Do NOT be cheated. Do NOT skip cutscene in Praetorium.

EDIT:
Pardon my ignorance, I didn't know there's a sub-category "Duty", which is sooooooo far down the list.
And no, I didn't go read all those other threads, nowadays forum are filled with so much hate, I prefer to actually play and enjoy the game instead.
My bad, sorry for this thread.

So yea, whoever first-timer into dungeons, you can view all cutscenes through Unending Journey.
As to whether a first-timer should skip, or if everyone else should wait, that is a debate I wish not to participate.


EDIT2:
Gawd...those cutscenes are brilliant...
I highly recommend: do not skip. But again, it's mere recommendation.

ORIGINAL THREAD:
Just finished the main story line...and there's one regret, I wish to share with all of you:

Whoever doing Praetorium for the first time, if there's someone tell you to skip cutscene and told you: "Just view them in inn later", DO NOT do this, you simply can't. The "Un-ending Journey" in inn only shows you the beginning and the end, it doesn't show you all the cutscenes in between each phases.

I am not sure if this only applies to Praetorium or all dungeons, but just ignore those who ask you to skip (except for begin & end).


As for SE:
Please adds those cutscenes into inn.
or
Pauses timer and make all boss/item invulnerable/uninteractable if someone's watching cutscenes.




Curses to whoever do this to first-timer, may all his/her dungeon runs drop naught...wait, nay, may all his/her dungeon runs drop good stuff for every other teammates, just not him/her, and his/her roll on greed always the lowest.

*Go back to rerun Praetorium for cutscene*

Yep agreed. You'd be a fool to let speed running elitists rob you of the best online story dungeon experience out there.

No, you can watch all 13 Cutscenes from Praetorium in the inn. It's under Duty. I skipped all my first time, without prodding, by choice, and watched them all there.

I don't advocate people skip if it's their first time, but not being able to watch in the inn is false.

Pretty sure the cutscenes you want ARE there, just under Duty rather than main story quests? That's what people have been saying, anyway.

Edit: Beat to it XD

Didn't you make the same thread yesterday? And didn't someone already pointed out other CS can be viewed via dungeons category in the inn?
Seriously stop attention seeking and stop trolling

Yeah they are indeed all available via the Inn. OP needs to actually look at all the sub sections before assuming then spreading false info.

I watched all the cutscenes after my first clear. What are you talking about?

To be clear: if it's your first time, I will never tell you to skip the cutscenes...

However, now that you have, let me tell you how to view all of the cutscenes you skipped:

There are two sections in "The Unending Journey" you need to watch. I suggest watching the "Duty" for Praetorium first. Watch through every single cutscene and you will know what's going on, what the enemies say, etc. Once you are done with all of those cutscenes, move onto the Main Scenario quest... the last one you have on your list. Keep in mind, you'll have hand the quest in before you can view the cutscenes in the inn, which will mean slight spoilers once you journey back to the Vesper Bay to turn it in. I would suggest turning it in, going to your inn, watching the cutscenes, and then going back to pick up the next quest.

Watching the final cut scenes of the game in the inn is lame.

Isn't there already several other threads about this?

I personally make it a point to chastise those that demand first timers view them later at the INN. Tanks usually leave immediately, but who cares. The point is that even if you CAN watch them in the INN why should you? You should watch the story unfold as you're doing it, not later on just remembering what you did while in there.

Normally I don't like to make these kinds of suggestions, but I wish you COULDN'T skip the cut scenes your first time through. That way people can't complain, and everyone that wants to watch can do so without feeling pressured.

Yep, there even is a SEARCH option to see if the topic was posted before!

Personally I wouldnt push people to skip the cutscene though an exception may be if the dungeon timer is starting to get low, personally I rather have time for another attembt or a bit more leanway timer wise, but I still wouldnt press people to skip the cutscenes. I dont mind the wait.

I skipped the cutscenes, sadly, and went to the Inn to rewatch them, but I don't see them anywhere. The Main Story section is the only section in my book that has anything in it so I have no idea what happened at the end. So lame. :/ I don't remember seeing a Duty section anywhere. The Sidequest section is blank (I haven't done them passed lv 15, saving them for other classes) and the Grand Company ones are also blank. Didn't have a Duty section . . .

