Cutscene interruptions

[Dotsusama]

In Patch 3.1 we’re implementing a change that will stop messages, such as retainer venture announcements and market board sales, from displaying during cutscenes. Soon you’ll be able to sit back and be fully immersed in cutscenes without being interrupted by your pesky retainers.

FINALLY

I had venture messages interrupt my Eternal Bond cutscenes. You know. The ones I cannot replay ever, and would have to redo all over again if I wanted to record it (which I thankfully did) without annoyances like that?

Also, please make sure people leaving the party, light / full party messages, and also the fanfare from obtaining loot -- all those sounds have to be muted too. Let me discover what happened when the cutscene is DONE.

Many thanks!

While we're at it, when you're in a cutscene and you bring the chat windows and then you right click on them to try to hide them that right click advances the current dialog. Can it please be changed so that it doesn't advance?

Does this include the option to turn off the GIANT TEXT across the screen outside cutscenes? For example, "RETAINER VENTURE COMPLETE," "FATE JOINED," and "DELIVERY COMPLETE."

Could we have this option out of cutscenes too please? I'd really like to turn them off always. Also could we have this option for "FULL PARTY" "QUEST ACCEPTED" "FATE JOINED" pop-ups and gathering pop-ups that already display in my chat log and on the gathering menu? please! please! please! pretty pretty please~~~!!!


I go into detail in this old thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...progress-info. on how these pop-ups clutter the screen and how redundant they are because the information is also displayed in chat-logs,gathering menus,mini-map,icons over mobs etc.

I feel these pop-ups are distracting even during game play and not just cutscenes. They often block the view of what I'm fighting or the next crafting leve description menu.

I'd personally prefer not to have to keep clicking the screen to keep the CS advancing! THAT is what ruins my immersion more often. Just let it roll, but if you R click you can pause it instead.

That's actually a very good idea! As long as it was made an option in the Config though - say, have the option to keep it as it is now (in other words, 'Manually click to advance dialogue text in quest cutscenes') with an alternative in the form of 'text automatically advances after certain time has passed', with a time counter that can be set according to how the player wishes, say, five, ten or twenty seconds'.

That way players have the choice whether to keep having to click through text dialogue manually in cutscenes, or have them automatically advance. Everyone will be happy that way.

Especially in voiced cutscenes, in some cases it plays out like a movie where you don't have to click anything but that's uncommon. I wish there was option to make every voiced cutscene like that, it breaks my immersion when I have to click to advance anything, including their movements. Makes everything feel so disjointed.

Any chance of adding the messages that flash going "{X Item} added to Loot List" and so forth? Since I just completed Alexander: Midas: Burden of the Son the other day, and that has a really, really cool victory cut scene. I wanted to get some killer screenshots of it, but I couldn't really because those little loot messages kept flashing across the screen!

You can just hit the hide UI key for that though. Scroll lock by default. I don't think this was worth necroing this old thread for.

...why we had to wait 2+ years for this when so many other restrictions, that make even less sense, have been in place since the start, I'll never understand. Still, better late than never, I guess.
