In the last few years I have mostly been playing the same few games

I played 10 new JRPGs last year. I am hoping to get to 10 this year, but there haven't been too many JRPG releases, probably because JRPG devs don't want to launch near FFXVI.

I guess what I am trying to say is, play more JRPGS!

Any recent JRPGs that you'd recommend that don't take 100 hours?

I don't mind traditional turn-based elements, but for most JRPG's, I prefer games where the story can be beaten in 20 or 30 hours (some of my classic favorites like CHrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, Pokemon RBY, and Earthbound take roughly this long). Nowadays, I'm just not patient enough for a JRPG that takes 100 hours if I don't know I'm going to love it.

Thanks for any suggestions you feel like giving!

I usually play the longer JRPGs. Although I think only one of them made it to 100 hours. 50-80 is most common.

The Diofield Chronicle is a somewhat short and sweet game. The story is definitely worth checking out. (20-30 hours)

FF Strangers of Paradise wasn't that long, but it is kind of difficult. Still worth playing, especially now with the updates. (30-50 hours)

FFXVI probably won't make it to 60 hours.
