I'm sure it has been said many time before.... but...

I agree with elvin that there should not be story cutscenes during a dungeon. We are expected to play dungeons many dozens or hundreds of times to accumulate the rewards, but it is unreasonable to watch the same story sequences that many times. The very first time I played the dungeons I had the foresight to skip the cutscenes and watch them after exiting the dungeon to not keep people waiting.

I find the mindset that you should completely skip part of the game, to better cater to the impatience of others simply astounding.

Cut-scenes in dungeons are something I find to be a great addition to the game. What I don't agree with is having experienced players run with people who are experiencing CS for the very first time - preferring the option of keeping people like you and Elvin at bay, whilst inviting more pleasant human being to help newbs like me, rewarding them with even more tomes / gear / titles / rare pets or whatever it may be.

Party finder sucks for Story Mode dungeons excellent for everything else.

I will never understand how people have the audacity to expect you to skip CS in STORY especially in a Final Fantasy game. Especially if it's your first time. If it erks you that bad there is other ways to get tomes. Unless you paid my sub go do some speed runs somewhere else

Could not agree with you more. Of all the games they expect us to skip parts of the story on, they choose FF... absolutely ludicrous.

Hello, Hotfoot. Sorry to see you quit the dungeon, but I do understand why you did and I was on the verge to quit too. the tank argued/fought with the new tank that joined, and it became rather childish. But let's forget about that.

I sincerely hope you get to watch all the cutscenes AND fight all the bosses the next time you enter Praetorium.

Hi Niko, yeah I'm genuinely sorry to have left - that is the first time I have ever quit and it took me a few moments just to figure out how to leave. But it was just too much. I went out of my way to make sure it was cool with everyone (watching cut scenes) but when you have a MT isolating players from fights and skipping half the dungeon, it makes for an incredibly frustrating experience - not one that I pay a subscription for!

Thank you again for your support whilst we were in there. I wish more people were like you

I love Final Fantasy cutscenes. In CM, I don't like that there are cutscenes placed so close together - especially when some can start whether or not the party is still in battle. The can be very dangerous for the party, and causes confusion.

I have no problem waiting on people to watch dungeon cs in most situations. On my first run, I chose to skip all scenes, and then went to the inn to watch them in order, at my own pace, where I could enjoy them without worrying if while I was watching a cs, people were getting attacked. I wish SE would make it impossible for a new cs to start if battle is currently taking place. I also wish that there was an option to "skip all scenes" available once an individual player has already viewed them before.

I think people would mind less if you actually COULD watch those cutscenes later, but aside from the intro and outro, you cannot re-view any of the cinematics of the dungeon run. In dungeons like Castrum Meridianum this is pretty much unforgivable.

I didn't know this - that makes it even worse! I hope 2.2 brings some resolution to this as it verges on game breaking. I have no desire to run again without the full help of my FC.

Not true, unless I am not understanding what you are saying. If you go to watch the CS at the inn for CM, there is 12-13 that you have to watch. Every one that you get through the dungeon itself, you can re-watch in the Inn.

Edit: I'm not promoting skipping CS btw, I always wait for people if its their first time as well. Just stating that this is wrong.

One time, someone triggered the airship going down cutscene while the two big guys were pulled to full health cannons. Fun fact, you are immune to damage while in a cutscene, the cannons are not. Skipped cutscene, came back to dead cannons and those two giants killing the people who came out of cutscene first. Normally i have no problem with cut scenes or people watching them, but in this dungeon, they seem to happen mid fights, which is more than annoying.

Except... You can watch them all in the Inn, IIRC, go look under Scenario or Main Scenario cutscenes in the dropdown menu.
