Short RPGs?

[Thaius]

I don't know about 10 hours, but older RPGs like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger clock out at about 20 hours, rather than the modern time frame of 40+. Plus they're some of the best games you'll ever play.

Dragon Age II, that's right I just recommended that game, flame away haters...

Half Minute Hero is probably exactly what you're looking for.
Do you like the idea of going through a major segment of the game in under a minute?
This happens in Half Minute Hero.

I have to agree with this , if you don't mind graphics much ( like many pro gamer xD)

Other than that i would say NIER, could be beaten in about 10 hours on easy and normal , i started my first playthrough on hard so i'm guessing if you a average gamer you shouldn't die too much on normal.

Also , wild arms 4 is a short game IF you don't do any of the side quesa or extra stuff , it's an rpg that is meant to Play through several time to get the full benefit ( theres a new game plus mode ) so about 20 hours, per playthrough .
