I've been playing Chrono Trigger for the first time over the last few days and I noticed that most of the NPC dialogue changes as you progress through your story. Similarly, when I last played Final Fantasy VII and even Pokemon Black I actively read every text, from the story itself, to the individual characters around the world. I didn't do this at all when I was younger. I mainly just skipped text (even related to the main storyline) and continued with the gameplay side of things. As I grow older I feel that the story is much more important to my playing of games, but I'm not sure if I'm alone in this.

Classic has been the first time on Graal that I've seen people take an active interest in the text that is spread around the world. Players seem to know what an NPC character says, what's on a bookshelf, and I often see people trying to piece together information from this. Most people on Classic don't even seem to be able to read the news correctly however, so I was wondering how present it is within the community.

I understand the poll is a little poor because it doesn't capture different styles or game genres. Take it as your general approach to games.
