"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

I loved every minute of it, the portrayal of an overwhelming sense of dread and helplessness was fantastically done. It took me two attempts to clear it out on it's original difficulty.

It was nice to have some sort of a challenge to play through that was unexpected. I can see why some might not have had the same experience, but it really was a great storytelling moment.

As much as I enjoyed this almost 1on1 Metal Gear style gameplay, I can see why people have issues with it because it feels like such a farcry from anything previously and that it just takes hella long.

Love stealth mechanics but holy moly was this the most garbage instance ever. Got lost and ended up going to the beginning 2 times, hugged the all and found the magitek, then learned i needed fuel and a key. Ran back and forth from the magitek 4 times trying to look for fuel because I left the fuel tank 3rd time thinking it would auto pocket like the medical aide. Almost tossed my controller.

I kinda liked it but I disliked the lack of direction. My first attempt I wasted almost the entire time looking for the magitek you need the fuel and key for, I was just running around trying to find an opening to get to the camp lol.

I enjoyed the stealthy mission as Thancred much more than this one, but both were a nice change of pace in my opinion.

Well, if you ever wondered why classes get easier and easier with each coming expansion and new dungeons are nothing but an amalgamation of cool effects on top a straight corridor with zero sustenance behind it, there you go.

People are literally angry and threatening to ragequit because they have to explore the map a little and press different buttons. For once. In a new released expansion. Yikes.

I liked the quest overall but did hate it when i died thrice and had to start over..

I'm on the opposite side of the fence, myself. I loved that quest for many reasons. I was entirely focused on story and not gameplay mechanics at that point, so I enjoyed feeling what the people of Garlemald felt, why they were so afraid to go out on their own, or engage the haywire magiteks - they're not the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, nor are they the Warrior of Light, so they're forced to hide and avoid danger as much as they can.

I want more perspective altering content like this, it was a welcome route, in my opinion.

I had a lot of fun with this duty. Almost all of the content in this game is a face roll, so it's nice to have to do something that isn't free.

Seriously considering quitting the game over this one.

I wish there was a way to skip it or have all the requirements and routes indicated on the map, fuck this MSQ Duty, got it done and never looked back. It also didn't matter in the story later anyway, like a disposable excuse to make you look more vulnerable and for certain characters to parrot the lines for effect or something.
