JRPG without the bloat. It's pretty short. Not as short as SNES era RPGs which were usually 10-15 hours at most. While I love JRPGs most are badly paced as they are bloated. Xenoblade is a rare exception to me. Well Xenoblade 1. Xenoblade 2. I like X a lot but it has some issues. A recent offender to pacing is Persona 5. Great game but dear god does it drag itself with the Memento stuff.

Stylish action games do this well with the likes of Bayonetta & DMC. Zone of the Enders 2 is very well-paced. The more recent MK story modes are well done. Yakuza 0 and Judgment are masters of this. Nier and Nier Automata.
