Someone demonstrated that it is possible to skip the cutscenes in the MSQ Roulette by disconnecting and reconnecting to FFXIV. Apparently the reconnect forces FFXIV to believe you've completed the cutscenes despite not having seen them.

This is a known thing amongst much of the community, but you can get banned for it so I suggest not doing it.

07-03-2019, 02:41 PMAlmagnus1I agree with your sentiment, but this becomes problematic when there's a couple in the group that want to expedite the instance along while the rest of us look at what they're doing and go "I don't want to possibly face a login queue, and that's an exploit".Quote:

I have my doubts that you are going to get banned for disconnecting and reconnecting. There is no way to check if you are just having bad Internet or if you are doing this on purpose.
I had a Group once who did this but personally I think it is too much hazzle to disconnect all the time and relogg (at least for me). And at least lately with ShB if you get disconnected in a cutscene (from the main Story line) and Login again, you are starting again in this cutscene.
Don't know if they adjust this for the MSQ as well at some Point. -

07-03-2019, 10:59 PMkidalutzIt is because alot of players who had already seen the MSQ were forcing new players to skip thier scenes, kicking the ones who didnt for being "afk", Yelling at first timers to hurry up and watch them in the inn!!,Being total jerks at the end with snide comments like your welcome for the carry or my shoulders are killin me from carrying your useless self as they were leaving and in general being utter reprehensible tools toward thier fellow players that this was enacted.Quote:

It was and is a fair middle ground new players get to experience the end of ARRs actual story the way it was meant to be experienced and others get compensated for their time. No amount of pissing and moaning about it is ever going to change that decision so might as well do one of two things either deal with it like others have, whine and moan in party chat like most have, be cheerful for more new players like a few have, or just dont do it if you dont want to have to see the scenes again like a very few have. -

If anything, there should be more scenarios added to the MSQ roulette.
Besides, SE could always add a voting system to skip cutscenes.
People are overly concerned with rushing to the end. Should learn to chill and enjoy the journey.
Find something else to do while waiting for the cutscenes to end. -
07-03-2019, 11:20 PMMisutoraruVoting won’t help if over half the team are veteran players, but I do agree more MSQ dungeon like those last dungeon of MSQ can be place into MSQ and adjust the reward according to the length of the dungeonQuote:
