[Suggestion] Conditional Cutscene Skipping

[Zefie_M]

From what I have been reading, some have ran up and started the battle while others are still watching the cutscene. For example, say your tank and DPS skipped, but the healer is watching. The tank is impatient and runs up to the monster. They all get wiped, and then blame the healer for watching the cutscene. I agree it is a cultural issue, but the reason I suggest a 'conditional' is mainly for end-game. While I am not there yet, I hear many like to re-run end-game dungeons and bosses with their FC mates, which have all likely done it at least once. If you are re-running for gear, the skip is a great option.

I've personally never had this problem. I've been lucky in the fact that the members I group with are polite. I posted this here because I commented on reddit, and was asked to post it as a suggestion to Square Enix.

Is this actually even possible? As far as I'm aware, every time I've zoned in to any of the dungeons/instances I've been in, I've been confined to a small circular area until everyone has completed watching cutscenes.

It is. I've been in a party in Toto-rak where the tank charged in to fight the last boss while a DPS were watching cutscene for around half the fight or more. Fortunately, we didn't wipe despite. So far I've only seen the 'lock' of a circle in the beginning of a dungeon. Not when meeting bosses.
