How long do you think the main story will be?

We've gotten quite a bit of information about the general setting and plot of Z-A by now, and I'm curious how long you guys think the main story will last (assuming roughly average participation in side quests, minigames, etc and calling time when the credits roll)?

Personally, I'm leaning towards around the 16-20 hour mark. I don't think GF is going to go full Elder Scrolls / Fallout and make the plot more or less just an extra-detailed questline designed to facilitate exploring the world, but the plot descriptions on the Pokemon website strike me as a lot smaller scale than what we've gotten previously. In my opinion, approx 18 hours would be a reasonable amount of time to flesh out all the characters and wrap up an intriguing plot while still keeping everything contained in Lumiose.

Probably like 20-30 hours? You could rush through PLA pretty fast if you wanted to, but assuming you do some side things and looking around probably around that area.
Also had a decent chunk of story pushed into postgame in PLA. Ended the game with confronting Dialga/Palkia. Left the whole plates searching and confronting the real culprit Giratina and then later the final confrontation with Arceus for postgame.
