TBH I am slightly dissappointed that the game is only around 30 hours. That's simply not enough for JRPGs.


Yeah because the likes of Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG and Secret of Mana are considered such bad RPGs.  Oh wait...


I didn't say that just because it is under 30 hours it will be bad. I said that I am disappointed because it isn't over 30. Big difference.

I'm crossing my fingers.
I hope something big is being born.

The main story in DQ8 took me 90 hours and I never grinded. You don't need grinding to have a story that long. Tales games also have like 60 hour stories, no grinding really necessary.

Just how are you playing those games? I know that you can reach that amount of playtime in those games, if you try to do all sidequests and such, but 60 or more hours just to finish the main storyline? You must like going on sightseeing tours in JRPGs.


If I remember correctly, Tales of Symphonia took me about 60 hours to do.  I did a  bit of side questing, but not much and I can't remember doing any level grinding.  It's just a massive game.  I remember Skies of Arcadia Legends took me just over 50 hours to beat as well with some side quests done.

And don't get me started on Pokemon.  I have over 280 hours on my Pokemon Diamond, with a full pokedex (including all events) and everything done legitimately without cheats.

@I copied and paste right from the article so when i typed it just used the text from the font, wasnt trying to come across as crazy, OT whos word to go by better than the guy who is actually making the game??? If the man says it plays like an MMORPG who are we to say otherwise??? for the record I really hope it doesnt im rooting for this game


It doesn't play like a MMORPG, I've played a lot of MMORPGs, that is not it.

I don't get you folks.  Some of the best RPGs ever made clock under 30 hours!  It's much better than filling a game with fluff to reach some artificial figure, in my humble opinion.

They are young. They have been trained to play through a game just once and then put it on the shelf. On top of that their reason to play are stories, not the actual gameplay. Not to mention one of them is Soriku.


I play RPGs for gameplay first, story second. If the gameplay is bad I won't like the game that much no matter how good the story is, and it won't be worth a replay.

I still like 50-60 hour games.


If you  are a gameplay person Sakaguchi gives you both strong gameplay and story.

Don't get too optimistic....I really don't want insane expectations for this game...otherwise, people will be disappointed.

OT: Kojima said something similar a while back.

Frankly, I don't really respect these kind of statements...humans aren't perfect. If there's something wrong with your game, take the criticisms, and work around them.

Okay then. He also said there would basically be a "New Game Plus" (fan term, not his), so that there would be more replay value, so the 30 hours is fortunately not all there is to the game.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Sort of like Demon's Souls?? I'm game!
