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.
