Ys X Proud Nordics is really fun but

I'm 13 hours into Ys X now. The gameplay and combat are great but there are some things that really hold it back in my opinion.

I'm not a major YS fan. I've played and beat Ys VIII, IX and Origins while really enjoying them. I'm no superfan but VIII and IX were amazing so I have fond memories of both.

That has me wondering about X and why I get annoyed playing it so often. One example is the dialogue. Characters go on and on all the time while saying very little. Even the interesting discussions seem overly verbose. So far I am actively talking to everyone who has something to say and it's getting exhausting. I just want to play the game but there are constant interruptions. The optional dialogue during traversal takes much longer than the actual trip does. And unlike a game like the 2018 God of War it's not memorable. NPC's have too much to say in towns and settlements as well. There are always multiple extra lines of commentary written after the point has been made.

Yes it's optional and I could skip it but I'm not that kind of player. I will quit the game before skipping content. If you take issue with that please ignore this.

Why are there no models for new weapons? That is the bare minimum for visual progression these days and the developers decided, for whatever reason, to leave it out. If I get a cool new sword I should be able to see myself wielding it. It's not a huge deal and I'm guessing other YS games are like this too. I admit this isn't a major criticism but it is disappointing.

I'm being negative and I know not everyone is going to appreciate that. It's my honest opinion though. I still like the game and I will keep playing it because there's a lot to love but I hope these issues don't make it into Ys XI. That's why I am posting this. To vent and hope that enough people agree.
