    Request for a "Never Show Dungeon Cutscenes" option!

    Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere.

    As a PS3 user, my load times are atrocious. Whether it's in a dungeon or loading into a populated area, I can expect to wait at least 15-20 seconds. This is especially noticeable in Castrum Meridium, where certain cutscenes will load, keep playing for a few seconds after I've hit to skip them, and then load the battlefield again. By the time it's all finished, my party has ran ahead of me. I've even had groups think I was watching the cutscene!

    To alleviate this problem, and to help other people who don't feel like hitting "Skip" for every freakin' cutscene in a dungeon run, there should be an option to never load cutscenes. Instead, have the screen go black with the loading animator in the bottom right, and then plop you wherever you should be (some cutscenes will put you back at the beginning of an arena, like the final CM fight, while others keep you in the same place.) I believe this will also help with PC players who do not feel like manually skipping cutscenes.

    I understand a lot of work went into them, and I really do enjoy them, but sometimes, I just want to run a dungeon. Especially since the biggest bang for your buck in terms of philosophy tokens are the story dungeons, which feature a staggering number of cutscenes one must manually skip.

    Thanks.

    Looking at the games design to have to farm dungeons this would be a heavens gift.

    I installed a SSD in my PS3 for this game and I'm normally 2nd to load/finish cutscenes in DF. Cost about 90 bucks on amazon.

    Would be nice, but maybe instead of never showing, give an option to make it only show if it's your first time seeing it.

    I've made a topic about this as well. When the content is on farm, running the same dungeon 5-6 times in a row skipping the same exact 10 or so cutscenes get's old really fast. Not to mention how some of these scenes happen while pulling >

    Disabling cutscenes should be an option at least after the initial dungeon run.
