How can I disable the cut scenes ?

1 thing that really irritates me is the combat cut scenes. When some pop out and others don't it hinders the quality of the game. No matter how much u ask people at the start- people are people- naturally rude when it comes to anonmyous MMO atmospheres.

I would like to know how, as a PC user, I can permanently disable my cut scenes for the benefit of the party, as a healer, and watch the cinema at a later time when I'm relaxing.

How about everyone watch the cutscenes together so no one hinders any one?

Cant get that when you do the roulettes @ 50. People that randomly pick to join groups don't want to wait, which are usually the tanks driving the groups. Since theyre the ones in NEED and the rest of us aren't, our opinions don't matter.

Rather than semi flame my question how about add something more constructive unless u have nothing to add, in that case I was hoping there would be a easy file I could disable in a lua file or maybe an option for future patch fixes to allow the player to shut off the cut scenes while in fights/dungeons.

My answer was a metaphorical response to your query on how impossible it is to achieve your said goal.

Say... you disabled YOUR cutscene, somehow, then what? What about the other 3 to 7 people who is in your group? You want to disable their "lua" file as well? Or may be have a future patch fix where the party leader can deprive others of their opportunity to enjoy cutscenes which was meant to watch at that time?

You want a constructive answer? Sure, use party finder and get yourself a group who wants to skip cutscenes. But don't expect SE will implement cutscenes toggle functions. Because it is the core element of the final fantasy genre.

BTW, I am a tank too and I can tell you, I am not in need.

AND, no, I believe my team's opinions matter. "Opinions", mind you, not demands.

I've wanted this option for a while. They've implemented cutscene skipping for travel, but not duties yet, as far as I know.

Asdamine, your point of view is narrow. Some people, like me, just want it because we skip them anyways after repeating a dungeon. It would just be nice to not have to manually end them each time, regardless of whether or not we have to wait for other party members to watch.

But that is the trend people goes, right? Some people complaining to others for not skipping cutscenes, and if the toggle cutscene function is implemented, SOME people will complain to others for not ticking the option, then after a while, some people will complain to SE and say removing cutscenes all together.

You do see where I am going, right? The OP calls me semi-flaming, but he failed to realise the potential consequences of what he is asking, before asking it.

It's like people whine about not enough gil, SE put more gil in WP and AK. People whine about not getting Goobue mount, SE put in the damn mount. Now do you see where I am going?

I understand you are saying it is your individual needs. But your individual needs will affect others, and in this case, it could be very negative.

What's stopping people from complaining about removing the cutscenes altogether now? Giving us an option to auto skip isn't going to affect others anymore than people skipping (or not skipping) manually.

Well, I have already stated how detrimental it would be for proposing such a function.

But I have yet to hear a negative reason for NOT implementing this function.

Unless you can give me a negative reason for not having the toggle function and that such reason outweighs what I have said, then this concludes our discussion.

Want to join a group that skips all the cutscense make a premade.
Want to use DF roulette and get rewards, suck it up.
Not sure about you but when I play dungeons on my alt I am relaxing and watching the scenes. Using df and expecting the run to go your way is ludicrous.

Example of someone who hasn't read anything in this thread.

No one said anything about forcing others to skip cutscenes, except Asdamine's slippery slope argument.

That's right! No one said anything about forcing others to skip cutscenes, just your own!

But oh wait, if you can auto skip it, everyone will demand everyone to auto skip it! *gasp* Wow, what comes around really goes around, does it?

Lets just manually skip the cutscenes yourself a call it a day? So SE doesn't need to hire more people for programming, don't need to pay more over-time for their staff and o wait, you'll still pay your sub! Wonderful!

Seems to me OP wants everyone to skip cutscences. Like I said before do not use df and try to conform a group to what YOU want it to be.

I would like to disable the movies as well. I don't even watch them and zero interest in the story.

Not sure why someone is getting on a soap box.

Well your the only one that's ever presented their self this way. The many tanks I've ran on the Roulette Duty Finders are NOT what you currently preach. I was hoping for some tech support for a future config/fix addon for at least an option rather than me and the rest of us to constantly have to manually skip a scene over and over while grinding out dungeons for gear.

Final Fantasy has always been heavy story relate and a lot play cause of the name. The FF fan base and MMO fan base are being mixed and clashing a lot.

I do watch cutscenes and keep up with the story. When I do a dungeon for the first time, I don't care if I'm in a duty finder or a premade party, I watch cutscenes. It's just after I've seen a cutscene once, I don't really need to watch it anymore while repeating dungeons. It's not a huge deal for me to just esc out of cutscenes each time, but it'd be nice to just have it autoskip or never start in the first place if I've already seen it.

Imagine having to esc out of the opening movie each time you start the game, that's kind of how I feel every time I enter a dungeon, start/end a boss fight, or do Castrum Meridianum/Praetorium.

ist called hitting esc. use it there is no need for a disable button. wow doesnt do it. FFXIV doesnt need it

Oh, well if WoW doesn't do it, that changes my opinion completely. After all, WoW is 100% flawless. I don't get why you guys are so against something that wouldn't affect you at all. If hitting esc a few times in each dungeon is what rocks your boat, just don't enable skipping.

What they need to do is split the roulette and story into two different dungeon. If you use roulette it takes you to one if you use DF it takes you to another. Fixed
