Forums - Nintendo - Sakaguchi: "Make no game for a while if The Last Story is poorly received"

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


For a not-grinding JRPG it is a perfect amount of time. For a DQ game it would be nothing, but hopefully it's mostly for story quests.

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.

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


Sakaguchi said it's a 30-40 hour quest. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/28/last_story_qa/

"Does the game's battle segments look somewhat MMORPGish to you? Sakaguchi feels that the game does, in a sense, resemble a sort of single player MMORPG in that you experience a 30 to 40 hour quest with a party of six friends who speak throughout. Also, at the system level, the game has some elements that resemble the systems one finds in an MMORPG."

I was referring to the DQ I played, DQ V DS and DQ IX, and in these games I played for more than 40 hours to end the main story, but most of these hours (25-30) were spent in levelling to be more powerful before fighting the bosses. Also considering Pokemon games, you play them for 30-40 hours before the "end" of the game, but most of these hours are for catching Pokemons or train your ones (well, Pokemon has a non existing story compared to many RPGs...).

I expect around:

90 on metacritic

2-3mil in sales (IF RELEASED WORLDWIDE! DO IT!)

Not a chance in Hell. When it breaks 800k we'll throw a party, all right?

1.5 is my estimate. There's a good bit of weight behind this one

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.

How do you play 50-60 hour games, post so much on here, and go to school?

Do you sleep?

It takes me a while to beat those games nowadays...

Hehe.  I bet that you can post in your sleep though.  :p

30-40 hours for the main storyline is about what it took for pretty much all the Final Fantasy games (until X).

Seems on-par to me for Sakaguchi.

30 hours is perfect for me. Since I finished High School back in May, I've been really busy with work....and....you...being an adult and stuff. It's tough man.

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

Don't lie to Soriku man.
