Even better, just skip all the cutscenes, that is what I plan on doing.

I did it. I hated it. I skipped everything, and my biggest complaint was that the SB trial wasn't soloable. So we duo'd it, SAM/DNC.

Hearing that a level 70 trial isn't soloable makes me kind of sad. So excited for that... /s

I can solo a lot of other things, and it's a chain mechanic that makes it undoable, not something like outgoing damage. I imagine next expansion maybe. :p

Skip the cutscenes if you dislike it. If you dont like the story you aren’t going to miss anything you care about anyways.

Almost as if what we want is stories that are meaningful and involved enough to warrant us not skipping it.

I hear there's a party on Balmung tonight where you can create meaningful and involved storylines

There is a low amount of people who are 100% happy with everything in this game. There is always something that someone doesnt like/wants changed. They cant cater to everyone. I didnt like the Ivalice stuff but I still did it.

Different people find different things meaningful. I enjoy the comedy, although it's certainly far easier if it had been done as it came out rather than all at once.

See this is the issue. These stories *are* meaningful and involved enough not to skip. They're wrapped in comedy, but they have world-building, memorable characters, and sometimes make some pretty pointed commentary about the cultures in the areas they're taking place in. I'm not going to point out specifics because a lot of people are going to be discovering this soon and I don't want to spoil the surprises. But the HW line alone without the comedic trappings would be pretty heart-breaking. And it was a nice homage to the central side character referenced in it.

Some people can't get past the silly and that's fine. They don't have to. But to say that these quests aren't meaningful is doing them a disservice. It is not just the comedy that makes people love Hildibrand.
