"... set aside sufficient time ..."

[Reimmi]

Literally impossible since people read at different rates

What video game gives you a heads up of each cutscene duration prior...

So how about TELLING US how much time is needed for the unskippable cutscenes Squenix.

You're asking us to stop doing anything else so we can be awestruck by your uber CSes but you don't tell us if it's 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 30 mins!!!

Stop being your usual inscruitable selves and for once just make a clear statement for once.

Thanks.

Because the amount of time needed is going to vary based on different factors.

What language are you using? Some are faster, some are slower.

Are you using auto-advance or are you clicking to advance the cutscene after you've pondered what was just said?

If there is combat involved, some players will be quicker than others in completing it.

Some players will get interrupted by things outside of game, like phone calls and children.

Just plan for an hour. I can't think of any that have taken me longer than that, outside of the very end of post-ARR and that was only a few minutes longer. Most of the time, it should be done in a half hour and you'll end up with the extra time for other things.

Lalafell confirmed.

Seems more like a Karen to me. A lalafell would know better.

Your forum name also makes your comment deliciously ironic.

Well, that was a fast answer !

More seriously, FFXIV is kind of a “cutscenes game”, so if you don’t like them, as others said, skip them. I always thought it was nice from SE to warn us about some possible lengths.

Well I'm a fast guy!

wait...hold on.

The time thing is not an issue for me personally, but after putting myself in OP's shoes and trying to understand their grievance, then I can see their point of view.

Thier told to set aside time, they would like to know a ballpark measure of that amount of time at least, nothing wrong with that.

That's what she said.

They don't have to give an exact time (I.e. 25 minutes, 43 seconds). A rough estimate (I.e. Approximately 25 to 30 minutes) would work fine.
