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.
It's pretty much always been all or nothing when it comes to these 2 instances though. SE is just removing the "nothing". Sure they'll forever be a great source of torment for many and a blight upon FF14's group instances in regards to clearing places quickly but until the day SE decides it shall no longer be a thing you do with other players or decides to remove the cutscenes or just plain integrate the cutscenes into part of the duty whuddyagunnado?
