25 hours is how long the game actually takes. If you fought JUST the battles you had to fight, but watched all the scenes, it would take 25 hours. There's no room for discussion; the game simply isn't that short, especially if you "squeeze every ounce" of it.
Not to mention, you would have to not continue, but rather, reload from every save point, so that the hours don't add up, assuming you lived. That alone would make it more than 25, even if it doesn't say so.
If you finished the game is 25 hours, then you missed... everything. Except for the battle against Xemnas, obviously. And I seriously doubt that your file was played on Proud Mode (if it were, then you skipped alot, and didn't actually play it, because Proud Mode will guarantee that you die at least once).
Demyx, Xaldin, and Xigbar alone require more than one attempt, (even if at most, 2, which is what happened to me, and NO ONE is THAT good without a guide), which means that you must have reloaded somewhere, and therefore, added hours, despite what the save screen says. Or used a walkthrough guide.
Now, if this were Normal or Beginner Mode, then certainly, it could be done in 25 hours, with squeezing. Proud would not. There just simply isn't any room for debate.
Paradox Cup w/ Jiminy? Forget 25- hours. That also would make your hours skyrocket above 40. Treasure chests with Synthesis? Forget it. You missed alot. Not even a lot. A MASSIVE AMOUNT ALOT.
