    Yes! This sounds more natural to me.

    To me that would be, "We conversed a long time."

          я за "длинный разговор" как вариант. I stand for ДЛИННЫЙ РАЗГОВОР, which is a possible way of translation too.

          Compare google search results "длинный разговор" - аbout 1,300,000 results and "долгий разговор" - аbout 673,000 results - two times less.

          "длинный разговор" found in the following books: 1. Pushkin's correspondence https://goo.gl/Bbzxwh 2. Gogol http://goo.gl/YA8cuo 3. Leo Tolstoy "Anna Karenina" http://goo.gl/nfX5h7

            Usually долгий is about time, and длинный about either size or time.

              "беседа" не принято почему-то
