Cutscenes

I dont know how many would agree with me but one of the reasons I cant seem to stayed interested in this game is the exhausting amount of cutscenes. Most of these are just completely unecessary banter. Way too many cutscenes and far too little combat. I mean Ive gone through questing in Dawntrail up to level level 92 content and I could count on two fingers how many times Ive actually had to fight. This game is glutted with cutscenes. I wish theyd give us more action.

Most of the combat in the game is outside of the MSQ. The cut scenes would drag less if the story was better.

Do you like JRPGs?

I have friends that agree with you so they either quit playing or play rarely. Personally, I enjoy how they add to story development and immersion. The real world isn't constant action; why would a fantasy world be that much different? Games don't have to be nothing more than a killing field.

There's plenty of content outside of the MSQ where we can get more constant action when we want it.

I wouldn't mind if the game added an unlock path for players with less interest in story (that doesn't require a real money purchase) even if I wouldn't use it myself. Roulettes and random matchmaking in Duty Finder could be locked to players that skip MSQ but they could still do the content with pre-formed parties or Duty Support. But I don't see it happening. Story is supposed to be central to the Final Fantasy experience so they want players to see it. If that's not your preference in games, there are plenty of other games to play.

I think the problem is that sometimes the cutscenes don't really serve any purpose. We have speech balloons and conversations normally; so pulling us into a cutscene only to see that happen can be kind of lame. At least some DO mess a bit with music and expressions but there are plenty of quests in particular that pull oyu into a convo just to have a modest simple convo.

Even worse, when you have a big voiced cutscene followed immediately by a small unvoiced cutscene that serves no purpose but to rehash what just happened in the voiced cutscene.
