Defiance--and I assume some other games--have a feature like this. Cutscenes cannot be skipped unless the entire group chooses to skip them.

Personally I wouldn't be a fan of it in FFXIV. Watchers give non-watchers a chance to chat, sort inventory, do a quick afk, etc--the kind of things many players (obsessed with speed runs) wouldn't tolerate.
