Tales of... defined. All of these games have some epic amazing boss fight after a major story development where its clearly time to stop this bad guy, get transported to an epic battlefield in heaven or some nonsense, just for the game to be like, hah, nah we got 35 more hours friendo.
I only looked at the first page but i sae many people taking this thread negatively. So lets spin it in a positive one.
Nier automata

the game pulls that a few times actually. The first is when you finish route A and the game tells you "hey you can now replay the game" and you are getting excited to go through it again (even though route b was kind of disappointing)....
And then came route c. It was cool to see some continuation to the story and then everything goes bat shit insane and you see the platinum games present, im getting chills just writing this again, and you understand, that you have finally after who knows how many hours, finished the prologue. Such an amazing scene that opened up so much more of the story i could have never seen coming.

Gravity Rush 2 has its own sequel in the game. I really did not expect to go through so many areas and time skips in that game.
I'm glad Okami was such a long game, caused I loved it so much. Probably in my top 10 favorite games.
It's three completely different stories in one game. It's bananas how unfocused that game's narrative is.
Granted, I still enjoyed it (in spite of how incredibly shallow it is), but man, compared to the first game's basically nonexistent story, GR2 was definitely overcompensating.
Far Cry 3 is what came to mind when I read the thread. Only because you never see it coming.
Out of nothing... Another island?!

You're not wrong, but I kind of find that endearing haha. Like you can almost feel that they know they won't be getting any more games so they had to wrap up loose threads from the first game and also try to tie all its disparate bits together at the end
I really loved Okami, don't get me wrong, but 25 hours would be the perfect length. 40+ was a bit too much, I definitely wasn't feeling the magic for the last 10-15 hours.
As others have said: Okami. You basically beat three games in one. I loved it but was checked out for the last few hours.
Axiom Verge.
I never expected it to be anywhere near as huge as it actually is. There's so much to discover, so many areas, so many cool power-ups which find you that "ahhhh" moment when you think back to previous areas you want to get back to with your new power.
I completely underestimated how big it is and initially stopped playing after a few hours thinking I was near the end, only to return a good while later and find that I'd barely scratched the surface of just a small portion of the game.
It's such a good game.
Obviously since then we've had other similarly huge Metroidvanias like Hollow Knight but Axiom Verge is perfect because the back-tracking is fluid and never feels like a chore.

[edit] I'm going to throw Persona 5 at the bus. That game definitely overstayed it's welcome with that extra ten hrs
I'm playing DQX1 right now. After I see credits roll I'm gonna peace out
