The pressure to skip cut-scenes!

[Incendium]

Can't you watch them from your room?

Can't you watch them from your room?

Can't you just not play FFXIV:ARR at all and just watch someone stream it or look up a video on youtube?

[Thaldor]

I have never come across this yet.... and will refuse to do so. I want to experience the game and if they cannot see that then i know some people who wont get heals :P

Can't you watch them from your room?

would you rather watch a game with friends in real-time or would you just rather see the highlight reel on the news?

[Elaria]

Nope, I will not skip the CS nor ask anyone to. Who am I to tell anyone what they can or can't watch? My main is also a healer so if you're in that much of a rush and not need my heals then I hope you brought potions.

To some people beating things quickly is the fun, not watching cut scenes. Why do people that watch the cut scenes ruin the other persons fun...?

True. But since I didn't buy your copy of the game and I won't be paying for your subscription to it, I won't be telling you how to play. So what gives you the right to tell me I have to rush through content I enjoy to make you happy?

Same could be set about people who want to watch cut scene's without pressure to skip. Please..

If you choose to use the DF to farm an instance, you have put yourself in the position of being grouped with a first-timer. You made that choice, you live the with consequences. If you do not like the consequences, then you should take the advice given and form a farm group. In the end, it is your choice how you enjoy your game experience and others' choice how they enjoy theirs--but you do not have the right to dictate that choice to anyone.

I ignore this and I just watch cut scene when I am new to it.

[Neptune]

ohh honest mistake....no i will never ask someone to skip a cutscene...but if it is my first CS then yes i will watch it...but i will drop if they make a big issue with it

In that case, I salute you sir. Leave those peeps hangin'.

For the dungeons that we are talking about it doesn't really work like this at all...

When you actually hit 50 and do the dungeons we're talking about you will find out why people ask you to skip some of them. Especially in Praetorium...

The problem is that it's not just happening at 50. I've seen this at lower levels already. I have absolutely no issue with what's being said about Praetorium: if it's for the good of the group and necessary to avoid a wipe because the cs's are ill-timed and because the battle goes on as the cs occurs, then it's only logical to skip it. I'm talking about cs's that do not occur mid-battle, that the fight isn't triggered until after the cs is over--which people are doing because they just don't want to wait. That is what I'm seeing and no, it's not okay when viewing the cs doesn't impact the group meaningfully.

Wow is this really an issue? So much sense of entitlement on these forums. I'm 90% positive no one skips their first time watching a cut scene, game has been out officially out..what 8 days? What's the rush people? This game will be around for a while believe me so people better get used to it or quit. I'm okay with either.
