Please let us exit a MSQ cutscene without skipping it

Just had my roulette queue pop at the start of a MSQ cutscene and I was on a different class so I couldn't accept without "Skip cutscene?". I don't want to skip story cutscenes so had no choice but to miss my roulette pop, gaining me one strike withdrawal for the day, as well as putting me back at the end of the queue. Role Waiting Number: After #50.

Please, can we have the option to "Exit cutscene" that will reset the quest back to the start? For situations where we need to exit watching cutscenes but don't want to skip them.

Popping in here to give my approval for this. I took quite a few hits in duty finder during ShB as I refused to skip those cutscenes.

You can always rewatch them in your inn room (or your house or apartment if you have the housing item).

It kind of sucks that people make you feel like you have to skip them. Although usually nobody says anything. The fact that everybody is rushing makes you feel like you don't have a lot of choice. Although you can watch them in your room. Its not the same as watching them when they are actually happening.

At least those cutscenes that are triggered by talking to an NPC or interacting with a location, if you enter a duty while watching, you will be placed back to the moment before you started the cutscene, when you return. The quest objective won't mark as complete until the cutscene is either skipped or completely watched. Not sure what happens if it's one of those cutscenes that are triggered by merely walking to a location, but those are a rarity.

If you're on a different job when DF pops, then yeah, you're kinda boned. It's just a strike though; I get those all the time but only once have I actually been struck out.

If you plan on doing something cutscene-laden while in DF I would advise not changing classes if you can help it.

A lot of cutscenes aren't in the Unending Journey. Like, the past 3 times I went to look for a cutscene I had to skip, none of them were there.

The problem the OP is having though is that they've changed to a different job from what they entered the DF queue with, meaning they are unable to accept the DF ping while in the cutscene, and they aren't able to change back to the queued class without skipping the cutscene.

Either not all of them or they only show up in there after completing a certain amount of stuff after it.
A friend had this exact thing happen a few days ago and couldn't find it in the inn room and had to find it on youtube, and it's a thing I've had happen to me in the past too.

I really don't know why this isn't an option.
It's easy to brush it off with "then just don't queue for stuff when you're doing the msq" but if your queue estimate is around half an hour or something what do you expect to happen.

OP is referring to quest cutscenes, not in-dungeon. Y'know. Queue up a duty and run some quests while you wait.

Major complication here is when entering those cutscenes on a different job than what you queued for. Can't enter duty until you've changed jobs. Can't change jobs until you're out of cutscene.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't accepting a queue in the middle of a cutscene cancel the cutscene and therefor being able to watch it from the start once back again?
I'm sure I have some faint memory if used to be like that.

Edit: See now that someone else already mentioned this.

I've had this as well. There is at least 1 MSQ cutscene that you can not watch again... so if you skip it (like I did), the only way to view it is to find it on youtube. There likely are others as well that do not show up (either MSQ or job/role/side quest). Otherwise if it is viewable in the inn, you still have to finish the quest before it will show up for re-watching
