    I remember finishing some really quickly ... yet others took weeks.

    What is your ideal single player rpg playtime duration?

    Oh, so you meant how long you spend playing RPGs in one sitting ... I meant the total time you needed to spend playing the game to clear it

    About 20 hours seems good, but people that don't like cutscenes or storyline material will probably want it to be way shorter than that. I'm thinking stuff like final fantasy, you don't finish those games in a day unless you're a robot, I've met a person that can play like a machine.

    The question in the title is extremely vague. For that, I answer "for as long as humanity stays around".

    But from the thread, I understand the question as "how long will one typical single-player game last you?". And for that, I answer that I will never truly be able to complete an RPG, so "technically forever", but the cutoff when I will switch to another RPG may be around 8 months.
