30 hours was the gold standard of game length during that time. 60 was considered a long game. 80+ more or less unheard of. 15 was a short game.

My personal preference is RPGs with 70+ hours.
Trick question. An RPG is a game designed around creating your own character and story. As such, there is no "good length" for this, it is simply a matter of choosing when to end the story yourself.
