30 hours for a main quest is fine for JRPGs as long as the cutscenes are short. you can add more hours in sidequests and item collection

Yeah but unforunately, JRPGs are the most story driven games besides the MGS series so they spend a lot of time with cutscenes.

Anemone. True I didnt notice her.

The girl with the purple does not look like Eureka. Nakiami looks like Eureka.

Nakami short red hair+Eureka face and feminite attitude = My ARF most wanted character.

What I want to know is where she puts on that armor.

30 hours of main quest usually means at least 80 hours if you do the side stuff if not more, and the combat is turn based so i guess it'll be more classic style with a little twist. looks good though, i'd pick it up for sure just because i like to beat jrpgs in general.

I disagree. While many known JRPGs are very story based, they do not need to use a 15 min cutscenes to tell something that in in game video last 3. Skies of Arcadia had these short cutscenes.

30 hours is the sweet spot for action-adventure and RPGs I think. Long enough to get into all the characters and stories.

8 hour Heavenly Sword not so much.

I disagree.  I never played SoA but from what I heard, the story is akin to Chrono Trigger in that the plot concept is not original but execution is.

Yeah because Tales of Symphonia's story was so original lol.  The story in ToS relied too much on cliches.

I don't need to play ToS to know that the story was very cliched.
