If you don't like the game, don't play it. Not everyone likes final fantasy's style, and that's just fine.
What’s awful advice is to say everyone should do the story from the beginning. Shadowbringers is an excellent starting point, and that’s by design.

If you’re going to quit if you have to play through hundreds of hours of cutscenes and mindless fights, I’d rather you skip them and enjoy the actual game instead.

Provided you do your gameplay homework. I also expect players to kick you if you haven’t done your gameplay homework.

I like the story myself; I log in at patch drop just so I can have everything done before spoilers hit. I have the presence of mind to realize not everyone is like this, though, and encourage them to play the game the way they like.

That means encouraging skips if that’s what it takes to get to the “fast bit” which is exactly what Shadowbringers is right now. They’re not going to get that until late Stormblood otherwise.
