The pressure to skip cut-scenes!

[Ispen]

Not all cutscenes are available to view at the inn room. But why anyone would want to sit through the dungeon cutscenes every single time is beyond me.

Not every time but the first time enjoy your wait cause i will be watching it.

Watching CS in inn is NOT the same as watching them when they should be watched. Its those speedrunning elitist pricks that are ruining new players fun that can never be replaced.
Gather full party manually if u dont want first timers.

EDIT:
Although i agree matching first timers with other first timers should be prioritized, in any party content, as strategy briefing is also some kind of spoiler.

So glad this has been said. Here here.

hmmmmmmm. to all you CS haters and people that complain about having to wait. I wish I could watch the CS 2 times.........in the instance.
everyone has something to say I understand that but complaining about CSs come on lol all because your in a hurry and dont want to wait for the first timers.

This exact reason is why I will fight endlessly to make sure Vote Kick is very regulated or never added. No one should get kicked or pressured for enjoying the game. I'm done with the story but I'll be watching the cutscenes in full from now on to make sure my party gets to enjoy the full game. Go to my innroom and watch them? Why don't you go to your innroom and cry about it?

One rude person watching a cutscene and holding up seven others ruins the fun of the seven people being forced to wait on someone else.


It goes both ways.

No, it doesn't work both ways. SE spent the time designing the cutscenes for one reason alone--that they would be watched. If a person plays the game the way it is intended to be played, that person shouldn't receive the hostility of others too impatient to sacrifice a couple minutes of their time.

The simplest solution would be to disable cutscene skipping if someone in the party is running the dungeon for the first time. Then any pressure to skip the scenes would be removed, and the impatient players wouldn't be able to lash out against those just wanting to experience the story for the first time (I know, wanting to experience the story--shocking, isn't it?).

Have you played SWTOR? THAT is pressure. I haven't had any problems with this at all in FFXIV.

SPACEBAR! SPACEBAR! SPACEBAR! ;p

[Seig345]

SWTOR was ridiculous, every single time I ran an instance, at LEAST one ADHD player would be like

"OMGLOLSKIPIT"
"DUDEBROSKIP!"
"SKIP IT"
"PRESS SPACEBAR"
"SKIP"
"SKIP"
"SKIP"

Thankfully I haven't run into that issue yet in FFXIV, but I'm sorry to hear that the same idiotic issue made it over here. Personally I'm gonna tell anyone I see doing that (even if it's one that I've already done and have skipped the cutscene/waiting) to shut up. I too have enjoyed the story a great deal so far and I don't care if not skipping the cutscenes means I have to queue for the dungeon a second time because someone else is impatient.

Honestly, PUGs by their very nature are not conducive to having everything go exactly the way YOU want it to, unless the way you want it to go is supported by the game's design (in this case being able to watch the cutscene if you want and not being forced by the game to skip). That's what FC's and LS's are for.

I'm with Akira-Tenshi, would be nice if they added a check box just like start the dungeon mid-way in Duty Finder for those wanting just to speed run.

Let the new players, first time players enjoy the cut scenes without being rushed, my wife rushes me... watch it later, you need to get ready to tank... /sigh ><
