Yeah, the game does suffer immensely from an over-reliance on prompt confirmation. It's a lot more common in regards to ARR content, though it does still show up in some recent content as well. Whenever I do a MSQ Roulette it isn't the forced cutscenes that bother me - it's the amount of times someone has to pick up an item and use a device.

Aetheryte ticket use is another annoyance. I wish I could just set them to be used automatically...
