True, but my point was that newbies can and do skip those cutscenes so that they dont keep the rest of the group sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Yeah the dungeon intro's arent that bad, but again, some dungeons (ifrit, the final boss of thousand maws) if someone is there for the MSQ there are some pretty lengthy cutscenes. Also, what if the newbie(s) themselves want to skip the cutscenes? Say they wanted to do it before they have to leave for work or something then watch the cutscenes when they get home and can enjoy them. Nope, going to have to hold off on doing that because you dont have an entire hour available to (as the quote puts it) go on a theater ride.
