Final fantasy is a really weird series. Every game is different and every fan has their own opinion of which games are good and why, or what’s important in a final fantasy game.
When people tell me that the story is what’s most important in a Final Fantasy game, I know they probably started with 7 or later. I like the parts where you customize your party and explore and have battles and make decisions and solve puzzles and all that video game shit. Yes, the stories enhance the game, but the story was never meant to be the entire game: But after 7, a whole bunch of new fans were like “there’s this new genre of games where the whole point is to watch cut scenes and read a lot of dialogue”, and the games have changed to accommodate that.
I guess my point is maybe try an earlier game (probably 4, 5, or 6) that has better gameplay, and you can get through the dialogue faster without having to watch all the slow animations of characters putting their hands behind their head.
