The pressure to skip cut-scenes!

[Incendium]

Can't you watch them from your room?

Can't you watch them from your room?

Can't you just not play FFXIV:ARR at all and just watch someone stream it or look up a video on youtube?

Can't you watch them from your room?

would you rather watch a game with friends in real-time or would you just rather see the highlight reel on the news?

I have never come across this yet.... and will refuse to do so. I want to experience the game and if they cannot see that then i know some people who wont get heals :P

[Elaria]

Nope, I will not skip the CS nor ask anyone to. Who am I to tell anyone what they can or can't watch? My main is also a healer so if you're in that much of a rush and not need my heals then I hope you brought potions.

I ignore this and I just watch cut scene when I am new to it.

[Shou-Kun]

Wow is this really an issue? So much sense of entitlement on these forums. I'm 90% positive no one skips their first time watching a cut scene, game has been out officially out..what 8 days? What's the rush people? This game will be around for a while believe me so people better get used to it or quit. I'm okay with either.

I'm still amazed that there are seriously people who think it's unacceptable to let new players watch a storyline cutscene. It only takes a few minutes. If your time is really that precious that you can't wait patiently for 1-2 minutes while a new player enjoys a piece of the storyline you have probably already enjoyed, then what are you doing playing a videogame in the first place?

I wish I was shocked that this was even an issue, but getting older is just turning me into cynical old man. Everyone needs to learn to respect one another, allow everyone to have a good time and play cooperatively, rather than continue to make an *** of themselves.

Do not demand anyone to skip anything unless you form a party specifically for that purpose. If you want to do a speed clear and you use duty finder, you're doing it wrong.

I agree with OP and think it is incredibly annoying. I am all for people skipping the cut-scenes if everyone in the party has already done the dungeon and watched it, however if they have never done the dungeon before let them watch it! I had to skip every cut-scene for the last 2 storyline dungeons because people in my party refused to wait 1 minute. It's incredible how rude people can be in the duty finders when you know you will never see those players ever again. And I know you can just watch them in the inn afterwards but it won't ever feel as epic from the first time watching it right before the fight.
