    Extreme Trial Cut Scene Skip Requested

    This idea has probably been thrown out before, but it would be great to have an option when forming with a pre-formed party for earlier extreme trials to have an option to skip cutscenes (CS) in the extreme.

    Most of the CS's take as long as the fight does (i.e., Cinder Drift (Extreme) and the rest of that expansions). I wouldn't recommend a press B (on controller) or ESC (on PC) option mid-trial, but rather a setting you can turn on in the Duty Finder settings prior to queueing up a party.

    Adding something like this would save a lot of players working to get loot from those extremes a lot of time and headaches.

    This is only really an issue for Cinder Drift and Castrum Marinum. Hades' Elegy was given 2 tomes instead, and people stopped complaining about its length. Making Ruby and Emerald drop 2 totems like all non-x.0 trials do would solve the issue.

    They kinda fixed this issue in Endwalker, where bosses only have their transitioning cutscene in normal mode but not in extreme, but they rarely do any changes to old content so i wouldn't bet on that.

    I never bothered to do Hades Ex after the initial clear for that exact reason. Sure it gives you 2 totems but I just don't find a 10 minute fight where I'm not actually doing anything for half of it enjoyable.
