Annoying little CSs

I can't count the number of times I've missed a ferry or an airship entirely because of the stupid "walk through the gate/walk through the door" cutscenes. Seriously, they serve no purpose, they add no story benefit, they don't do anything but piss people off, so there's no reason to keep them around.

There is alot more work to it then one can assume.

Stop running your mouth about things you don't understand then?
Coding is not that difficult. Especially considering what SE has been able to produce lately from their scripts, changing something as tiny as this would not be difficult at all, just a bit time consuming.

Yes, there is some work involved...that is why they pay their Developers.

Unfortunately, I think they were put in for a purpose. My guess is that this was added as a way to prevent using Tractor to access places that require quests/missions to open.

Still, there is nothing as frustrating as missing the airship by 5 steps and you just know that the CS is why you couldn't board.

They could add a skip button, but would it be worth being able to sneak attack from the front, or having the worms chase you through Qufim?

That is based on a true story, long ago (I want to say Dec 2004) worms could chase you until there was an emergency maintenance.

Son of a bitch, I started at the end of december 04, did I seriously miss that?

I agree with the OP. These CSs may be a minor nuisance, but there is no good reason they shouldn't be removed altogether after the first time, or have an option to skip them after viewing it once. They already implemented this with the Provenance entrance (which, honestly, was one of the most irritating little cutscenes of all), so obviously it is possible to make changes/improvements in this vein.

I have another example, just in case the community team should happen to take a look at this post and manage to
ignore the fighting to see the point of the topic. By the way, am I the only one who finds it tiresome that every single thread quickly devolves into the same 5 or 6 people yelling at each other? Does no one's parents teach them anymore that if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all?

Entering/leaving Tenshodo. I find this irritating when I just want to buy some crafting mats.

I don't claim to be a programmer, but why would this be so difficult to implement? Why would we have to add this to thousands of cutscenes? Global functions, anyone?


void skipCutscene(currentCutscene, playerSkipButton)
{
if (playerSkipButton = true)
{
endCutscene();
}
}

One I completely forgot about, atleast they put the BCNM warp NPC on the Jeuno side of the door and not inside the Tenshodo.
