Skipping cutscenes in MSQ Roulette

I just watch videos on youtube when i run MSQ

Funny thing is, there's a lot of people, like myself, and almost every member of my FC, that started to run this roulette MORE after the change. All the salt and drama of speed-runners vs. CS watchers was stripped out in one fell swoop, and it's now a braindead easy source of exp and level 50/60 tomes for gearing alt jobs and characters. If the rewards once all jobs are at 70 is lackluster, then just skip it, it's not like there's 6+ other, FASTER roulettes to run for tomes-OH WAIT.

How about a debuff where the characters can't move until it falls off? Do debuffs disappear if a person dcs?

The cutscenes should be cut out of the MSQ roulette and put on an NPC the players can click on to get the cutscenes in a flashback. It's unreasonable to put anyone through a 50 minute long cutscene festival. It was badly designed and they should fix it.

The solution is... not to do the roulette if you don't want to watch the cutscenes. It is really not complicated. I don't want to sit through them so *drumroll* I don't do the roulette. They could pull them back out, but then they would tank the rewards. Pick one: Cutscenes or extra rewards. You aren't going to get both.

Get real, I play alts who are forced to sit through them. New players on my runs complain about how short the fights are and how long the cutscenes are.

Nobody likes the 8 mans, they're badly designed.

Get real, alts only have to do it once per-character. Any further is your choice.

Would you expect someone to only watch the action scenes in a movie, with the option of seeing the dialogue sometime later stripped of the action, and come away feeling like they've watched a coherent movie? Because that's exactly the effect that would have.

This is the climax of the game, and the dungeons are designed to give it to them as a sequential movie of action and dialogue. It's a pity they didn't foresee the issues of doing that in a multiplayer game, but we're stuck with it. You can queue to rewatch the movie, or leave it.

And yes, it's pretty tedious after umpteen viewings - but on the first time through, it was amazing. It doesn't feel as slow when you're trying to take it all in.

All the new players on my recent alt runs despised the MSQ dungeons. Two to four minutes of action followed by three, five, and seven minute cutscenes.

I have a friend that just started not to long ago. he got to 50 and I said "Nice. Almost time to do the 8 mans. but be prepared one will take about 40 mins" He bought the story skip. No lie.
