Xo has only recommended shit. Here is what reddit says:
Super Mario RPG (Switch): About 10 to 12 hours for the main story, very little time-wasting, and the fights stay snappy.
Cosmic Star Heroine (PC, PS, Switch, Xbox): Commonly around 10 to 12 hours, designed with brisk pacing and minimal filler.
Child of Light (PC, PS, Switch, Xbox): Often 8 to 12 hours, simple systems, and it moves along.
Classic, still respectful of your time
Chrono Trigger (PC, mobile, DS): Typically ~20 to 25 hours with side content, and grinding is generally not necessary if you play normally.
If you can handle a bit longer, still low-grind
Live A Live (Switch, PS, PC): Usually lands in the 20 to 30 hour range depending on how much extra you do, split into short chapters so it never drags for long.
