XIII-2 and LR are not 50 hour games lol.

I wasn't talking about the number when you rush through the main story strictly. All 3 games are different, but the "Main + Extra" values in that image are pretty accurate numbers for the way most people play RPGs and from my experience, namely going through the main story and do a few sidequests here and there along the way (LR actually was ~80h for me because I enjoyed it so much). The average of those values for all 3 games is ~50h. Now maybe ~35-40 for the main story for each episode of FFVIIR would be realistic, plus another 10-15 for side content, I'd say.
