Like for example, Super Mario 64 is not a long game

This says youre wrong. It has the same length as most typical non-open world campaigns today.

Without dlc, of course.

Oot is like 20+ hours for main story. So again not a short game.

Super Mario 64's length is only marginally longer than Odyssey's, half an hour to be an exact, but then Odyssey has a LOT more extra game content. And I don't know what your experience was, but a lot of games, specifically older games had the "you don't know where to go next and that's what's taking you so long".

The reason why I picked Super Mario 64 and oot is because they're some of the biggest (ambitious) games in that era. You have to compare them with games that are considered relatively short in todays era for them to hold up in terms of length and content. Nobody would play a game with a 13 hour campaign today and consider it long.

And if you're going to compare the longest RPGs of the past, then you have to compare them to the longest RPGs of the present. I'm trying to think of an RPG that meets Persona 5's sprawling 95 hour length.
