I've spent an unexpected 280 hours on FFXV (not counting the festivals/other DLCs), I mean, I knew I was gonna play around 100 hours anyway because I'm just that type of player (same with the AC and KH games, I spend on average 100+ hours beating a game from those series, exploring stuff and completing the side quests). With so many hours spent on them, and I didn't even complete all the hunts yet, AND I didn't grind exp or items yet, I can only say wow, FFXV has been indeed an incredibly enjoyable game for me if I didn't feel nearly 300 hours passing playing it!
In contrast, though, are the Pokemon games, which I generally finish around 50 hours (surprisingly few hours for the immense fun they are to play for me! I adore them! but it's strange to check my save files and see LeafGreen/Sapphire/Emerald/Platinum/Black/Black2 took me around 50 hours each...), with the difference that Pokemon Pearl (my first pokemon game ever, when I borrowed it together with the DS from a friend) took me 220 hours and I was fascinated that I actually spent so much time on a game for the first time. I loved it with all my heart and I saved for the last time on top of the Pokemon League waterfall location.... before returning the game to my friend and then he reset to start a new game... Now tho, I am sure that I would play the Pokemon games differently. I played most of them 5 years ago, since then my play style changed in a very pleasant way. I now take my time with everything.
