The problem is more that people are complaining about a simple questline you can get done in less than a day if you cutscene skip, and causing a huge fuss over what is to many a non-issue BECAUSE it's that quick to get through. Hell, it's faster than getting through Ivalice if you cutscene skip. People are raging and acting like this is the end of the world when IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. Just skip the cutscenes if you don't like the story and bumrush to the end. Spend a few hours today, or hell, do 1-2 quests a day, you'll still be done before it comes out. Speaking of which, it comes out IN OCTOBER. You have more than 2 months to do this.
