It is if you're me you know ABF. Games I take 50 hours to beat, review sites take 20 to beat. Games I take 99:59 hours to beat (actually iit's probably a lot more, but the clock stopped), are probably more like 40 hours long. I just never EVER feel rushed to beat an RPG. I always take my time, talking to EVERY SINGLE PERSON until they repeat themselves and so on, and sometimes I just find myself far from a save point and leave the system on ALL DAY while I go out, so my clock time very often has no real bearing on the time it takes to beat the game if you just rush through only doing what's needed to see the end credits.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
