Please reduce the amount of cinematic on Main Scenario Roulette duties

[Holana]

Hello, I'm a new player from FFXIV and I've been playing quite alot since I created my first character, first I leveled all crafting and 3 classes up to 35 (as free trial) and I enjoyed how the game was doing so far, but one thing that bothers me alot is the restriction of invisible barriers in the middle of the map and some other stuff that Square Enix could've solve on ARR 2.0.

Then after doing alot of quests, I realized how tiring it was being the main scenario questline with so much of cinematics and cutscenes, especially after you get at Mor Dhona, where every quest has 2 minute length of cinematic, where you could have just baloons of speech about characters while you do the action and few cinematics with important things (like dicovering who white haired person really was) (not giving spoliers).

Then I found myself with the last 2 MSQ from ARR... and I got surprised how the game could make me feel mad with the quantity of cutscenes and talking when you are facing the boss and you have the opportunity to take it down but the game forces you to hear every cinematic, everything.. .

So please Square Enix, fix that, remove that huge amount of cinematics, put only the important ones, remove the dialogue/cutscenes before the bosses and let people have their fun, I'm saying as a new player, who did this once, and I've seen more than 1 hour of pure cinematics to play the game.

Also, I wish these duties could've been with npcs because veteran players rush everything, leaving you behind, which is acceptable, since they're there to grind stuff.

Thank in advance.

This is an extremely common topic under the dungeon subforum, and those two dungeons are the only ones like that. Squeenix learned their lesson.

They've talked about possibly overhauling the dungeons, but any big changes they make will also mean the msq roulette's rewards will drop signifigantly.

But yeah, from HW on, the endgame is a grand 4 person dungeon then an 8 person trial.

Also this isn't really a localization issue btw.

Thank your lucky stars you didn't start 18 months ago. All the cutscenes were skippable, the rewards were poor, the queue times were longer and all new players were left behind in a cloud of dust, didn't know where to go, missed all the cutscenes because people skipped from one to the next and in many cases were kicked from the party for wanting to watch the cutscenes (as is their right) and were perceived as lazy players who didn't want to contribute.

They have already said they will sort the quest issues of post-ARR out soon, been a long time coming
