Game length

[Hex: Hollow Heart]

How long will the game be?

[GlamReaper]

Some reviews note around 20 hours

[Cyiel]

20 to 30h without subquests.

"Roughly around 15 hours if you're not speeding through" some folks say.

If it's really 15 hours then someone is high as ♥♥♥♥ over there for $40 pricing lmao.

[Blowfeld]

I rather have 20h with good content than 40h stretched by grind and repetition. Let's see how this game does it....

[Astray]

They announced 20 to 30h without the subquest in 2015. I expect a little much longer four years after.

Ahh yes, the classic "length is more important than quality" argument that still makes no sense

Sorry to say but your logic is also flawed, going by that you could ask what you like as long as the quality is good.

Bear in mind that every single character has their own sidequest, so a 100% run should add a fair amount.

Friendly reminder that Chrono Trigger, a game that is widely regarded as one of if not the best JRPGs of all time takes only 20 hours to beat if you mainline it, and cost $60 on release.

Length =/= Quality.

No it isn't. The subjectivity of taste doesn't override the general rule of "quality over quantity" since it's illogical to disagree with that rule regardless of your preferences. Whether you like style A or style B, it still doesn't make sense to pick "long average game" over "shorter great game". Besides, just think of all the 60-80 dollar games that are 15 hours or even less in many cases.

There still has to be a balance on price.

I agree. So if this game is, for the sake of argument, 20 hours long, how is paying 2 dollars per hour of gameplay asking too much? How often do you really see people complaining that a $60 USD game has a playtime of 30 hours? As long as they liked the game, I doubt that happens often.

Chrono Trigger has new game plus and multiple endings.. way to leave that part out.
(Also it is a Super Nintendo game BEFORE the Golden age of JRPG's)
it's 2019 if people still don't realise....

I beat Chrono Trigger my first try in only 18 hours and I wouldn't want that game to be any longer. Bonus content is one thing but I think people are talking about the main story.
