    In unsynced, it does become arbitrary. Friends that take their sprout friends through the MSQ dungeons generally let them enjoy the cutscenes. But why should the people who are not a sprout have to sit through them as well?

    Keep in mind that there are also newbies that aren’t interested in watching the cutscenes.

    What reason would you have to even do this dungeon unsynced with people who have already done it?

    Friends or FCs will sometimes take sprouts through the content unsynced so they don’t have to sit in a queue, or so the sprout could watch the cutscenes back before the roulette changes.

    I have alts I'm leveling, albeit it slowly. Normally, I'd poke a friend to just blitz me through some of the more annoying dungeons. Now we're both forced to watch cut scenes neither of us care to see again whenever I reach these two dungeons. While not a big deal, it's still annoying.

    That's not what I asked. My question was why would you have a reason to do this dungeon unsynced with people who have already done it. If your alt hasn't completed it, you'd have a reason to do it unsynced with someone. What reason would people have to do this dungeon unsynced with characters who have already completed it?

    But I see now that entire reason I asked the question was because I misunderstood Hyomin's original statement.

But there's zero reason to be unable to skip them if you are doing the content unsynced/with an undersized party. It's just an arbitrary restriction. The devs can keep the restriction if the content is being done synced, but I personally see no need for it in unsynced.

    I'm all for this. I also think if there's no new player in a group, the cutscenes should be skippable.
    My apologies >.>

    Oh, I’m sorry if I was unclear. I was posting from my phone, and mobile version is so annoying I try not to be too lengthy in my posts.

    Apologies! Misread your post. I suppose that's why they didn't bother with the unsync option. Not enough people to bother.
