"Yoshida: Im sure it’s much different when comparing to FFXI. Even Guild Wars 2 at release timing people capped at 36 hours, and on average was about 47 hours. In current generation having a story driven RPG without being side tracked taking 50 hours is long. I personally feel that’s too much, if it’s me my direction would be like Call of Duty with story for 6 to 9 hours, but has a lot of stuff put into it. To me I think that’s enough."

Ok Yoshi-P, I like what you're doing with FFXIV, but don't ever make an offline RPG where it only takes 6 to 9 hours to finish the story...
