Speed-running cut-scene skippers...

[RyujinUzikin]

Why can't people just sit in their inn rooms and watch a full movie of all cutscenes without anyone interrupting you?

I don't get it...

Why can't you just watch a videotape of your first child being born instead of actually being there?
Why can't you just look at what the weather was like today from the news at the end of the day instead of going outside?
Why can't you just watch FFXIV videos on YouTube instead of playing the game?

Why does everyone use the worst analogy possible? You're taking an extreme such as watching your child being born to skipping a videogame cutscene. Your third analogy might be okay, but still to a different level. Again, I'm all for not making people skip cutscenes (as long as they don't get mad at me for clearing the level while they're watching the cut scenes), but to use such analogies is just ignorant.

Extreme, sure, but it's done purposefully to get people to understand a point. You just...don't..skip..vital..things.

Regardless, everyone can stop blaming each other because there is only one thing you really can blame. Square Enix. Why would anyone make a story dungeon with 7 million cutscenes one you need to farm 50 times per job? Ridiculous design.

Next week by the way, they will be adding more options to get both of the tomes. Maybe it'll all be good then.

I don't have 20 kids a day, but I do 20 dungeons a day
I do look at news as to what the weather was like today...? Bad analogy.
I watch ffxiv videos, but i pay to play the game, and i play how i want, others too.

Your point?

Because all those thinngs dont require you holding up 7 other people... I watched all my Praetorium CS's in my inn. iT was actually better cause i didnt have anyone ele's mug all up in my story. I could pick my own outfit ,etc, watch and my own pace. There really no reason to hold up 7 other people to do something that can be better experienced in your inn room.

Because all cutscenes donnot show in the inn room as a tank if I find there are new people in the group that want to watch cutscenes I love that I can help them out by not forcing them to skip them. If you wanna speed run dont use DF make your own group its easier to put together than a story group

Because it ruins the immersion of the design as promoted by the developers. Yeah, you can watch the cut-scenes in your inn but it isn't the same, and you lose out on a lot of why you're doing what you're doing on your first run through.

I went through CM without realizing how awful people were going to be about playing cutscenes and rushing through the way we did (120 min dungeon completed with 80 min to spare with a few people doing first time) it made it the single worst dungeon experience I ever went through. It was so bad in fact that I never want to do CM again and I'd rather just do Primals or other dungeons with a lesser reward per run for tomestones then do that bull again.

So what I and my partner did when we went into Prae was state up-front that we wanted to watch the cutscenes. We made it clear up front and indicated if the majority weren't okay with that that we would drop group and wait for another. First one we did the majority weren't cool with it so I dropped, ate the 15 minute cooldown and waited for another group. This time the majority were okay with watching cutscenes so that's what we did. Two people complain but we all managed to make it through the dungeon with plenty of time, only had two wipes throughout the whole dungeon and had a good time. Much better than CM.

I think SE should add on their next patch something I suggested a while back, to divide in DF speed runs with regular runs. Speed runs free of cs and less time, regular runs with cs and full time.

I think it's a proper thing to divide newcomers with those who are just there to grind.


Sometimes people from your fc aren't around, or are too busy to party with you, DF never becomes obsolete.
