I like lots of text in my games because I like Golden Sun
Offtopic: Golden Sun the first game ended far too soon. The second and DS installment both featured a decent length of an adventure. The first game was however WAY too short. There was plenty of text in it, but the gameplay content was just far too tiny.

Ontopic: The new Zelda seems to be quite a long journey. I still haven't played any more, but I'm on my way to the third temple, and I probably spent 4-5 hours already. Maybe more, I'll have to check my save.

and I agree with Yuan, there's plenty of stuff Fi says which I'd rather not have to read. Also I sometimes call him by mistake and just for the sake of it, I press one of the buttons to ask him for advice or hints and similar. The things he say there are just some descriptions of the location, and not really what I'm supposed to do. Which kinda sucks.

They should have an option in games to "Cut to the chase" or "Give me the full shabam". A lot of people don't care for the full story and instead would rather just skip it all and get right into gameplay or the tutorial.

Arkangelyou, o sorry. I mean her! :)

I still want to read the whole story, but I want to read it at my own pace, ie have whole text blocks presented the moment I ask for it.
How to easily implement this would be press C to instantly show whole textblock and press A to continue to next part once whole text block is presented. That way, you will never by mistake miss any text, and you'll still be able to read it at your own pace. Maybe use B button if you want to ignore talking to the person. Good if you pushed A by mistake next to an NPC.

It's just design issues which a professional company as Nintendo should have been figured out years ago.

PS: I still love what I've played so far of the game.

Offtopic: yeap... the first Golden Sun is kind of short. Just when you think "yeah, lets pickup the lemurian ship and go to the jupiter lighthouse!!" the game ends. But, both the 1st game (The Broken Seal) and The Lost Age were intended as 1 game only. Due to limitations with the GBA Memory Cartridge, Camelot had to split the game in two.

Ontopic: Skywar Sword is awesome.

    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".

    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
