Pointless Cut Scenes

[ToxicFox]

It is pointless complaining, because it doesn't improve the game at all taking it out or leaving it in. Like someone said, this sounds more liking finding a reason to complain, then actually bringing a valid complaint to the table.

I wouldn't waste my time on something if I didn't think it was important.

!: CS can crash the game. (skipping these CS's seems to make it happen.)

2: Being forced to skip a CS or watch it every time I try to go somewhere is a waste of time not to mention the airship has 2 CS's.

3: Its a simple enough thing to do and wouldn't take much more time then it takes to make one of these CS's. (Your complain about them spending their time on better things goes out here.)

4: Offering a toggle would keep everyone happy.

I am aware number 1 won't always be a problem but I believe fixing the bad coding that is causing the crash will take longer to fix then adding a bypass. Not to mention they are already planning to redo the entire game in 2.0 so it would be pointless to redo the coding for these CS's. In the end this is a temp band aid until 2.0 comes out. If you intend to keep saying its pointless then please leave and don't come back here.

In regards to the finding something to complain about comment I have read all the post here and do not recall seeing that one. I would of replied to it if I did so don't make stuff up in your head.

lets just remove everything, hell why even have graphics, lets go back to text games!

I'm a fan of the cutscenes. You can always skip them.

People would still complain.

I taught we were past the "game crashes a lot" phase.

We're not. If I skip the cutscene too early, the same thing happens to me.

I think it would be better if all you had to do was press skip when entering a CS.. as apposed to waiting for it to load, then press o then x. The grin on chocoback when exiting the city is pretty annoying tho..

As a person who's game crashes all the time from overheating (until I changed cards), I never crashed from CS's. While I don't say it doesn't exist, if you believe the issue is big enough to remove the CS's, you are dead wrong.

2: Being forced to skip a CS or watch it every time I try to go somewhere is a waste of time not to mention the airship has 2 CS's.

EDIT: Sorry, reading comprehension was off there. What is so bad about dealing with a second of CS to simply skip? It is simply hit the cancel button then hit skip. How is this so inconvenient to your time? Loading screen comes up regardless.

3: Its a simple enough thing to do and wouldn't take much more time then it takes to make one of these CS's. (Your complain about them spending their time on better things goes out here.)

The question is, why? Some people enjoy the CS's and you have the option to skip it. Why remove what you don't have to deal with. Optional is the key word.

4: Offering a toggle would keep everyone happy.

Going through programming on 1.0 just to make a function to toggle on/off a CS doesn't seem like it is worth it since people are too lazy to hit the cancel button than skip. It sounds like laziness now.

I am aware number 1 won't always be a problem but I believe fixing the bad coding that is causing the crash will take longer to fix then adding a bypass. Not to mention they are already planning to redo the entire game in 2.0 so it would be pointless to redo the coding for these CS's. In the end this is a temp band aid until 2.0 comes out.

With optimization supposedly much better in 2.0 and a whole new engine, who knows what will happen when we transit from one thing to another, but why can't you deal with it in 1.0 for now and just see how it is done in 2.0? I have a giant list of things I want changed in 1.0, but I am not putting them all over the forums because I know they are going away and a new system is changing all of it.

My question is, why should the Dev's put work into something so insignificant that is eventually going to be thrown away to satisfy knit pickers? If your problem is crashing, then simply bring up the fact it is crashing in the tech help section. Bring up the issue with the bug. If you and others are having this issue, then Dev's would eventually see it and possibly fix the issue.

I understand the desire behind some CS's that are in the game but some are just wasting our time. Like the chocobo one to outside of the city or the lift one. Not only do these CS's delay us some of them crash our game like the one in Uldah. Please just remove these CS's, we don't need to see ourselves walk onto a lift then walk off a lift.

Probably already pointed out by this time, but the cutscenes are just a way to add immersion while it loads the next area you're moving to. The same way the long corridors do all over the place. As already said, you have the option of hitting esc twice and staring at a black loading screen instead if you should wish to.

Although, it would be nice I suppose in 2.0 to have a "skip transistion/intro cutscenes" option in the configuration but you'd always run the risk of someone missing out on cutscenes for a particular event they would have liked to see.

You guys also have to think about the amount of manpower it would take to fix things.

Complaining about something that would be a quickfix isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel, it's asking to fix something that is reasonably easy to fix.

(like the order of Yes and No on the airship exit docks, can probably be fixed in a matter of minutes but noone thinks it is a "big issue" so it doesn't get the five minutes it needs to fix it)

The poor few seconds of it all!
