This is exactly the scenario I’ve got with some JRPGs; currently, Trails in the Sky.

Anyone who makes it to its ending adores it. But in fairness, that is a huge and heavy filter on opinions. Sooo much unnecessary dialog and bloat, even a few “Oh, Japan” moments.

Makes me wish for a job as a script editor (game or TV) so I can zero in on innocuous lines like “It was great to meet you” and fuss “This does not add information, or character, or charm!! Skip it!”
