Even for me who thoroughly enjoy long cutscene, it was rough. I probably have around a dozen times I lost focus during the cutscenes. Hell, I even skip one halfway through, and this is the first for me.

And to someone who said "well, old jrpg comes in 4 disc", isn't that due to one disc not enough for the entire game, so they need to split it up? Not always because it got lengthy cutscenes?

I think persona series manage to keep a good balance between story and action. The new tales of arise is quite good at it too.
I said that because yeah it was due to that obviously but the devs still spaced out the story to cater to having an act structure between discs which I thought was a great detail. At least with FFIX's case
