Not being able to skip cutscenes...

[Trensharo]

You keep forgetting that IT IS A CHOICE. Anybody who is doing them is doing them by choice, which right there they lose any argument. If you chose to do it, quit complaining, you knew your choice. Otherwise CHOOSE to do something else. The "newbies " chose to do it, and as far as MSQ it's only required once, which I am sure they will watch and enjoy.

Not this newbie. I started skipping everything because I realized just how much time this game wastes with cut scenes and dialogs. It felt incredibly unproductive, and was exhausting to read through all of it. I'm sorry I don't have a Kindle Paperwhite display on my computer... Eye strain is a thing, and reading pages and pages of text in a game... Well, I don't find that enjoyable after an hour or so.

The amount of clicking required to get through it is still [literally] physically discomforting (because it's not, at all, ergonomic).

The cut scenes could have been a nice time to relax at the end of, between quests and objective, but not... They had to be annoying clickfests as well.

To save myself from CTS, I skip them entirely. All of them.

The point of an RPG is to play a role. Not to be strung along on some long, drawn out, force-fed story. We should be creating our own story. I think obsession with the "story of the game" is kind of missing the point of why many of us actually play these types of games. I have literally no interest in whatever pre-fabricated story Square Enix has written for my character.
