Too much text?

[DarkClaymore]

Did anyone feel that this game has too much text compared to it's length?

Each time a mission is completed and the player returns back to the airship, the characters you can talk to saying something different.
I realized that at the very beginning of the game, and since then I was heading back after each mission in order to read the new text.

Even though I have nothing against it, I think SE overdid it a little with the text. The game wasn't really that long, but I surely spent a lot of time talking to characters.

Did it seem that long? I mean, the worst thing about this was the difficulty of the bosses like Mydia and the 2nd last boss, or maybe I was just under-levelled and under-prepared. I only talk to them if I know they're talking about something new or just about new equipment etc. As for momentos, I know when I got them so it wasn't a matter for me to update them.
