    Restarting Cutscenes!

    I apologize in advance if this is not the proper place for this thread discussion.

    It has been very irritating lately when I am in the middle of a cutscene, and a DF I have been waiting for goes off, and I have to skip my cutscene(or click really fast through NPC dialogue to skip) to be able to start my DF that popped. I was just wondering if there are any current plans to address this now or in the future, and if not, could a way be thought up? Such as when you are given the option to click the ESC button and then proceed to click "Skip Cutscene", maybe an option to "Restart Cutscene", so when you come back from your DF you can start it over and read through it? Obviously in situations such as the "Praetorium" I can understand not being able to restart a cutscene, since that is an instanced dungeon, but in most other cases, it would help.

    I also know people will probably say "Just don't DF while doing a cutscene or quest", but a lot of scenes or quests or dialogue I read through, don't seem like they would take more than 5 minutes, then the DF expected average wait time is over 30 minutes, so you're just sitting around waiting, when you can be doing quests at the same time. Know what I mean? Just simply not signing up for a DF because you have a small cutscene you want to watch or read through shouldn't stop you from doing so because of a problem like this.

    Regardless, anyone that can shed some light on this situation, please let me know. Also, if you feel the same way, please respond, thank you!

    P.S. I know you can re-watch cutscenes in your inn room, but you cannot re-read NPC dialogue that is not cutscene related, so :\

    This might not be ideal but XIVDB dot com has all the quest text archived, so you can search for a particular quest and select the dialogue tab to read everything NPCs said.
