I'll try this. I think I tried this once a long time ago and it didn't restart the cutscene. Maybe that was a glitch or I'm just senile. But I'll give this a shot.If I'm not mistaken, accepting the queue mid cutscene (and you get teleported to said duty) will make it so when you return you have to restart the cutscene you were in.
I can swear that I've had to re-watch a few this way.
So if this is the case, don't skip the cutscene the next time a queue pops midway.
It certainly works, I was in queue for frontlines prior to the daily reset yesterday and it popped while I was in the middle of a cutscene - after my match it took me back outside to the step just before I triggered the cutscene and replayed it entirely from the beginning.
I would just avoid changing class from the you've queued up as if possible should you plan to watch the cutscenes since you won't be able to change classes during a cutscene, and I imagine you wouldn't want to miss what's currently happening.


It will always let you restart the cutscene if the cutscene doesn't finish. If you hit escape and abort the cutscene, then yeah you have to go to the inn to watch it again.
As long as you are the same job you queued as, you shouldn't have any problem if the duty finder pops up.
And just in case people are harping on "why are you in the duty finder during a cutscene", some raid queues can be anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 hours depending on the role and time of day. So it's not a reasonable thing to say "then don't queue" if you know the queue is going to take a while. It's usually more of a problem when you are doing crafting. If you're doing crafting, you can't change the job back during the cutscene to accept the duty finder pop. But there aren't too many times where you will see a crafting cutscene to begin with, and they're usually nowhere near as long as MSQ ones.
This was implemented a few years agothat’s probably why you remember the days we were forced to skip CS when duty popped.
