Then that’s your metric of value isn’t it? Where did I say it had to be based on timeI don't get value out of my games. I get fun and enjoyment. Time spent is irrelevant.

Except I didn't like any of these. Dragon Quest feels too slow, generic and boring for me. Nier 2 was unique but after a bit it also just the normal MMORPG open world "work through a list of tasks" gameplay just that you can't even play with others. Secret of Mana were only remakes. Did not play Yakuza but wouldn't consider it a fully fledged JRPG. KH3 I skipped because there's too many other titles to play to get the story and I already didn't like KH1&2 too much. Atelier is probably one of the JRPG series I like the least because it focuses on one of my most hated mechanics: crafting. Valkyrja Chronicles I only played the first game a little but didn't like it. Never played Sakura Wars, doesn't look very interesting to me. Tales of Berseria was pretty good but has the same issues I have with most modern Tales of... games: Way too much mechanics and menu browsing.As a fan of Tri Ace, I feel your plight. However, last gen's JRPGs weren't so hot tbh. This gen we got a mainline Dragon Quest on consoles. Nier 2 was a surprise. Secret of Mana a nice throwback. Yakuza's as good as it's ever been. Even got KH3 finally (I hated it but people like it). Atelier's going big. VC4 and Sakura Wars aren't JRPGs but scratches a similar itch. Hot new Tales game on the horizon. So not really that dire...
Yeah but I’m saying people can have different value metrics so you for instance wouldn’t base it off of time played since you don’t feel that equates to “valuable” to you. Could be the experience itself, even short, was valuable because you enjoyed it or were moved by it to a level that set it apart from other games.That's what everybody is answering in the thread...
Just wanted to share that thought, no problem with your topic at all.
