DEVS - Please allow cutscenes to not even be loaded/auto-skipped

[Altonfenri]

the problem is you literally have to spam dungeons 15 times to get myths for a single af, so the cs's are a huge pain.

Like for Op. This option should've been in the game from the very beginning. This is not only an issue for PS3, but for players with slow loading PCs(I tried playing on my secondary q6660/5770 machine and everything seemed to take forever)

If possible, this is something I'd like to see added during the next hotfix, not major patch. This is creating an issue that will more than likely ruin end-game for a lot of fresh 50's, so it should be top priority.

After checking on this concern with the event planner, the team confirmed they're looking into an option to suspend the display of cutscenes for events like taking an airship.
Likewise the development team is also looking into the possibility of this option for dungeon cutscenes.

We don't have a specific date when this will be implemented but we'll update you when more information is available.

Thank you! It would mean a lot to people who play on PS3 and/or slow PCs if you could implement this for us.

Seriously, how much time do cut-scenes add? Probably 2mins at most. Is it that bad that a run takes 15 mins instead of 13 mins? If that 2mins is a deal-breaker for you, you shouldn't be queing up for a run. You really don't have the time, and its not other peoples problem if your "down to the wire" time-wise. Get over yourself and grow up. Talk about first-world problems.

What ps3 takes 30 seconds to load up a CS before you can skip it o.0

At the most mine takes like 2-3 seconds longer than when on pc.. CS are usually triggered near bosses or at the start, and the boss rooms have a 15 second timer before it seals off, nobody should be left behind unless they just not paying attention, or internet is just not that great and using wifi on top if it being not that great or something..

When you enter these dungeons for the first time for story mode, you would want to immerse yourself in the story. That is what FF is all about. However, the issue is everyone is using your story dungeon for farmng.

If SE did not give you the option of watching your cutscene in the inn, and not give us the option to skip cutscenes, then I can understand watching cutscenes all the time.

You have the option of watching the cutscene at your own leisure in the inn room, and all cutscenes are there, just you have to look. CAST alone has 11 scenes, each ranging from 15sec - 45sec. That is like 6-8min just on cutscenes.

Now you first timers I get your grief, but you have to understand the other people point of view. When we have to farm to get FULL DL, that is 5010 tomes of phi. That means they have to run 50 CAST to gear up. imagine if all 50 runs you have to watch cutscenes. Almost an hour worth of cutscenes.

Either separate out the story with the speeders or you gonna have to deal with the speed runners coz they are the majority now.

30 seconds? wtf connection you got...I'm on ps3 and my load screens are barely even 10 seconds I'm usually first to skip scenes before most PC players in my FC....

Besides wanting to be able to make my HUD layout even smaller(the smallest right now feels like it takes up over half of the screen. :/ On the other MMO I play, I made my interface(aka HUD) *TINY* and translucent... I absolutely love it that way.), turning off cutscenes is one of the features I'd like to see implemented as soon as possible.

u can make them smaller with Ctrl + Home in the hud layout.
