How Long to Beat Granblue Fantasy: Relink​

It will take players 20 hours to beat Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s main story and see the credits roll. To beat the main story and side quests, players should expect a runtime of 40 hours. However, it will take completionists 80 to 100 hours to beat absolutely everything the game has to offer. This is because, upon beating the main story, players will unlock even more quests, which will add an additional 40 hours to the runtime.

There are also endgame activities, such as fighting huge bosses, for players to look forward to once they’ve reached the level cap of 100. Additionally, players can experience all of the multiplayer missions with up to 3 friends online, adding even more replayability. With several playable characters to control, there is plenty of content for players to get through. Comparatively, Granblue Fantasy: Versus takes 6 hours to beat, and Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising takes 12. This makes Granblue Fantasy: Relink the longest game in the franchise outside of the mobile game.

We've seen a lot of 30-40~ hours for mainquest + a bit of sidequest to be the average for most (J)RPGs in recent years.
Seems like that's what their internal data says is the sweet spot to appeal the most potential audience.
Anecdotally If I look online and at my friend group and what they seem to say, that checks out.

As long as the combat is good and rewarding it can be 50, 70 hours and I'd love it. I tend to replay RPGs that have great combat for close to 100 hours or more.

40+ hours sounds perfect for me.

Preordered as its a project i want to support but god damn between that, like a dragon, persona 3 Reload and FF7 Rebirth, gotta pick one at a time but the homescreen will be glorious with all 4 loaded.
Also why did sega release both games on top of each other

I'm more worried about Helldivers 2, Suicide Squad and Pacific Drive all coming the same month (+ Rebirth of course as you mentioned).

Sega doesn't exist. They chose their fate.
