Here's the thing: Square has made this a part of our daily rotation in leveling character. We didn't do that - they did. They pushed players away from fate grinding; they made these long, story-based instances the cornerstone of our grind.

So, like it or not, there are a ton of veterans in these dungeons, at all hours of the day, every day of the year. There are people who have seen these cutscenes play out hundreds - if not thousands - of times. And they are entitled to be a little tired of it.

And the response shouldn't be "WELL HUR HUR HUR, WHAT ABOUT THE NEWBS?!" Watch the damned thing on Youtube if you're so desperate for 20 minutes of scripted dialogue, half of which isn't even spoken.
