I had one douche in my final story mission dungeon complaining about waiting because we were taking too long in the cutscenes. The only reason this guy would be there was for the storyline missions. Which tells me that this PoS skipped all of the storyline in this game, wanting only to skip towards the endgame content. What a loser. If you don't care about the storyline you don't belong in my Final Fantasy MMO.
The pressure to skip cut-scenes!

All these complaints about people not skipping the cut scenes... to me its sitting in a theater, screaming at the projectionist to fast forward to the credits and when people complain, they casually say "LoL, just watch it on DVD/Blu-ray".
Its the same because the INN viewing is the same cut scene but not in the same context as experiencing it the dungeon and before/after fights. Those saying "it ruins my fun when people watch cut scenes", to that I ask, how does it ruin your fun. It will still take the exact same amount of time to complete with or without the cut scene. It doesn't shorten or lengthen the actual dungeon in any way, it doesn't make you do less damage, nor does it effect boss strength in any way. It merely momentarily delays your departure but a minute, maybe two. I just wish they'd add a "ring of slow your roll" during cut scenes that happen mid run. So to keep those impatient people from just pull stuff while there may be a new person experiencing the content for the first time.
The game is barely a week out of the gate, in time the majority of people will have seen all the cut scenes and most will skip through it anyways so this will happen less and less. Why not sit back and chill until then. -

My chat box disappears during cut-scenes, sooo if anyone has been yelling at me to skip I've certainly missed it. I mean if you want to go ahead and lock me out of a boss go right ahead, my story quest only requires I complete the dungeon; I couldn't give two shits about loot on my first time there. I'm dps, the group will survive without me in most cases; frankly I'd feel more pressured if I had chosen to roll a tank or healer as my first class.

I never had anyone ask me to skip cutscenes, and I fully expect people to want to watch them so I let them. Its a game that they paid for let them watch it.:cool:

I skipped cutscenes due to pressure from people in my party, but I regret it. Personally, I think the FFXIV community is shit. Complete and utter shit. I've found more respect in an FPS full of children. A lot of people in this thread prove that. Playing with randoms is the worst, so I'm going to try to play with people in my FC a lot more.

I intend to watch every cut scene, even if I've done them before, until I get bored of them. I also intend to make a macro that states I will be watching cut scenes, which I'll use whenever I enter parties, and that if any one does not like it, speak up and I'll leave. Just takes one person.
White Mage here. I pay to play how I want, just like they do. If they don't want to wait for someone to watch cut scenes, they don't have to. And I certainly don't have to group with them. -

This goes for both sides of the argument. -
