you know, it might just be me, being my crazy self and all that... but this particular part of the story I liked.

"When I arrived in this land, I was beset with peril day and night- forced to endure countless trials which tested my mind, my body, and my faith. And I am not ashamed to admit that I would have faltered, had it not been for the help of a handful of nameless adventures much like yourself. Honest men and women who proffered the hand of friendship to a weary soul and led him safe from the darkness.

I pondered long over how I could repay the kindness shown me."

again it could be me...but to me it is a reference to the hardships that yoshi p and the team went through for this game and the adventurers mentioned being the players pulling him and the team through.
