Main Scenario cutscenes...

Not only do i get the nice fuzzy feeling of helping a new player get through the cool new dungeon, but I also get the best exp-per-hour ratio of the game outside of mega-optimal sweaty squadron/hoh runs. There's always youtube/twitch to watch or chat with friends during cutscenes

squadron/hoh are the opposite of sweaty, even if you're booking it to the end

People who frequent the forums will tell you that there used to be post after post of frustrated newbies complaining that they wanted to watch cutscenes while in the instance. I'd say their preference overtakes the vets who run it just for the rewards. And what amazing rewards they are for such easy fights. Skipping them again means we lose the most rewarding roulette in the game.

Five years into it, Square has no excuse for making these dungeons a requirement for new players. They needed to be edited out, if not the need for 7 other people to waste their time, years ago.

Being a little dragoon with no option to queue boost can easily take a new player 40+ minutes because these are so hated. That's before even getting into the dungeon.

I honestly find they should rework those dungeons and bring them up to date. This game has been around for so long and these 2 dungeons have always been a problem because of the inbuilt cutscenes. The Staff is perfectly aware of this too.
On the n00bies sides you have endlessly long waiting times to queue and on the Vets side you have long dungeons that aren't really worth your time.
They could remove the cutscenes and have speech bubbles instead. That would be the easiest fix I can think of.

With how much everyone talks in those cutscenes, you'd either clip them and lose the story, or you'd have to wait until they're done to keep going. Especially Gaius.

No frankly your entire attitude is what needs the heave ho. Your self righteous I'm the only one who's right attitude is beyond disgusting. Dungeoun stays as is dont like it dont freaking do it people are better off without dealing with that kind of behavior anyways.
