Games like Xenogears had hours of idle babbling, and Xenosaga games have as much babbling plus several 30-minute cut-scenes. Then there's MGS series which has ALWAYS been critizied for "talking heads" and yada yada yada...I think in all those games (except for Xenogears) you're given the option to SKIP the cutscenes and fast-forward the reading. If you don't want/can't/won't watch a long cut-scene/long discussion, then just don't and continue playing the game. You can always save your game before the long "movie" so you can later watch it at your own pace, if you choose to do so. I don't see the problem.

The difference between cutscenes and RPG babling is... most people can read 10 times faster then they can listen.

If in text form a 90 minute cutscene is less then 10 minutes long.
