Iffy. I read the main quests when they actually have something to do with the story, but a lot of the quests so far have felt like filler. I skip a lot of the side quests dialogue for similar reasons.

I read the dungeon quest line(some of it I've skipped on accident), main scenario quest line. I enjoy the writing style, and I have learned new interesting words like succor. Succor me!
I also actually enjoy the English voice acting, though I've heard it is somehow inferior to the Japanese voice acting, i.e., the Japanese version has more voice acting in it.

I'm just happy they recently patched it where if you accidentally click Apply For Promotion at GC when fully ranked you no longer have to click through 8 text boxes to get out of it.
Back in the beta and in the beginning I read ALL of the text and listened to everything, but those times are over. The NPC's use way too many sentences most of the time, and I get annoyed waiting for their emotes to finish so I can keep clicking through it all. Especially beast quests. ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ
I read everything and have watched every main story cut-scene in the inn a second time.
I'm sure most players of this game are modern gamers that just don't have the patience for the story in a story-rich game. Can't read anything unless it's actually read TO them. Gotta rush to end game and complain about lack of stuff to do after all.
I read Main Story Quest text
Read or Skim Side Quest text (depends on how much time/interest I have in the quest)
Skim Daily and Leve text
Skip text I've read before and don't want to read again (have an alt so it happens a bit)
Definitely read all text, no matter how insignificant it might be.Of course daily beastmen quests and leves I kind of skip eventually after enough repeats, but as a general rule, I read all text regardless of what it is, as I'm crazy like that.
Not to mention I screencap all of it too, a habit I started in FFXI, as I've kind of made it a little project of mine to compile screenshots of quests and dialogue into a coherent narrative at a later date.![]()
I read everything, at least the first time, and I try to make a point when I can of talking to side NPCs at all quest steps (example: talking to the Scions in the Sylphlands before following the sylph to Ramuh). You get some really amusing dialogue that way, and a lot of story you wouldn't find otherwise - early on, for example, you have three other adventurer parties heading out to the same initial dungeons as you. You learn the fate of Edda's party through the main story, but only by talking to the older adventurer and his companion (who appears again in the Crystal Braves questline!) do you find out that the second party was brutally killed by the hecatoncheires within Copperbell.
Read everything. I play this game for the history.
I read most of the text unless it's that awful pirate-whatever-speak with 5 bajillion apostrophes that I can't understand for the life of me what they're saying half the time. >.>
