SKIP CS Option PLEASE!

The cutscenes are crap. It's a videogame cutscene. If I want to read a book I'll read a book. If I want to watch a movie I'll watch a movie. The best aspect of this game was rdm/nin soloing the world back at 75.

Give them a "skip cutscenes" option.

Give me a cutscene theater in Jeuno where I can rewatch my favorites at any time without having to go to a goblin footprint in some god forsaken part of Vanadiel.

I agree Loki on both counts.

This is a total non-issue. Even if you have no interest at all in the story, cutscenes outside of those storylines aren't that common, and they're one-shot deals. Just fast click through them and it's over with. If you're doing stuff for the gear, you have what, the stuff at the end of ROTZ and COP, you've got some cutscenes when entering an Abyssea zone for the first time and when exiting the first time after beating the boss. A few cutscenes in Hall of the Gods. All this stuff put together is going to take up maybe 3 hours of your life, tops, and you're done for good. Generally a single piece of +2 Empyrean armor takes up more than that.

Actually, CoP is a total of 8 hours, and ROTZ is something like an hour and a half. The point still stands though. These are one shot deals that take less time than the majority of activities in this game.

What? No mention of Wings of the Goddess? There are cutscenes in that take take longer then the entire ToAU storyline, and that's counting having to wait for Japanese Midnight.

Longest one I can remember is the 10 minute CS you get when zoning in to the Throne Room for Darkness Descends. Granted I haven't made it past When Wills Collide just yet, so I could be wrong.

Okay so I can understand not being interested in the story. But here's the thing; these missions are OPTIONAL. If the cutscenes are so bothersome, why not just avoid the storyline missions all together? CoP is the only one that opens up new areas in terms of endgame content and gear. ROTZ opens up Apocalypse Nigh and Divine Might earrings. That's about it. But if a one time series of cutscenes is THAT hard to bear, just find something else to stick in those equipment slots.

I think it's odd how people pay money to play this game, then insist on all these shortcuts so that they don't have to go through the agony of actually having to play.

very long cs's are why I quit ff13 2 hours into I had 90 min of cs and 30 min of action.
FFXI is no different who doesnt remember accidently triggering a 30+ min cs in Whitegate and losing invites to parties who didn't want to wait 30+ min for you.
Your assumption that people want to watch movies and not play games is a little ridiculous lately.
I agree skip a CS option would be nice like when you start one in a bcnm you've already done
I have done every single mission in the game just completed bastok wotg to claim that achievement and honestly after spending hours running around all over the place and then just watch a cs thats simply a waste of my time is so much "fun" but I survived it all so meh...
Few people even read them anymore I lose my interest after 5 min and it goes on and on and next thing I know 30 min have passed..... and its still not over.
Skip CS option yes please
