What's with the subtitle speed on Panzer Dragoon Saga?

Just started playing the game, but I'm finding the subtitle speed to be way too fast. Is there a way to fix this in the settings or something? The game only gives you like a second to read through the sentences when they come up, and I'm constantly missing out on the dialogue because of it.

Couldn't find anything in the options menu for the game. Looks like I'll just have to deal with it, unless someone knows of another way to slow them down.
