Almost 50... cutscene solution?

[Mayin]

I too like many tanks are almost lv 50 and im approaching the time when i'll get yelled at for running cutscenes (which I will). I was just thinking the other day, why can't SE pause the timer when somebody is in a cutscene? They onl happen during boss fights so I don't see the big deal, unless you think some ppl would deliberately use them to speed run backwards for treasure boxes maybe?

Because that would be too much like FFXI and the XIV community largely despises anything and everything to do with XI. There's nothing wrong with skipping it as you can go to your Inn Room and watch every cutscene. The only difference is you wouldn't be with a group - Which doesn't matter as much (it is cool but it doesn't) since the story treats you as a singular hero anyway.

They mention there's others but your party up until castrums doesn't really matter to what's being said/shown

I agree with this. A full on pause needs to happen if there are people still in cutscenes, just to annoy the vocal "leet" tomestone farmers that insult people who watch the cs.

I've heard that not all the cutscenes are available back in the inn.

I watch cutscenes. Idc if my group gets mad. They can leave and take the penalty if they are so pissed.

Tell them they can either wait for you to finish the scene, or they can wait for a new tank in queue.

Where is this 'inn room' you speak of? I've not seen such a feature in the game yet...

This. I've only run into one instance where a cut-scene really can cause problems, the next to last story dungeon. You become unhurtable during them, but mobs are still there, and if anyone skips it, they have to fight them without those in the cut-scenes. It would be best in my view if one of those circles popped up around characters so others couldn't start boss fights, or get hurt until they are all over, even in the middle of dungeons.

Last story dungeon, head tank told everyone to go watch cut-scenes at the "moogle house" (wut?), and that the dungeon takes too long to run if you watch them. He convinced everyone to skip, and we finished with over 40 mins left on the timer.

Early in the story quests, you talk to a inn-keeper, in Limsa he's next to the lift in the Drowning Wench. You ask for a room, and there is a room with a box to store special items, a journal that shows cut-scenes, and a bed. I'm not sure, but i've read that you get more rested xp in there, so i've been logging out it every time if i can. Other cities have them too, i'm just not sure where.

in 8 mans there are 2 tanks , if the other tanks decide to go ahead and tank the boss ,u are going to finish the cutscene and find yourself out of the combat circle , so if the whole raid is rushing u miss the CS or the battles ...

you should unlock it by doing the story, I think. There's one in every city, you can log out through the bed and get 'well rested' xp bonus.