Didn't help maintenance started, so I will definitely look again, but I was pretty thorough.

Duty is the last thing in the list, if you did ANY dungeon it will have something there.

itd be nice if the timer stops and a barrier surrounds the party like in primal fights, i skipped all the scenes as to not be a burden on my party because the clock is ticking but if they pause the timer i wouldnt of been worried. have yet to watch my scenes lol

Hmm. I'll have to look again. Maybe there is another scroll bar in the drop down menu.... thanks for the response. :)

The "you can watch on the inn" "argument" is irremediably stupid when there are first-timers because it breaks context, breaks the very feeling of a final dungeon, and first of all: there's plenty of time.

On my first time, only one vet. His advice was harsh, was there only to farm. Kinda broke the feeling, but even so I watched everything, rushed a little through the text, but I can read key words and make up what's happening, so it's no big deal.

We had one wipe at the very end of that fight in the end when that special thing happens, and yet I left the instance with more than 30m left. I don't think all the CS together make up for more than 10 minutes, really.

So all you are doing is taking from the farmer "oh my precious 10 minutes I could be using to farm 1/6th of that next dungeon" but guess what - eveyone paid for the same product. And it is (and should be) the farmer's option to leave or not. Watch the damn CS if you are new, they are nice.

I think it would be nice if they froze everyone in place until all members have finished the cutscenes (sort of like they do at the start of a dungeon). It would prevent some of the more general asshattery that I've seen occur in Prae and CM.

10 mins of their life and they can die in real life the next min. Elitist are like wet paper towel. Just watch the cutscene and ignore any ppl who ask you to skip.

i dont really farm with pug now. And i dont mind first timers watching cutscenes but this is my opinion.

4+ ppl all watching cs together => great.

1 person makes 7 ppl waiting for him => not cool at all.

SO it really depends on the situation. k

Yes, you can view all the cutscenes at the inn.

However, if you're working through the main story and you've never seen the before, don't skip them. They're well worth watching and the impatient people there only to farm tomes need to simply get over it.

It seems like there's a bug right now. When I try to view the cutscenes under the Duty tab it doesn't show anything. Does anyone experience this as well?

ROFL

You have no problem with first timers in a dungeon watching cutscenes.

Then you bitch about a person watching a cutscene.

You sir, are a genius or an idiot.

EVERYONE is a first timer in a dungeon. Get it through your heads. It does not matter how many in a group are first timers. You were there. Don't give me any crap that you skipped scenes (all right some of you may have but not my point). And yes I also cannot see any scenes under Duty in my inn room. So no, I will not skip them just because you need more stuff.

I don't watch cutscenes for the first time in inn for the same reason I don't just watch them on YouTube in advance.

Is anybody still farming prae for phils after this hotfix anyway? Seems like a lot of better tomestone per hour options now.

I absolutely watched them all, within their intended context - while running the dungeon for my first time. Only one person was a dick about it.

But that one person is just going through the story quests, entering the dungeon through duty finder without knowing what to expect. He has made no agreement with anyone beforehand to skip cutscenes. And every individual has the right to experience the game as intended. If 7 farmers entered the df, they are still not an organized farm party, and the right of way goes to the one who wants to watch the cut scenes. If you want a full speed run party, shout for it.

It's much more fun to watch them in context than at the Inn.

I watched my cs on my first run. The group was ok with that. I wouldn't let those rushies to ruin my game experience, anyway. Man, this game is so full of antisocial behavior... I'm glad I found a good FC. -,-

I was robbed of my initial ending experience because the party was impatient. I read rather quickly so I'm going at the speed of the cut scenes. So, then I started skipping scenes just so I could ... oh i don't know . . . ACTUALLY fight my battle. In one case I still got locked out! It's ridiculous to think that I have to do this considering how much we pay for this game...MONTHLY. For these types of scenarios if there is a new player should not be skippable or at the very least the boss battle should not be able to start until they are in the room. I see numerous complaints about this issue and nothing seems to be done. An individual should not be robbed by their experience that they pay for just because everyone else is impatient. Imagine if you were at a dinner that you pay good money for and just because you actually want to take your time with tour courses you had to skip courses because no one else wanted to wait for you because "they already tasted it". Same concept. :mad:

Hmm im more concerned that no mention of butt sliders, tail toggles and the cash shop in this thread.
