I plan to play RPGs a bit the next months, and I only want to play the best games. I know roughly how many hours I will play in total. But to find out how many games I have time for, so I can plan out in which order to play the games (especially important if more than 1 game in a series makes the cut), I need to know the average hours to complete.
I have read that most SNES RPGs take about 20 hours to complete. Chrono Trigger, which many say is the best RPG of all time, is said to be about that length.
But by the time I have completed Final Fantasy 1, I will have spent about 40 hours if you include the time I "wasted" on starting over with a different party, so there are longer games as well. And I am guessing good RPGs typically lasts longer than 20 hours, but I could be wrong.
