    Put me on board for 100% in favour of cutscenes.

    You know what we do if there is a long scene that could be a problem in a fight? (IE to Kill a Raven) We just let people watch on their first attempt, wipe and do it a second time. So we lost what 10 minutes in that fight, but people get to enjoy the game the way it is meant to be enjoyed.

    Not to mention it is way more fun to watch the scenes with full parties in them vs watching you solo it up in the Inn. As people have said, story and cutscenes are part of Final Fantasy, they have been since day 1. If they disappeared it would be like Zelda removing all the puzzles.

    This "problem" is fixable though. Do not allow fights to begin while a party member is in the scene. Allow them to be skipped if the entire party votes "Yes to skip."

    But sure it would be much better if you could watch the cutscene and still have the full 30 minutes.

    The easy fix is to stop timers during cutscenes. I think the devs said something about a ready button recently

    So you enter the dungeon / instance, you watch / skip the cs. hit your ready button and only when everyone has pressed it does the timer start ticking....

    It probably won't work like that but it should. what they'll do is unless everyone is ready stop you entering the dungeon instance or whatever and still skip the cs eatingthe timers etc
