People able to skip cutscenes in MSQ roullete o.o

Implying XIV is any different than the countless other FFs where we've mashed buttons in to skip through every cutscene and line of text as fast as possible, unless they straight up gave us a Skip Cutscene button. It's a Final Fantasy. Empire bad. You good. You save the good people with the power of goodness and overpowered friendship based plot devices. We've been doing this crap for 30 years, with a different layer of topping on story cake that is the entirety of the FF series.

Well, no, we don't all do that, certainly not on our first time through.

That's what I'm saying, though. This isn't a new behavior just related to the MSQ dungeons. So it shouldn't have been any surprise that people who have seen it will skip it. Saying something generalizing like "XIV, and FFs in general aren't for you if you don't like story" is a rather disappointing way of looking at things, considering just how many FFs there are that do just get blown through. I mean, look at the speedrun community. They make that an art form. Even the average player going through it will skip text and dialogue of the parts they find boring. And dear lord, is the MSQ dialogue boring. They even took out the options to say different things to Gaius just to force the cutscenes. The solution was not to force cutscenes, but to fix the way the two dungeons are presented, something they obviously learned in Heavensward and Stormblood.
