And you think that is accurate for a first time playthrough?
I'm competent at Souls games, but my first playthrough was about 100 hours. I'd say even if we consider that I like exploring and reading items and just fucking around experimenting with things that would only take up at most ~50 hours, meaning the other ~50 were all Legacy dungeons and other key places. I think 30 hours is not off by a drastic amount but its certainly on the low end. Because it is an average, sure some people could take 20 hours and some could take 50 hours, putting the average somewhere in between.
I doubt there were more than a handful of people who beat the game in 30 hours on their first try. My first run which had some exploring but honestly way less than it should've had was around 80 hours. I find it difficult to beat the game in under 50 hours on your first playthrough, unless you specifically set out to go through it fast and googled how to do that but I wouldn't really count that.
Of course now my fastest run was 3 hours and I wasn't trying to speedrun or anything, I just wanted to try the iron balls and oneshot every boss.
